Before You Start
Before beginning the claim process, ensure that you have access to your Sparrow Wallet and the information required to verify ownership of your eligible Bitcoin addresses.
Depending on how your wallet is configured, you may use different ownership verification methods during the official claim process.
You should also prepare an ECX receiving address before submitting your claim.
- Access to Sparrow Wallet
- Wallet password (if configured)
- Wallet backup available
- ECX receiving address
- Stable internet connection
Check Your Eligibility (Recommended)
The easiest way to begin is by verifying whether your Bitcoin addresses are eligible for an ECX allocation.
The ECX Claim Checker requires only your public Bitcoin address. No wallet credentials are required for this step.
Prepare Your ECX Address
Create an ECX wallet or obtain an ECX deposit address from an exchange that supports ECX.
Your claimed ECX will be delivered to this address after the claim process has been completed.
Open the Official ECX Claim Tool
After checking your eligibility—or if you choose to skip this step—continue to the Official ECX Claim Tool.
The tool will guide you through the ownership verification process appropriate for your wallet configuration.
Complete Ownership Verification
Follow the instructions displayed by the Official ECX Claim Tool.
Depending on how your Sparrow Wallet is configured, you may be asked to provide the information required to verify ownership of your eligible Bitcoin addresses.
Always read the on-screen instructions carefully before continuing.
Enter Your ECX Receiving Address
Paste your ECX receiving address into the destination field.
Verify the address carefully before submitting your claim to ensure your ECX allocation is delivered correctly.
Submit Your Claim
Review all entered information before confirming your claim.
Once ownership verification has been completed successfully, your ECX allocation will be processed according to the official ECX distribution procedure.
