The BOB Airdrop will go live on 20 November 2025 12:00 UTC, giving approximately 17,000 core community members and 200,000 wider community members the opportunity to claim a share of 415,000,000 BOB tokens. Additionally, more than 2000 Community Sale participants can claim the first 50% of their allocation.
This represents 6.15% of the BOB token supply, helping the BOB Foundation with its pledge to reward early community support, secure BOB’s hybrid chain via staking, and decentralize governance.
To receive their maximum possible initial allocation, airdrop recipients will need to stake their BOB on receipt and lock up for 18 months, thereby receiving 250% bonus tokens. Smaller bonuses are available for timelocking for shorter periods: 25% for 3 months timelock, 50% for 6 months timelock.
Early Staking APY and Timelock Staking Bonus
A one-time staking and timelock bonus of up to 250% on top of the early bird 60% staking APY is available to every BOB token holder during the first 60 days after token launch - whether they obtained their tokens via the airdrop, community sale or open market. The 200M token bonus pool will be allocated first come first served until depleted.
The bonus amount will differ depending on how long you lock up your staked tokens for. The longer the lock up, the greater the bonus, providing greater rewards for committed BOB community members that believe in the long term potential of the project.
The maximum staking APR during the first 2 months is 60%, continuing at maximum 15% APR thereafter. To receive the maximum APR, staked tokens must be delegated to both a hybrid node and a governance delegate. The staking rewards apply to the total staked amount, compounding rewards: e.g. if you stake & timelock 100 tokens for 6 months, your total stake receiving staking rewards will be 150 tokens (100 + 50 bonus for 6 month timelock).
Step by step guide to claiming and staking
There are step by step guides below for airdrop recipients, top snappers in the Cookie campaign, plus participants in the BOB community sale and wallet/quest campaigns.
1. BOB airdrop tokens
Claiming your BOB airdrop tokens on token launch day can be done in just a few simple steps. You will need to hold a small amount of ETH on the BOB network to cover the claiming transaction gas fee. If required, you can bridge some over using the BOB Bridge or one of our bridging partners.
Remember, all airdrop claims must be completed within 45 days of TGE.
The claiming and staking process is as follows:
1. Visit the claim page. Check the url carefully: claim.gobob.xyz
2. Once claims are live at 12:00 UTC, paste your BOB EVM wallet address into the eligibility checker. This is to protect users from needing to connect their wallet if they are not eligible.
3. You will then receive confirmation if you are eligible.
4. Connect the same wallet to display your allocation.
5. Accept the token distribution terms and conditions.
6. Claim your tokens to receive your BOB allocation into your wallet.
7. Head to the BOB staking app and connect the same wallet.
8. Choose your staking bonus and token lock up period.
9. Stake your tokens. Approve the transaction and your balance will be visible in the dashboard.
10. Delegate your tokens for maximum APR. Select a hybrid node and governance delegate to delegate your staked tokens to.
You have now successfully made your claim and staked to BOB. Welcome to the BOB holding community.
2. Cookie campaign rewards
The only difference for Cookie snappers is that you need to claim from a dedicated Cookie x BOB claim site. The first 40% of your allocation will be available to claim at token launch. The remaining 60% vests over the following three months - 20% on December 20th, 20% on January 20th and 20% on February 20th.
- Visit the special Cookie claim page. Check the url carefully: cookie.gobob.xyz
- Follow the same process above from step 2.
- Return to the same claim site each month to claim the next portion of your total allocation.
3. Community sale tokens
All participants in the $BOB Community Sale are now able to claim the first 50% of their token allocation.
- Select the correct claim site below, depending whether you participated via Gate Web3 Launchpad or CoinList:
- Gate Web3 Launchpad users: https://web3.gate.com/en/launchpad/bob
- CoinList users: https://app.hedgey.finance/investor-lockups
- Please connect the same non-custodial wallet you used for your bid, review the details and then claim the first portion of your new tokens. CoinList users will need a small amount of ETH on the BOB network to cover gas fees.
- Once you have the BOB tokens in your wallet, they can be immediately staked by following the above process starting at step 7.
The remaining 50% of sale tokens will vest over the following three months. 1/3 of this amount will be available to claim on each of the 20th December, 20th January and 20th February. It will be possible to add these amounts to your staked balance, but the bonus is only available one-time per wallet address.
4. Wallet and quest campaigns
Participants of the various wallet and quest campaigns need to receive or claim their BOB tokens in different ways.
- Binance Wallet campaign: Tokens will be distributed directly to your Binance wallet.
- OKX Wallet campaign: A dedicated claim page built by ClaimHQ will go live shortly after token launch.
- Layer3 Launchpad: Tokens will be distributed directly by the Layer3 team.
- Bitget, Xverse & Leap wallet campaigns: Rewards will be distributed as part of the main airdrop claim process.
5. Interlay x BOB NFT holders
Airdrop rewards for Interlay x BOB NFT holders are distributed as part of the main airdrop claim process. Simply follow the steps described above.
