Vangrid airdrop step by step tutorial
The Vangrid airdrop is a points campaign in which contributors earn Vangrid points (PTC) by submitting videos of the physical world through the Vangrid Hub, which connects to a wallet. On 28 October 2026 the hub was still taking video submissions, so the campaign counts as live, and it mentions a $100,000 Rewards Program.

Vangrid Hub lets contributors earn PTC points for videos of real places and mentions a $100,000 Rewards Program; connect a wallet to start.
What is Vangrid?
Vangrid is a spatial data layer for physical AI: a network where people record short videos of real places with an ordinary phone, and those videos are reconstructed into 3D models. Its documentation describes the gap it targets as ground level views that satellites and road-mapping fleets do not see.
The buyers are teams training and operating physical systems, including robotics, autonomous platforms, simulation and mapping. A buyer can post a bounty for a specific location, fund a reward, review the submissions and accept one. The output is a textured mesh in GLB format.
The documentation stresses provenance: each capture is fingerprinted when it is recorded, and the roots of batched fingerprints are anchored on Base so a buyer can check them against a public ledger. According to the whitepaper, identifying content is removed on the device before the video is encoded.
How Vangrid works
Contributors film places with an ordinary phone, and the network turns the footage into 3D models. Each recording gets a tamper-evident record of its content, rough place and time, made when it is filmed. Groups of these records are committed to Base, so a buyer can check one independently.
For bounties, a requester asks for a specific place to be filmed and attaches a reward. A contributor who films it sends the capture in for review, and the requester accepts one submission.
The rewards campaign runs through the Vangrid Hub, where submitting videos earns PTC. The hub says points record a contributor's input to the grid and their rank in it. It mentions a $100,000 Rewards Program but does not say how it is divided, and neither a snapshot date nor a claim date is named. The whitepaper's contents list includes a section titled "$VAN", and the material available does not say how it relates to PTC.
The Vangrid points (PTC) airdrop
The Vangrid Hub pays Vangrid points (PTC) to contributors who submit videos of the physical world, and the hub mentions a $100,000 Rewards Program. Taking part needs a connected wallet and a phone that can record video. No amount per contributor or claim date is given.
Step by step: how to get the Vangrid points (PTC) airdrop
Stay safe: a real airdrop never asks for your seed phrase or private key. Use only the official links on this page, and treat any message that offers help with a claim as a scam.
Step 1: Connect a wallet on the Vangrid Hub
Open the Vangrid Hub and use Connect Wallet. The hub then lists the earned points and rewards history for that wallet.
Step 2: Open the capture app
Start the capture app in a browser, or use the Android app. Connect a wallet there, as the documentation describes.
Step 3: Record a short video of a real place
Film the location with your phone camera. The documentation points to a quickstart for a first capture.
Step 4: Submit the capture to a bounty
The documentation describes sending a finished capture to a bounty, and points to a bounties page for commissioning a capture of a specific place. The hub describes earning PTC by submitting videos, but Vangrid does not spell out how a bounty submission links to the hub's points.
Step 5: Check your PTC in the hub history
Return to the Vangrid Hub with a connected wallet and look at the history section for earned points.
