Last updated: 11/12/2025

  1. What is KuCoin HODLer Airdrops?

KuCoin HODLer Airdrops is a program that rewards KuCoin holders with token airdrops based on historical snapshots of their balances. By holding KCS or the specified tokens, users are automatically eligible for HODLer Airdrops. Unlike other earning methods that require ongoing actions, HODLer Airdrops rewards users retroactively, offering a simple way to earn the airdrops.

To participate, simply hold the required tokens in your KuCoin account during the designated snapshot period. To be eligible for the airedrop, users must:
1) Complete Identity Verification (KYC or KYB);
2) Reside in a region not restricted by compliance regulations.
     
KuCoin reserves the right to disqualify users found engaging in fraud, manipulation, or multi-account abuse.
