01 · the report

Your Polymarket airdrop eligibility score

One page, one wallet, three numbers: an absolute score, a population percentile, and a farmer risk read. Every input is public on-chain data. Paste a wallet above and press Analyze — the full report renders right here, nothing is stored or shared until you share it.

!

Polymarket has not announced airdrop criteria. Nobody knows the formula — anyone claiming otherwise is guessing or lying. This score is modelled on 15 historical airdrops and on Polymarket's own published Taker Rebate weighting formula. It is an estimate of wallet quality, not a prediction of allocation.

Read-only. We never ask you to connect a wallet or sign anything. Any site that does is a drainer. OrcaLayer lives only at orcalayer.com — no airdrop bot, no Telegram claim link, no other domain.

Polymarket airdrop eligibility criteria: how the score is built

Published in full, because a checker that hides its formula is indistinguishable from a scam. Weights derived from Uniswap, dYdX, Arbitrum, Optimism, Hyperliquid, Blur, Jito, Jupiter, Drift, LayerZero, EigenLayer and four others.

The arithmetic is exact. The model is a guess. Change the weights and this number moves; the percentile does not. The uncertainty lives in the weights.

These weights come from a taker rebate programme — a liquidity incentive, not an airdrop formula. The programme is taker-only and has existed since 28 May 2026; we apply its weighting to history going back to 2022 because it is the only document in which Polymarket has stated how it values a trade. Weights outside Sports, Crypto and Geopolitics are not published and default to 1.0. Treat it as the best available proxy, not as the announced formula. Note: US-election markets sit in POLITICS, not GEOPOLITICS — the zero weight does not erase the 2024 election cohort.

Deliberately excluded

Raw PnL
Only 2 of 15 airdrops used profitability, and for good reason: it is trivially manufactured by taking both sides across your own addresses. We use PnL as a fraud signal, not a reward.
Linear volume
dYdX gave 30× the allocation for 1000× the volume. Any checker multiplying your volume by a fixed number of tokens is wrong by orders of magnitude.
Recency
The score does not decay when a wallet stops trading. A wallet that was highly active in 2024 and has been dormant since still ranks on what it did. That is deliberate: most historical airdrops scored the whole lookback window rather than the last few weeks, and we do not know what window Polymarket would use. Check the LAST TRADE date above — it is part of the read.

Blind spots we cannot see

Referrals
Polymarket's referral graph is off-chain. It carried real weight at Hyperliquid (1:4) and Grass (20%).
Linked accounts
A Polymarket employee mentioned “link your accounts” in May 2026. Nothing on-chain reflects that.
Shared funding sourcesNOT CHECKED
We do not index USDC transfers, so funding-graph clustering is not run. The result panel says so instead of showing a hollow CLEAN.
Geography / KYC
dYdX excluded US wallets entirely. This could dominate everything else.

The same detector powers Farmer Filter, which removes ~114,000 farmed wallets from every OrcaLayer leaderboard.

03 · date status

When is the Polymarket airdrop? Snapshot and date status

No date exists. No snapshot has been announced, and the only statement on record about a snapshot is a single-source May 2026 remark that one had not yetbeen taken. The strongest confirmed facts are verbal: Polymarket's CMO said in October 2025 that “there will be a token, there will be an airdrop”, and the POLY trademarks were filed in February 2026. Everything else — TGE date, tokenomics, supply share, eligibility criteria, US eligibility — is unknown. As of May 2026, prediction markets priced a 2026 launch at roughly 53%, down from ~71% in February. The tracker below is the maintained log of what is actually confirmed, with sources.

Active scam warning. As of August 2026, market.polydistrib[.]com is running a "Polymarket Community Rewards" page with fake "Official Polymarket" badges and a "Check my eligibility" button that drains wallets. Polymarket users lost roughly $2.9M to phishing in June 2026. No claim page exists. OrcaLayer will never ask you to connect a wallet or sign a message on this page.

06 · what history rewarded

How to farm the Polymarket airdrop — and what history actually rewarded

Every airdrop breeds a farming industry, and every major programme since 2023 has hunted it. What history rewarded was never the farming checklist — it was the behaviour farmers found most expensive to fake.

Arbitrum
Weighted months of distinct activity and doubled pre-Nitro history.
Blur
Paid for resting bids that stayed near the mid through volatility.
EigenLayer
Took capital-at-risk linearly, so splitting a stack across wallets gained nothing.
LayerZero
Cut allocations matching sybil shapes to zero for 803,093 addresses.
Jupiter
Excluded dust-sized interactions entirely.

The common thread: time in market, capital genuinely at risk, and organic breadth beat transaction-count grinding in every single programme we studied. Polymarket's own published weighting — size × (1 − entry price) × category weight — already prices near-certain fills at almost nothing, which is precisely the trade farmers make most.

When Polymarket publishes real criteria

We send one email: the criteria in plain text, plus the distribution breakdown — who got what, what share of wallets got zero, which cohorts were cut. Plus your wallet rescored against the real formula. If an official programme flags your wallet, this page is your evidence trail.

Polymarket airdrop FAQ

Is the Polymarket airdrop confirmed?+

A token and an airdrop were confirmed verbally by Polymarket's CMO in October 2025, and the company filed trademarks for POLY in February 2026. No snapshot date, no criteria, no tokenomics have ever been published. As of May 2026, prediction markets priced a 2026 token launch at roughly 53% — down from ~71% in February.

Can this tool tell me how many POLY I will get?+

No, and neither can any other tool. Nobody outside Polymarket knows the formula. Any site quoting you a token amount is multiplying your volume by a number they invented. This page scores wallet quality against what actually decided 15 past airdrops.

Do I need to connect my wallet?+

Never. You paste a public address; everything is computed from public on-chain data. If any site asks you to connect a wallet or sign a message to “check eligibility”, it is stealing your funds.

What is the Sybil risk score?+

It estimates how much your wallet resembles the patterns that got addresses excluded from past airdrops: activity compressed into a short window, trades at near-certain prices, dust-sized fills and self-matching. Funding-graph analysis is NOT checked — we say so on the result instead of pretending. High volume with high sybil risk historically scored worse than modest volume with clean behaviour.

Why does my huge volume not give a huge score?+

Because that is not how airdrops work. dYdX gave 30× more tokens for 1000× more volume. Arbitrum capped the whole thing at 15 points, of which volume could earn at most 6. Volume compressed logarithmically is the historically accurate model.

Is OrcaLayer affiliated with Polymarket?+

No. OrcaLayer is an independent analytics platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for Polymarket, and we have no inside information about any token.

Why does this show no trades for my MetaMask address?+

Polymarket trades through a proxy wallet it creates for you, not through the address you connect with. Open your Polymarket profile — the address in the URL is the one to paste here. You can also search by your Polymarket username.

Can I check by Polymarket username instead of a 0x address?+

Yes — type the username and pick the wallet from the dropdown. We resolve display names and pseudonyms across our whale index, which most checkers cannot.

Is there a Polymarket points program?+

No. Polymarket has never run an official points programme. Articles describing “×2 for a 72-hour hold” are fabricated.
