Latest Update: Genius Season 1 Airdrop Claim Now Live

The Genius Season 1 airdrop claim is live, distributing 70 million $GENIUS tokens through the Genius Foundation. Participants have a 7-day window to make their selection.

1. Visit the claim portal and connect your wallet
2. Review your token allocation and choose one of the following:
   • Early Claim: Receive tokens immediately but forfeit 70% to a permanent burn (100 $GENIUS becomes 30 $GENIUS)
   • 1-Year Lockup: Do nothing and let the window pass to lock your full allocation in a smart contract for one year with no penalty
   • Refund (48h window only): Burn your entire allocation in exchange for net fees paid to Genius Terminal
3. Confirm your selection before the 7-day window closes

For refunds, note that cashback and referral rewards already claimed are deducted from your calculation, and fees paid to underlying DEXs like PancakeSwap aren’t included since Genius never collected those. Refunds arrive within 48 hours, and a dispute form opens one week post-TGE.

How to Farm the Genius Terminal Airdrop

Step 1: Visit the Genius Terminal Platform

Go to the Genius Terminal sign-up page and choose your sign-in method. The platform supports Google, Apple ID, or wallet-based authentication (e.g., MetaMask), secured by Turnkey.com and Lit Protocol.

Step 2: Create Your TraderID

Enter a unique username between 6–20 characters on the “Welcome Genius” screen. This serves as your TraderID and determines your leaderboard position. Click Next to continue.

Step 3: Fund Your Account

Deposit assets into your Genius wallet using one of three methods:

• Transfer: Copy your Genius wallet addresses and send funds from an existing wallet across supported chains
• Buy: On-ramp directly using Coinbase integration or credit/debit cards via Moonpay
• Convert: Move spot balances to Hyperliquid USDC for perpetual trading — gas-free and signature-free, with 1–30 second confirmations

Purchase assets from Binance if needed, or bridge funds using Rhino Bridge to reach your preferred chain.

Step 4: Execute Spot Trades

Start trading on the platform to accumulate weekly GP. Since GP allocation is determined solely by spot trading volume, consistent trading activity is key.

Step 5: Participate in Trading Competitions

Join active trading competitions on the platform to earn additional GP beyond your weekly allocation. Check the competitions tab regularly for new events and prize pools.

Step 6: Refer Other Traders

Share your referral link to earn 35% of the trading fees paid by every user you refer. Referral rewards are paid in cash (not GP) and apply permanently to both existing and future referrals once fees are activated.

Genius Season 2 Points Campaign

Season 2 of the Genius trading competition begins at 12:01AM EST on April 10 and runs through August 10, distributing 200M GP across the four-month period. Notably, Season 1 continues until 10PM EST on April 12, allowing users to earn points from both seasons simultaneously during the overlap window.

The earning structure allocates 1,500,000 GP daily, distributed pro rata based on effective trading volume. Your daily share is calculated as your effective volume divided by total platform volume, multiplied by that day’s allocation. Points are tallied daily but distributed weekly. Transaction count and referrals have no impact on GP earnings—only trading volume matters.

An additional 17,000,000 GP bonus pool will be allocated at the team’s discretion for consistent trading activity, organic behavior, and contributions to platform liquidity quality.

Join Season 2 through the Genius trading platform to start accumulating points.
