    Avail token airdrop guide

    Avail ($AVAIL) is a new technology that allows developers to create their own blockchains with more speed, security, and flexibility. Avail will be launching their mainnet very soon, which means their Goldberg Incentivized Testnet will be ending soon, so do not miss out! Here’s our Avail ($AVAIL) token airdrop guide.

    Avial incentivized testnet airdrop guide

    What is Avail ($AVAIL)?

    Here is a summary of what Avail is and their main features based on the information on this page:

    • Avail: A fast and secure data and consensus layer that provides a foundation for building next-generation, trust-minimized applications.
    • Modularity: Avail supports any blockchain execution environment, allowing developers to customize, scale, and adapt their blockchains to any modular stack.
    • Sovereignty: Avail enables chains to become sovereign, meaning they have full control over their state and logic, and can update them without redeploying a smart contract.
    • Shared Security: Avail inherits the security of its base layer validator set, which uses cutting-edge math to ensure data availability and correctness.

    Will there be an Avail ($AVAIL) token airdrop?

    The Avail Goldberg Incentivized Testnet (also known as the Clash of Nodes) campaign has been live since November 2023. Avail will be launching its mainnet sometime this quarter. So it is likely Avail will do an airdrop soon!

    How to get the Avail ($AVAIL) token airdrop?

    Here’s how to get the Avail ($AVAIL) token airdrop

    1. Connect to the Avail Goldberg testnet

      Connect to https://goldberg.avail.tools/#/accounts using your Polkadot wallet such as SubWallet. If you do not have a Polkadot wallet, the page will give you a public address and a mnemonic seed phrase to create one right on the page!

    2. Access testnet faucet

      Join the Avail Discord and head to the #faucet-access channel. Note you will need a Gitcoin Passport with over 20 points. Then, go to https://passport-verifier.avail.tools/, connect your Discord and submit your Gitcoin Passport. Then click “Give role”.

      Return to Goldberg and copy the address of the account that you created. Return to Discord, go to #goldberg-faucet and type “/deposit”. Then paste your address and you will get 5 $AVAIL for doing this. You can use the faucet every 3 hours and we suggest to return to get more testnet $AVAIL testnet tokens often because you will need a lot of them to complete tasks.

    3. Set up on-chain identity

      Go to the Goldberg testnet website and click on the ‘Set On-Chain Identity’ option. Enter your information, such as email, Twitter, Discord, etc. Note that this action requires 10 $AVAIL tokens.

    4. Stake $AVAIL tokens

      To stake your AVAIL tokens on the network, go to the ‘Network’ section on the Goldberg testnet website, select ‘Staking’, and join a pool with fewer than 100 participants.

      Stake at least 10 AVAIL tokens in the pool. Remember you can claim more testnet tokens from the faucet every 3 hours to have enough for staking.

    5. Complete Avail’s Light Client Lift-Off challenge and claim the participation NFT

      To complete Avail’s Light Client Lift-Off challenge, connect your wallet to https://lightclient.availproject.org/ and complete the social tasks. Afterwards, mint the participation NFT.

  • Dymension ($DYM) Token Staking Guide: 1000+ airdrop guide!

    Dymension ($DYM) Token Staking Guide: 1000+ airdrop guide!

    Dymension ($DYM) comprises a network of swiftly deployable and high-speed modular blockchains known as RollApps. The projects have just finished their airdrop, and those who had just staked 1 Celestia ($TIA) tokens were able to get thousands of Dymension ($DYM) tokens! However, even if you did not manage to get the Dymension ($DYM) token airdrop, it is still worth getting some tokens so you can stake it. This is to position yourself for more airdrops in the future just like Celestia! Here is our Dymension ($DYM) token staking guide for MORE airdrops!

    Check out our Dymension ($DYM) Token Staking Guide!

    https://youtube.com/live/VXYrqBwUk1A

    And check out our other video on other airdrop rewards offered to Dymension ($DYM) stakers HERE.

    What is Dymension ($DYM)?

    Dymension is a groundbreaking blockchain network characterized by its modular blockchains known as RollApps. These RollApps serve as the front-end, offering users a platform for diverse applications such as games, decentralized finance (DeFi), and NFTs. Central to its operation is the Dymension Hub, akin to a back-end server, which orchestrates network activities, manages requests from RollApps, and ensures cohesive functionality within the ecosystem. In its architecture, Dymension incorporates Data Availability Networks via Celestia, paralleling the role of databases in traditional web setups. These networks provide temporary data storage, enhancing efficiency and adaptability. Complementing this structure is the Dymension RollApp Development Kit (RDK), based on the Cosmos SDK. This kit facilitates the creation of RollApps, offering essential tools and pre-built modules for developers to efficiently build and deploy their applications, each with distinct client and server components. Dymension distinguishes itself through its innovative consensus mechanism and interoperability features. RollApps delegate the consensus process to the Dymension Hub, which maintains network integrity and manages state root updates. This delegation enables rapid transaction processing and high transaction throughput. Furthermore, the network’s design promotes smooth interoperability within the Cosmos ecosystem through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, fostering a connected and collaborative ecosystem.

    How to stake Dymension ($DYM) tokens for more airdrops

    Time needed: 15 minutes.

    Here’s our guide on how to stake Dymension ($DYM) tokens for more airdrops.

    1. Get Dymension ($DYM) tokens

      Claim your Dymension ($DYM) tokens. If you missed the airdrop, you can still buy Dymension ($DYM) tokens on exchanges such as Bybit.

      Sign up for a Bybit account here!

    2. Connect to Dymension portal

      Connect your wallet (either MetaMask, Leap, Trust or Keplr wallets) to the Dymension portal at https://portal.dymension.xyz/dymension/staking. Also follow the steps to add the Dymension network to your wallet.

    3. Choose a validator to delegate your Dymension ($DYM) tokens

      Choose a validator to delegate your Dymension tokens to. Avoid picking validators associated with centralised exchanges, those will have the exchange in its name. We suggest delegating your Dymension ($DYM) tokens to the ValiDAO validator because they announced a ValiDAO ($VDO) token airdrop to all address who delegate their $DYM with their validator!

      We also suggest delegating your Dymension ($DYM) tokens to the Enigma and Frens validators. Essentially, it is a good idea to delegate your Dymension ($DYM) tokens to validators with their own DAO because they are likely to make their own DAO token and airdrop it to you as a reward.

    4. Delegate your Dymension ($DYM) tokens

      Once you have chosen your validator, click “Stake”, select the amount of $DYM you wish to stake and click “Stake”. Note that staking will lock up your tokens for 21 days. To access your staked tokens again, you will need to go through the un-staking process.

    5. Keep track of your validators

      Keep track of any announcements from the validators you have delegated your $DYM with. Follow their Twitter, Discord and Telegram pages for any announcements regarding additional airdrops.

    6. Check if you qualify for NIM Network airdrops

      NIM Network have announced that all $DYM token stakers will be eligible to claim The Nim Genesis Drop, and can claim up to 50 million $NIM (i.e. 5% of the total supply). You can check if you qualified for the $NIM airdrop by going to https://claim.nim.network/ and entering your Dymension wallet address. If you do qualify, the $NIM tokens will automatically be airdropped to your Dymension wallet at TGE.

    7. Stay up to date on the potential Aigisos ($AIG) airdrop

      Aigisos ($AIG) is a RollApp focusing on security, and have been selected by Microsoft for Startups. The team have confirmed that 12% of the $AIG supply will be airdropped to $DYM token stakers as Genesis RollDrop. The $AIG tokens will be distributed during the mining of the Aigisos genesis block, which is expected to be in H1 of 2024. No further details have been released yet. So, follow Aigisos on Twitter to make sure you have the latest airdrop news.

    8. Complete Rivals Network ($RIZ) Galxe tasks

      Rivals Network ($RIZ) is an AI-driven Data Provenance DePIN RollApp built on Dymension and powered by Celestia. The team have already confirmed they will have a $RIZ token and are likely to do a token airdrop. This is because Rivals Network ($RIZ) has a Galxe page where you can complete various social tasks to mint an OAT.

    9. Check eligibility for Dogmond ($DGM) airdrop

      Dogmond ($DGM) is a memecoin similar to ChihuahuaChain ($HUAHUA). However, instead of being built on a blockchain, Dogmond will be built on a RollApp powered by Dymension. Dogmond have confirmed that 40% of their token supply will be allocated to $DYM stakers as a reward for their contribution towards network security and engagement. You can check your eligibility by pasting your wallet address HERE.

    Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

    Which Dymension Validator to pick for MORE AIRDROPS?

    We suggest the ValiDAO validator because they announced a ValiDAO ($VDO) token airdrop to all address who delegate their $DYM with their validator.

    How to find the best Dymension Validator to get more airdrops?

    The best Dymension validators are those with their own DAO. This is because they are likely to make their own DAO token and airdrop it to you as a reward. We suggest you follow their social media channels closely to get the latest news on any airdrop announcements.

    How many Dymension ($DYM) tokens do you need to stake for airdrops?

    The amount of Dymension ($DYM) tokens to stake for airdrops depends on the validator. Each validator will have their own airdrop eligibility criteria.

  • EigenLayer ($EIGEN) token airdrop guide: How to claim?

    EigenLayer ($EIGEN) token airdrop guide: How to claim?

    Eigenlayer is a protocol built on Ethereum that helps people who own Ethereum to keep their money safe and earn more rewards. With EigenLayer, people can use their Ethereum to help many different services stay safe at the same time. EigenLayer have already taken the airdrop snapshot, announced the eligibility criteria and claim details. Here’s our guide explaining the eligibility criteria and how you can claim the EigenLayer token airdrop.

    Eigenlayer Airdrop: Most Disappointing Airdrop SO FAR?!

    Check out our step-by-step guide!

    What is EigenLayer?

    EigenLayer is a protocol that introduces a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security called restaking. This primitive enables users to reuse their ETH on the consensus layer and extend cryptoeconomic security to additional applications on the network. Users who stake ETH natively or with a Liquid Staking Token (LST) can opt-in to EigenLayer smart contracts to restake their ETH or LST and earn additional rewards.

    What is interesting about EigenLayer is that they have raised $50 million in Series A funding led by Blockchain Capital. Other notable investors include Finality Capital, Electric Capital, Polychain Capital, Hack VC and Coinbase Ventures. With Coinbase Ventures backing EigenLayer, there is strong speculation that their token will be listed on either Coinbase or Binance.

    How to get a potential EigenLayer token airdrop if deposits are paused

    To get the potential EigenLayer token airdrop, simply connect to https://app.eigenlayer.xyz/ and connect your wallet. Then, click into your preferred pool, enter the amount of tokens you wish to deposit and click “Deposit”.

    However, Liquid Restaking deposits are currently paused on EigenLayer because it is full. They sometimes reopen, but when it does, it is only for a few hours at a time. So it is importantly to SUBSCRIBE to Boxmining+ because we will be the first to let you know when it does!

    There is an alternative solution to getting the potential EigenLayer token airdrop if liquid restaking deposits are full. However, there is a risk of using Ether.fi as a backdoor to getting into the EigenLayer token airdrop. This is because EigenLayer has not officially supported this as an alternative to getting the EigenLayer token airdrop.

    Here’s how to get a potential EigenLayer token airdrop if EigenLayer deposits are paused:

    1. Connect to Ether.Fi at https://www.ether.fi/.
    2. Use referral for EXTRA POINTS by clicking HERE.
    3. Stake ETH: Choose the amount of ETH you wish to deposit and click “Stake”. But make sure the transaction fees are not expensive when staking. This is because they could be more than what you may potentially get from this airdrop.
      You will get eETH when you stake ETH on Ether.fi.
    4. Earn rewards: You will earn the following rewards for staking on Ether.fi: APR, restaked APR, ether.fi loyalty points and Eigenlayer points.
    5. Withdraw staked ETH: Withdraw your eETH on the “Stake” tab. Note it takes around 7 to 14 days. Or if you don’t want to wait 7 to 14 days, you can immediately swap your eETH for an alternative cryptoasset using any DEX. However, you will need to pay exchange fees for this.

    How to qualify for potential Eigenlayer airdrop: Cheapest method, no Ethereum

    Time needed: 1 hour

    Here’s how to get a potential EigenLayer token airdrop if EigenLayer deposits are paused:

    1. Withdraw Ethereum to Manta

      Withdraw Ethereum on your centralized exchange account (e.g. Binance) to MetaMask using the Manta network. This is because it is extremely cheap to do this. For instance, Binance charged us 0.0001 ETH (around US$0.35) for this transaction, versus 0.003 ETH (around $10.48) for doing the same transaction using the Ethereum network. Note we chose the Manta network so we can get extra rewards on the Manta Renew Paradigm campaign. However, you can also use other networks such as Arbitrum, Base and Optimism.

      Learn more about the Manta Renew Paradigm and our step by step guide HERE.

    2. Join Manta’s New Paradigm

       You need an invite to join Manta’s Renew Paradigm. Use the invite code HERE.

    3. Swap ETH for STONE

      You will need STONE in order to stake on Manta. To get STONE tokens, connect your wallet to https://app.aperture.finance/swap?chainId=169 and swap your ETH to STONE. Note, do not swap all your ETH as you will need some ETH to pay for upcoming transaction costs.

    4. Stake STONE on protocols

      On the staking dashboard, select your validator and stake your ETH. Make sure that you select a validator that offers Eigen Layer Points. For example Shoebill, LayerBank and ZeroLend offer LayerBank/ Shoebill/ ZeroLend rewards, Manta rewards, Stone Stake ETH rewards and Eigen Layer Points. You can choose to stake all your ETH on one or split your ETH between several protocols. We chose which protocol to supply and stake our STONE depending on the Supply APY offered. You can check the Supply APY on the protocol’s page. As at the time of writing, Shoebill offers 4.53% and ZeroLend offers 0.012% Supply APY. Whilst LayerBank offers 3.46% Supply APR.

      See steps 5-6 for supplying and staking STONE on Shoebill.
      See steps 7-8 for supplying and staking STONE on ZeroLend.
      See steps 9-10 for supplying and staking STONE on LayerBank.

      Note that token unstaking on Manta New Paradigm will only be enabled in May 2024.

    5. Supply STONE on Shoebill

      Connect your wallet to https://manta-stone.shoebill.finance/#/ and click on the “STONE” market. Uder the “Supply” tab, choose the amount of STONE you wish to supply and confirm the transaction. This will give you sbSTONE.

    6. Stake sbSTONE on Manta

      Go to the Manta Renew Paradigm staking dashboard and click on the down arrow under Shoebill. Stake your sbSTONE to get Shoebill rewards, Manta rewards, Stone Stake ETH rewards and Eigen Layer Points. Note that token unstaking on Manta New Paradigm will only be enabled in May 2024.

    7. Supply STONE on ZeroLend

      Connect your wallet to https://app.zerolend.xyz/. Click the down arrow to change to the Manta market. Click on “StakeStone Ether”. Choose the amount of STONE you wish to supply and click “Approve STONE to continue”. This will give you z0STONE.

    8. Stake z0STONE on Manta

      Go to the Manta Renew Paradigm staking dashboard and click on the down arrow under ZeroLend. Stake your z0STONE to get Zerolend rewards, Manta rewards, Stone Stake ETH rewards and Eigen Layer Points. Note that token unstaking on Manta New Paradigm will only be enabled in May 2024.

    9. Supply STONE on LayerBank

      Connect your wallet to https://manta.layerbank.finance/bank. Click “STONE” under Markets. Choose the amount of STONE you wish to supply and click “Supply”. This will give you lSTONE.

    10. Stake lSTONE on Manta

      Go to the Manta Renew Paradigm staking dashboard and click on the down arrow under LayerBank. Stake your lSTONE to get LayerBank rewards, Manta rewards, Stone Stake ETH rewards and Eigen Layer Points.

    EigenLayer airdrop review

    When reviewing an airdrop, there are several factors to consider. First, the likelihood the project will even do an airdrop in the first place. Then, to look at how many tokens the project intends to allocate towards airdrop campaigns, as well as the difficulty in participating in their airdrop. It is also important to look at the utility of the token so that there will be an actual use and purpose in participating in the airdrop in the first place. Finally, a factor to consider when reviewing an airdrop is whether the airdropped tokens are subject to any lockup period.

    Likelihood of airdrop: The EigenLayer airdrop is now live. Participants are already doing tasks and getting points!

    Airdropped token allocation: The EigenLayer airdrop allocation is unknown.

    Airdrop difficulty: The EigenLayer airdrop requires users to deposit ETH onto their platform. But deposits are currently closed. We have an alternative which is to deposit on Ether.fi instead, but EigenLayer have not confirmed this is an official method to getting their token airdrops.

    How to get the DOT is $DED token airdrop

    Time needed: 1 hour

    Here’s how to get the DOT is $DED token airdrop.

    1. Get a Polkadot wallet

      To get the airdrop, you will need a Polkadot wallet such as Subwallet, Talisman, Enkrypt or Polkadot.js. We use Subwallet which is a Chrome extension that can be downloaded here.

      Subwallet is also a good choice because we can use it to stake Manta tokens for ecosystem airdrops. Check out our Manta token staking guide here.

    2. Fund your wallet with Polkadot ($DOT) tokens

      DOT is $DED will airdrop $DED tokens to any Polkadot $DOT token holders, including $DOT held on centralized exchanges. HOWEVER, the team have warned that it does not mean that the centralized exchanges would give $DED to their users.

      Therefore, you should move your Polkadot into your SubWallet to get the airdrop or buy Polkadot ($DOT) tokens from centralized exchanges such as Bybit, Binance or KuCoin exchange.

      Sign up for a Bybit account here!

    3. BONUS: Stake $DOT on Polkadot

      Staking $DOT tokens on Polkadot means you will be nominating a validator. However, there are requirements for becoming a nominator on Polkadot. To become a nominator on Polkadot, you will need 250 $DOT to run a nomination pool and maintain a 100% uptime.

    4. Join a nomination pool

      Alternatively, you can join a nomination pool with only 1 $DOT! To join a nomination pool, connect your wallet to https://staking.polkadot.network/?utm_source=polkadot.network#/pools, go to “All Pools” and choose a nomination pool to stake your Polkadot. However, you can only bond your $DOT tokens to one pool at a time, and it will take 28 days to unbond your tokens from the pool.

      To decide which Polkadot pool to stake your $DOT, we looked at https://polkadot.subscan.io/nomination_pool. In particular, we look at the “Reward Pool” and “Members” columns. We would look for pools that have higher Reward Pool but fewer Members. However, avoid the pools with “Destroying” or “Destroyed” as its status.

    5. Stake $DOT on Bifrost

      Go to https://bifrost.app/vstaking/vDOT and stake your $DOT to earn $vDOT. Bifrost is doing a campaign right now to further incentivize $vDOT holders until 10th March 2024! Note you will need to cross in (bridge) your $DOT to the Bifrost Polkadot network.

    How to get the io.net ($IO) token airdrop?

    If you have limited GP resources, one simpler way of getting the potential io.net ($IO) token airdrop is to create a worker node and complete the Galxe tasks. However, we predict that you are likely to receive more airdropped io.net ($IO) tokens if you set up the worker node. Therefore, here’s our guide on how to obtain the io.net ($IO) token airdrop, specifically focusing on setting up the worker node for MacOS.

    1. Complete Galxe tasks

      Go to io.net’s Galxe page and complete the tasks. These tasks not only involve following their social media pages but also getting Discord roles, as well as participating in their AMAs, completing daily tasks, and actively engaging on Discord for a specified number of days. Please note that you have until 30th April 2024 to complete these tasks2.

    2. Sign up on io.net

      Go to. https://cloud.io.net/login and create an account. Then, on the homepage, hover over the “io/cloud” logo on the top left hand corner and click “Worker”.

    3. Set up worker

      Firstly, on the homepage, hover over the “io/cloud” logo at the top left-hand corner and click “Worker”. Afterwards, click “Connect New Worker” at the top of the screen. Then, proceed by selecting your Operating System (for instance, Mac OS), Supplier, and finally, give your device a unique name and choose the device type.

    4. Download and set up Docker Desktop

      Download Docker Desktop for MAC OS HERE. Afterwards, choose the recommended settings when prompted.

    5. Download and launch binary

    Best Injective ($INJ) Ecosystem Token Airdrops

    Here are the best Injective ($INJ) ecosystem projects that are doing token airdrops.

    Black Panther Finance ($BLACK)

    Black Panther Finance is a protocol on Injective that helps users earn more from their digital assets by using smart vaults that trade for them with one click. The team have confirmed they will do an airdrop by distributing POINT tokens on the Injective mainnet. These POINT tokens will then be used to unlock rewards when their $BLACK token is launched.

    Get the Black Panther Finance airdrop by delegating your $INJ tokens to the Black Panther Validator. To do this, go to the Injective Hub and connect your wallet. Locate the validator named “Black Panther | Delegate for Claimdrop”. Click on “Delegate Now” and then “Continue to Delegate”. Finally, enter around 3 INJ as the amount to stake and confirm the transaction. Note however that it does take 21 days to unstake your $INJ on Black Panther Finance.

    Talis Protocol

    Talis Protocol functions as an NFT marketplace for Injective NFTs. This platform allows users to buy or sell various digital collectibles.

    There are 2 main strategies to potentially receive the Talis Protocol airdrop. First, stake $INJ on the Talis Protocol validator. This shows you’re actively supporting the network. Second, trade Injective NFTs on the platform. By actively using the platform, buying or selling NFTs, you demonstrate your involvement and could potentially be rewarded with an airdrop.

    DojoSwap ($DOJO)

    DojoSwap is a decentralized finance platform on Injective that allows users to provide liquidity, stake INJ tokens, and farm rewards. The $DOJO token is the native token of DojoSwap, which gives users governance power, rewards, staking opportunities, and fee reduction benefits.

    To get the DojoSwap airdrop, users need to set up a web3 wallet, buy INJ tokens, transfer them to the wallet, connect it to DojoSwap, stake INJ tokens, and farm rewards by staking the liquidity pool tokens on DojoSwap. This will generate $POINTs that can be redeemed for $DOJO tokens, as well as trading fees from the liquidity pool pair.

    Check out our DojoSwap ($DOJO) token airdrop guide!

    Hydro Protocol ($HDRO)

    Hydro Protocol ($HDRO) is the first and only native liquid staking protocol on the Injective Network. The $HDRO token airdrop has three phases, and the last one is currently live until 31st January 2024. To get the airdrop, users need to stake their testnet $INJ tokens with Hydro Protocol and receive hINJ tokens, which can be used across other DeFi protocols and earn staking rewards. Users also need to participate in various features of the platform, such as yield farming, auto-compounding, liquidity pools, governance, and swapping. The airdrop amount will depend on the timing and amount of staking.

    Mainnet interactions

    Here’s how to do mainnet interactions to get a potential Injective ecosystem token airdrop:

    1. Deposit on Black Panther valuts
    2. Trade NFTs on Talis Protocol
    3. Deposit on Helix markets
    4. Farm on DojoSwap

    To deposit on Black Panther vaults, connect your wallet to https://trade.blackpanther.fi/vault. Choose a vault and deposit your $INJ. Then, stake your resulting LP tokens. By doing this you will accumulate Points. Afterwards, navigate to your staked Vault and select “Stake > Claim Rewards” to claim your rewards. Your Points will be used to unlock Black Panther’s $BLACK token when it is launched.

    To trade NFTs on Talis Protocol, go to https://talis.art/ and select Injective as your preferred chain. Then, bid on and flip some NFTs.

    Helix is a decentralized exchange and they are doing a continuous airdrop! Connect your wallet to https://helixapp.com/. Go to the “Rewards->LP rewards” tab. Select the TIA/USDT market and deposit some funds there. This will allow you to earn $TIA and $INJ rewards. Helix has just received 2 million $PYTH which will be distributed to early users! You can check your availability HERE

    DojoSwap is a decentralized finance platform on Injective. To participate in the DojoSwap airdrop, users need to set up a web3 wallet. Then, buy INJ tokens, transfer them to your wallet, connect it to DojoSwap. There, stake your INJ tokens, and farm rewards by staking the liquidity pool tokens on DojoSwap. This will generate $POINTs that can be redeemed for $DOJO tokens, as well as trading fees.

    Testnet interactions

    Testnet interactions are a good way to participate in the Injective ecosystem airdrop if you do not have any $INJ tokens or do not want to spend any money. So this will be a literal free airdrop! Here are some of the best protocols on the injective ecosystem that have incentivized testnet campaigns:

    1. Ninja Blaze
    2. Aeroscraper
    3. Hydro Protocol

    Before doing any testnet interactions however, you will need to get some testnet $INJ tokens. To get testnet $INJ tokens, connect your wallet to https://inj-testnet.nept.finance/ and go to the “Faucet” tab. Enter your Injective address and click “Submit”. You will receive your testnet $INJ after a few minutes.

    Ninja Blaze is a game in the Injective ecosystem. To participate, connect your wallet to https://testnet.blaze.ninja/ and create a free account. Then, go to the Ninja Blaze Galxe page and complete the missions to claim their $SHU tokens. Afterwards, you can play the games on Ninja Blaze. Currently they have 2 games available: Jackpot and Roshambo. Mint the Ninja Blaze NFTs or buy them at Talis Protocol.

    Aeroscraper is a decentralized lending and borrowing protocol. To interact with Aeroscraper, go to https://www.aeroscrapertest.tech and click “Launch app”. Select Injective as your chain and connect your wallet. On the “Trove” tab, deposit some testnet $INJ as collateral to borrow $AUSD. Then, deposit the $AUSD into the Stability Pool to earn rewards.

    Hydro Protocol ($HDRO) is the first and only native liquid staking protocol on the Injective Network. To receive the airdrop, users must stake their testnet $INJ tokens with Hydro Protocol and try the platform’s various features.

    Injective ecosystem airdrop review

    When reviewing an airdrop, there are several factors to consider. First, the likelihood the project will even do an airdrop in the first place. Then, to look at how many tokens the project intends to allocate towards airdrop campaigns, as well as the difficulty in participating in their airdrop. It is also important to look at the utility of the token so that there will be an actual use and purpose in participating in the airdrop in the first place. Finally, a factor to consider when reviewing an airdrop is whether the airdropped tokens are subject to any lockup period.

    Likelihood of airdrop: There are numerous protocols in the Injective ecosystem with new ones being added all the time. So there is always an ongoing airdrop!

    Airdropped token allocation: The Injective ecosystem airdrop allocation depends on the protocol.

    Airdrop difficulty: As there are multiple Injective ecosystem projects doing airdrops, the difficulty can vary. The most difficult would be staking on validators, but it could be as easy as playing games on the testnet.

    Token utility: The Injective $INJ token is used to govern key components of the Injective Chain including the futures protocol (such as new listings), exchange parameters, and protocol upgrades. The INJ token is used for governance and also distributed as rewards for those who build and help develop dapps in the Injective ecosystem.

    Token lockup: The Injective ecosystem airdropped token lockup depends on the protocol.

  • Manta token staking guide for ecosystem airdrops: Renew Paradigm

    Manta token staking guide for ecosystem airdrops: Renew Paradigm

    Manta Network is a blockchain platform that empowers developers to construct and launch applications and dApps on Ethereum, leveraging zero-knowledge (ZK) technology. It offers low transaction fees, impressive scalability, and developer-friendly functionalities. The Manta airdrop may be over, but you can still use your Manta tokens to qualify for a many more airdrops. In particular, you can stake your Manta tokens to collators (i.e. validators) of the Manta ecosystem to qualify for more airdrops. Here is our Manta token staking guide.

    Check out our step-by-step guide on how to position yourself for several Manta network airdrops!

    MONSTER Yield Manta Renew Paradigm Campaign (MULTIPLE Airdrops)

    And check out our other Manta staking guide: Stake MANTA for MULTIPLE airdrops (Step-by-Step Guide)

    How to find upcoming airdrops in the Manta ecosystem?

    There are over 180 live projects in the Manta ecosystem, and many of these are already live. However, if you are hunting for upcoming airdrops in the Manta ecosystem, you should look for the projects that say they are “coming soon” e.g. Aori, Double Protocol or Sending Me. Note however that this does not guarantee they will do an airdrop or what the airdrop criteria will be. This is because it will be up to each project to decide.

    One common eligibility criterion for airdrops is ecosystem staking, in this case, staking on the Manta network. So, one way to position yourself for a potential Manta ecosystem project airdrop would be to stake $MANTA with their collators (i.e. validators).

    How to stake Manta tokens for multiple airdrops?

    There are many Collators on the Manta Atlantic network, see here. However, staking Manta on the Manta Atlantic network may be difficult for some as the minimum staking requirement is quite high. Currently, the lowest minimum staking requirement is 594 $MANTA, and some Collators require a minimum of 1,459 Manta! However, you can actually liquid stake your $MANTA tokens on Bifrost with no minimum staking requirement! Also, liquid staking on Bifrost still could qualify you for a potential Manta ecosystem token airdrop. This is because liquid staking on Bifrost still counts as delegating your tokens to the collators (i.e. validators) of the Manta ecosystem.

    Time needed: 30 minutes

    Here’s how to stake Manta tokens for multiple airdrops.

    1. Get Polkadot wallet

      Manta staking on Bifrost occurs on the Bifrost Polkadot network. So, you will need to get a Polkadot wallet such as SubWallet, Talisman, Enkrypt or Polkadot.js. We use SubWallet which is a Chrome extension that can be downloaded here.

    2. Get $MANTA tokens

      Collect your $MANTA tokens from the Manta airdrop (Learn more about the Manta token airdrop here). Note, however, since the airdrop was on Manta Pacific network, you will need to bridge your tokens to the Manta Atlantic network in order to stake.

      Or you can buy Manta tokens from centralized exchanges such as Bybit, Binance or KuCoin exchange.

      Sign up for a Bybit account here!

    3. Bridge tokens to Manta Pacific

      Note, if you are planning to stake your airdropped $MANTA, you will need to bridge your tokens to the Manta Atlantic Network in order to stake. This is because the airdrop was on Manta Pacific network.

      To bridge tokens from Manta Pacific to Manta Atlantic network, connect your Metamask to https://app.manta.network/manta/bridge. Select Manta Pacific as the “From” network and Manta Atlantic as the “To” network. Then, select the number of $MANTA tokens you wish to bridge. Afterwards, find your Manta Atlantic address from your SubWallet and paste your address, or you can simply click “Get address”. Confirm the transaction.

      Note your Manta tokens will be bridged through Moonbeam network. The entire bridging process will take around 10 minutes. DO NOT leave the window and ensure that your internet connection does not disconnect during this process. Otherwise, your Manta tokens will be stuck on Moonbeam.

    4. Cross in Manta tokens on Bifrost

      Connect your Subwallet to https://bifrost.app/vstaking/vMANTA and click “Cross in”. This will move your Manta tokens from Manta Atlantic network to the Bifrost address. Select the number of $MANTA you wish to cross in and click “Cross in”. Once the transaction is completed you will be able to see your $MANTA balance on the main page under “My Staking”.

    5. Stake $MANTA

      On the staking page, select the amount of $MANTA you wish to stake and click “Stake”. You will earn $vMANTA by staking.

      As a reference, we staked around US$1,000 worth of $MANTA. This is because we are trying to avoid being wrongly identified as Sybil or bot farmers, which could disqualify you from receiving any airdrops.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    How to unstick $MANTA tokens from Moonbeam network

    If your $MANTA tokens are stuck on Moonbeam, connect your Metamask to Celer Network’s cBridge. On cBridge, bridge your $MANTA tokens from Moonbeam back to Manta Pacific. To confirm your Manta tokens are indeed bridged back, go to Moonscan and type in your address. If you were bridging from Manta Pacific to Manta Atlantic, this means you will need to repeat the process again once your $MANTA tokens are unstuck from the Moonbeam network.

    Alternatively, you can use Stellaswap’s XC-Transfer feature to directly transfer Moonbeam to Manta Atlantic network. To do this, connect your Metamask to the page and select “Manta.xc” as the token to transfer, then click “Withdraw”. Then, connect your Subwallet. We suggest trying with 1 $MANTA first as a test to make sure the transaction does go through.

    Is it worth staking Manta on Bifrost?

    There are currently only around 2,100 Manta stakers on Bifrost, and the fewer the stakers, the higher the APY! Currently the APY is around 42%! We staked around 143 $MANTA on Bifrost 2 weeks ago and earned 2 $MANTA.

    What is the Elys Network ($ELYS, $EDEN) tokens?

    Elys Network will have 4 tokens in its ecosystem, ELYS, ELYS-LP, EDEN and EDEN-Boost. Here are some of the features of the Elys Network tokens:

    Here is a summary of the tokens and their uses based on the information on this page:

    • ELYS: The staking & governance token of ELYS Network. It has a low supply and rewards users who deploy it with inflationary and non-inflationary rewards. It may become deflationary over time as the ecosystem grows and burns ELYS.
    • ELYS-LP: The liquidity provider tokens that can be either Pool Tokens or Molecule Tokens. Pool Tokens are assigned to a specific AMM pool, while Molecule Tokens are assigned to a multi-asset index within a sector. Both types of tokens allow users to provide liquidity and earn rewards.
    • EDEN: The vesting ‘inflationary reward’ token that is earned by both stakers & liquidity providers. EDEN can be ‘committed’ to earn extra rewards and participate in governance.
    • EDEN-Boost: The multiplier token that is earned while ELYS is ‘staked’ or EDEN is ‘committed’. Its purpose is to reward long-term users and increase their rewards.

    What is the Elys Network Odyssey incentivized testnet?

    The Elys Network Odyssey incentivized testnet is a public testnet by Elys Network that is currently live. It is structured into 9 phases. We are currently in phase 3 and phase 4 is set to start in the week of 31st March 2024. This incentivized testnet aims to engage participants to complete various tasks such as swapping tokens, staking, and delegating to validators on the Elys Network platform. Participants will have the opportunity to earn testnet tokens and potentially collect NFT rewards for completing tasks in each phase. Once you have collected at least 5 NFTs, you can combine them into a gold NFT. This may be key to a potential airdrop at the end of the Elys Network Odyssey.

    Elys Network airdrop review

    When reviewing an airdrop, there are several factors to consider. First, the likelihood the project will even do an airdrop in the first place. Then, to look at how many tokens the project intends to allocate towards airdrop campaigns, as well as the difficulty in participating in their airdrop. It is also important to look at the utility of the token so that there will be an actual use and purpose in participating in the airdrop in the first place. Finally, a factor to consider when reviewing an airdrop is whether the airdropped tokens are subject to any lockup period.

    Likelihood of airdrop: Elys Network have confirmed they will an incentivized testnet.

    Airdropped token allocation: The Elys Network airdrop allocation is unknown.

    Airdrop difficulty: The Elys Network incentivized testnet has not even been launched yet, so all you need to do is to sign up for the waitlist. However, they have Zealy quests to complete, and their quizzes require you to wait 1 hour to try again if you get the answer wrong. This makes Elys Network one of the most time-consuming and hardest airdrop tasks we have done.

    Token utility: The $ELYS and $EDEN token utility is unknown.

    Token lockup: There is no information on the $ELYS and $EDEN token lockup yet.

    3. Get testnet BTC

      Go to the #faucet channel on https://discord.gg/gRJ72RcrNK. Then, type “/facuet” and enter your wallet address. If you see the error message “error: {‘code’: -32603, ‘message’: ‘replacement transaction underpriced’}”, try again. It took us around 5 tries to get the testnet BTC.

    4. Create a position

      Go back to https://app.satoshiprotocol.org/dashboard and click on “Position”. Create a position by depositing collateral and borrowing with some of your testnet BTC tokens. Do not deposit all of your testnet BTC tokens as you will need it for other tasks.
