Is the Pharos airdrop claim open?
Yes, until 25 October 2026. Pharos opened the PROS claim on 28 April 2026, the day its mainnet went live, and its FAQ gives users "180 days from Apr 28". The guide and the FAQ only say "Oct 25". The claim site's own data sets the cut-off at 11:00 UTC on that day.
What happens next is spelled out in the FAQ: "any unclaimed tokens after the deadline will be returned to the Pharos Foundation. The airdrop website will also be closed."
Pharos calls itself "the fastest EVM-compatible Layer 1 for real-world assets and cross-chain liquidity". PROS is the chain's native coin, with a genesis supply of 1,000,000,000. The airdrop is organised by Pharos Foundation, which its terms describe as a Cayman Islands foundation company.
Who can claim the Pharos airdrop?
The claim page names four groups: testnet participants, "Stake Before the Stake" contributors, Pharos Discord role holders and OKX Wallet campaign users. If you fall into more than one, the page says your total "is automatically consolidated into a single claim."
Pharos hasn't published the criteria behind those groups, such as snapshot dates or minimum activity, and its terms say it has no obligation to. The way to check is to connect your wallet. If you think your eligibility or amount is wrong, the FAQ points to an Appeal Form on the claim site.
You didn't need to register to keep your allocation. Registration ran from 23 to 25 April 2026 and was only for choosing how to claim. The guide says: "If you did not make a selection during the registration phase, you will be automatically enrolled in the Instant Airdrop."
Warning The terms shut out residents of a list of restricted places that includes mainland China, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Myanmar, Iraq, Lebanon and Bangladesh. The FAQ says a visitor with an IP address from a restricted region "will not be able to enter the website", and the terms say that using a VPN to get around the block "may permanently disqualify you". Pharos can change the list without notice, so read it in the terms before you connect.
How to claim the Pharos airdrop
- Open claim.pharos.xyz and check the address in your browser.
Warning The Pharos terms state in capitals that there is only one website for the PROS airdrop, claim.pharos.xyz. They warn of "spoof or copycat websites" built to steal the assets in your wallet.
- Read and accept the airdrop Terms and Conditions.
- Connect the eligible wallet.
- Click Claim to receive your PROS. If you chose a Delay Claim in April, your lock has ended and you claim the same way.
- Do it before 25 October 2026. The FAQ says: "We strongly recommend claiming as early as possible to avoid missing the deadline."

Pharos instant and delayed claims
During registration, users picked either the Instant Airdrop or a Delay Claim that locked the tokens for a larger amount. The guide lists three delays.
- A 30-day lock pays 1.05 times the allocation.
- A 60-day lock pays 1.12 times the allocation.
- A 90-day lock pays 1.2 times the allocation.
The choice became final on 25 April 2026. Counting from the 28 April opening, the three locks ended on 28 May, 27 June and 27 July 2026, so every option can be claimed today.
Warning A delayed claim isn't paid out automatically, and it has the same deadline as an instant one. If you locked for 90 days to get 1.2 times your PROS and don't come back to claim by 25 October, the whole amount returns to the Pharos Foundation.
Pharos claim costs and fees
The FAQ puts the gas fee for claiming at 0.05 PROS and says: "This amount is pre-distributed to your wallet". The guide ties that gas token to the registration step in April. Pharos doesn't say whether wallets that skipped registration received it, so check that your wallet holds a little PROS before you claim.
The terms add that any tax on the tokens is yours to pay.
What happens after the Pharos claim deadline?
Unclaimed PROS goes back to the Pharos Foundation and the claim site closes. We found no announcement of an extension or a second claim window. Its token plan sets aside 6% of supply for community airdrops, of which it says 1% is for launch airdrops and 5% for "future community growth and airdrop incentives", with no dates given.
