The Berachain Airdrop is live, and if you’re eligible, you don’t want to leave free BERA tokens on the table. But how do you check? When’s the deadline? And where do you claim? This guide breaks down everything you need to know, step-by-step.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
➜ If your wallet was connected during Genesis, BERA tokens may have been auto-credited. If not, check eligibility on the Airdrop Checker and claim on the Airdrop Claim Portal.
➜ Eligible users include testnet participants, Bong Bears NFT holders, and Binance BNB subscribers. NFT holders must bridge their NFTs to Berachain before claiming.
➜ Berachain has not announced future airdrops but allocated 13.1% of BERA for incentives. Staying active in testnets, NFTs, and community activities may help in future distributions.
How to claim the Berachain airdrop?
If your wallet was connected during this Genesis event and you’re eligible, you might have received an automatic allocation. To confirm, check your wallet balance for any BERA tokens.
If not, here is a quick summary of the steps you need to follow to claim the $BERA airdrop:
- Check if you’re eligible on the Berachain Airdrop Checker.
- Connect your wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any EVM-compatible wallet).
- Verify your eligibility based on testnet participation, NFT holdings, or community engagement.
- Go to the Airdrop Claim Portal at airdrop.berachain.com.
- Claim your BERA tokens by following the on-screen instructions.
- Confirm the transaction (a small gas fee may apply).
- Verify that BERA tokens are in your wallet by adding the contract address manually if needed.
Note: 15.8% of Berachain’s total token supply, equating to 79 million BERA tokens, is allocated for the airdrop.
Here’s each step in a little more detail.
1. Check eligibility
To begin, go to the official Berachain Airdrop Checker page and enter your wallet address. If you qualify based on testnet participation, NFT ownership, social engagement, or RFB contributions, your eligibility details will be displayed.
2. Connect wallet
Use MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any EVM-compatible wallet to connect to the checker page. If you’re claiming via NFT holdings, you must use the wallet containing your eligible NFTs to verify ownership.
If you’re an RFB contributor, ensure the wallet you’re using is the same one linked to your project submission.
Did you know? If you’re claiming BERA tokens via NFT holdings, you need to bridge your NFTs to the Berachain mainnet before claiming. This ensures your NFTs are recognized on Berachain’s network, allowing you to access your airdrop allocation. The claim is tied to the NFT itself, meaning if you transfer or sell it after bridging, the new owner will be able to claim any unclaimed tokens. Make sure to check your eligibility and use the Berachain NFT Bridge before heading to the claim portal.
3. Head to the airdrop claim portal and claim
If your BERA tokens were not automatically credited during the Genesis event of Berachain’s mainnet launch, you need to claim them manually. To do this, head over to the Berachain Airdrop Claim Portal (for NFT-based claims) and connect your MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any EVM-compatible wallet.
Once connected, click “Claim” and follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.
Note: Your wallet will prompt a transaction approval, which may require a small gas fee in BNB or another accepted token.
Once the process is complete, check your wallet to verify that your BERA tokens have been credited. If they don’t appear, manually add the BERA token contract address from Berachain’s official documentation.
And that summarizes the claiming process! Below are the dates you need to be aware of.

Request for Broposal (RFB) participants
If you participated in Berachain’s RFB program, either as a community contributor or DApp team, you may have a token allocation. Check if your project made the cut by verifying your wallet on the airdrop checker.
Boyco program participants
Depositors in Berachain’s Boyco launch program are also on the eligibility list. The more you deposited and the longer you locked up, the bigger your allocation.
Binance BNB holders

Strategic partners
Certain projects that helped build Berachain’s infrastructure, like Morpho and Balancer, are also receiving allocations. If your project contributed to Berachain’s development, you should check if you’re on the list.

1. Dive into testnets

3. Engage with the community

Berachain has not officially announced any plans for future airdrops beyond the initial distribution detailed in its airdrop overview.

How to steer clear of Berachain airdrop scams?
Airdrops can be enticing. Yet, they also attract scammers. And if you are not careful, you might just end up claiming system malware instead of $BERA. Here are some key steps you can take in order to stay safe:
- Only use the official links highlighted throughout this piece.
- Never share your seed phrase and/or private key with anyone, regardless of the motivation.
- Always verify token contract addresses as if $BERA doesn’t appear automatically in your wallet; you might need to manually add the contract address.
- Beware of fake support accounts.
And finally, if it looks suspicious, it probably is.
Is hype around the Berachain airdrop justified?
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations — you know how to claim your BERA tokens and why they matter. But are they worth holding? Berachain’s proof-of-liquidity model rewards active liquidity providers, meaning BERA could have long-term utility in staking, governance, and ecosystem rewards. Still, do your own research before deciding whether to HODL, stake, or sell. Free tokens are great, but how you use them is what really matters.
