Bitlayer Airdrop Guide: How to Claim BTR Token and Participate in Ecological Incentives

On August 26, 2025, Bitlayer officially announced the specific plan for its BTR Token Airdrop. As the first Bitcoin security equivalent Layer 2 solution based on the BitVM paradigm, Bitlayer's move aims to give back to early supporters and ecological contributors.

The airdrop claiming opened on August 27th at 18:00, with each unlocking period lasting 1 month. This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the qualification requirements, claiming steps, and participation strategies for the Bitlayer airdrop.

Airdrop Distribution and Eligibility Criteria

The Bitlayer airdrop plan will allocate 10% of its total BTR supply for ecosystem incentives, with 2.66% designated for Binance Booster and Pre-TGE participants. This indicates that the project team is committed to rewarding a wide range of community contributors and event participants.

The following are the main groups that can participate in this airdrop:

• Bitlayer ecosystem participants: including holders of BTR, Bitlayer Gems, and Bitlayer Points recorded in the Bitlayer Racer Center, as well as participants in the Bitlayer Super Racer Draw and various community activities.
• Partner activity participants: including users participating in collaborative ecosystem activities with Bitlayer, Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, imToken, GoPlus, RollX, Momentum Odyssey, Plume, Desyn, DeAgentAI, etc.
• Specific program members: including participants of the "Anti-Carpet Warrior" program, community ambassadors and partners registered during previous events.

How to Claim BTR Airdrop on Gate Platform

Gate Alpha launched a limited-time BTR Airdrop event from August 27, 2025, 19:00 to August 28, 19:00 (UTC+8).

Eligible users (holding ≥ 125 Gate Alpha points) can consume 12 points to receive a reward of 60 BTR, which will be credited to the Alpha account approximately 1 hour after successful claim.

Please note: If you do not actively claim within the specified time, it will be regarded as an automatic waiver of qualification. At the same time, the airdrop tokens may not yet be open for on-chain trading, and users will need to wait until they go live before they can trade freely.

Bitlayer Project Background and Investment Value

Bitlayer is a groundbreaking Bitcoin Layer 2 solution built on the BitVM paradigm, aimed at enhancing Bitcoin's scalability without compromising its high level of security.

The project has completed a financing of 30 million USD, with a luxurious lineup of investors, including well-known institutions such as Polychain Capital, Franklin Templeton, Framework, ABCDE, StarkWare, and Alliance.

The core goal of Bitlayer is to develop a trust-minimized BitVM bridge, a yield-bearing asset called YBTC, and a high-throughput Bitcoin Rollup, thereby enhancing the practicality, speed, and composability of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Airdrop Claim Steps and Attribution Timeline

The process of receiving the BTR Airdrop is relatively straightforward:

1. Connect Wallet: Visit the official Bitlayer Airdrop page or related platforms (such as Gate Alpha).
2. Eligibility Verification: The system will automatically check if your address meets the criteria.
3. Claim Token: Follow the instructions to complete the claiming process.

It is important to note that different types of rewards have different attribution timelines:

• Super Racer Lottery and Community Event Rewards: Fully unlocked during the Token Generation Event (TGE).
• Bitlayer Racer Center Rewards (including Bitlayer Gems and Points): 80% unlocked at TGE, 10% unlocked six months after TGE, and the remaining 10% unlocked twelve months after TGE.
• Partner and ecosystem activity rewards: Same as above, 80% unlock at TGE, 10% unlock after six months, and 10% unlock after twelve months.

Participation Strategy and Risk Warning

When participating in Airdrop activities, the following points need to be particularly noted:

• Gas fee cost: The Gas fees for interacting with the Bitlayer mainnet are relatively high, sometimes even approaching the levels of the Ethereum mainnet. It is recommended to modify the network fees during interactions and choose the "slow" option to reduce costs.
• Compliance and Security: Be sure to participate in airdrops through official channels and beware of phishing websites. Participating in activities on platforms like Gate requires completing KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.
• Valuation: The price of Airdrop Tokens may fluctuate. BTR is currently deployed on the BNB Chain, with the contract address being 0xfed13D0c40790220fbdE712987079Eda1Ed75C51. For the latest price of BTR on Gate, make sure to check the real-time data on the Gate platform for September 1, 2025.

Future Outlook

The Bitlayer airdrop is not only a reward for its early community but also a key step in building a prosperous Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem.

Whether through official channels or cooperative platforms like Gate, eligible participants should take action promptly and seize the opportunity. With the further implementation and application of BitVM technology, Bitlayer and its ecosystem participants are expected to play a significant role in the development of Bitcoin Layer 2.
