Vangrid Airdrop Details
Vangrid has not confirmed an airdrop. A token is planned for later in 2026, but no allocation, snapshot, or eligibility rule has been published, which makes this a potential future airdrop rather than a scheduled one.
One detail is worth getting right before you start farming. Vangrid’s own Hub states that PTC points measure contribution and rank, are not a currency, and carry no monetary value. Several third-party sites report that PTC will convert into $VAN at TGE. Vangrid has not said that, and the Hub notes only that any future utility will be announced separately.
The money currently on the table comes from the $100,000 Rewards Program and funded bounties, which settle in USDC on Base rather than in points.
How to Participate in the Vangrid Airdrop
Step 1: Install the Vangrid App
Download the Vangrid App on Android, or open the browser capture tool if you are on iOS. Allow camera and location access, since captures without location data cannot be verified.
Step 2: Record a Capture That Meets the Spec
Film a location a robot would realistically need to cross. Vangrid accepts:
Sidewalks and pedestrian paths
Stairs and stairwells
Alleys and service lanes
Public squares and plazas
Skip roads, crowds of people, and private indoor spaces. Recording requirements:
Hold the phone vertically at chest level, using both hands
Walk at a steady pace and pan smoothly from side to side
Record 30 to 60 seconds in daylight
Step 3: Enter an Invite Code and Upload
Uploads are gated behind an invite code. Enter GRID-01 before uploading. Uploading daily adds a 50-point bonus, with further bonuses at 5, 10, and 50 total videos.
Step 4: Connect Your Wallet to the Loyalty Hub
Open the Vangrid Loyalty Hub and connect an EVM wallet. Your first login credits PTC on its own.
Step 5: Complete Loyalty Hub Quests
Work through the quest list: follow Vangrid on X, join the Discord, connect LinkedIn, engage with posts, and publish weekly X posts. Reach Discord through the Hub quest link rather than a forwarded invite. No legitimate verification asks you to sign a wallet transaction, so close any page that does.
Step 6: Unlock Grid Operator Status
Follow Vangrid on X, join the Discord, and submit one in-app video to earn the Grid Operator role and badge, which applies a 1.5x multiplier to your PTC.
Step 7: Submit to Funded Bounties
Browse open requests at the Vangrid bounty portal. These are location-specific asks from buyers, and selected submissions pay USDC on Base. Browsing requires no invite code.
Step 8: Refer Other Contributors
Share your Hub referral link. You earn 10% of the PTC your referrals generate, and each new user who joins through a link starts with a 50 PTC bonus.
Tips for Maximizing Your PTC Balance
Clear Grid Operator before you upload in volume. The 1.5x multiplier only applies to PTC earned after you qualify, so finish the three onboarding tasks first.
Prioritize bounties over the daily streak. A bounty pays USDC for a location a buyer actually wants. A random sidewalk is worth a 50-point streak entry.
Shoot in flat daylight. Overcast midday light avoids the hard shadows and blown highlights that break 3D reconstruction and drag down quality scores.
Frequently Asked Questions
Conclusion
Vangrid pays contributors today through funded bounties settled in USDC, while PTC sits separately as a contribution and ranking measure with no stated link to $VAN. Both are worth building for different reasons.
Clear Grid Operator for the multiplier, film requested locations in flat daylight, and upload often enough to hold the daily bonus.

What is Vangrid?
Vangrid is a DePIN project building a spatial data network for Physical AI. Contributors record short videos of real-world locations on their phones, and Vangrid turns those clips into verified 3D data that robots and autonomous systems can navigate with.
Amsterdam-based Vangrid raised $9 million in a seed round structured as a SAFT, announced on August 6, 2026, with HashKey, Borderless, Crypto.com Capital, Animoca Brands, Gate Labs, and Mapleblock Capital taking part.
