Airdrop chasing is fun but can oftentimes require a lot of time, energy, and money. Today we want to explore only those that require time and energy while keeping the money for ourselves.
Obvious picks should be Testnet Dapps that have a high probability of gracing you with some free tokens upon Mainnet launch and here is what I found on my travels:
Aptos Testnet NFT
The image you see above is my free NFT that Aptos is giving out to anyone that uses a compatible wallet and wants to register an account. Here is how you can get one too...
First, you will need a Martian wallet. Go to the home page, add it to your browser and be sure to connect to the Aptos Testnet, not Devnet. Go to this page and follow the simple process. As mentioned above, you will need to create an account with Gmail, Github or Discord.
When your account is all set up you will only need to connect your wallet and mind the NFT. Remember that you can always get free Testnet Aptos tokens by clicking on the "Airdrop" button in the wallet.
1KX
I already wrote a guide on how to participate in 1KX testnet here but a friendly reminder is never a bad thing. There is still no final confirmation that regular testnet use will be enough for a token airdrop but everything points in that direction.
Make it your daily habit, click here and there a few times and give it some time. If any news regarding thins one comes out I will be the first to notify you.
Trustless
Another zkSync testnet Dapp that has an airdrop confirmed for early adopters and testers. This one requires a bit more effort but the steps are fairly simple:
Join their Discord channel and paste your wallet address in the Faucet channel. In a matter of seconds you should get a notification stating that your testnet ETH is ready.
This Ethereum is only good for using on the platform and if you need testnet ETH for gas fees go to the Goreli faucet page and request some. After all of that is done deposit your TruETH into the Trustless Dapp, play around with it a bit. For a detailed guide on the process be sure to consult this Twitter thread.
Completing Discord tasks and going the extra mile will probably be beneficial.
Primex Finance
The last one today is Primex. Another Testnet Dapp that you can find on the Rinkeby Testnet. You will need some testnet ETH so go to the faucet and request some. You can then mint more using the token faucet on the Primex website.
Mint all of the tokens and once completed go to lending and deposit the minted tokens into the corresponding buckets. Be sure to leave some that you can use for leverage trading. In case you need a detailed guide, here is another great Twitter thread that will guide you through the process.
To be eligible for the airdrop you will need to register as an early user here.
