From just 30 minutes day you can make $1000+ for free by interacting with projects.<\/p>\n
It sounds scammy but it\u2019s not. This blog will teach you all you need to know about testnets, and how you can make this as a side hustle. This is a way to make money from crypto and earn crypto from projects early\u00a0on.<\/p>\n
Essentially Testnets are like the \u201csandbox\u201d version of a blockchain. A place where developers test their network before lauching it live onto the Mainnet. There\u2019s numerous reasons they would do this such as to stress-test their systems. They reward tokens to early testers and developers through airdrops.<\/p>\n
These rewards are no joke either. You may have heard of Arbitrum for example. They started out as a testnet and early users saw rewards as high as $10,000. All they had to do was interact with the testnet a few minutes a day at most. They reward users because they want to give users incentives to test their project and also for brand and engagement.<\/p>\n
Step 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n You will need a wallet.<\/strong> We recommend a self-custodian wallet like MetaMask or Phantom wallet. These are the key ones as of date, however always do your own research\u00a0(DYOR).<\/p>\n It\u2019s also imporant to use a new address. You will be interacting with early projects with barely any reviews so it\u2019s always best to stay safe. Always be vary of links and avoid scams. Make sure you\u2019re interacting with official\u00a0sources.<\/p>\n Step 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n Find legit testnets to interact with.<\/strong> This is the hardest part. You will need to find projects with good funding and promising projects. You can use aggregators like Galxe, Kaito, wallchain quacks to find early testnets.<\/p>\n (We have our own X account where we post updates on testnets, protocol projects and\u00a0alphas)<\/a><\/p>\n We are currently grinding on Monad and\u00a0Pharos.<\/p>\n Step 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n Interact with the protocol<\/strong>. Examples include: swap tokens, stake toens, mint NFTs, add liquidity. These use free faucet\u00a0tokens.<\/p>\n Step 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n Stay consistent and track progress: <\/strong>Most people don\u2019t get rewards as airdrops require consistency and loyalty. It\u2019s also not certain you will get any rewards so that instantly puts many people off, however that\u2019s also why rewards are so high. You may have to interact daily\/weekly for months on end. I also recommend using Notion or a simple excel template to track tasks and follow their socials to be aware of any\u00a0updates.<\/p>\n Step 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Wait for mainnet launch and claim rewards: <\/strong>Projects have a criteria on who is eligible for awards, they typically award users who have been using their testnet for a considerate amount of time and have completed a solid amount of transactions. They also do an eligibility check on their website where users can see if they been eligible for an air drop. Be patient and stay consistent.<\/p>\n Always check project\u2019s official socials and documentation.<\/p>\n Avoid connecting wallets to shady websites.<\/p>\n Never pay to \u201cjoin\u201d a\u00a0testnet.<\/p>\n Check community size and engagement.<\/p>\n You can use multiple wallets. However it\u2019s recommended not to as for testnets, the quality of your interactions matter more than the quantity. Furthermore, if you have multiple wallets, interacting in a similar fashion, this can be marked as sybil and you will not be eligible for\u00a0rewards.Be active in communities. Some airdrops track Discord\/X engagement and has start to become a popular criteria.Keep faucet tokens handy. Always\u00a0claim.Record your\u00a0actions.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t about luck. It\u2019s about showing up everyday and being consistent. It\u2019s about being early and staying curious. Put in the effort because testnets are the new gold rush. You\u2019re not gambling and you\u2019re not risking any capital.
