Executive Summary

Okay, here's a summary of the video about high-level airdrop farming, focusing on Aztec Network nodes and updates on other projects.

This video dives into strategic airdrop farming, specifically targeting Aztec Network by running sequencer nodes, which they believe could lead to a five-figure airdrop due to low competition among node runners. It also provides quick updates on farming opportunities for Caldera (free domains), Radius (Mission 2), and Spheron Network (new Galxe quests), while also discussing the utility of AI for coding tasks related to node setup.

Here are the key takeaways and technical details discussed:

  • Aztec Network Node Farming for Airdrop Potential:

    • There's a strong belief that Aztec Network has a high chance of a significant airdrop, potentially five figures or more.
    • The project is considered "hot" and well-funded ($120 million).
    • Running a sequencer node is a highly under-farmed aspect of the Aztec Network compared to general user activities like the public testnet (account abstraction, private voting/transfers). There are only about 5,600 active nodes globally versus potentially 60,000+ general users.
    • If running a sequencer node is included in the airdrop criteria, especially with significant weighting, node runners are positioned at "the top of the top" for receiving a large allocation.
    • Past projects like Celestia have given five-figure and six-figure airdrops to node runners, highlighting the potential.
    • Aztec Network doesn't have tokenomics information out yet, but even a modest allocation (like 12%) towards a general airdrop could be very rewarding for node runners if weighted heavily.
    • Don't FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) if the cost is prohibitive. Running nodes is optional but seen as a way to maximize a potential opportunity if you're "all in" on Aztec.
  • Methods for Running an Aztec Sequencer Node:

    • Option 1: Run on a VPS (Virtual Private Server).
      • This is the route if you have experience with coding or using terminals.
      • Refer to the official Aztec Network guide on GitHub for hardware requirements and step-by-step installation instructions.
      • It's generally cheaper than Easy Node, with the main costs being electricity and VPS maintenance, but requires technical setup yourself.
    • Option 2: Run on Easy Node.
      • This option requires no coding.
      • Easy Node is a third-party service that runs the node for you for a monthly subscription fee.
      • The price for Aztec on Easy Node starts at $29.90 per month.
      • A 5% discount is available via a provided referral link.
      • It's described as a very easy way to get exposure to node-based airdrops.
      • To purchase on Easy Node: Connect your EVM wallet (Metamask or Rabbi), select Aztec, choose "Purchase with crypto," select USDT on the BSC network, copy the payment address, send USDT, wait for confirmation, then check your "node folio" on Easy Node to see the deployed node.
      • The payment is a service fee to Easy Node for running the node for you, not staking crypto directly on the Aztec network itself (as a truly decentralized node might). This distinction is important because some users find paying upfront for nodes concerning.
  • Claiming Discord Roles based on Node Running:

    • Aztec Network has recently introduced Discord roles specifically for node operators, which are seen as a strong indicator that node activity could be part of airdrop criteria.
    • Apprentice Role: You can claim this role once your node is running (either via VPS or Easy Node).
      • Go to the Aztec Discord, verify, navigate to the #operators-start-here channel.
      • Use the command /operator-start and provide your wallet address, the current block number, and proof (details likely in Discord instructions).
      • Refresh your profile to see the Apprentice role.
    • Guardian Role: This is a newer, higher-tier role.
      • You must first have the Apprentice role.
      • You might need to be "discovered" by the Aztec team for having a node doing good work.
      • Use the command /check-IP with your node's IP address in the #upgrade-role channel (only visible if you qualify) to see if you've qualified for the Guardian role.
  • Updates on Other Airdrop Projects:

    • Caldera: A free .era domain name service is now available. Connect the same EVM wallet used for previous Caldera farming activities and claim any available username without fees.
    • Radius: Mission 2 is live. This mission requires engaging on X: liking and retweeting a specific post related to SBB and Lighthouse, and then quote tweeting it with a creative explanation of how SBB and Lighthouse help Ethereum in simple terms. You must have completed Galxe Quest 1. Submit your quote tweet link in the provided Google form. They are giving codes to the 20 best answers daily (part of a larger 2000 code distribution).
    • Spheron Network: A new Galxe quest under the "Road to TGE Partner Quest" series is live, featuring a new partner, Warden Protocol. Both Spheron and Radius are expected to have constant updates on Galxe and X; turning on notifications for their accounts or AlphaDrop's updates is recommended.
  • General Farming Strategy & Tools:

    • The overall airdrop farming strategy is to participate in many potential opportunities to increase the chances of hitting the few projects that yield significant five or six-figure airdrops.
    • Node farming, especially with Easy Node, is viewed as an easy way to get exposure to high-potential drops, though it costs money.
    • AI tools like Grok are highly recommended for tasks requiring coding, such as setting up VPS nodes. Grok is considered the best AI model for coding and quantitative reasoning based on recent evaluations (though it requires an X premium subscription). AI has made complex coding tasks much easier compared to the past.
  • Community & Outlook:

    • Asks for community feedback on bringing back trading streams, as views have been low, but there's interest. Suggests potentially integrating them with airdrop streams.
    • Mentions interest in creating AlphaDrop merchandise (hoodies) based on community requests.
    • Notes the BTC market outlook is currently positive after the weekly close above $104k, hoping it stays above $93k for the month. Will provide urgent crypto news updates.

Transcript

and we're live boys welcome back to Alpha Drop my name is Ron Martin here and today we're gonna be talking about running a node for a specific project that has a high chance of receiving a five-figure airdrop this project is hot this project is well funded this project is Aztec Network yes sir now I know you guys are farming Aztec Network but there is one part that is still highly under farm I mean the ratio to general users is insanely low and if this part is included as the airdrop criteria then we are gonna be eating real good I'm very very optimistic about this project okay so we'll also talk about some updates for a couple of the other projects that we're farming the airdrops and then after yeah after we talked about some Q&A as well afterwards yes sir so stay tuned to end mm-hmm without further ado let's dive straight in yeah sure okay so very recently Aztec Network their team has included roles in their discord and to obtain these roles is a very specific requirement you'll need to run sequencer nodes on Aztec Network okay sequencer nodes on Aztec Network now before you run sequencer nodes make sure you cover all the bases first Martin here has done a full guide on the Aztec Network public testnet where you can create an account abstraction account then do private voting private tokens transferring so that's the basics now if you want to take it a step further you'll need to be running a sequencer node okay the first role that we're gonna be targeting is the apprentice role and in order to run a sequencer node there are two options number one you run on a VPS so if you know if you've been running VPS you already know what you're doing you know how to code on terminals you can refer to this guide on github by the team on the hardware requirements as well as the steps for installing the depends and dependencies and tools okay now the other part is to run on easy node and this does not require code however it is quite high cost because if you remember easy nodes we use this to farm Babylon right the it's a monthly based subscription and for Aztec they are starting the price at $29.90 per month so we have a referral link down in the description as well in the air droplet website so if you use our referral link and if you're interested in using an easy node to run on Aztec network you'll get a five percent discount now the reason why I'm really optimistic about Aztec network running a sequencer node can be a very big deal because if you look at how many active nodes throughout the world that are live it's only five thousand five hundred ninety active nodes and if they include this right sequencer nodes plus you get the role on discord and they include that in the airdrop criteria you are at the top of the top it's a general user ratio to this is insanely low there are more than I think 60 70 thousand people that are actively doing the account abstraction method the one that Martin has showed you but very few people are running nodes on Aztec network okay yeah I mean with a hundred and twenty million dollars in funding with big ventures backing this project that could be huge and there's only sixty thousand six thousand sorry active nodes running you'll be at the top like Ron says exactly and as of now Aztec network has no tokenomics yet but if they come out with their tokenomics info with even twelve percent allocated towards the general airdrop section and within that twelve percent a lot of the weight of distribution will be to node runners it can be really really good opportunity we've seen this with Celestia already two years ago by the way five figures and six-figure airdrops for the people that have been running nodes on Celestia I covered this way back in 2022 on box mining calm when I was just writing the articles right okay so before we dive straight in don't FOMO okay if you don't want to spend money to run on easy node you don't have to but if you've been farming with us for the past two years you know that running node simply on easy node is a very easy way to get exposure to these airdrops the only way that we can get wrecked here is if Aztec network does not include this as part of their airdrop criteria but I think the fact that they are recently introducing apprentice roles on their discord as well as even newer the guardian role okay the guardian role is the newest upgrade that you can get where is it here guardian note role okay then we can be eating good okay all right now back to the step-by-step guide so one option is to run on a VPS so you can you refer to github for the hardware requirements and the installation step-by-step guide for easy node okay once you go there you'll just need to connect your wallet you can use EVM wallets metamask or rabbi click on Aztec so once you go to easy node Aztec right here okay now there's also several other projects that are offering their services as well via easy node you can also do this for Sonium you can do this for Unichain I think some of our viewers have been doing it on Eclipse as well og labs I know the even og people here I can layer a long time ago okay so yes then click purchase select purchase with crypto and you'll need to select USDT on the BSC network copy the payment address send the USDT wait for the payment confirmation then once confirm go back to your node full node folio because I've been having a struggling to know now you node folio node folio here and that's in the left side and then you'll be able to see that your node is deployed on Aztec network okay so either way if you're running if you're deploying a node via VPS or easy node you can claim the apprentice role so go to Aztec networks discord verify go to operators slash start here so right here operators slash start here and type in the operator slash operator start enter your address block number and proof once you've had your node running then you'll be able to refresh and see that you have the apprentice role in your profile then once you have that running a couple of days and you can see that your node is doing work you can check to see if you qualified for the guardian role so if you've been discovered by their team then you'll be able to go to upgrade role you'll only be able to see this once you have qualified and you have the apprentice role then use command slash check IP paste your IP address to see if you qualified for the role okay so this is the newest one that for the discord role of Aztec network okay all right so that's pretty much it for Aztec network don't follow if you don't have 2990 to run this every month we recommend not doing it but if you're really all in on Aztec network this is a great way to maximize a good opportunity for a potential five-figure airdrop node farming is real a lot of organizations are doing it they're pooling resources so that they can run nodes on networks and with Aztec network as Martin has said 120 million funding and recently they kick-started a whole new campaign of revival for aetherium development this is a good opportunity not to be overlooked that okay all right the next up project we're gonna be talking about is Caldera I see one of our viewers here Pablo Sacom is saying Caldera domain is free now yes so the last update we did on Caldera was the super board campaign way back in 2024 so this was the last update now the newest update for Caldera is you can sign in with your EVM wallets the same wallet that we've used to farm Caldera in the past and claim your name service your dot era username so there's no fees required just type in whatever name that is available and click and you'll be able to have your username okay the next one is radius so mission 2 is already out it involves this specific X post right here you're gonna need to like and retweet this post and of course having completed galaxy quest 1 which we talked about last stream quote tweet the SBB post below so this post right here explain how SBB and lighthouse help ethereum in simple terms all right be as creative as you can don't be boring when you're doing this one then you share that quote tweet link in the Google form here and then a day because this post was yesterday but you have about a day left to do this and they'll be giving codes to the 20 best answers okay so remember they have 2,000 codes that they're giving away over the next month this is gonna be a lot of missions if you're gonna be farming radius this is mission number two mission number two exactly and next one sphere on network so another update again on the galaxy side road to TGE partner quest is live the new partner they've included is warren protocol familiar name we farm this last year before Martin joined even warden protocol is out so farm this one next step so there's also going to be new updates as well for sphere on so whenever you think of sphere on network think of radius they're gonna have constant updates on galaxy as well as on their X so if you're gonna be targeting these two projects make sure you have notifications on for radius and sphere on network or have notification on for alpha drop because we'll be updating you guys every single day yes sir you know the drill man yes of course okay all right that's pretty much it let's answer some questions how are you guys doing let us know down below put down your honest thoughts let's talk about it yeah yeah Zeno playing maple story and oh yes we forgot to cover maple story and because that day the server was down a Pablo is also grinding characters mm-hmm so Pablo is the one who said Caldera domain is free now mmm I book a Tony says is it advisable to still play the Aztec playground testnet yes it's to cover your basis to cover your grounds of course a crypto crazy minor says I don't trust Aztec I don't trust any project which charges money upfront for privilege of running nodes so yeah of course it's very scary running nodes at first it's like a lot of codes and you realize all this operation does have costs there's maintenance costs as well every month but Aztec Network is a huge project they're an L2 running privacy features for aetherium if you ever believe that aetherium will still remain the king of alts then the ones that are building unique features for aetherium with Aztec Network being the first mover in terms of privacy features then this is a big deal and I've we have met the Aztec Network team during events they're actually here based here in Asia so we saw their booths we talked to their BD in Web3 festival remember yeah so yeah they're built well you know they're their answers are very PR trained but yeah at least yeah so you know the drill mm-hmm running on VPS is cheaper depends on with what hardware you're using so the expensive ones maintenance cost wise is usually just your electricity bill and your oh yeah etc etc okay but yes it is generally cheaper but you need to set it up by yourself hey dude the bit the best thing now because I remember when we were doing node setup for Babylon with Michael back then on box mining plus remember how difficult it was to set up on terminal so but if you know what you're doing there it's easy for you but if you if you're a beginner when it comes to setting up a VPS honestly dude honestly use Grok Grok is the best AI model because it's the most expensive you don't believe me I always use this this website as a reference to which model is the best right now where is it actually artificial intelligence comparison there we go I've never I've never really seen an analysis this one so you can see that so you can see all right we're looking at the math index so grok is number one right that's what I've been hearing as well yes math index 04 mini and grok 3 mini are at 96 okay so this is a very good graph especially nowadays that we've been coding a lot we want to be looking at which language model is really good for our tasks intelligence evaluations humanities last exam which is reasoning and knowledge coding okay yeah I mean they might see it's expensive right quantitative reasoning you need X premium to unlock rock and you want the good one mm-hmm a lot more for Scout yeah Michael said to me hey you know how lucky you are now because two years ago your head would have imploded if you had been using if you've been coding all of this and the fact that you're also trying to use telegram with botfather look at you now like you're you know how to code and I was like yes it's all grok and he's like oh yeah of course okay so pick whatever one you want to do you have to pay per month the first time a crypto scam is scared monthly well easy node has been around for a while any networks that have that that invite sequencer nodes or verification nodes or any different type of nodes easy node is that third party that does the work for you of course there's maintenance cost there so you need to pay them all right work around that VPS mm-hmm Chris the one says guys do you remember space which I mentioned and you guys checked out they just launched their beta early access and I lucky that my wallet was whitelisted in the cleanest website I ever seen let's see space is it the space.io yeah this one mmm the end oh yeah the nft marketplace with 100% revenue sharing May 25 wait that's not that's not it what's the new one beta huh mmm where where no way are you confusing with this this one there's no way yo is it this one is it this one Chris the one Chris the one let us know check monad X account just suggested that stand track with on monad testnet oh yes there's also mini apps that you can play around we're on the monad ecosystem via telegram kuru exchange rare bet sports kizzy mobile opinion labs we know that one fantasy top we know that one lever bet match geden dusted loot go plot to earn plot to earn there we go now a lot of you guys are grinding monad really hard if the node is was real and decentralized you'd be able to run it with your own computer and you would need crypto to stake not USDT on PNV it's not staking its payment service right you want them to run the node for you so you're paying them USDT okay all right you guys have been lovely remember to keep farming and uh let us know also if you want trading streams again because we noticed that the views on trading streams have been low uh honestly that the feedback we got was if the views are low for the morning trading streams then we're not gonna do them but I really want to do them so show some support and uh let us know or we can just incorporate it after the airdrop stream so you guys let us know what you guys want for now we're going to be focusing a lot more doubling down on airdrops and I think really the key is you know I think year to date there's always going to be a select few a handful of airdrops that really give us the five figures six figures and our approach is really just to cover every single one of them and to find the ones luckily if we are luckily to just get the five six figures all right and hopefully we will get them with you guys so we got the movement we got d-book yeah so what's next right many I mean there's a bunch more out there you can look at the catalogs of our videos but let's just see we've been farming everything is looking great just let us know what you guys want will be alpha drop merch we can make that happen actually yeah we can make that happen yeah we need new hoodies yeah we need new hoodies and someone actually asked for a uh merch giveaway a hoodie giveaway so my experience with retail and clothing and making websites doing e-commerce stuff I can definitely make that happen let us know if you guys want that yeah man oh Chris this wants the trading stream back okay mm-hmm all right so so far there's nothing much new to update for the timeframe yeah for BTC because we already have the weekly close above 104k so things are looking good now but that yeah if we don't get close below 93k for this month and it's gonna be good so yeah but if there's anything urgent in the whole crypto space cryptocurrencies as a whole we'll let you guys know we definitely have to talk about that if there's any crypto news we'll cover that with you guys so just make sure you hit the like button subscribe to the channel with notifications on you guys have been great
