Airdrop Genesis · Step-by-step guide

How to join the Sectora airdrop, step by step.

This guide takes you from your very first click to a Hash Node that is on and counting. Every step says exactly what to press, what you should see and what not to do, with a screenshot. Read one step, do it, then go to the next.

Already staking #SECT? You're already in.

You don't have to do anything else with your staking. Don't withdraw anything. Skip Part A and go straight to Part B: just turn on your Hash Node with the same wallet you stake with, and you start taking part.

Go to Part B →

00 · Before you start

Have these four things ready.

01A crypto walletMetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, OKX, Binance Wallet or any Ethereum wallet. On your phone or your computer.
02At least 100 #SECTIn that wallet. Don't have them yet? Buy them on Uniswap with our step-by-step buying guide.
03A little ETHOn Ethereum, in the same wallet. It pays the network fees (a few dollars).
04 · Most importantONE wallet for everythingYour staking and your node must use the same wallet address. Using two different wallets is the most common mistake.

Three safety rules. Never break them.

1. Never give anyone your secret recovery phrase (the 12 or 24 words) or your private key. Sectora will never ask for them. 2. Only use sectoraorg.com: check the address bar every time. 3. Nobody from Sectora will message you first to “help” you. If someone does, it is a scam.

Computer or phone

Computer or phone? Both work.

Use the one you have. The steps are the same: only the way your wallet opens changes.

(1) Your wallet in the list · (2) Connect in the wallet window.
(1) Your wallet in the list · (2) Connect in the wallet window.

On a computer

Using a computer? Do it like this.

On a computer your wallet is a browser extension (Chrome, Brave or Edge). It opens as a small window at the top right.

  1. Install your wallet in Chrome, Brave or Edge (for example MetaMask, only from its official website). Open it and unlock it with your password.
  2. Staking (Part A): open sectoraorg.com/staking and press Connect wallet. Press your wallet in the list (1). The wallet window opens at the top right: press Connect (2).
  3. Node (Part B): open sectoraorg.com/dashboard in the same browser, press Connect wallet and choose the same wallet.

Don't see the wallet window? Click the puzzle icon at the top right of the browser, then your wallet. No extension? In the list, choose Wallet on your phone and scan the QR code with your phone.

On a phone

Using a phone? Read this first.

Everything in this guide works on a phone. You only need your wallet app installed (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet…).

  1. Staking (Part A): open sectoraorg.com/staking in Chrome or Safari and press Connect wallet. Tap your wallet app in the list, approve there and come back to the browser.
  2. Node (Part B): open sectoraorg.com/dashboard and press Connect wallet. On a phone it shows Open in MetaMask (or your wallet): tap it and the dashboard opens inside your wallet app. Continue there.
  3. Inside the wallet app everything connects directly. Use the same wallet app for everything.

If the wallet app doesn't open, open it yourself, find its built-in browser (often called Browser, Explore or Discover) and type the address there.

Part A · Steps 1–7

Stake your #SECT

You put your #SECT in the official staking. They stay yours, earn staking rewards every second and count for the airdrop. Already staking? Skip to Part B.

    Your wallet is on another network? It doesn't matter. You don't need Sepolia or test coins: the dashboard only reads your address.
  3. 10Part B

    Your node

    Check that your node is active

    1. Go down to the box with the 50 TH/s plan.
    2. You see your node's name and city (1) and Node active ✓ (2).
    3. Do you see the button Activate my node instead? Press it.

    (1) Your node and its city · (2) Node active ✓
    About the location. The dashboard detects your node's approximate location from your connection. Only the city is used, never your address.

    Step 10 · Plan B · only if you see “We couldn't detect the location. Enter it below.”

    Why
    Sometimes a VPN, an ad-blocker or a strict browser blocks the detection. Then two boxes appear: Latitude and Longitude.
    Find the numbers
    Open Google Maps and search for your city. On a computer, right-click the city center; on a phone, press and hold it. You see two numbers, like 40.4168, -3.7038.
    Fill them in
    The first number goes in Latitude (1). The second number goes in Longitude (2). Keep the minus sign if there is one.
    Then
    Press Activate my node (3). Your node turns on right away. Use your city, not your home.

Problems · quick answers

Something didn't work? Look here first.

“Not enough ETH” on the staking page

Part A uses real Ethereum. Add a little ETH (on Ethereum) to the same wallet and try again.

“Switch your wallet to the Ethereum network”

You are on the staking page with the wrong network. In your wallet, choose Ethereum (Ethereum Mainnet) and reload.

“You do not have that many #SECT in your wallet”

Type a smaller amount, or buy more #SECT with our buying guide.

I used a different wallet for the node

It doesn't count. Connect your staking wallet on the dashboard and repeat Part B with it.

The location wasn't detected, or it is wrong

If it wasn't detected, two boxes appear: follow Plan B in step 10. Use your city, not your home.

The wallet window didn't open

Open your wallet app or extension yourself: the request is waiting there. On a phone, after approving, go back to the browser tab.

My Airdrop doesn't show my node yet

Wait a minute and press Refresh. The activation is read right away and saved publicly every few minutes.

I already had a node from before (Sepolia)

Nothing changes: it keeps its date and its days. You don't have to activate it again.

Do I have to keep my computer on?

No. Once activated, your node stays on by itself.

Do I have to withdraw my staking to join?

No. Never. Your staked #SECT count as they are, and you keep earning your staking rewards.

Does Part B cost money?

No. Activating your node is free: no test coins, no gas and no signature.
