GenLayer Airdrop Details

The GEN airdrop is confirmed. Registration closed on Saturday, October 31, and only wallets registered by then can claim GEN at TGE. There is still nothing to claim. Eligibility was set at the October 25 snapshot and ran on two paths: holding a qualifying GenLayer Discord role, or earning at least 150 GenLayer Points (GLP) plus either an accepted contribution or Discord XP from the community program.

Key Parameters:

  • Airdrop Allocation: TBA
  • Distribution Method: Registered wallets only, with eligibility based on Discord roles or GLP
  • Claim Date: Opens at TGE, date TBA (GenLayer refers to it as “THE DAY”)
  • Vesting Schedule: 20% unlocks on claim day, then 20% every month over the next four months

Season 1 of the points program ended on Sunday, October 25 at 23:59 UTC, when the final snapshot was taken. Withdrawing tokens early stops vesting: you keep what has unlocked and forfeit the rest.

GEN Tokenomics: GenLayer has published its GEN tokenomics. Genesis supply is 4.2 billion GEN, split as follows:

  • Community: 25% (1.05B GEN), made up of 19.5% Growth and 5.5% Early Ecosystem
  • GenLayer Foundation: 20% (840M GEN)
  • Early Contributors: 19.06% (800.68M GEN)
  • GenLayer Labs: 17.64% (741.02M GEN)
  • Investors: 13.29% (558.3M GEN)
  • DeepThought DAO: 5% (210M GEN)

Scam warning: there is no GEN claim yet. Bot accounts are spamming posts that say “$GEN claims are live on Base.” They are fake. GEN claims only open at TGE, and GenLayer has not announced a date. Do not connect your wallet to any site that offers a GEN claim before GenLayer confirms it on its official channels.

GenLayer is also moving its token and public network from ZKsync to Arbitrum. The next phase of the Bradbury testnet is now live.

How to Farm GenLayer Points Season 2

Season 2 started on October 26. It runs toward mainnet with its own points pool. GenLayer states that points have no cash value and that any rewards they unlock are at its discretion. Our airdrop farming guide covers how to track multiple programs like this.

Step 1: Set Up Your Points Portal Profile

Sign in to the GenLayer Points Portal with your wallet and link Discord and GitHub so contributions are credited.

Step 2: Claim Testnet GEN

The next Bradbury testnet phase is live. Add the Bradbury network and claim testnet GEN from the GenLayer Testnet Faucet.

Step 3: Deploy an Intelligent Contract

Deploy an example contract in GenLayer Studio. Builders earn up to 20% of the points their contracts generate.

Step 4: Submit Contributions and Refer Builders

Submit work on the Builder, Validator or Community track for review. Share your referral link to earn 10% of the points of builders you bring in.

Tips for the GEN Airdrop

Claim with the wallet you registered: The wallet choice was locked at registration, so GEN will only go to that address. Keep access to it until claims open.

Ignore “claims are live” posts: Bots are already pushing fake GEN claims on Base. Only use airdrop.genlayer.com and read our crypto safety guide before signing anything.

Think before withdrawing early: Pulling tokens out during vesting forfeits everything still locked, so weigh 20% now against the full amount over four months.

Important Terms

GenLayer Points (GLP): The unified points currency that replaced separate Builder and Community Points. GLP and Discord activity decide GEN airdrop eligibility.

Intelligent Contracts: GenLayer smart contracts written in Python that can process natural language and fetch live web data.

THE DAY: GenLayer’s name for the GEN claim day at TGE. 20% of each allocation unlocks then.

Conclusion

GEN airdrop registration closed on October 31, and only registered wallets will be able to claim GEN at TGE. The Season 1 snapshot is done, so registered users have nothing left to do until claims open.

Claims open at TGE, so ignore any post that says GEN is already claimable. Claimed tokens vest over four months after THE DAY, and Season 2 of GenLayer Points is open now. Track the claim date on our airdrop calendar and other live drops on the airdrop claims page.

What is GenLayer?

GenLayer is an AI-native blockchain that calls itself the adjudication layer for the agentic era. Its core product is Intelligent Contracts: Python-based contracts that can read natural language, process unstructured data and pull live web inputs, then return outcomes that are enforced on-chain. The native token is GEN, which GenLayer plans to use for staking and network fees.

Contracts run on GenVM, a Python virtual machine. AI-powered validators reach agreement through Optimistic Democracy, a consensus model where results are voted on and can be appealed. GenLayer is moving its token and public network from ZKsync to Arbitrum, with GenLayer Chain running as an Arbitrum Orbit chain that settles to Ethereum. It will keep working with ZKsync on private enterprise projects. Asimov and Bradbury are the live testnets, and the next Bradbury phase is now live.

GenLayer raised $7.5 million in a seed round led by North Island Ventures in August 2024, with Arrington Capital, MH Ventures, ZK Ventures and BlockBuilders also participating. The roadmap targets mainnet and the GEN launch for Q4 2026. It sits among the larger infrastructure plays in our AI airdrops category.
