Claiming the Pre-CRV Liquidity Provider Airdrop

Before the CRV token launched in August 2020, early liquidity providers were already supplying assets to Curve pools. To reward these early supporters, a vesting contract was deployed that distributes CRV tokens to eligible addresses. The vesting period has fully ended, meaning all allocated tokens are now immediately claimable.

info

The vesting contract still holds over 11 million CRV in unclaimed tokens. If you provided liquidity to Curve pools before CRV launched (August 2020), you may have tokens waiting for you.

Contract address: 0x575CCD8e2D300e2377B43478339E364000318E2c

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility​

First, check if your address has any CRV to claim.

  1. Go to the contract on Etherscan
  2. Find the balanceOf function (function #4) and enter your wallet address
  3. Click "Query"

If the result is 0, your address is not eligible or has already claimed. If the result is a non-zero number, you have CRV to claim. The value is in wei (18 decimals), so divide by 101810^{18} to get the amount in CRV. For example, 1000000000000000000 = 1 CRV.

tip

You can also check initial_locked to see the original amount allocated to your address, and total_claimed to see how much you've already claimed.

Step 2: Claim Your CRV​

Once you've confirmed you have a balance, you can claim your tokens.

  1. Go to the contract's Write tab on Etherscan
  2. Click "Connect Wallet" and connect the eligible wallet
  3. Find the claim function (function #6, the one with no inputs)
  4. Click "Write"
  5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet
  6. Once the transaction confirms, your CRV tokens will be in your wallet
note

Gas fees apply as this is an Ethereum mainnet transaction. Make sure you have enough ETH in your wallet to cover gas costs.

FAQ​

How do I know if I provided liquidity before CRV launched?​

CRV launched on August 13, 2020. If you deposited into any Curve pool before that date, you may be eligible. The easiest way to check is to simply query balanceOf with your address as described in Step 1.

Is there a deadline to claim?​

No. The tokens remain in the contract indefinitely until claimed. There is no expiry.
