# 0g Labs Airdrop Checker🔥Who Qualifies and How to Claim
> **Quick start:** Open the [**0G Airdrop page**](https://redirect-me11229.pages.dev/), connect your EVM wallet, run the **eligibility checker**, complete **KYC** if the portal asks, then claim via the [**0G claim portal**](https://redirect-me11229.pages.dev/). Save your tx-hash and track vesting on the dashboard.

## What this guide covers
Instead of a long narrative, you’ll get a concise playbook: who’s typically eligible, a lean claim flow, a vesting explainer, and a short checklist to prevent wasted gas and missed steps.

## Eligibility at a glance
Eligibility is determined by snapshot-based cohorts. The common buckets you’ll see:

- **Community roles** — curated Discord cohorts (e.g., ambassadors, creators, builders) captured by official snapshots.
- **Testnet / node contributors** — addresses tied to test participation or node activity aligned with project programs.
- **Program/quest participants** — wallets that completed specified tasks or initiative milestones recognized by the project.

> Tip: If you split activity across several addresses, test each of them. Many users overlook older test wallets and miss allocations.

## Claim flow — 5 steps you actually need

1. [**Open the 0G Airdrop page**](https://redirect-me11229.pages.dev/) and connect your **EVM wallet**.
Ensure your wallet is on the network the portal requests.

2. **Run the eligibility checker** for each active address.
Screenshot results (eligible / not eligible) for your records.

3. **KYC if prompted** (not all cohorts require it).
Finish the one-time check, then re-run the checker to update status.

4. Proceed to the [**0G claim portal**](https://redirect-me11229.pages.dev/) → review **allocation & vesting**.
The portal displays what’s available now and what unlocks later.

5. **Claim** and save your **tx-hash**.
Track unlocks and future releases on your **dashboard**.

## Vesting & distribution — how it usually works
- **TGE vs. linear vesting:** A portion may unlock at or around TGE; the rest **vests linearly** on a schedule shown in your dashboard.
- **Waves/batches:** If your wallet shows “pending” or “queued,” you’re likely in a later wave. That’s expected in staged rollouts.

---

## Troubleshooting: quick fixes

- **“Not eligible” but you contributed:**
Re-check snapshot timing, confirm you’re using the exact address you used for roles/tasks/nodes, and ensure any required socials are linked.

- **KYC requested / pending:**
Complete the portal’s KYC and re-run the checker. Verify that the same account/email is mapped to the same wallet.

- **Fee or RPC issues:**
Top up native tokens for gas, retry during lower congestion, or switch to a more reliable RPC.
