As stated on July 31, 2023, instead of launching a new Atari token, Atari provided a claim of a fixed number of third-party SAND tokens to each eligible ATRI holder identified in the snapshot taken on April 18, 2022.

The amount of SAND each eligible holder received was a ratio based on the amount of ATRI held and the total holders making claims. Atari dusted every eligible wallet with 0.1 MATIC to cover the cost of the transaction to facilitate a seamless claim.

This SAND claim was for eligible holders that 1) completed an Opt-in to the claim, or 2) completed an approved Custodial Qualification to show that ATRI was held by the claimant on April 18, 2022 at 6:00PM CET (GMT +1) if ATRI was held off-chain, in Atari Chain or a custodial exchange. The claim was live September 8, 2023 at 12noon ET and ended September 22, 2023 at 11:59am ET.
