Inferium ($IFR) Airdrop Claim: How to Check Eligibility
The Inferium ($IFR) ecosystem has officially enabled the claim portal for its Phase 1 airdrop. As a decentralized AI infrastructure hub on Base, Inferium uses a "Proof of Inference" model to reward users who contribute compute power or verify AI model accuracy.
"With the $IFR token now live, the Phase 1 distribution focuses on active node operators and 'Inferno Points' earners. If your allocation is 0, ensure you meet the 2026 'Honest Activity' filters designed to exclude sybil clusters."
Why Is Your Allocation 0?
Critical Filtering Criteria:
- Snapshot Timing: Activity performed after the October 2025 cutoff was not recorded for this specific distribution phase.
- Verification Failure: Accounts that failed to link and verify a valid email address to their Base wallet within the "Earn Inferno" dashboard.
- Inference Threshold: A minimum requirement of 10 successful AI model queries or 1 verified model upload was mandatory for eligibility.
- IP Clustering: Security flags were triggered for multiple wallets interacting with the protocol from a single IP address.
Step-by-Step: How to Claim $IFR
- Visit the official Inferium Portal.
- Connect your wallet (MetaMask, OKX, or Coinbase Wallet) to the Base Mainnet.
- Check your Confirmed Allocation and sign the claim transaction.
🛠️ Troubleshooting Your Claim
1. Site Not Loading or Spinner Hanging?
The Inferium indexer experiences extremely high traffic during claim windows. If the "Check" button doesn't respond, try switching your wallet's RPC provider for the Base network or clearing your browser cache.
2. "Ineligible" Message Despite Activity?
Verify you are using the exact wallet address linked to your "Earn Inferno" account. Many users accidentally connect secondary wallets that were not registered during the MVP phase.
3. Gas Fee Issues
You must have a small amount of ETH on Base (usually $1–$3) to pay for the claim transaction. If you have ETH on Ethereum Mainnet, you will need to bridge it to Base before you can claim.
