Arbitrum DRIP⭐️Farm Safely & Claim $ARB

Arbitrum DRIP Airdrop Season 1 - Eligible Markets, Safe Loops, Claim

Arbitrum DRIP S1 rewards real borrowing/looping on Arbitrum One in two-week epochs. Rewards are borrow- and time-weighted; you farm on whitelisted markets and claim ARB via the Merkl after data finalizes. Start on the Arbitrum DRIP page, connect your EVM wallet, and use the DRIP Opportunities dashboard to pick safer loops.

Key takeaways

  • Markets & cadence: Aave, Morpho, Euler, Fluid, Dolomite, Silo (plus campaign pools). Epoch rewards settle post-epoch; allocations can rotate across discovery→performance→taper.

  • Eligible collateral (examples): ETH side (weETH, wstETH, rsETH, ezETH, gmETH) and USD side (sUSDC, sUSDS, USDe, sUSDe, syrupUSDC, wstUSR, sUSDai, thBILL). Always check live eligibility.

  • Safety first: keep Health Factor ≥ 1.5–1.8 on volatile loops; watch borrow caps, variable APRs, and wrapper mechanics (fees/peg).

  • Claiming: after each epoch, open the Merkl claim page, connect the same wallet, review per-campaign lines, and claim ARB (batch if available).

Quick actions

  1. Open Arbitrum DRIP page / Airdrop hub, connect your EVM wallet, and scan the DRIP Opportunities dashboard.

  2. Bridge small test funds to Arbitrum One, pick one eligible market/collateral, and supply.

  3. Borrow and loop conservatively; target HF ≥ 1.5–1.8; avoid thin liquidity. Track APR/allocations on Opportunities.

  4. After epoch finalization, claim on the Merkl claim page, then re-check status on the dashboard and save the tx hash.

FAQ

How are S1 rewards computed?

Time-in-market and borrow amounts dominate; some campaigns add supply-side components. The public dashboards show where emissions flow so you can rotate or stay put.

What are safer starter loops?

Conservative ETH loop (weETH) or stable loop (e.g., syrupUSDC) with higher HF (≥1.8). Understand wrappers, fees, and caps before minting/borrowing.

Where do I claim and for how long?

On the Merkl claim page after each epoch’s data finalizes; claims remain open for a defined period after S1 ends—watch the interface/forum for deadlines.

Do I need to “register”?

No separate signup. Connecting your wallet on the Arbitrum DRIP page is enough; just keep eligible positions open during epochs.
