Aligned Publishes ALIGN Airdrop Terms After 20-Month Delay
Aligned, a ZK infrastructure firm, has finally published the terms of its ALIGN airdrop, 20 months after registration closed. The company still hasn't set a date for the token launch.
The airdrop covers 8.74% of the total ALIGN supply of 10 billion tokens. It splits three ways: the Genesis Drop accounts for 3.88% of the total supply and unlocks at the Token Generation Event (TGE), with smaller allocations on Base and larger ones on Ethereum mainnet.
The company attempted two public sales, one on CoinList in January 2025 and another on Sonar in April 2026, but both were canceled. The second sale was an English auction of 100 million ALIGN tokens priced between $0.01 and $0.10, with bidding scheduled for April 13 to 16 and final settlement for May 12.
Aligned also deprecated its Proof Verification Layer in July 2025, citing maturing proof systems and Ethereum's move toward native ZK support at the protocol level. The company is building a new Proof Aggregation Service that supports only the SP1 zkVM.
