The SiaPrime airdrop is occurring as we speak! If you held Siacoins (SC) at block 179000 in a private wallet, you qualify for 1SCP for each 5 SC you held. With over 650k positive addresses in the Sia blockchain, the airdrop process should take ~10 hours to complete.

To retrieve your tokens, download our software and go to the wallet tab. Choose "Load a wallet from a seed" and at the next screen, enter the old Sia seed and hit Confirm. This will search the blockchain for your airdropped tokens and display them as a Confirmed Balance. There is no time limit on when you must claim your tokens though it is good practice to immediately secure your balance and make sure you received the correct amount. Also, in the future, the project software may require a fork for some other purpose that makes retrieving airdrop tokens a little more cumbersome.

Tokens that were locked up as collateral or in contracts are not included in the airdrop.

No exchanges have yet announced support for the fork and we purposely have locked away the token distribution for huge wallets we deemed to belong to exchanges. If you held Siacoin on an exchange at block 179000, you will not receive SCP tokens unless at some future point, the exchange decides to honor the airdrop and distribute tokens. This is a decision to be made by the individual exchanges and you should contact them for further information.

For operational security, it is probably not optimal to use the same seed for two different project wallets. The best strategy is to move your Siacoins into a new seed on the Sia wallet before retrieving your SiaPrime tokens in our wallet.

The airdrop sends tokens to addresses with a positive balance at the fork. Because of this, any given wallet may qualify for multiple sends. Please wait until we announce the airdrop is concluded before questioning your airdrop total received
