About The Project

Aligned builds infrastructure for verifying zero-knowledge proofs on Ethereum. Its Proof Verification Layer is in mainnet beta, and a Proof Aggregation Service that batches several proofs to cut verification costs is in mainnet alpha. The token ticker is ALIGN, not ALN as an earlier version of this page said.

Decrypt reported that Aligned launched ALIGN, the native token of its full Ethereum stack.

Why This Airdrop Matters

Size and shape of the drop

Total supply is 10 billion ALIGN, and the initial circulating supply was about 16% at the token generation event. A tokenomics revision in April 2026 set the airdrop at 8.74% of supply, lower than earlier allocations. The Defiant covered the airdrop details before the launch date was known.

Who was eligible

The original drop, announced in December 2024, listed 986,843 eligible addresses, but more than 160,000 wallets signed up before registration closed, so a large share of eligible people never claimed. That is typical of airdrops that require action.

Unlock terms

One source says allocations of 10,000 ALIGN or less were fully unlocked at TGE. Above that, 10,000 tokens unlocked at TGE and the remainder vests linearly over 12 months. Sources differ on the vesting specifics, so check the official airdrop checker before acting.

What happened to the price

A CoinMarketCap summary, which looks machine-generated, says ALIGN debuted on seven major exchanges, including Coinbase and Kraken, and fell by up to 44% as recipients sold when liquidity opened. The pattern is common: a large share of small holders sell immediately.

One further point on process: registration-based airdrops like this one lose a large share of eligible people because the steps are easy to miss. If a project you use announces a similar sign-up, put the deadline in your calendar the same day, and use only the official page to register. A missed window is rarely reopened, and the claims made afterwards by sites offering late access are almost always scams.

Participation Guide

If you registered, use the official checker at the project's community site to see your allocation and vesting schedule, and do not use third-party checkers, since fake checkers are a favourite way to steal wallet access. Decide in advance whether you plan to sell or hold, because the first days after an airdrop are the most volatile. Remember that Journal du Coin's piece on the airdrop is sponsored content.
