Celestia announces airdrop of 20,000,000 $TIA tokens

Celestia is making waves on crypto Twitter with its Genesis Drop, an airdrop campaign aiming to distribute 6% of its native TIA tokens. The campaign, which runs from September 26 to October 17, targets a wide audience. If you're a user of Ethereum rollups like Optimism, Arbitrum, or StarkNet, or networks like Cosmos and zkSync, you might be among the 584,232 on-chain addresses eligible for the airdrop. Of the 60 million TIA tokens up for grabs, 20 million are earmarked solely for Ethereum Rollup users.

The airdrop process is streamlined for ease. To claim your TIA tokens, you'll need a Kelpr wallet. After visiting Celestia's claim page and signing a MetaMask transaction, you can connect your Kelpr wallet. Once these steps are completed, your claim will automatically be included in the Genesis block when the mainnet goes live, and the TIA tokens will appear in your wallet.

It's worth noting that Celestia isn't just another startup; it's the leading data availability project that has already raised $56 million, according to Crunchbase. The minimum airdrop allocation for Ethereum Rollup users stands at 50.20 TIA for the top half of users, sparking widespread speculation about the potential value of TIA tokens. While US-based individuals are prohibited from participating and using tools to circumvent these restrictions could result in disqualification, the buzz surrounding Celestia's airdrop is palpable.
