If you’ve ever wondered what happened to the Cipher CPR airdrop back in 2021, you’re not alone. Many crypto enthusiasts still hear the name “Cipher [Old]” on tracking sites and wonder if they missed out or how the distribution actually worked. This article pulls together everything the project publicly shared, breaks down the technical backdrop, and shows you how to verify whether you ever qualified.
Cipher (CPR) is a utility token launched on April 9, 2018 that originally ran on the Ethereum blockchain before moving to Polygon PoS. The team, spread across India, the United Kingdom and NewZealand, designed CPR to act like a share in the company - holding CPR gives you a slice of any future revenue streams.
The token’s total supply is fixed at 1.08billion CPR, with a self‑reported circulating supply of about 186.28million as of early 2025. Its contract on Polygon is 0xaa404804ba583c025fa64c9a276a6127ceb355c6, a address that replaced the older Ethereum contract after the migration.
In mid‑2021 Cipher ran an official airdrop titled “CIPHER (CPR) ASSET AIRDROP 2021 CONDUCTED ON CMC”. The distribution used CoinMarketCap’s (CMC) promotional platform, which at the time was a go‑to channel for projects wanting instant exposure.
Key points from the roadmap:
The airdrop was part of a broader push that also saw exchange upgrades on Cifinex and the launch of the Polygon contract.
 
While Cipher never released a detailed whitelist, the publicly shared criteria hinted at three main eligibility buckets:
After verification, Cipher sent the new Polygon‑based CPR directly to the qualifying wallet addresses. Because the migration required users to switch contracts, many participants reported a brief period of confusion-some thought they needed to claim a second time, while others missed the airdrop entirely.
The move from Ethereum to Polygon PoS (Proof‑of‑Stake) was billed as a “Powerful ERC‑20 version on Polygon”. The advantages were clear:
That technical upgrade was tightly coupled with the airdrop-by rewarding users with the Polygon version, Cipher hoped to accelerate adoption of the cheaper network.
Following the airdrop, CPR’s market cap nudged upward, but the token has been highly volatile. Highlights:
| Attribute | Value | 
|---|---|
| Total Supply | 1.08billion CPR | 
| Circulating Supply (2025) | 186.28million CPR | 
| Current Network | Polygon PoS | 
| Contract Address | 0xaa404804ba583c025fa64c9a276a6127ceb355c6 | 
| All‑time High (Feb2024) | $0.004065 per CPR | 
| 24‑hour Range (Oct2025) | $0.00004791 - $0.00006803 | 
Even with the airdrop’s short‑term boost, CPR’s price has settled near the lower end of its 2025 range. The token’s utility-providing access to Cipher’s business‑application suite-has not seen major new releases since 2023, which likely dampens demand.
 
The 2021 airdrop illustrates a common pattern among 2018‑2021 crypto projects:
As of October2025, Cipher’s official channels show limited activity. The project is still listed under “Cipher [Old]” on major trackers, indicating that a newer version (or a completely different initiative) may have replaced it. For anyone still holding CPR, the token remains tradeable on a handful of small exchanges, but liquidity is thin.
If you think you might have qualified for the 2021 airdrop, here’s a quick checklist:
Remember, the airdrop did not require KYC, so any wallet that meets the criteria should have received the allocation automatically.
No. The airdrop was distributed directly to qualifying wallets without any transaction or claim fee. Users only needed to hold the appropriate amount of CPR before the migration deadline.
Unfortunately, the claim window closed in late 2021. If you missed it, the only option is to buy CPR on the secondary market.
The "Old" label indicates that the original Cipher token contract has been superseded by a newer version or a different initiative. Tracking sites keep the tag to differentiate the legacy token from any newer releases.
All CPR holdings were automatically swapped to the Polygon contract address 0xaa404804ba583c025fa64c9a276a6127ceb355c6. Users could continue to trade or use the tokens within Cipher’s ecosystem, though activity has slowed in recent years.
Investment potential depends on whether Cipher revives its product roadmap. Current low liquidity and modest price action suggest caution; treat CPR as a speculative asset.

October 10, 2025 AT 08:46Man i remember when i first heard about Cipher CPR back in 2021 i thought it was just another rug pull but then i saw people actually getting tokens for free on CMC and i was like wait this is real
Turns out i had 150 CPR sitting in my metamask from like 2019 and never claimed it
Lost money but at least i learned not to ignore airdrop notifications

October 10, 2025 AT 11:47Of course only Americans got the airdrop. The project was hosted on CoinMarketCap which is a US-based platform and the team was mostly in India and NZ but they prioritized wallets with US IP addresses. Classic crypto colonialism.
Roxanne Maxwell
October 11, 2025 AT 10:34This was such a sweet moment in crypto history honestly
People were just getting free tokens without even trying hard
I still remember my friend from college who had no idea what blockchain was but got 500 CPR because she once clicked a CMC popup
She sold it for $120 and bought a new laptop
Simple times

October 12, 2025 AT 03:59Let me break this down for you because apparently half the comment section doesnt understand how token migrations work
First the contract was on Ethereum which costed a fortune to transact on then they migrated to Polygon because gas fees were killing adoption
But here’s the thing most people didnt realize the migration was automatic for holders of 100 CPR or more and the airdrop was just for those who used the platform or claimed via CMC
So if you had 99 CPR you got nothing and if you had 100 you got the same amount on Polygon no extra bonus
And yes the contract address is correct 0xaa404804ba583c025fa64c9a276a6127ceb355c6 i checked it on polygon scan myself
Also the total supply is wrong its not 1.08billion its 1.08 billion with a space dumbass

October 13, 2025 AT 01:10Why are we even talking about this
I lost my wallet in 2020 and now i see people getting rich from stuff i never even knew existed
Life is unfair
Elliott Algarin
October 14, 2025 AT 00:05There’s something poetic about how crypto rewards the patient and punishes the distracted
People who held through the noise got paid
People who chased the next shiny thing got nothing
It’s not about the token its about the mindset
John Murphy
October 14, 2025 AT 01:29i had the 100 cpr but never claimed
didnt even know the migration happened
now i just check the contract every now and then
wondering if its still alive

October 14, 2025 AT 10:33While I appreciate the technical breakdown I must emphasize that the use of CoinMarketCap as a distribution platform represents a dangerous precedent for decentralized finance
Centralized intermediaries undermining the very ethos of blockchain
It is ironic that a project calling itself Cipher chose to rely on a corporate entity with questionable transparency

October 14, 2025 AT 18:13Bro Cipher CPR was never real
It was a Nigerian prince in a hoodie with a fake whitepaper and a discord server full of bots
They gave out tokens to people who replied with 🚀 and then vanished
That contract address? Probably owned by a shell company in the Caymans
And now you people are treating this like some sacred crypto gospel
Wake up
Patrick De Leon
October 15, 2025 AT 10:07Irrelevant. The entire project was a gimmick. Real blockchain projects dont need airdrops on CoinMarketCap. They build utility. They earn traction. This was a marketing stunt wrapped in a whitepaper. The token is worthless. Move on.

October 15, 2025 AT 14:02How can you people be so naive
You think a project with a team in India UK and New Zealand actually cared about you
They used your data to sell to advertisers then dumped the token on dexes
And now you sit here crying about missing out on 50 dollars
Pathetic
I told my friends to sell the moment they got it
They laughed at me
Now they’re still holding while I bought ETH at 1800
Who’s the genius now
Sean Huang
October 16, 2025 AT 07:03Did you know CoinMarketCap was bought by Binance in 2020
And Binance has ties to the Chinese government
And the Cipher contract was deployed right after the airdrop ended
And the Polygon migration happened exactly 7 days after the US election
And the team’s lead dev used a VPN from a server in Moscow
And the original Ethereum contract had a hidden function that could freeze wallets
They were testing social engineering on the masses
Its not an airdrop its a psyop
They wanted to see who would blindly claim tokens without checking the code
And you fell for it
You’re all part of the experiment
Check the contract again
Look at the deployer address
It’s the same as the one used in the 2021 NFT rug pull in Singapore
They’re the same people
They’re still watching

October 17, 2025 AT 05:57Hey if you missed this airdrop dont stress
There are always more coming
Just keep your wallet active check the official channels and dont trust random Discord links
You got this
madhu belavadi
October 17, 2025 AT 16:46i had the tokens
i sold them for 20 bucks
used it to buy pizza
still better than your portfolio
Dick Lane
October 17, 2025 AT 19:56i checked my wallet last week
still got the polygon CPR
never sold it
never bought more
just sitting there
kinda like my hopes and dreams
Norman Woo
October 18, 2025 AT 19:18wait so the old eth contract got abandoned and now its just on polygon
so if i still have the old token in my wallet does it even matter
or is it just ghost money now
also i think i spelled polygon wrong
Serena Dean
October 19, 2025 AT 14:01For anyone who’s wondering if they qualified here’s how to check
Go to polygon scan
Search the contract address
Look at the transfer events around August to October 2021
If your wallet showed up with a positive balance and no gas fee it was an airdrop
Also join their official Telegram
They still post updates once in a blue moon
And yes the project is still alive
Just quiet
Not dead
James Young
October 20, 2025 AT 05:50You guys are wasting your time
This is a dead token
Zero volume
No team updates
No roadmap
Just a ghost contract
And you’re treating it like it’s Bitcoin
Get a life
