$KERNEL Season 3 Airdrop is live.

This blog summarises the key information for participants: eligibility criteria, how we’re addressing Sybil attacks, and instructions for claiming.

Eligibility & distribution

• Eligibility requirement: 500 or more Kernel Points

• Allocation: proportional to each qualified wallet’s point total

The higher threshold focuses rewards on users who were consistently active during Season 3.

Sybil-resistance measures

Our goal remains to distribute tokens to real participants rather than automated or duplicated accounts. 

We continue to use the two‑step process introduced in the previous season: an onchain clustering analysis to flag wallets that appear to be controlled by the same entity, and an exclusion rule for accounts that withdraw most of their stake (over 90%). 

This process keeps rewards in the hands of genuine participants and filters out wallets showing coordinated or automated activity.

Claim process

Claims will open on Tuesday, 28th October at 2:30 pm UTC. 

Once live, visit the official claim page and connect your wallet to view and collect your allocation.

Use only links distributed through KernelDAO’s verified channels and do not share your private keys.

Didn’t qualify? Season 4 is underway

If you aren’t eligible for the Season 3 $KERNEL airdrop, Season 4 is already in progress and will run until February 2026. 

You can still earn Kernel Points by participating in KernelDAO’s products.

Closing note

Thank you to all participants who qualified. Your engagement drives the project forward. 

Stay updated through official channels for announcements about claims and future seasons.

The next distribution cycle will be based on points earned through February 2026, so there is time to increase your participation.
