Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can I check if I'm eligible for the airdrop?

To check your eligibility, connect your wallet to the official GIZA Protocol Claim page and click on the “Check your eligibility” button. If eligible, you’ll see a confirmation and the amount of GIZA tokens you can claim. If not eligible, you’ll receive a clear notification.

What criteria determine eligibility for the airdrop?

Eligibility is based on genuine ecosystem engagement through multiple pathways: ARMA Agent usage (requiring at least 60 points, equivalent to $50 deposited for 5+ days), participation in social campaigns (Layer3, Galxe, or Megaphone) with specific completion requirements, active community stewardship, or early technical contributions to Giza's development.

Why might I not be eligible for the airdrop?

You might be ineligible due to insufficient ARMA engagement (less than 60 points), incomplete social campaign participation, residing in a restricted jurisdiction, or failing to meet the specific qualification criteria for community roles or technical contributions.

If I'm eligible, how is my token allocation calculated?

For ARMA users, allocation is calculated using a tiered system based on points: Points = 0.01 × USD deposited × hours This formula rewards both the amount and the duration of your capital commitment in ARMA. Social contributors receive 180 GIZA per qualifying campaign. Community stewards with Pharaoh and Scribe roles receive 1,800 and 1,200 GIZA respectively, while Feedback Sprint participants receive 385 GIZA if they also deposited ≥$50 in ARMA.

How can I claim my GIZA tokens?

Connect your wallet to the official claim page, check eligibility, and click "Start claim process". You'll then have two options: "Claim & Stake" (automatically stakes your tokens to earn rewards) or "Only Claim" (sends tokens directly to your wallet). You can follow a step-by-step guide here.

Do I need to pay gas fees when claiming my tokens?

Yes, standard network gas fees apply when claiming your tokens, which are paid during the transaction confirmation in your wallet.

Is there a deadline for claiming my tokens? If so, how long do I have?

Yes, you have 3 months from when the claim portal goes live to claim your tokens. Tokens that remain unclaimed after this period will be returned to the protocol treasury.

What can I do with my GIZA tokens once I've claimed them?

You can stake your tokens to earn rewards and participate in governance, hold them in your wallet, or bridge them between supported networks (Ethereum and Base) via Stargate Finance. Staking provides increasing rewards over time with a boost multiplier that scales with staking duration.

What is the purpose or utility of GIZA tokens within the ecosystem?

GIZA tokens fulfill three essential functions: Security Staking for network operators to validate transactions, Progressive Governance to participate in protocol decision-making, and Liquidity Provision to enable efficient fee processing across multiple tokens and chains. These utilities align incentives among all ecosystem participants.

What is the total token distribution for Season 01?

Season 1 distributes 13.8 million GIZA tokens (approximately 1.4% of total supply) across four categories:

  • ARMA Users: 11,089,000 GIZA (1.11% of supply) to 3,701 users
  • Social Contributors: 2,678,220 GIZA (0.27% of supply) to 14,880 users
  • Community Stewards: 82,970 GIZA (0.008% of supply) to 146 users
  • Early Giza Contributors: 216,900 GIZA (0.022% of supply) to 46 users

Will there be future airdrops or opportunities if I miss this one?

Yes, Giza uses a seasonal approach to token distribution. Season 02 is already active, offering new participation opportunities such as enhanced ARMA rewards, engaging with new agents, Giza Protocol activities, and expanded community roles. Current ARMA users are automatically earning points for future distributions.

Where can I verify the official token contract address?

You can verify the official token contract addresses for Ethereum and Base networks: 0x590830dFDf9A3F68aFCDdE2694773dEBDF267774.

How does staking work in the Giza ecosystem?

Giza supports two complementary staking mechanisms: Operator Staking and Community Staking. Operator Staking focuses on network security where operators stake GIZA tokens as collateral. Community Staking centers on governance participation where members gain voting rights proportional to their stake and staking duration.

How can I stake my GIZA tokens?

Go to the GIZA Protocol Stake page and connect your wallet. Click on “Go to staking dashboard,” enter the amount you want to stake, and confirm the transaction. You’ll start earning rewards immediately. A step-by-step guide is available here.

What rewards can I earn from staking GIZA?

Giza has allocated a multi-year reward budget for stakers. In the first year, monthly rewards range from 1.05M to 1.09M GIZA, distributed continuously based on how much and how long you stake. Longer commitments earn higher boosts. Try the Staking Rewards Simulator to estimate your potential earnings.

What is the time-weighted boost for staking?

The time-weighted boost mechanism rewards long-term stakers with increased earning power and governance influence. The boost multiplier scales from 1.25x after 1 week to 5x after 24 months. Withdrawing staked tokens resets the boost for that specific deposit. Each deposit's boost is calculated independently.

Are there any fees for unstaking my GIZA tokens?

No fee is charged if you've staked for at least 1 month. If withdrawn earlier, a 5% fee applies, which decays linearly to 0% over 30 days. This policy encourages longer-term staking while still allowing flexibility to access your tokens when needed.

How does Giza governance work?

Giza's governance system solves the tension between expertise and representation through a council-based system with delegation. It's built on three core convictions: expertise matters, skin-in-the-game is essential, and accountability through delegation creates more effective governance than fragmented direct voting.

What is Giza's governance roadmap?

Giza's governance evolves in phases. In Phase 1, a Security Council maintains executive authority with community input through off-chain voting. Phase 2 introduces delegation where token holders select expert representatives who gain proposal rights, while specialized councils emerge. In Phase 3, community-elected councils fully assume protocol governance, the Security Council becomes solely an emergency circuit breaker, and the DAO operates through on-chain voting with clear delegation paths.

How can I participate in governance?

During Phase 1, only GIZA stakers have influence in community voting. To participate, stake your GIZA tokens in the protocol's staking contracts. You can create forum posts to discuss ideas, vote through Snapshot on proposals published by the Security Council, and express opinions on proposed changes. In later phases, you'll be able to nominate yourself as a candidate for delegate positions.

What happens if I experience any technical issues?

Ensure you to always verify you're on the official domain and connecting to the correct contract addresses before initiating any transactions. If issues persist, reach out via official support channels like our community Discord.
