Why This Airdrop
Polymarket is distributing 100,000,000 POLY tokens to reward and recognize the users who make the platform valuable. Here is why we are doing it.
- Rewarding active users — Trading activity and liquidity provision create platform value; the airdrop distributes POLY tokens to those who contributed to Polymarket's growth and success.
- Decentralizing governance — Distributing POLY tokens empowers users to participate in protocol governance, ensuring the platform evolves according to community interests rather than centralized control.
- Long-term alignment — Token ownership aligns user incentives with platform success. POLY holders benefit from ecosystem growth through staking rewards, fee sharing, and governance participation.
- Strengthening network effects — Incentivizing continued trading and liquidity provision improves market depth, accuracy, and user retention, creating a sustainable flywheel for the Polymarket ecosystem.
Allocation Formula
Your share of the 100,000,000 POLY pool is determined by a weighted score. Only wallets with Polymarket activity before the snapshot date are eligible.
User score is the sum of four normalized components:
- Trading volume (40%) — Total USDC volume (buys and sells) on Polymarket in the period before the snapshot.
- Markets participated (25%) — Number of unique markets where you had at least one trade.
- Accuracy / performance (20%) — Share of resolved positions where your outcome was correct (or simplified: profit factor / PnL).
- Tenure & consistency (15%) — How long you have been active and how regularly (e.g. months with at least one trade).
The formula:
User_Share = (User_Score / Sum_Of_All_User_Scores) × 100,000,000 POLY
If your calculated share is below the minimum payout (e.g. 1 POLY), no payment is made; any remainder is redistributed or returned to the pool. Snapshot date and exact eligibility criteria are published on official channels.

What is Polymarket?
Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform, running on Polygon and using USDC. You trade on future events across politics, sports, crypto, science, and more. This airdrop rewards active users of that platform with USDC on Polygon.
How It Works
- Buy and sell shares representing outcomes (e.g. "Will BTC reach $100K this year?").
- Shares are priced between $0.00 and $1.00 USDC; prices equal probabilities.
- Each YES + NO pair is collateralized by $1.00 USDC. Correct outcomes pay out $1.00 USDC per share at resolution.
- You can sell shares anytime before resolution. The counterparty is another user — there is no "house."
