The DMDv4 mainnet launch is on October 13th 2025 as planned. Preceding the mainnet release is the Snapshot (scheduled on October 6th 2025) of all balances of DMDv3 coin holders, whether on your native wallet or exchanges (Bitmart and P2PB2B promised to support DMDv3 to DMDv4 migration). In accordance with our whitepaper rulesets; after the snapshot, DMDv3 coin holders can choose to claim DMDv4 airdrop for v4 coins, using your DMDv3 snapshot coins balance. If you choose not to claim, your DMDv3 coins are never taken away, it is always with you, but your claimable airdrop balance only reduces with time.
This article will guide DMDv3 coin holders on how to prepare for the snapshot and maximise DMDv4 airdrop claiming for v4 coins. There are two scenarios that you should be aware of!
Scenario 1: Self-Claim via Your Own DMDv3 Wallet/Node (Prefered)
- We suggest you run your own DMDv3 wallet/node and plan to self claim DMDv4 coin’s airdrop for v4 coins using your DMDv3 snapshot coins balance.
- Pre-snapshot, try and merge all your DMDv3 coins into one address to ease your equivalent v4 coins airdrop claiming. Multiple addresses means you have to claim separately. Therefore, a single address or fewer addresses ease your claiming time.
- For instance; if you hold DMDv3 coins on 5 addresses or more, you need to go through the claiming procedure several times.
- Why is this scenario preferred? Because, you are able to fully claim your DMDv4 coins airdrop for v4 coins on your own and don’t need any third-party support. You will also be sure you are keeping your old DMDc (DiamondClassic) on the v3 network.
Note: Snapshot is on October 6th, 2025! Learn more on the mainnet roadmap!
Scenario 2: Keeping your DMDv3 Coins on Supported Exchanges and Relying on their v3 to v4 Migration Support (Not Prefered)
- Bitmart and P2PB2B agreed to support the DMDv4 mainnet chain. They promised to claim and credit users their snapshot balances for DMDv4 coins. DMDv3 coins on the exchanges won’t be accessible or withdrawable on the old v3 network after the snapshot.
- Therefore, coins on any of the exchanges at the snapshot date, rely on such exchanges to do the airdrop claiming and distribute the new chain DMDv4 coins to them (based on their old DMDv3 chain snapshot balance). This means you are relying on a third party, and hence, not a preferred means!
- Please, follow Bitmart and P2PB2B for up-to-date announcements or get in touch with their support to see how they handle the DMDv3 to DMDv4 chain upgrade and user balance airdrop coin claim. Here’s the recent one from Bitmart!
- In this scenario, it’s unclear if and how you can get access to the old chain DMDc (DiamondClassic). It seems both exchanges won’t support DMDc (DiamondClassic). Please reach out to them for any questions you have around claiming. This is because you have no ability to claim by yourself, as the address that holds the coins is managed by the exchanges themselves.
Claiming Roadmap
As described in our Whitepaper, you can voluntarily claim DMDv4 coins airdrop for DMDv4 coins in a 1:1 with your DMDv3 snapshot coin balance. However, timing is important not to reduce the amount of airdrops you could claim for v4 coins, even though you still have access to all your DMDv3 coins. You can choose to hold your DMDv3 coins and not take part in DMDv4 coin’s airdrop claiming
Below is the official claiming roadmap to note:
- 0–3 months: Your whole 100% DMDv3 snapshot coin balances are claimable on DMDv4 coin airdrop for v4 coins.
- 3–6 months: 75% of your DMDv3 snapshot coin balances are claimable on v4 airdrop for v4 coins.
- 6 months–5 years: 50% of your DMDv3 snapshot coin balances are claimable on v4 airdrop for v4 coins.
- After 5 years: No DMDv4 airdrops can be claimed for v4 coins using your DMDv3 snapshot coin balances.
Kindly note: Despite your claimable airdrops for v4 coins only reduced with time if claimed lately, you always have your full balance of your DMDv3 coins with you!
Also, merge all your coins early into a single address preferably, and plan to claim your DMDv4 airdrop for v4 coins within the first 3 months! The first 3 months of DMDv4 airdrop claiming for v4 coins now starts immediately after claiming pot on mainnet is filled. It depends on network scaleup speed and it will be a date between 6th and 13th October. We will announce the exact start date of the first 3 months of v4 airdrop claiming later!
Conclusion
The preparation for mainnet is way beyond preparing for snapshot and v4 coin’s airdrop claiming, it is also important to understand the vision behind DMDv4. By reading the whitepaper you will be informed about the DMD Diamond blockchain’s goals, ecosystem’s industry-first use-cases, and interoperability roadmap.
