About The Project
Aptos is a Layer 1 blockchain built with the Move language. The details here come from the foundation's airdrop announcement and The Block's earlier coverage.
Third-party guides that mention DeFi use or Petra wallet claims do not match the official notice.
Why This Airdrop Matters
The official page names two groups. People who applied for the Aptos Incentivized Testnet received 300 tokens, and those who minted an APTOS:ZERO testnet NFT received 150. For the NFT group, the original minter qualified, not the later owner, so buying the NFT afterwards did not count.
Exclusions were clear: accounts with more than 20 connected wallets, or with an IP address shared by more than 20 other accounts, were removed, along with sanctioned users, residents of sanctioned places, and foundation and Labs staff and their families.
The official total was 23,454,750 APT to 124,828 participants. Earlier press coverage said 20.1 million APT to 110,235 addresses, so the later official figures are the better ones. Eligible users were to be emailed from airdrop@aptosfoundation.org, and the tokens could be claimed only via the official Aptos community page.
This was a one-time retroactive distribution, and it rewarded testers more than traders. The fixed amounts of 300 and 150 are unusually simple, which made the programme predictable but did not scale rewards with effort.
Because no ongoing programme exists, any page promising a new "Aptos airdrop" for a particular action should be checked against the foundation's own announcements.
Compared with later drops, the Aptos distribution was small and simple. Two fixed amounts, a short list of exclusions and an emailed notice made it easy to administer, though it also meant that heavy testers received the same as light ones. Treat it as history, not as a model for what future programmes will offer.
Anyone wanting to verify these figures can compare the foundation's page with The Block's earlier report and note the difference in totals.
