SHIELD Airdrop Claim Guide

Complete guide for earning points during testnet and claiming your SHIELD tokens at mainnet launch.

Overview

Shield Finance is distributing 2,000,000 SHIELD tokens to early testnet participants. Your share is determined by the points you accumulate during the testnet phase, multiplied by your tier bonus.

Metric	Value
Total Airdrop Pool	2,000,000 SHIELD
Diamond Tier Multiplier	3.0x
First Deposit Bonus	+100 points
Faucet Claim	+15 points

Your allocation is calculated proportionally based on your weighted points relative to all participants.

Prerequisites

1. Set Up Your Wallet

You need a wallet configured for the Coston2 testnet. We recommend Bifrost Wallet or MetaMask.

Bifrost Wallet (Recommended)

Open Bifrost Wallet and go to Settings
Navigate to Advanced and enable Developer Mode
The app will now show test networks including Coston2

MetaMask - Automatic Setup

Visit the Coston2 Explorer
Click Connect in the top right corner
Approve the network addition and click Switch network

MetaMask - Manual Setup

Add the network manually with these details:

Setting	Value

RPC URL	`https://coston2-api.flare.network/ext/C/rpc`
Chain ID	114
Currency Symbol	C2FLR
Block Explorer	`https://coston2-explorer.flare.network`

Step 1: Get Testnet Tokens (Faucet)

Before you can earn points, you need testnet tokens for gas fees and staking.

Faucet URL: faucet.shyield.finance How-to Guide: faucet.shyield.finance/how-to-use

Claim C2FLR (Gas Tokens)

Go to the Faucet page
Enter your wallet address in the C2FLR card
Click “Claim 10 C2FLR” to receive gas tokens
Wait for the transaction to confirm (usually a few seconds)

Claim SHIELD Tokens

Enter your wallet address in the SHIELD card
Keep the “Include me in the testnet airdrop” checkbox enabled
Click “Claim 1,000 SHIELD” to receive test tokens

Add SHIELD to Your Wallet

Paste the contract address above
Token Symbol and Decimals will auto-fill (SHIELD, 18)
Click Import to add the token

Rate Limits

Each wallet can claim tokens once every 12 hours per token type.

Step 2: Earn Points

Points determine your share of the 2M SHIELD airdrop. Here’s how to earn them:

Return to the app and click “Verify Post”
The system will verify your post and award 10 points

Note: You must verify the post to receive points. Simply sharing without verification won’t award points.

Step 3: Tier Progression

Your tier determines your airdrop multiplier. Higher tiers mean more SHIELD tokens!

Tier	Points Required	Multiplier	Badge
Bronze	0+	1.0x	Bronze Tester
Silver	500+	1.5x	Silver Tester
Gold	2,000+	2.0x	Gold OG
Diamond	5,000+	3.0x	Diamond OG

Progression Example

Bronze user with 400 points = 400 × 1.0 = 400 effective points
Silver user with 600 points = 600 × 1.5 = 900 effective points
Diamond user with 6,000 points = 6,000 × 3.0 = 18,000 effective points

Allocation Formula

Your estimated airdrop allocation is calculated as:

Your Allocation = (Your Points × Tier Multiplier) / Total Weighted Points × 2,000,000 SHIELD

The app shows your estimated allocation on the Airdrop page based on current participation levels.
