NEAR Airdrop: NEAR@3.33 Allocations Are Live

 

The first NEAR@3.33 milestone has progressed from qualification into the reward-allocation stage. Eligible participants are now seeing their individual NEAR rewards directly inside near.com.

The AirdropBuzz Team participated in the campaign and our account now shows an allocation of 4.220037 NEAR. This gives us direct confirmation that eligible user allocations are being calculated and displayed.

Importantly, an allocation is not the same as receiving liquid NEAR in your wallet. Our near.com dashboard states:

Your NEAR will be deposited automatically when the program's price condition is met. No action needed.

This means eligible users whose reward is already displayed do not currently need to press a claim button, connect to another website, or pay an unlocking fee.

The dashboard also states that the next phase of NEAR@X is coming. Exact eligibility requirements, reward pool and timing for the next phase have not yet been announced, so users should wait for official NEAR information before assuming that the same Drop 1 rules will apply again.

Is the NEAR Protocol Airdrop Confirmed?

Yes. NEAR@3.33 is now well beyond the potential-airdrop stage.

The first milestone campaign allocated a pool of 333,333 NEAR milestone tokens to eligible Confidential Intents participants. Drop 1 was structured around a $70 million Confidential Intents TVL milestone.

That milestone has now been reached, and eligible participants are seeing individual reward allocations on near.com.

The AirdropBuzz Team's participating account received an allocation of 4.220037 NEAR. This is direct evidence that the reward-calculation phase for eligible Drop 1 users has taken place.

AirdropBuzz Received 4.220037 NEAR

Our NEAR@X reward dashboard currently displays:

4.220037 NEAR — Allocated to you.

This is an important distinction. The amount has been allocated, but it has not yet been deposited as freely transferable NEAR.

near.com tells us that the reward will be deposited automatically once the program's price condition is met. The interface explicitly says that no action is needed.

Users should therefore be extremely cautious of any website, Telegram message, X reply or direct message claiming that they must manually "unlock" their NEAR allocation.

When Will Allocated NEAR Be Deposited?

NEAR@3.33 uses a market-based unlock condition rather than an immediate token distribution.

The program condition is based on NEAR maintaining a 3-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of at least $3.33.

A brief move above $3.33 does not necessarily satisfy the rule. The relevant metric is the program's three-day VWAP calculation.

Once the required condition is satisfied, near.com says eligible allocations will be deposited automatically.

Do I Need to Claim My NEAR Allocation?

For users currently seeing the same allocation status as AirdropBuzz, the interface says:

No action needed.

The allocated NEAR is expected to be deposited automatically when the required price condition is met.

This is different from the earlier campaign stage, when participants had to opt in, fund their Confidential balance and complete eligible swaps.

Do not connect your wallet to an unofficial "NEAR@3.33 claim portal" or pay anyone to release your allocation.

What Was Required for NEAR@3.33 Drop 1?

Drop 1 rewarded eligible users of Confidential Intents on near.com.

The original qualification route included:

• Opting in to the NEAR@3.33 campaign
• Holding more than $100 in Confidential balance
• Completing at least one Confidential swap
• Maintaining eligible activity during the campaign period
• Passing applicable eligibility, compliance and anti-abuse checks

Allocation size was not a flat amount for every participant. Activity, qualifying balance and the program's allocation methodology affected individual results.

How NEAR@3.33 Progressed

The Next Phase of NEAR@X Is Coming

The allocation dashboard now tells users that the next phase of NEAR@X is coming.

This could create another opportunity for early near.com users, but AirdropBuzz is not assuming that the next phase will use the same $100 balance requirement, swap requirement, reward pool or $3.33 milestone.

Until NEAR publishes the next set of official rules, the following should be treated as TBA:

• Next reward pool
• Next TVL or ecosystem milestone
• Eligibility requirements
• Snapshot timing
• Required balance
• Activity requirements
• Referral impact
• Price or unlock condition

Existing users should watch the official NEAR@X dashboard because early participation may matter once the next phase opens.

Time vs Reward: Was NEAR@3.33 Worth It?

The AirdropBuzz Team's actual result gives us a much better way to judge the campaign than theoretical reward estimates.

Our account received 4.220037 NEAR from the first allocation.

The campaign required real capital and activity, so the reward should not be described as completely free. Participants had to maintain an eligible Confidential balance and use Confidential Intents.

However, real allocations now confirm that the incentive mechanism delivered identifiable rewards to qualifying participants.

The exact future dollar value of the allocation depends on when it becomes liquid and the market value of NEAR at that time.
