January 21, 2025 Updates: Airdrop timeline was updated to include specific instructions on how to claim your airdrop. Check your allocation at https://claim.plumenetwork.xyz/.
Plume’s Airdrop Season 1 is the beginning of a transformative journey.
We’re incredibly excited to announce the first step in our path towards decentralization with the inaugural season of the Plume Airdrop. Our mission at Plume is to build a new world onchain that unifies the existing onchain economy and the real world. By building this bridge we can create a unified world where interacting with real world assets is as easy as interacting with crypto native assets – completely open, permissionless, and composable.
Plume has always been community first. We’ve been incredibly fortunate to get to know, work with, and build with so many incredible people from all over the world. Our ethos is to build a user centric world where individuals and communities have control – not middlemen and rent seekers. And as we’re building this world together, it’s only natural that we launch Plume hand in hand with our community. This airdrop is the first step.
As we prepare for Plume’s launch, this airdrop is intended to distribute tokens to participants in our ecosystem. While this airdrop is focused on early supporters, future initiatives will allocate significant resources for the Plume builder community. Together, we will build a new era of crypto where our purpose-built RWA chain and RWAfi ecosystem unlocks new use cases and creates a unified global economy accessible to the next billion users, dollars, and assets.

Recognizing Contributors
Plume’s Season 1 Airdrop is designed to reward key contributors across the Plume ecosystem. The allocation of the airdrop reflects the importance of participation, engagement, and shared vision.
Both Early Adopters and Global Community Members are required to fill out the registration form to ensure eligibility for the airdrop claim.
Early Adopters
The dedication of our early adopters and the strength of our community have been instrumental in Plume's development and growth.
Testnet users engaged in extensive hands-on testing, generating over 18 million wallets and executing more than 280 million transactions. This active participation allowed for rigorous stress-testing and valuable feedback on network performance and usability.
Pre-deposit stakers provided financial backing through the StakeStone and Nest campaigns, demonstrating a strong belief in Plume's potential to revolutionize RWAfi. Their participation is a signal of the health and potential of Plume as a highly robust and liquid chain.
Contributors that have been paramount to Plume's growth have been segmented into three groups, representing all types of participants and their unique contributions to the success of Plume.
Testnet Users with Miles: Plume’s testnet saw over 18M wallets and 280M transactions in 2024. Rewards will be distributed above a certain threshold on a tier-based system based on Plume Miles, Stamps earned, and all airplane mode tasks. To protect genuine users that have put time and effort into optimizing the network, there will be a set of anti-sybil measures in place to ensure fairness.
Active Community Members: Holders of select roles in the Plume Discord server who participated in the testnet campaign are eligible for a share in the airdrop. These roles were given out to early community members and active participants in the Plume Discord.
Pre-Deposit Stakers: Users who deposited above a certain threshold across all three of our pre-deposit campaigns with Stakestone and Nest, and held their funds in the vaults until TGE, will receive rewards proportional to their deposits. Participants of our third pre-deposit campaign were captured based on a screenshot that was taken on Jan 18, 5PM UTC.
Global Community Members
Plume’s Season 1 Airdrop is also intended to reward key communities in both the RWA ecosystem as well as the Plume ecosystem.
Pioneers like Ondo have built a foundation for both crypto natives and institutions to gather around. Polymarket has helped expand the story around RWAs away from just things like security tokens into how we see it – making it easy for users to interact with the real world onchain. AIXBT embodies how we see the future – where crypto, the real world, and AI all collapse into a single plane and live together side by side. Backed, Dinari, Swarm X and their users have all innovated in RWAs in novel ways. And we also support the incoming administration’s efforts towards a more collaborative and open stance regarding crypto in America and its initiatives such as World Liberty.
By including these communities, Plume aims to reward those who we have worked with, those we have learned from, and also foster a shared sense of ownership to encourage active participation in our RWAfi ecosystem.
The airdrop also serves as an invitation for these communities to explore and participate in Plume’s robust suite of projects and tools, fostering synergy and cross-pollination within the broader crypto landscape.
- Polymarket
- Ondo
- World Liberty Financial (WLFI)
- AIXBT by Virtuals
- Select users of Backed Assets, Dinari, and Swarm X
Anti-Sybil Analysis
The Plume Foundation has performed comprehensive analysis of onchain and offchain data with key partners Trusta and Passport to identify Sybil clusters and to reward users who have engaged in genuine interactions in Plume’s Season 1 Airdrop. Any wallets that have been identified as part of Sybil clusters have been appropriately penalized. In addition, the Plume Foundation has partnered with Forta to provide comprehensive sanctions screening, ensuring that no malicious wallets are able to receive the airdrop.
