KOR Protocol airdrop guide

Is there a KOR Protocol airdrop?

Yes, and it has finished. The KOR Foundation opened airdrop registration at airdrop.korprotocol.foundation on 29 October 2026 and closed it at 14:00 UTC on 2 November 2026. The KOR token started trading on 4 November 2026, and the claim for registered wallets opened the same day.

CoinGabbar and Bittime, both citing the Foundation’s post on X, reported that the claim closed at 14:00 UTC on 9 November 2026. Only wallets registered before 2 November could claim, so anyone arriving now has missed both steps. KOR Protocol hasn’t published its eligibility formula, the number of eligible wallets or the size of individual allocations.

Bitrue reported on 30 October 2026 that registration targeted wallets with earlier KOR activity and included a proof-of-humanity check through Very Authenticator. KOR Protocol’s X account had listed the “$KOR token” among confirmed airdrops in April 2025.

CryptoRank’s reward date of 4 November 2026 is the day of the token launch. KOR Protocol hasn’t announced a second round.

What KOR Protocol is

KOR Protocol describes itself as an onchain clearinghouse for creative assets, built on Base. Its docs split the work into three parts. Verify records a work’s origin, ownership and clearance status. Route sends verified work to labels, brands and platforms through software agents and is still in development. Settle pays participants in stablecoins with automatic splits.

The protocol has five apps: KORUS for music remixing, VRSNS for video generation, Pacer, an AI operating system for music, Streamline for creators in video and visual art, and KOR Hubs for fan subscriptions and gated community content. KOR ID went live on Base on 29 July 2026. It is a soulbound username, and KOR Protocol says it unlocks all five apps and links every deal to one verified identity.

The KOR token has a total supply of 10 billion on Base, and 22.87% circulated at launch, according to the tokenomics CoinGabbar reported on 3 November 2026. Community access, the share closest to an airdrop, is 4% (400 million KOR). Investors hold 22.38% and the team 15%, both behind a 12-month cliff. KOR trades on Kraken, KuCoin, Gate, Bybit, Bitget and MEXC, among other exchanges.

KOR Protocol airdrop step-by-step guide

The registration and the claim are closed, so these steps cover what was still open on 9 November 2026.

1. Set up an EVM wallet and add a small amount of ETH on Base to pay for gas.

2. Open the KOR ID mint page, connect the wallet, pick a username and mint your KOR ID.

   Warning KOR ID is soulbound, so it stays in the wallet that minted it and can’t be sold. KOR Protocol hasn’t tied any token reward to it. Use only korprotocol.io pages, and no real project asks for your seed phrase.

3. Use the KOR ID to sign in to KOR Protocol’s apps, such as KORUS or Pacer. KOR Protocol hasn’t announced points or rewards for app activity.

4. Follow @KorProtocol and @KorFND on X. The KOR Foundation account announced the token launch and the claim.

5. To earn KOR on an exchange, Gate runs a KOR Launchpool until 14:00 UTC on 4 December 2026. You stake KOR (at least 1), GT (at least 100) or USDT (at least 5,000) and receive KOR every hour.

   Warning Gate requires identity verification and excludes the UK and other restricted locations. Buying KOR to stake exposes you to its price.

KOR Protocol costs and fees

KOR Protocol hasn’t published a price for minting a KOR ID. Bitrue’s guide says the mint may need a small amount of ETH on Base for network gas, and we found no deposit or subscription step. CryptoRank’s estimate of $10 and 30 minutes is a general figure it shows for many campaigns.

Gate’s announcement lists no fee for the Launchpool. Each pool has a minimum stake, though, and that money stays on the exchange for as long as you take part.

KOR Protocol risks and eligibility

The airdrop was limited to wallets registered before 14:00 UTC on 2 November 2026. KOR Protocol hasn’t said what happens to tokens that weren’t claimed by 9 November. Treat any site or message that offers a KOR claim now as phishing, since the Foundation used only airdrop.korprotocol.foundation and that window has closed.

The token fell sharply after launch. CryptoRank showed KOR at about $0.00099 on 9 November 2026, roughly 95% below the first-day listing price CoinGabbar reported. A holder analysis posted on KuCoin’s news page on 5 November said the ten largest addresses held about 90% of supply, including the locked investor and team wallets. Their 12-month cliffs end around November 2027.

The KOR contract on Base is 0xD3679306360705ba3580BC4130b56460FB4e6926, as listed by CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. Check it before you buy or add the token to a wallet. KOR Protocol hasn’t named any restricted countries.

Who is behind KOR Protocol?

Ritty Quin is KOR Protocol’s CEO. The company’s Series A release of 7 July 2026 says he was appointed late in 2025, and Pulse 2.0 reported that he holds a PhD from UCL, began his career at ByteDance and produces electronic music. Inder Phull was co-founder and CEO in July 2025, according to Camp Network’s announcement that month. In 2024 Animoca Brands named him CEO of Pixelynx, one of KOR Protocol’s launch partners.

KOR Protocol is based in London. On 7 July 2026 it announced a $7.5 million Series A at a $100 million valuation. The Block named 1kx and Blockchain Capital as investors, and Pulse 2.0 listed Republic Crypto, Sfermion, Animoca Brands, Solana, Avalanche, Alumni Ventures and SevenX as existing backers that took part. CryptoRank lists $7.50 million raised in total.

In July 2025 Camp Network, an IP-focused layer 1 blockchain, bought a stake of undisclosed size in KOR Protocol. That announcement put KOR Protocol’s previous valuation at $80 million. The KOR Foundation introduced the KOR token on X on 26 October 2026. We found no published security audit for the KOR token contract.
