hs-airdrop is the official redemption tool for the Handshake network's decentralized airdrop of HNS coins to open source developers. It checks a user's PGP or SSH private key against a merkle tree embedded in Handshake's consensus rules and generates the signed proof needed to claim coins on chain.

Use cases

• claim Handshake HNS coins from the open source developer airdrop
• check if my GitHub SSH or PGP key is eligible for the Handshake airdrop
• generate a signed merkle proof to redeem HNS on chain
• redeem airdropped cryptocurrency without revealing private keys to third parties
• verify airdrop eligibility from PGP web-of-trust or Keybase-linked keys

When to choose

• you are an open source developer eligible for the Handshake airdrop and want the officially recommended redemption tool
• you need to create on-chain merkle proofs signed with SSH or PGP keys for Handshake consensus
• you want to avoid scam tools and phishing services targeting airdrop claimants

When to avoid

• you registered for the Handshake faucet on handshake.org, since your coins are claimable via wallets like hsd or Bob instead
• you had no SSH or PGP key on GitHub at the time of the 2019 snapshot, making you ineligible
• you need a general-purpose Handshake wallet or full node rather than a one-time redemption tool
