As the long testnet journey comes to a close, the Age of Quai is upon us.
The Quai team is excited to begin distributing rewards to Quai Network participants. This milestone honors our earliest supporters and ensures a smooth process for everyone in the community.
The Quai Claims portal is now live at claims.qu.ai, allowing you to claim the Quai you’ve earned through your participation in our testnet programs and community initiatives.
Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the distribution phases, timelines, and rewards available.

Rewards Breakdown
The following categories are available to receive rewards. Each of the roles or activities are independent. Thus, if somebody earns more than one they will receive the sum of the rewards for each of the categories.
For example, if someone has a Quaioneer and Ranger role:
- the Quaioneer role receives 1,000 $QUAI and
- the Ranger role receives 2,000 $QUAI
Thus, this individual with two roles will be eligible to claim 3,000 $QUAI. If they additionally participate in mining or Social Media Rewards, that number will be calculated separately and added to their role rewards.
