What to do, in order
-
Step 1
Open the official Push Portal at portal.push.org from a link on push.org
-
Step 2
Connect a wallet and get testnet tokens from the Push Chain faucet on the Donut testnet
-
Step 3
Complete on-chain quests in universal apps, such as swapping, providing liquidity, playing or predicting, to earn XP and points
-
Step 4
Level up to collect Rare Passes, which the team says can be burned at TGE for a chance at a Shiny Pass and a reward boost
-
Step 5
Watch push.org for the mainnet date, the TGE and the final airdrop terms
Where things stand
Push Chain is a layer 1 blockchain from the team behind Push Protocol. It is designed for what the project calls universal apps: an application is deployed once, and users from other chains can use it with their existing wallets and tokens. The network is fully EVM compatible according to the website. Its public testnet is called Donut, and the developer docs state that mainnet is currently in development.
The native token, $PC, is not live on mainnet. The official tokenomics page proposes a total supply of 10 billion tokens and allocates 10% of supply to airdrops for past and present Push Protocol users, new users, creators, developers and ecosystem partners. Airdrop distributions are set to begin at TGE and continue over several seasons. The same page warns that the token is not live, no presale is live, and nobody should be trusted who offers early access to the token.
We mark Push Chain as active because Season 3 of the rewards program is running on the official portal and the team describes it as the route to the reward drop at mainnet launch. The airdrop terms are still labelled as a proposal and no date is set, so any value is uncertain.
How the rewards program works
The Push blog describes Season 3 as the final season of the points program before mainnet, run as an incentivized testnet. Users earn XP by completing quests on the testnet portal, such as providing liquidity, swapping, playing games or making predictions in universal apps. Levelling up yields Rare Passes, points and boosts. A daily spin and weekly rotations of featured apps add more opportunities to earn.
Rare Passes are collectibles. According to the official posts, at TGE users can burn them for a chance to mint a Shiny Pass, with every burned pass giving at least some boost. Shiny Pass holders are described as eligible for extra rewards at mainnet launch, including boosted staking. Leaderboard positions also bring additional rewards. Points from earlier seasons were described as unlocking eligibility for the token drop after mainnet.
On anti-farming, the Season 3 announcement says Sybil resistance checks are in place, recommends wallets with genuine history and activity, and warns that misuse may lead to restrictions. No detailed rule set is published.
- Testnet participation is free; testnet tokens come from the official faucet.
- No conversion rate from points or passes to $PC is published.
- Sybil checks exist but their criteria are not disclosed.
Risks and red flags
The main cost is time. The testnet uses faucet tokens, so you should never need to pay to take part. Any site asking you to buy $PC, join a presale or pay for early access contradicts the official tokenomics page, which says no presale is live.
Use only portal.push.org and links from push.org. Fake portals and fake migration pages for $PUSH holders are a known pattern around token transitions. Never share a seed phrase and use a separate wallet for testnet activity.
The allocation is still a proposal, mainnet has no date, and the program has run through several seasons already. Rewards could be smaller or later than participants expect.
What to take from this drop
Push Chain is one of the clearer cases among unlaunched networks: a long-running team, public docs, a published tokenomics proposal with a named airdrop share, and an open testnet rewards program. The missing pieces are the TGE date, the points conversion and the final allocation per user.
The vesting outline in the tokenomics page is also worth reading before forming expectations. Community and ecosystem reserves have a 13.5% unlock at TGE followed by 36 months of vesting, core contributors have a 12-month delay followed by 24 months of vesting, investors vest linearly over 24 months and the Push Labs treasury over 36 months. The token is also used for staking to secure the network, with validators and delegators earning rewards once mainnet runs.
For existing $PUSH holders, the official rewards post says they will be able to migrate to $PC, but no migration procedure or date has been published. Until one appears on push.org, there is nothing to do, and any migration site appearing early should be treated with suspicion.
If you take part, keep it low-cost and use the apps in a normal way rather than farming many wallets. We will update this page when Push publishes the mainnet date or final airdrop terms.

Push Chain airdrop questions
Is there a Push Chain airdrop?
The official tokenomics page proposes 10% of the total Push Chain token supply for airdrops, with distributions beginning at TGE and continuing over multiple seasons. No TGE date is published.
How do I earn Push Chain points?
Through the Season 3 rewards program on portal.push.org, by completing testnet quests in universal apps to earn XP, points and Rare Passes.
Is the $PC token live?
No. The tokenomics page states the token is not live and no presale is live, and the docs say mainnet is in development.
