Tomorrow is Bitcoin Snapshot Day for the ECX distribution - final preparation reminder from Claim eCash
The Bitcoin snapshot for the ECX distribution takes place tomorrow. Complete your final wallet checks, confirm your Bitcoin addresses, and make sure your backups are secure before the snapshot.

The Snapshot Is Tomorrow

Tomorrow marks an important milestone for the ECX distribution.

If you've already prepared your wallet, verified your eligible Bitcoin addresses, and reviewed the claim process, then you're ready.

There is no need to rush or make last-minute changes.

Today is simply about confirming that everything is in place.

Your Final Checklist

Before the snapshot takes place, confirm that:

✅ Your Bitcoin is stored in the wallet you intend to use.

✅ You can access that wallet.

✅ Your Recovery Phrase or Private Key is safely backed up.

✅ You've checked your eligible Bitcoin addresses using the ECX Claim Checker.

✅ You've reviewed the guide for your wallet.

✅ You understand the ECX claim process.

If you've completed these steps, you're ready for tomorrow.

What You Should NOT Do Today

The day before the snapshot is not the time to experiment.

Unless absolutely necessary, avoid:

  • moving Bitcoin between wallets;
  • creating a new wallet;
  • restoring your wallet in unfamiliar software;
  • entering wallet credentials on unofficial websites;
  • making unnecessary changes to your setup.

Keeping your wallet unchanged is usually the safest approach during the final hours before the snapshot.

Remember How the Process Works

The Bitcoin snapshot records the blockchain at a specific block height.

After the snapshot:

  • The snapshot determines which Bitcoin addresses are eligible.
  • The claim process begins according to the official schedule.
  • Eligible users will be able to use the Official ECX Claim Tool to receive their ECX allocation.

You do not need to rush immediately after the snapshot. Follow the official announcements and complete the claim when the process opens.

Stay Alert for Phishing

Major blockchain events often attract phishing attempts.

Remember:

  • The ECX Claim Checker only requires a public Bitcoin address.
  • Never enter your Recovery Phrase into an eligibility checker.
  • Never send Bitcoin to "activate" an ECX claim.
  • Always verify that you're using the official Claim eCash website.

If anything seems suspicious, stop and verify before proceeding.

Tomorrow Is the Beginning — Not the End

The snapshot is only one milestone in the overall process.

After it takes place, we'll continue publishing official updates, claim instructions, and important announcements to help eligible users complete their ECX claim safely.

Visit the Updates section regularly to stay informed.
