TL;DR
- Z.ink launches Season O.rigin airdrop campaign on December 16, 2025.
- Rewards are based on zProfile levels earned through Star Atlas activity.
- 10% of the $ZINK token supply is allocated for this distribution
Z.ink Airdrop Season O.rigin kicked off on December 16, 2025, marking the primary distribution phase for the native $ZINK token. Developed by ATMTA, the studio behind Star Atlas, this campaign allocates 10% of the total $ZINK supply and ties rewards to users’ digital identity called zProfile, which converts on-chain activity into zXP to determine allocation size.
Z.ink positions itself as a gaming-focused Layer-1 blockchain built on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The platform claims to reduce fees by over 99% compared to Solana, with an initial processing capacity of up to 20 transactions per second. At the heart of the ecosystem is the zProfile system, which functions as a persistent identity that records user actions and converts them into zXP.

The O.rigin season represents the second phase in a multi-stage rollout, following a closed Alpha Test Season that concluded on October 30, 2025. Early testers could reach up to 20 zProfile levels during Alpha, which carried over to the current O.rigin campaign. Only new activity during this phase counts toward additional zXP, with the final Airdrop & Genesis stage targeting token generation and mainnet launch in March 2026, coinciding with Star Atlas’s Sage C4 release.
Participation Requirements and Earning Methods
To participate, users must create a zProfile on the Z.ink dashboard and link all wallets compliant with the Solana Wallet Standard (including Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack). Some participants may need to redeem access codes distributed through community channels. Complete wallet linking ensures all eligible on-chain actions register for zXP conversion.
Users can earn zXP through multiple routes:
- Gameplay: Actions in Star Atlas environments (Golden Era browser title, Epic Games Store integrations, and the free-to-play Holosim) generate zXP without requiring asset ownership
- Marketplace: Purchases of primary listings (cyan) directly from the Star Atlas team contribute to zXP
- Token locks: Locking ATLAS and POLIS tokens via govern.staratlas.com converts to daily zXP, with longer locks increasing yields
Various multipliers can boost earnings, including daily check-in streaks (up to 25% increase), rare crew deployment, and Z.ink Club subscriptions. The subscription tiers—Alpha, Aura, and Apex—offer multipliers between 1.25x and 2x plus additional benefits like battle passes and premium domain names.
Participants should note the need to refresh the zProfile interface after switching wallets and consider subscription costs versus potential zXP gains. Early Alpha progress is capped at level 20 carryover, with only new O.rigin actions affecting future allocations.
Timeline and Next Steps
The O.rigin season represents the primary distribution mechanism before the Airdrop & Genesis event scheduled for March 2026. This final stage will determine token allocations based on accumulated zXP and mark the transition to Z.ink’s mainnet launch and broader decentralization phase.
Users looking to maximize their allocation should focus on consistent engagement across gameplay, marketplace activities, and token commitments throughout the O.rigin season to optimize their zProfile level and potential reward.
