How to get LOAN airdrop on Proton
Metal have just announced an official date (June 15th at 12am PST) and details about the Proton Lend LOAN token airdrop to XPR and MTL holders and stakers!
From their blog;
We are excited to announce the introduction of LOAN governance token for Proton Lend and the incoming airdrop that can only be accessed directly on the Proton blockchain. The LOAN token will be used to vote on governance decisions such as which tokens can be collateralized on the protocol to borrow and lend, as well as the rates for borrowing
They have announced that the LOAN governance token can be earned in one of three ways:
1. The initial airdrop of LOAN to XMT, XPR and XPR short/long term stakers
2. Liquidity mining on Proton Lend via providing liquidity to any approved pair on Proton Lend protocol
3. Liquidity mining on Proton Swap via providing liquidity against any LOAN pair
You can only access the initial airdrop as well as liquidity mining on the Proton blockchain, the Proton Lend and Proton Swap protocol. Which means you need to have your MTL and XPR on the Proton blockchain.
Download the Proton Wallet and move your $MTL & $XPR there ASAP!
And now for the juicy details, the distribution ratios of LOAN for the airdrop is broken down as follows:
- 333:1 XMT (known as MTL on Ethereum)
- 1:1 XPR
- 2:1 XPR short stake
- 10:1 XPR long stake 90 day
- 30:1 XPR long stake 365 day
When is the LOAN Airdrop on Proton?
June 15th at 12am PST according to the announcement;
Proton Lend opens up a new possibility for borrowing and lending against multiple blockchains that were not accessible on Ethereum or other protocols previously. The LOAN airdrop will commence on June 15th at 12am PST, any of the listed tokens that are held on Proton or in short or long staking contract at that time will receive the airdrop.
For more information on staking and the LOAN airdrop, read the official announcement here.

How to: Send crypto without fees
Welcome to Crypto! Where the gains are high but so are the fees… every time you want to send someone Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) for example, you have to pay a transaction fee or “gas”.
But what if there was a way to send BTC, ETH or even USDC without paying any of these fees?
Introducing Proton ⚛️
Proton Chain eliminates transaction and gas fees by wrapping BTC or ETH as xtokens aka XBTC and XETH respectively. Once you’ve converted your crypto to xtokens on Proton you can send and receive crypto to others on Proton – without paying gas fees.
But that’s not all… if anyone has tried sending Bitcoin or Ethereum to a friend or tried to pay for goods online, you know how long it takes for a transaction to be “confirmed”. So not only do you have to pay fees for the privilege of sending someone money but it also takes forever to send. This isn’t the blockchain dream we were sold.
Not to worry… the dream has come true with Proton. Transactions are instant. No more painful wait times. Try it for yourself.
How do I convert my crypto to xtokens on Proton Chain?
The number of supported coins and tokens in Proton Wallet is growing by the week!
Follow instructions 1 to 3 in this guide on how to convert ETH to XETH using Proton Swap.
Go to our Proton Tutorials page for more information on how to use Proton.
