The one date that matters
Oct 25 2026, ~11:00 UTC APPROX TIME — that's where our countdown stops. Here's the honest basis: the close date comes from the claim site's own FAQ data, but the ~11:00 UTC time is via 99airdrops — Pharos has published no official time-of-day. The window opened Apr 28 2026 and runs 180 days; when it ends, the portal is gone for good.
Treat the clock as generous, not exact. With no published hour, the switch could be thrown at any point on Oct 25. If your claim matters, be finished days early — not hours early.
What's still on the table
10M PROS — 1% of the 1B genesis supply — ≈ $6.37M at $0.6367 (CoinGecko, Oct 18 2026). We show prices for scale, not as promises; the pile is worth whatever PROS is worth when the portal closes.
What happens to the unclaimed
It reverts — the word from the claim site's own FAQ data: Reverts to the Pharos Foundation. The portal closes permanently. No grace period. No second window, no extension, no appeals process. And forgetting deadlines is expensive at scale: a week before this page went up, Sonic burned 32.69M unclaimed S ≈ $1.73M (Oct 15 2026) — deadlines in this space do get enforced, on real money, by real projects. That burn is on our home page.
How to claim — the official way
- Go to claim.pharos.xyz — and type it yourself. Not via a link from a DM, an ad, or a search result you didn't read. Deadline events attract look-alike domains; the real portal is the one you typed.
- One claim, not four. Four eligibility cohorts — testnet participants, "Stake Before the Stake", Discord roles, and OKX Wallet users — were auto-consolidated into a single claim. You don't claim per-cohort; if you were in any of them, check the portal even if you think your piece was small.
- Gas was pre-paid. Claim gas is 0.05 PROS, and it was pre-sent to eligible wallets — if you're eligible, the gas is already sitting there. You shouldn't need to send anything anywhere first.
- Delayed claims have all unlocked. If you picked a delayed-claim option (30/60/90 days), those delays have fully elapsed — your entire claim is available right now, and it dies Oct 25 if nobody takes it.
- No eligibility shown? Then you weren't in any cohort — nothing to claim, nothing lost. Don't go hunting for "Pharos claim" sites that will happily discover an eligibility that doesn't exist.
The traps
Read this before Oct 25
No official time-of-day. Our countdown uses ~11:00 UTC as the marker; the real close could come earlier on the 25th. Claim days early, not hours early.
No grace, no extensions. Don't bank on a "closing soon" reprieve. Everything we found says permanent, and the only place a change would be announced is the official portal itself.
Scam season peaks with deadlines. Expect fake "Pharos claim" sites, DMs, and "support" accounts offering to beat the clock — for anyone asking for your seed phrase to speed up a claim, the claim is you. The official portal will never ask for your seed phrase. Neither will we.
What we haven't verified
- The portal's exact claim flow — connect versus paste. We haven't documented it, and it doesn't change your safety rule: whatever the official portal asks for happens at the URL you typed.
- Any post-close recovery path. We found none — "reverts, permanent, no grace" is the whole story we could verify. If that ever changes, it changes at claim.pharos.xyz/faqs, not on any helper site.
- The PROS price on Oct 25. $6.37M is today's snapshot, not a promise.
Who's telling you this
ClaimAid is an INDEPENDENT helper — not affiliated with Pharos or any project. No keys, no custody, no wallet connect, nothing for sale on this page. We track claim deadlines because deadlines are where money dies quietly: our main event is the NIGHT guide — $49.4M still uncollected on Midnight, with the full tranche schedule decoded and the real deadline explained. The pledge on the about page is the same one that applies here.
