Complete Guide to Arbitrum Airdrop: How to Claim ARB in One Minute

What is the Arbitrum Airdrop?

In March 2025, Arbitrum officially announced an airdrop of its governance token, ARB, to the community. This is a big deal—ARB holders will be able to vote and decide the future of both Arbitrum One and Arbitrum Nova. Simply put, if you get ARB, you get a say.

Why is this a hot airdrop?

Three reasons are making everyone FOMO hard:

1. Arbitrum is the top dog in Layer2

• Total value locked is $3.9 billion, with a 55% market share—undisputed No.1
• Its position in the crypto ecosystem is comparable to Apple or Tesla in tech

2. Severe supply shortage

• Initial total supply is only 10 billion tokens
• Annual inflation rate capped at 2%
• This means scarcity increases value

3. Retail allocation is tiny

• Take a close look at this distribution chart:
  • DAO Treasury: 42.78% (4.278 billion tokens)
  • Team + Investors: 44.47% (4.447 billion tokens)
  • User Airdrop: only 11.62% (1.162 billion tokens)
  • Others: 1.13%

In other words, regular users get the smallest slice of the pie. Many see this airdrop as a “get rich overnight” opportunity.

Who can get ARB?

The key metric: Snapshot Score

The system scores your on-chain behavior:

Scoring factors include:

• Whether you made transfers on Arbitrum
• Activity duration (active for 2 months, 6 months, or 9 months)
• Transaction frequency (4, 10, 25, or 100+ transactions)
• Transaction volume (over 10,000, 50,000, or 250,000 USDT)
• Amount of liquidity provided
• Activity on Arbitrum Nova

Score Table:

The higher your score, the more you get.

How to claim?

Three steps:

1. Go to the Arbitrum official website and click “Connect Wallet”
2. Select your wallet (supports Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, WalletConnect, Trust Wallet, Ledger Live)
3. If you’re eligible, your airdrop amount will appear on the left, and your on-chain activity record will be shown on the right

What does this mean for Gate users?

Two pieces of good news:

1. ARB listing soon — On March 23, the ARB/USDT trading pair will officially open
2. Extra rewards — If you receive ARB and deposit ARB worth 50 USDT or more into Gate, you can get a free 5,000 MX reward. The more you deposit, the more MX you get

In short, this airdrop is still hot. Eligible users should keep an eye on the timeline—don’t miss out!
