Testnet Airdrops
Participate in blockchain testnets before mainnet launch. Early testers often receive generous retroactive token airdrops.
Why Testnets?
Testnets let you use protocols before they launch. Projects like Optimism, Arbitrum, and Aptos rewarded testnet participants with airdrops worth thousands of dollars.
Start Early
Early testers often receive larger allocations. Don't wait for hype.
Be Consistent
Regular activity over time beats one-time large interactions.
Document Everything
Keep records of your transactions and wallet addresses used.
Provide Feedback
Report bugs and give feedback - it shows genuine participation.

How to Farm Testnets
Get Testnet Tokens
Use faucets to get free testnet tokens. Most projects have official faucets or community-run ones.
Complete Tasks
Interact with dApps, bridge assets, swap tokens, provide liquidity, and test features.
Stay Active
Maintain regular activity. Weekly interactions over months beat one-time usage.
Not All Testnets Lead to Airdrops
Testnet participation is speculative. Never spend real money expecting an airdrop. Only use dedicated wallets and testnet tokens.
