Satoshi Protocol airdrop status in 2026

Satoshi Protocol evolved into River in May 2025, and the old March 2024 BEVM testnet campaign has ended. River launched the RIVER token on 22 September 2025 and now runs recurring seasonal rewards instead of the testnet NFT and OAT tasks in the original guide.

As of 13 August 2026, two dates matter:

Program	Current status	Deadline
Original BEVM testnet	Ended; no longer earns the old NFT/OAT	18 March 2024
S4 River Pts claim	Closed and forfeited if unclaimed	30 June 2026
S5 River Pts claim and conversion	Open for eligible S5 participants	30 September 2026
Season 6 earning period	Live	1 July–30 September 2026
Season 6 claim	Opens after settlement; final date not yet announced	To be confirmed

The current official page is app.river.inc/airdrop. Eligibility and balances are account-specific. A completed testnet transaction in 2024 does not by itself prove that an account has an unclaimed S5 allocation.

How to claim the S5 River airdrop

River says eligible S5 users can claim River Pts and convert them to Staked RIVER until 30 September 2026. The process is:

Open the official River airdrop page from river.inc.
Connect the wallet and X account used during Season 5.
Check the displayed River Pts allocation before signing anything.
Claim the River Pts to the connected wallet.
If converting, review the live rate and choose a staking epoch of 3 to 24 months.
Confirm the lock end date and token output before submitting the conversion.

Claiming River Pts and converting them are separate actions. Unclaimed S5 points are forfeited after the deadline. Conversion produces a staked position rather than immediately liquid RIVER, so the chosen lock duration is economically important.

How River Season 6 works

Season 6 runs from 1 July through 30 September 2026. Participants can earn River Pts through activities named in the current official announcement:

staking RIVER and taking part in governance;
joining partner campaigns with their own rules and multipliers;
minting or using satUSD through the Omni-CDP and integrated DeFi protocols;
providing eligible liquidity; and
using River4FUN for linked-X content and community activity.

Season 6 uses weekly Saturday snapshots. River lists an ideal conversion rate of 0.01, meaning 10,000 River Pts have a base output of 100 Staked RIVER before any relevant reshare, multiplier or staking-epoch adjustment. This is not a fixed cash value or guaranteed realized output; check the live interface.

Points earned during S6 become claimable after the season settles. River says the final S6 claim and distribution date will be announced separately, so do not confuse the current S5 claim with a premature S6 claim page.

What changed from Satoshi Protocol to River?

Satoshi Protocol began as a collateralized debt position system on BEVM. Users deposited BTC-based collateral to borrow the SAT stablecoin and could supply SAT to a Stability Pool that absorbed debt during liquidations. It later expanded to more chains and renamed the stablecoin satUSD.

River broadened the design into a chain-abstraction stablecoin system. Its Omni-CDP lets users hold supported BTC, ETH, BNB or liquid-staking-token collateral on one chain while minting satUSD on another supported chain. LayerZero messaging coordinates the cross-chain state; users avoid manually bridging that collateral, but cross-chain messaging and protocol contracts still create technical risk.

The project's early materials discussed an OSHI governance token and OSHI pre-mining. The current ecosystem token is RIVER. We found no official promise that every historical OSHI point, campaign token or testnet NFT converts one-for-one into RIVER, so old assets should not be treated as a guaranteed claim.

RIVER token and River Pts contracts

RIVER is the governance and incentive token for the current protocol. River publishes a fixed total supply of 100 million RIVER, allocated 32% to community, 11% to liquidity, 15% to investors, 18% to team and advisors, and 24% to ecosystem categories.

Asset	Network	Official address
RIVER	Ethereum, BNB Chain and Base	`0xdA7AD9dea9397cffdDAE2F8a052B82f1484252B3`
River Pts	BNB Chain	`0xfc6be825925b7a83d131e33b46efef9084f0e014`

River uses the same published RIVER address on those three EVM networks, but the selected network still matters. satUSD has different addresses on several supported chains; verify the chain-specific address in the current deployed-contract list.

River Pts conversion explained

The first dynamic conversion system used a 180-day curve after TGE. River's current Conversion 3.0 replaced that model on 22 April 2026 with quarterly seasons, a season-specific ideal rate and staking epochs anchored to quarter boundaries.

Under Conversion 3.0, the actual amount of Staked RIVER can depend on conversion density and the staking epoch selected. A longer commitment can improve output and voting-power multipliers but leaves the tokens locked for longer. Read the transaction preview as a binding position choice, not a free airdrop click.

satUSD and River risks

Liquidation: A collateralized debt position can be liquidated if its collateral ratio falls below protocol thresholds.
Stablecoin risk: Over-collateralization and redemption mechanisms aim to support satUSD, but they do not guarantee a permanent one-dollar market price.
Cross-chain risk: Omni-CDP relies on contracts, messaging, oracles and supported networks that can fail or be exploited.
Liquidity risk: Swaps, withdrawals and redemptions can face fees, delays or limited liquidity.
Staking lock: Converting River Pts into Staked RIVER can lock the position for 3 to 24 months.
Market risk: The dollar value of RIVER and River Pts can fall even when the conversion rate or token amount rises.
Social-account risk: River4FUN links an X account and wallet, so users should review the requested permissions and privacy tradeoffs.

An audit does not remove these risks. Use a dedicated wallet, verify the complete contract and domain, reject unexpected token approvals and never give an administrator a seed phrase or private key.

Original March 2024 Satoshi Protocol guide (archived)

The following author-written sections are preserved for historical context. The BEVM Canary campaign ended in March 2024 and is not the current River airdrop.

Satoshi Protocol enables users to deposit Bitcoin (BTC) and create a stablecoin called $SAT. This process unlocks significant liquidity from BTC, making decentralized finance (BTCFi) accessible to everyone. They recently launched their testnet campaign, but the NFT and OAT claim is first come first serve! Here is our Satoshi Protocol token airdrop guide.

Satoshi Protocol Airdrop: Incentivized Testnet ENDS on March 18

What is Satoshi Protocol?

Satoshi Protocol is the first CDP system on BEVM, allowing individuals to use Bitcoin as security to obtain SAT stablecoins and contribute to the stability pool, ensuring there’s enough SAT available for the system’s needs. Here are the main features of Satoshi Protocol:

DeFi on Bitcoin: Satoshi Protocol is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol built on the Bitcoin Ecosystem, specifically on the BEVM.
CDP Protocol: It’s the first Collateralized Debt Position (CDP) protocol on BEVM, allowing users to deposit Bitcoin as collateral to borrow the stablecoin SAT.
Stability Pool: Users can deposit borrowed SAT into the Stability Pool to provide liquidity and help maintain protocol stability during liquidation events.

How to get the Satoshi Protocol token airdrop?

Time needed: 20 minutes

Here's how the original guide described the potential Satoshi Protocol token airdrop.

Complete Galxe tasks Go to Satoshi Protocol’s Galxe page and complete the first few social tasks.
Connect to Satoshi Protocol Connect your wallet to the historical Satoshi Protocol app. Follow the steps on your wallet to connect to the BEVM Canary Testnet.
Get testnet BTC Go to the #faucet channel on the Satoshi Protocol Discord. Then, type “/facuet” and enter your wallet address. If you see the error message “error: {‘code’: -32603, ‘message’: ‘replacement transaction underpriced’}”, try again. It took us around 5 tries to get the testnet BTC.
Create a position Go back to the historical dashboard and click on “Position”. Create a position by depositing collateral and borrowing with some of your testnet BTC tokens. Do not deposit all of your testnet BTC tokens as you will need it for other tasks.
Deposit SAT into Stability Pool Go to “Stability Pool”. Deposit the SAT you borrowed in the previous step. We recommend depositing half your $SATs i.e. 9 $SAT.
Mint OAT Go back to Satoshi Protocol’s Galxe page and mint the OAT. No gas fees are required and you can do this on any chain.
