Executive Summary
Okay, here's a breakdown of everything about farming the Monad testnet airdrop:
Monad's testnet is seen as the most valuable one around right now, potentially offering the largest airdrop ever from a testnet. The mainnet launch and Token Generation Event (TGE), where the airdrop is expected, will likely happen sometime this summer, possibly with more airdrops later.
Here's what you need to know and do to potentially qualify:
- Monad is a huge opportunity: It's hyped up with a massive community and high valuation, unlike some other projects that raised a lot but lack user engagement. This is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to make significant money from a testnet.
- Testnet transactions are key: The absolute minimum seems to be 20-25 transactions, but you should really aim for around 50 or more.
- Spread out your activity: Don't just do all your transactions in one day. Activity spread out over weeks and months is important. Doing things daily is a good approach.
- Accumulate MON testnet tokens: There might be a direct link between how much MON you hold and the size of your airdrop allocation. You should definitely farm as much MON as possible.
- Use the Official Faucet: This is one way to get MON tokens. You might need some ETH and have to solve a captcha, and there could be requirements like connecting your Discord. It's designed to prevent bots, which is good.
- Try the GasZip trick: This is a clever way to get MON testnet tokens easily. You can buy them using small amounts of real money (like $10-$15 worth) from other chains where you have funds (like Base). This is super convenient and might even qualify you for a LayerZero airdrop too, as it uses their tech.
- Consider specific NFTs & Staking: Holding or staking certain NFTs and tokens might also be part of the eligibility criteria.
- Madlads NFT: This is an expensive NFT (around 35 Solana) but has strong connections.
- Vessiverse NFT: A more affordable option, they also have versions on other chains like Berachain.
- Pythian NFT: The presenter owns one and believes they are well-positioned for allocation due to Pyth's connection to Monad. If you buy a Pythian, make sure to stake on the same account.
- Staking W Pithe: This is considered very valuable. The presenter sold Wormhole tokens, noting their declining value, especially predicting a further drop after the Monad airdrop.
- Pudgy Penguins & Little Pudgies NFTs: These could also potentially be included in criteria.
- Interact with Domain Name Services: Registering domains is a standard airdrop farming activity and is available on Monad.
- Nad Domains: Register domains here. You can also manage them, update records (like adding social links), and this counts as transactions. Buying multiple domains might be beneficial. These domains might even be tradable on Magic Eden.
- All Domains: This platform covers multiple chains including Monad, Eclipse, Sonic, and Solana. Registering on All Domains for Monad potentially makes you eligible for their airdrop as well, effectively farming two drops at once. Registering on all five chains covered might be a good move if you have the funds. They have a point system, and renewing domains (coming soon) will also be part of their criteria. Low-letter domains are usually more valuable.
- Use NadFun (Pump.fun clone): This is described as the "best shot" if you don't have much money. It's a popular platform where you can trade tokens, create your own token, and complete quests. Doing these activities helps you get more MON and rack up transactions easily because testnet tokens are essentially free (unless you bought them via GasZip). There's also a referral program, so using a referral link helps. Trading back and forth on NadFun quickly increases your transaction count.
- Engage with DEXes (Decentralized Exchanges): Trading is fundamental activity on a blockchain.
- Atlantis DEX: You can do swaps and staking here. Doing 20 trades daily allows you to mint an NFT, which provides transactions and might have value or contribute to allocation. This platform also has its own token coming, so you're farming two potential drops. You can also stake MON here.
- Madness Finance: This is called the "lead DEX" on Monad. It's another place to trade, including meme coins, and participate in tasks that help boost your activity level and transaction count.
- Try Orochi / Unprover (Deepin Project): This is a more passive way to interact. You log in, click a button, and it performs background calculations, earning you rewards for a future token launch. It's a free way to get another potential airdrop.
- Explore Magic Eden (NFT Marketplace): There are many NFT collections available.
- Buying and selling NFTs here adds transactions.
- Look for verified collections as they are more likely to be significant.
- Some collections are already expensive (like Chug Pass, Scrumpets, Seal Illuminati), but there are cheaper options (like certain Inus for 5 MON). Buying even a cheap one adds activity and might be flippable later.
- Some collections might have whitelist tokens.
- The Moland Dax collection is likely to be one of the bigger ones.
- Use Zona Finance (Prediction Market): You can participate in predictions here, which generates transactions. They have their own airdrop planned with a leaderboard, so participating makes you eligible for that as well.
- Check out ShMonad (Liquid Staking): This is another platform where you can stake your MON tokens. Interacting by staking, unstaking, and redeeming adds activity. This is a featured platform in the ecosystem.
- Look for other dApps: There are many other decentralized applications (estimated around 50) building on Monad due to the interest in its scalable technology (EVM-compatible, expected to perform well). Most of these dApps likely have their own faucets and potential future airdrops.
- NFTs and Staking are likely crucial: The presenter emphasizes that holding at least one of the mentioned NFTs or participating in staking is "100 percent going to be one of the criteria," possibly even all of them, given the connections within the ecosystem.
In short, to maximize your chances for the Monad airdrop and potential drops from its ecosystem projects, focus on getting MON tokens (especially via the faucet or GasZip), consistently interacting with various dApps (DEXes, domain services, NadFun, prediction markets), racking up transactions (aim for 50+ spread out), and considering holding/staking key NFTs or tokens if your budget allows.

What's up guys this is the one and only Light Crypto here and today finally we are gonna be doing an updated airdop guide on Monad which is still on testnet and obviously once we hit the mainnet that's when the airdop and the TGE are gonna be taking place and I'm assuming that's gonna be middle of summer or end of summer obviously the market conditions are gonna be having an effect on the actual launch and obviously at this point we do not have the tokenomics which also could mean that there might be a second airdop and third airdop which are gonna be taking place during the actual mainnet phase but let's now focus on the actual testnet stuff here today so first and foremost there's a one thing I need to drill into your head do I have your attention now do I have it which is the fact that Monad is the most valuable testnet there is it has perfected the Trinity hype community and valuation OG labs have maybe raised more money than Monad but it doesn't have the same user base it doesn't have the same hype and it doesn't have that community thing going on and they haven't even announced that there is gonna be an airdop they're probably gonna be giving to the private sales and obviously they had a node sale so those are gonna be accumulating a lot of the tokenomics so it's not gonna be as valuable thing to farm compared to Monad and all the other projects are nowhere near in valuation to Monad so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity guys to actually make some significant amount of money from a freaking testnet I repeat once again like this is likely gonna be the largest testnet based airdop known to crypto history this is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and yeah there's like things like mega 8th which could be like something we do a video on but I think they mentioned that testnet is not gonna matter now let's go into bit of the other speculation things over here so obviously the testnet transactions are gonna be playing a part but there are NFTs and staking things which could get you allocation we have Madlads over here and there's a lot of connections and things explained these prices over here are outdated because these are from January so numbers are very different now so we have Madlads pretty expensive NFT I think it's 35 Solana right now last time I checked we have Vessiverse be more affordable NFT they have also Barochain versions of their collection by Thedian this one I actually own alongside with Madlads I think they are very much in poised to do actual allocation because Pithe has been very connected to Monad and staking Pithe is another one so in case you're gonna be buying a Pythian make sure that you're gonna be staking on that same account and then we have staking W Pithe is a big deal of value and honestly I did sell all my wormhole wormhole is losing so much in valuation as of right now and it's really hard to justify buying it back and especially once the Monad drop happens it's gonna drop again in price so there's gonna be a direct correlation to that so if you get to buy the dip maybe you can consider it then we have Pudgy Penguins NFT it could include little Pudgies and the name Pudgies so those are also very much in the cards now in terms of this is my account so I made a fresh account for this whole video so we're gonna be seeing if you started out today will you be eligible so I have only have eight transactions over here the absolute minimum guys has to be like 20 25 and I always say you can't just do 25 transactions in a one single day it has to be spread out so obviously we are kind of far away in but given to the fact that we don't have the tokenomics yet we are not early but we are not late to the party so I think it's definitely within reason to still get an actual allocation by participating today you may not get the max allocation throughout this era probably potentially if you start out today obviously those other NFTs and stakings might actually contribute to that so if you are doing those already it might help you but I'm saying here that this is very important to understand activity over weeks and months and just do daily things and other thing which was mentioned somewhere which I've forgotten to find out about is the MON token on testnet so you want to accumulate much MON as possible because there might be a direct correlation on how much MON you have and how much of an airdop you're going to be getting I think they already mentioned that everybody who has MON are going to be getting an airdop allocation so farm it you can get this from the actual discord servers there's official faucet which you can use and this is you know you can get multipliers by connecting your discord and things like that there's going to be a captcha and there's going to be a requirement to have some ETH there so it's not for everybody which is good so there's kind of like a bot proof and maybe I already claimed out earlier today so I'm not able to claim out again but that's one way to do it but there's one genius trick that I invented maybe somebody else invented it but I thought about this so there's a gas chip which is a project that is using layer zero technology so this is going to be something that can potentially get you two different airdops layer zeros second airdop which is going to be taking place and also MONAD so you can actually buy testnet tokens on this thing this is very convenient so I'm going to be buying MONAD testnet tokens it says 50 minimum but that's arbitrary as I can put any number here and then on the inbound chain is going to be where I'm going to be paying this transaction from so I'm going to be finding a chain where I actually have money and maybe that's going to be base so I have money here I'm going to be moving ten dollars then I'm going to be copying my actual address over here where the money is going to be sent to and that's going to be here and then we're going to be hitting send and I'm going to be getting 143 MONAD actually it's now changed the number which is crazy um you gotta be careful about that guys but obviously I'm gonna be making 15 or something so 42 MONAD um 50 is not bad because with 150 MONAD you can buy a couple of blue chip NFTs uh in the chain which might be like very valuable as the chain launches I think MONAD is going to be like bear a chain it's going to be there's a bit of a cult style of a chain the NFT collections I'm not going to lie are not super impressive so far but they might evolve as main at launches and things get more interesting so this is a very good way to get MONAD and maybe there's going to be some type of a dollar cost calculation here like maybe there's another way to buy MONAD testing tokens very cheaply and then like you could maybe measure like okay MONAD's valuation is going to be ten dollars per token am I paying with dollars to buy basically a TGE price you know like that's how maybe counted like maybe this 42 MONAD here right now could be worth 45 dollars right now that could be a definite like possibility over here it could be one dollar token but we don't know that's speculation uh another things we obviously want here is as always on these airdop guides are actual domains so I'm going to be buying out a domain here and I'm going to be registering it you have to manage it obviously I think you can um transfer the ownership is there some type of record over here just put this google.com does this create a normal transaction for us confirming yes it does so you can do a couple of updates here and farm transactions by adding your socials over here you want to do and maybe you want to buy another one these domains maybe be able to be sold somewhere yes actually they are on magic eden then we have all domains which has we have featured this on our eclipse video there's soon sonic and solana as well if you have the money I would register all those five because all domains is going to be having their own airdop and doing that is you know be you're going to be eligible for all these three over here as well so I don't know if sonic is having a season two airdop soon I've invested in but they're also going to be doing an airdop and eclipse obviously is also there so I'm going to be doing another domain here youtube let's just do this random um this was earlier not working and let me buy this let me see if I can buy like a very very low letter domain those are always going to be very valuable um these are very small let's do it top kkkk okay um damn okay I'm just gonna buy two domains here I just don't really care um that's that's like you want to get like a very low letter domain and these are going to be giving you points all that more and there's other things you can do on here you can renew them coming soon apparently so this is going to be part of the criteria for all domains so you're doing two things at once and these can be flipped and these can be even bridged apparently or is this just a bridge project by yeah I think this is a bridge then we have a pump fun clone nat fun this is actually a pretty big project there's a lot of people actually using it and this is your best shot if you don't have the money guys to make more money so do these quests you can do a trade over here on the platform create your own token that's probably something you should do um let me see if I can find something random on on the computer to put out here okay and then we're gonna be putting nice monad kek kek kek and i'm gonna be creating a token over here um i'm gonna be buying worth of 0.4 of it creating that coin and this is like something you want to do i'm not expecting to make money with it but nat fun is obviously having their own form of uh the point system there's a referral program so please use my link this is a one way to really good lot of guys since the testing tokens are technically free unless you're using gas chip i really recommend just using that fan to basically buy and then you're just going to be having the ability to make more mon and then you can maybe buy some of these blue chips which we're going to be talking about in a second and obviously as i said in the beginning of the video more mon you have the better and obviously in this type of platform trading back and forth is going to be getting a lot of transactions so as i said minimum should be 25 but since it's a testnet we really should be talking about ballpark of 50 transactions at least to be eligible there are some websites where you can track your process another place where we can actually do a lot of things is atlantis so this is a dex and by doing 20 daily trades um you can basically so let's say i'm trading 0.25 mon here i'm gonna be swapping it um i'm gonna be getting these transactions over here and once you hit 20 transactions you are able to mint this nft and these nfts could be valuable on the secondary markets or well at least they're going to be giving you transactions and maybe you can buy a certain token from this marketplace which you can flip for better and get more mod so there's a chance of drops three percent legendary ultra rare and rare so another place where you can easily do farm two and they obviously have their own token coming out so you're doing two drops at the same time and they also have a staking opportunity over here might as well put one uh one here for staking as it is not a problem there are a couple of other liquid staking protocols obviously existing on bonad right now then we have a unprover this is like a deep in project where you basically just log in and you just basically hit the button and it will start automatically doing some calculations i don't think this is using your um internet or anything anything basically it's just like doing calculations randomly and you're going to be getting rewards and they are going to be having a token launch later on i think they have a private sale going on right now on spring.net which i've featured on the previous videos but enough about that so that's another one that you can do for free uh then lastly or almost last that we have magic eden and there are a lot of nft collections already here and it's obviously hard to tell which ones are going to be having trajectory and gravitas and the interest throughout the mainnet but these are like if i can contrast these monad prices into the gas chip thing these are pretty expensive so the chug pass the scrumpets already have value but there are some cheap stuff here like um these inus which are five monads so i look um i'm just gonna buy one here because maybe maybe maybe i can just make a flip here i like huskies i like dogs so hey let's just do a transaction over here we get some trades and maybe we can flip it maybe it will be more valuable on the mainnet and there are some um whitelist tokens here um the moland dax is probably going to be one of the more bigger collections and then we had what else we had this is another one that was kind of interesting over here and look for the verified ones those are the ones that you want to focus on spikes this one seal illuminati but this is already kind of expensive so this is already 50 i might have to look into another place where i can buy cheap monad but this would be another one i would buy if i had the actual money to do so so this is being somewhat hyped on the thing and i don't know if this is related into happy seals sappy seals sorry so that's another one and there's a lot of other cheaper nfts here which you can buy and try to flip to get more transactions then we have a prediction market over here this is another one you can participate on and they also have an airdop going on because there's a leaderboard over here let me actually refresh this so i can actually get access to it and there are many other dApps in the whole ecosystem which i'm not featuring in this video because there's so many like maybe 50 or something which is another detriment of like yeah this is potentially like very very valuable like ecosystem in terms of like many airdrops that may happen no what i meant to say that there's a lot of developers building here because a lot of interest on this chain and its technology is being spouted as like a very very scalable thing i mean it will not be tsu and aptos but in terms of evm chains it's likely going to be doing pretty well so that's another one and most of these websites do have their own chains as well so that's something you need to understand sorry faucets not chains and another one is sj sa monad this is a liquid staking platform here and it's another place where you can basically park your monad i think you're going to be getting some type of interest on it i'm not 100 sure but it's another one where you can interact and unstake and redeem and all that stuff so this is another one that have been featured by a lot of things and these can be put into other d5 protocols kuru kormans and cypher and then lastly i have this thing called madness finance this is another one which which is apparently the lead decks built on monad so this is another place where you can do a lot of trades and other types of things so if you're looking for meme coins and things to trade and do the tasks which keep your activity levels up so sometimes having these tasks are going to be helping you out quite a lot to rack up more transactions but that's basically what i have to share you about monad here today this is a good collection of different dApps which have their own drops coming out and they allow you to rack those activity transactions on the chain as well do not forget these nfts and staking capabilities because at least some of them at least one of them on this list are 100 going to be one of the criteria or all of them it's kind of up in the air but it's definitely something that could happen given out that so many of these people are very connected to each other and that's basically what i have to share with you guys make sure to subscribe like if you have any questions well ask them in the comments below what chain you would like to be covered next video well let me know in the comment section thanks for watching see you soon
