ETHGas Genesis Harvest Snapshot is imminent; three-dimensional qualification assessment determines participation eligibility

ETHGas officially announced that a snapshot will be taken at 8:00 on January 19th. This snapshot will directly determine users’ eligibility to participate in the “Genesis Harvest” event. Unlike previous simple token airdrops, this eligibility assessment adopts a comprehensive multi-dimensional standard, including Proof of Suffering, social contribution value, and community engagement, meaning that participants’ historical contributions and actual involvement will all be taken into account.

Three-Dimensional Criteria of the Snapshot Mechanism

ETHGas’s eligibility evaluation is not based on a single dimension but uses a multi-layered comprehensive measurement approach.

Proof of Suffering

This is the most straightforward dimension, referring to the actual Gas fees spent by users on the Ethereum mainnet. According to relevant information, ETHGas has launched a Gas ID system that can track users’ actual Gas consumption history since the Beacon Chain. This reflects the project’s recognition of long-term participants; the more Gas consumed historically, the greater the contribution to the Ethereum ecosystem.

Social Contribution Value

This dimension examines users’ participation on social platforms. According to the latest information, ETHGas is collaborating with myfanforce to operate community activities, including linking X accounts, completing tasks to earn Beans points, etc. These social interactions will be recorded and included in the eligibility assessment.

Community Engagement

In addition to historical data and social contribution, the actual level of user participation in the community is also an important indicator. This includes engaging in discussions, completing tasks, recommending others, and other forms of community activities.

Preparation Time Window

From the current date of January 13, 2026, until the snapshot at 8:00 on January 19th, users have about 6 days to prepare. This time window is relatively tight, and users who are not yet familiar with the project or have not started participating need to act quickly.

According to relevant information, the participation process is relatively simple: connect X account to get Gas Report, connect wallet to obtain Gas ID, complete tasks to accumulate Beans. All these preparations can be completed before the snapshot.

Project Background and Development Momentum

ETHGas has raised $12M. The core idea of the project is to treat blockspace as a tradable primitive asset, achieving a gas-free user experience through Gas optimization and coordination mechanisms. Analysis of the information suggests that the project is not competing with L2 in speed but is focused on improving user experience and transaction fluidity, which is a different value dimension.

The community enthusiasm for the project is also continuously rising. Sharing Gas IDs on social platforms has become a trend, indicating growing community engagement.

Follow-up Points of Attention

The snapshot itself is just a node; the details of the “Genesis Harvest” event have not been fully disclosed yet. Users should complete all preparations before the snapshot to ensure their multi-dimensional contributions are fully recorded. Also, pay attention to the project’s subsequent announcements regarding the snapshot results and harvest rules.

Summary

This snapshot by ETHGas is an important participation mechanism. It determines eligibility through a comprehensive evaluation of users’ historical contributions, social participation, and community activities, rather than a simple token airdrop. With 6 days remaining until the snapshot, users need to quickly complete Gas ID verification, community task participation, and other preparations. The project has raised $12M and established a complete community incentive system. This snapshot also reflects its emphasis on active users. For users interested in participating in the Genesis Harvest, now is the final window for preparation.
