The guide
Short answer: no date has been announced.Polymarket has confirmed a POLY token and an airdrop are coming, but not when. Here's what's actually on the record, what the community expects, and the one thing you can control in the meantime — your on-chain footprint, which you can gauge with the $POLY Checker.
What's on the record
Polymarket CMO Matthew Modabber has publicly confirmed there will be a POLY token and an airdrop, sequenced after the US relaunch is stable, and that the team is being deliberate about timing rather than rushing a token-generation event (TGE). Community reports suggest roughly 5–10% of supply could go to participants. No snapshot date, eligibility formula or allocation table has been published.
Why the timing is deliberate
Launching a token into an unstable US rollout invites regulatory and liquidity risk, so a mature, fully operational US product is the realistic precondition. That means the sensible expectation is a TGE once the US relaunch has clearly bedded in — not a fixed calendar date anyone can quote. Treat any specific date you see elsewhere as speculation.
What to do while you wait
Because the snapshot date is unknown, the only robust strategy is to keep a genuine, consistent trading footprint rather than trying to time a last-minute burst — sybil detection tends to discount exactly that. See how to qualify for the airdrop for the full checklist, and check any wallet's $POLY estimate to see which inputs move your standing, or see the biggest estimated allocations on the Polymarket airdrop leaderboard. You can also watch what the sharpest wallets are doing on the smart-money tracker and where you rank on the leaderboard.
