Three Weeks to Go
The countdown has begun.
With only 21 days remaining until the official ECX Bitcoin snapshot, now is the ideal time to prepare. Waiting until the last few days may lead to unnecessary stress or missed steps.
A little preparation today can make the claim process much smoother after the snapshot.
Your 21-Day Checklist
If you haven't prepared yet, here are the most important things to do before the snapshot.
✅ Check Your Eligibility
The first step is to confirm whether your Bitcoin address is expected to qualify for an ECX allocation.
The ECX Claim Checker lets you do this using only your public Bitcoin address.
No private key, recovery phrase, or wallet password is required.
✅ Review Your Wallet
Think about where your Bitcoin is currently stored.
Ask yourself:
Do I control my wallet?
Can I access it today?
Do I know which Bitcoin addresses contain my BTC?
Am I using one of the supported wallets?
If you use Ledger, Trezor, Electrum, Bitcoin Core, or Sparrow Wallet, dedicated step-by-step guides are available.
✅ Back Up Your Wallet
Before the snapshot, confirm that your wallet backup is complete.
Depending on your wallet, this may include:
- Recovery Phrase
- Private Key
- Wallet backup file
Store backups securely and offline whenever possible.
Never share your Recovery Phrase or Private Key with anyone.
✅ Learn the Claim Process
Understanding how the claim works now will save time later.
Learn:
- how the Bitcoin snapshot works;
- how to verify eligibility;
- the difference between the Claim Checker and the Claim Tool;
- when Private Key Mode or Recovery Phrase Mode may be used.
✅ Bookmark the Official Website
Bookmark the official Claim eCash portal today.
Using a saved bookmark helps reduce the risk of accidentally visiting phishing websites during the claim period.
Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
Many users postpone preparing until the final days before a blockchain snapshot.
Avoid rushing by:
- confirming wallet access now;
- reviewing your backups;
- reading the wallet guide for your wallet;
- checking your eligibility in advance.
Being prepared now means you'll be ready when the snapshot arrives.
Security Reminder
As interest in the ECX snapshot grows, fraudulent websites may also appear.
Remember:
- the ECX Claim Checker only requires a public Bitcoin address;
- never share your Recovery Phrase with an eligibility checker;
- never share your Private Key with an eligibility checker;
- always verify that you're using the official Claim eCash website.
