Executive Summary
This video dives into crucial updates on existing testnet airdrop campaigns and introduces a promising new one. It covers actionable steps for getting involved with Helios, provides long-awaited news on Mango Network and the highly anticipated Linea and MetaMask token distributions, and reminds you about new tasks for HeyElsa and voting opportunities for Soy users.
Here's a breakdown of the key information:
Helios Testnet Airdrop (New)
- Helios is a new modular Layer 1 blockchain aiming to solve fragmented ecosystems through interoperability, on-chain automation, and developer sustainability. It stands out by allowing validators to stake a variety of tokens (like Ethereum, Cosmos, BNB Chain) rather than just its native token, decentralizing control and boosting security.
- The Cosmos team is officially following Helios on X, suggesting Cosmos's ATOM token might be one of the first integrated for native staking. This is a heads-up for Atom stakers to pay attention.
- To interact with the testnet: connect your EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow) to testnet.helioschain.network.
- Actionable Steps:
- Connect your wallet and sign the transaction.
- Claim faucet tokens (note: the faucet was buggy and being fixed at the time of recording, so check back later). These tokens are essential for the next steps.
- Mint a badge (detailed steps are available on Boxmining.com).
- Interact with the Helios portal by delegating (staking) HLS tokens, and bridging assets from Sepolia, Fuji, Binance testnet, and Amoy Polygon testnet to Helios. Governance isn't live yet, but staking might unlock it.
- Repeat these interactions daily to increase your chances of an airdrop.
- The testnet is "under farmed" with only 12,000 users, which is a good sign for potential rewards.
- Complete Helios quests on Zealy, which include social tasks and proof submissions of your on-chain interactions.
- Crucial Step: Link your wallet to the Helios Discord server in the "link-wallet" channel. This is how they track XP, assign roles, and determine airdrop eligibility. If you don't do this, your interactions won't count.
- Helios uses a two-base XP system:
- Level Roles: Tied directly to your on-chain interactions in the Helios portal, with levels going up to 300+. Achieving high levels like "Genesis Council" or "Elite Helios Testnet Pioneer" requires significant grinding, potentially taking months.
- User Behavior Base Roles: These are manually assigned by the Helios team based on your community contributions, like providing alpha or creating content. Automatic roles are also given for early NFT badge support, for instance.
- The overall sentiment is that Helios "might cook, might not cook," but as airdrop farmers, the goal is "farm it anyway" for potential rewards, regardless of whether it's "another modular Layer 1 blockchain." The gamified process of leveling up is a fun incentive for dedicated users.
Mango Network (Airdrop Update)
- The long wait for Mango Network is nearing its end, with its mainnet launching in just a few days.
- It's expected that the Token Generation Event (TGE) and the airdrop will occur around the same time as the mainnet launch, as the native token is needed for gas fees.
- A small incentive was offered for users who shared their excitement about the mainnet launch on X, with 10 participants sharing $300.
- There's a note of caution: "don't expect much from Mango" due to "a lot of drama from their team." While it might just be "dust" (minimal rewards), it's still considered a positive to finally have closure on a project farmed a while ago.
Linea and MetaMask (Airdrop Update - Big News!)
- Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys (the company behind MetaMask), confirmed plans for tokenization of their products.
- Chronological Order: Linea's TGE and airdrop will come first, followed by a potential MetaMask token and airdrop for MetaMask users. These tokens will be synergistic.
- There are no front-end tasks required for either Linea or MetaMask now; past interactions are what will count.
- Expect the Linea token airdrop in about two to three months, potentially in the summer, aligning with a common theme for ERC-20 based token airdrops.
HeyElsa (Airdrop Update)
- New tasks are available on Superboard for HeyElsa's "pre-TGE rush" campaign, named "Elsa's pre-TGE rush, meet your crypto co-pilot."
- These tasks involve actions you might have already done, such as swapping on HeyElsa, bridging via HeyElsa, starting your day with G.Elsa, acquiring a HeyElsa campaign pass PFP, and using HeyElsa across multiple chains (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC), as well as utilizing Li.Fi and Bungee protocol.
- These quests help maximize your points for a potential HeyElsa airdrop.
Soy Overflow 2025 (Community Voting)
- Community voting for Soy Overflow 2025 (a hackathon) is now open.
- Eligibility: You must have previously interacted with Soy protocols or hold Soy tokens that have interacted with smart contracts at the time of the snapshot. Fresh wallets cannot vote.
- Actionable Step: Vote for your favorite projects across nine categories (e.g., AI, infrastructure, meme coins, DeFi). Vote for one project in each category, totaling nine votes.
- There's a $25,000 community prize pool sponsored by Hippo and Sudang, distributed among voters whose choices align closest with the final hackathon results.
- Voting requires a small gas fee in Soy.
- The presenters are "very optimistic" and "very bullish on Soy long term" due to its history of "impressive and surprising airdrops," with some community members making significant gains (four to five figures) from past Soy ecosystem airdrops like Deepbook and Walrus Protocol.
Other Airdrop Mentions & Community Discussion
- Theoric AI: If you're looking for an airdrop soon, Theoric AI is farmable now, though you're considered "pretty late" if you haven't started. Continue to farm and stay active to rack up points before its TGE.
- Magic Newton: Farming has ended, and users are now awaiting the TGE announcement. It's expected that NFTs will play a significant role in filtering out Sybil attacks (duplicate accounts trying to game the system).
- Yup AI: This project is on the list to be reviewed for a future guide.
- Top 3 High-Value Airdrops: Monad, Hyper EVM, and Aztec Network are highlighted as high-value targets.
- Bear Chain: While active addresses are decent, the Total Value Locked (TVL) significantly dropped after March and April, which is concerning for a proof-of-liquidity chain.
- The team is working towards a more consistent streaming schedule, but current focus on mastering AI tools and streamlining processes is causing busy periods. They're also developing a new community platform for direct interaction and alpha sharing.

we're live boys welcome back to Alpha Drop my name is Ron my name is Martin and today we're gonna be covering some updates on testnet airdrops there's a new testnet airdrop that you can interact with as well as three updates on the existing testnet campaigns that we have been farming and we're very looking forward to claiming some good airdrops so stick around and let's dive straight in let's go smash up the like button mm-hmm okay let's dive into airdrop testnet number one Helios so very recently Helios okay on X they announced the testnet campaign go oh god I gotta login okay two sec two sec where were my hair have you talked about this one before no this is an old project isn't it there's another one that has a similar name as well Helios but this one itself is a new layer one Helios layer one okay so June 12 Helios testnet is live anyone with an invite link can now join explore the chain and start earning XP for their upcoming airdrop so it's confirmed there's a XP system you grind up the XP system and you have a very good chance of getting some solid airdrops we'll also dive into the tier system that they're using for their XP system okay but first and foremost what is Helios blockchain they're a modular layer one blockchain designed to address the limitations of fragmented ecosystems by focusing on interoperability on chain automation and long-term developer sustainability unlike traditional layer ones that rely on singular token ecosystems Helios allows validators to stake a variety of tokens from established ecosystems like ethereum cosmos and bnb chain thereby decentralizing control and enhancing network security so this is this is not the first time we've seen a project done this we've seen other projects also implementing other tokens that you can natively stake bear chain is one example Helios they can try that so so far we have cosmos team following them officially on X so maybe this will be their first onboarding ecosystem partner to natively stake atom tokens so that could be down the line pay attention here okay my fellow atom stakers now let's dive straight into how to interact with the Helios testnet airdrop so first and foremost you're gonna want to go to testnet Helios chain dot network and connect your EVM wallet so Helios layer one is EVM so you can use MetaMask rabi wallet or rainbow wallet now a bit buggy here you'll complete step one very easy which is to connect wallet step two sign transaction then step three they'll ask you to claim faucet however there's a problem today the team has said the faucet isn't working at the moment we're fixing it and we'll let you know as soon as it's working so maybe come back a couple of hours after you watch this and check to see if you can claim the faucet this is very important you need to claim the tokens from this page because the next step in step four will be to mint the badge we've laid out the full step here on box mining.com you can refer to the full article for the step by step right so step four will be claiming the badge and then step five after you've completed all the steps you can start interacting with the Helios portal which will look like this okay so connect your EVM wallet and there's a ton of thing that you can do you can delegate your HLS token so you can stake your tokens you can bridge assets from each Sepolia to Helios you can even bridge from Fuji Binance testnet and Amoy Polygon testnet and then they don't have governance yet but I think once you've staked or delegated your HLS tokens the governance portal will open so very straightforward and this is quite under farmed there's only 12 000 users using Helios as of now okay now apart then you repeat every day if you want to increase your chances now the next one to do is to complete Helios on Zeely yay we got another Zeely task oh my god our favorite this is Ron's favorite this is my favorite this is so fun to do but yes they have a Helios uh Zeely quest that you can do all very straightforward all social uh related as well as proof submissions of your on-chain interaction on Helios testnet now I think the most important step here is step eight you'll need to link your wallet to their discord server once you go to the discord server go to link wallet here and you'll need to connect your your wallet the same wallet you use to farm Helios testnet here on discord because they're going to be tracking uh xp uh role assignment and airdrop eligibility so none of the things that you do matters if you do not do this exactly yes cover this ground this is very important to do and now let's talk about the xp system itself so look let's go to level up feed oh sorry general xp feed so they have uh oh not here is it this one two sec where did we go roles explain here we go so they have a two xp base system this one xp base roles level roles is uh tied directly with your on-chain interaction here on helios testnet and helios portal you can see the level goes all the way up to level 300 plus genesis council elite helios testnet pioneer so good luck if you keep grinding try to get level 300 uh getting to level 300 will be a little bit difficult it could take you a month uh minimum i've done discord farming before zion one took me three months to get to uh level seven out of ten which is very difficult okay level 300 that's crazy i mean is it just by chatting no it's by on-chain interaction okay okay okay all right then the other one that you can do is user behavior base so interacting with community members providing alpha creating good content for helios blockchain which is right here tags reflect your testnet behavior and contribution style some are automatically granted others are assigned by the helios team so just assume uh oh sorry right here so these ones are manual okay these ones the team will uh look at your activity and they say if it's good enough we'll give you those roles they'll give you proposal master if you pass governance proposal they'll give you contributor if you're an early nft badge supporter so on so on these ones are automatic these ones are very easy to do if you've been interacting with the helios testnet okay okay so very straightforward for helios testnet might cook might not cook to be honest farm it anyway farm it anyway okay but my first impression is why do we need another modular layer one blockchain when we already have bear chain doing proof of liquidity but still if they have uh airdrop system let's farm it anyway yeah that's true we've seen other projects do this exact same thing but as airdrop farmers you just want the money so we're just going to interact and hopefully get rewards yeah the gamified process here try to get to level 300 you're a gamer you want to get to the highest level you want to get to challenger tier and get to the genesis council if you want a min max helios blockchain testnet okay now let's talk about some airdrop updates that we have been waiting for for a very long time and i know that a lot of you have been asking us the same questions in our past live streams now we have some good information because the team has finally dropped these long awaited hey mango network mango network we've been waiting the we've been waiting the long wait is finally over uh mango mainnet is launching in just a few days so they still haven't said you know the tge and the airdrop itself but usually if the mainnet comes very shortly afterward the tge itself will come because hello we need the native token to pay for gas right so uh expect the tge and the airdrop to come on the same day as the mango mainnet if you need more questions ask xeno xeno is one of the i think mods or contributors of uh mango network okay let's freaking go xeno xeno is og slash helper for mango os network okay uh this post itself is also an extra incentive for you to do so uh they're asking us what are you most excited about for the upcoming mainnet share your thoughts in the comments and 10 lucky participants will share 300 so 300 divided by 10 30 30 30 okay xeno says don't expect much from mango a lot of drama from their team god damn man but hey it's okay it's okay at least we okay yeah at least we got some closure it's over with and we've harmed this before right so okay now this one is a much bigger news so hey everyone's asking about the linear token airdrop everyone's asking about the metamask token airdrop so joseph lubin who is the co-founder of ethereum and founder of consensus right consensus makes metamask so uh one of the comments that he got was you're probably so tired of this question but will there be uh even a metamask token not a governance token even a meme token would do this guy's really settling for less yeah i can understand the difficulty of making it fair wallet agent consistency of use would be a great metric for an airdrop so joseph lubin said we have a short and medium term plan slash strategy it involves protocolization i've never said that word before of our current products and other initiatives and web3 protocols need tokens first out of the gate will be linear when it's supposed to be march right but yeah if you're saying uh short to medium term how long is that gonna be but a in terms of chronological order linear tge airdrop first then a potential metamask token and airdrop for metamask users soon more to come on this and they will be synergistic with one another mm-hmm yep we see a bunch of community members here hopefully it's already way too late bro happens before world war iii is world war iii coming guys i don't know let me know so okay uh maybe expect two three months for the linear token airdrop i'm thinking maybe summer that could be a theme for the ethereum uh culture themselves we notice a lot of erc20 based token airdrops coming in like summer okay so linear then metamask okay nice uh also just to sum up nothing to do for mango uh mango network nothing to do for linear nothing to do for metamask in terms of front end tasks okay uh unless you're contributing on the back end or if you're contributing on the social uh etc etc there you can maximize but nothing on the front end nothing we can directly interact with okay i hope that's clear now the last update for an airdrop is hey elsa hey we love hey elsa talk to hey elsa help me swap these tokens okay so there's new tasks that you can do on super board so the campaign name is elsa's pre-tge rush meet your crypto co-pilot so if you've already uh interacted with elsa hey elsa you can interact with the super board if you haven't seen our hey elsa guide you can watch our previous stream we'll tag the video up here okay so very straightforward you you want to maximize your points farming from hey elsa interact with super board this is an official campaign from the team themselves so 10 quests swap on hey elsa bridging via hey elsa the things that we've already done start your day with g elsa acquire the hey elsa campaign pass uh pfp from hey elsa hey elsa on base arbitrum optimism bsc so there's multi-chain usage as well relay l the uh li-fi and bungee protocol very straightforward okay all right so that's it for our airdrop updates how you guys doing yo what's up what's up brothers what's good my brothers what's up chris yo glenn virgiliana football tales is here and we have life reaper who's been gone for a while but yeah man we remember you how you doing life reaper i remember you will mango cook that's a great question you know says a lot of drama in the team yeah but then again there's no expectations this was things that we farmed early this year so was it this year it was last year last late last year yeah so yeah uh you know not much not much is known about their revenue model apart from funding and maybe other sponsorships that they have nothing on the mainnet side so i don't think it will cook that hard but hey let's see let's see yep i'm seeing dust there's being a fire crypto says yeah people are expecting dust but hopefully they surprise us i'm hoping for that oh right sorry uh saijin joseph says did you guys vote on soy overflow yeah yeah i forgot to mention this thank you for reminding so soy uh if you are a soy user okay check to see if you qualified to vote in overflow 2025 uh this one right here okay go to soy x soy overflow 2025 community voting is now open so previously they've done a voting for builders and developers now it's for community front end users okay so uh in here there's a bunch of categories that you can vote for do you want to see mine let me see if i have slush wallet here oh no i don't have slush wallet no you do not is that slush that is slush oh yeah but i didn't import my evm so here uh your voice matters there's a 25 000 community dollar prize pool sponsored by hippo uh oh sudang sudang is sponsoring this don't you still have a big position in sudan yeah i do yeah the prize pool will be distributed evenly among the voters whose voting choices come closest to the final hackathon results how voting works eligible users so you must be eligible so if you've previously interacted with soy protocols you're for sure eligible but if you're using a fresh wallet you cannot vote with above a threshold level of soy tokens so you must have soy tokens also that have interacted with smart contracts and soy at the time of snapshot are eligible to vote vote for your favorite projects across all nine tracks so there's nine categories there's uh ai there's uh infrastructure there's uh i think meme coins there's a d5 protocol um vote vote for one of there for one of each in each track one in each category don't vote for all i think i just voted for one in each so nine in total okay then once you voted you're gonna need to pay a little bit of soy for gas and that's it okay so who knows maybe it's not just the 25 000 community award award prize pool we're going for but this is also a good footprint to establish for soy we're very optimistic very bullish on soy long term a lot of impressive and surprising airdrops that they've given over the past months and a couple of our community members made high four figures even low five figures from soy ecosystem airdrops such as deep book such as walrus protocol very proud of them 100 soon 100 soon maybe next cycle oh lord soy token 100 hey if soy i mean if solana can hit 300 yeah why can't so you hit 100 eh maybe not this cycle but the next one yeah who knows okay so thank you so much for the heads up cygene joseph thank you for reminding me oh let's make sergeant joseph mod mmm bro thank you so much for always tuning in with us man sergeant joseph yes sir let's make you a mod bro uh what else cherrywell says bros can we do streams on like a schedule or something i feel a lot of people including myself haven't been able to catch the stream maybe every sunday at a specific time or something like that uh so yeah you know we we are working towards that to have a much more consistent schedule but for now we're just saying every uh afternoon weekdays hong kong time but um you know we are we have like we've gotten a lot more busy we've gotten busier that's the correct english word uh over the past three months so yeah that's why our uh production has dropped quite slightly i remember we're doing three to even four videos a day now we actually can't keep up with that yeah but hopefully soon once everything is streamlined and our tasks are automated maybe we get more interns and then we're good yeah and guys like using ai you will be on a roll in the early in the early phase but then in the middle part when you have a prototype product it starts to like not it's not what you expect and then there's a lot of debugging issue uh so that part is really difficult to to to fix so we're very busy now with mastering ai and leveraging these ai tools but once we get them fixed we're gonna focus on having a much more consistent a much more on time stream yeah but yeah yeah and honestly i just want to stream and talk to you guys yeah it's the best part of the day the other part sucks but anyways i hate looking at hexadecimal so all day bro but on that topic there's actually something in the works that we're doing uh we had a meeting today and there's something else that's coming up for you guys this is especially for you guys so uh excited about that yeah we'll announce it tomorrow yeah it's uh just a little bit teaser it will be a platform where all of us can interact with so any alpha you have just drop there yeah if you want to know what ron's doing uh for dinner plans you can just message him he'll be available in your phone 24 7 yeah yo ron yeah let me go you can be ron's uh chat mate i'm yeah i'm a walking talking ai assistant yeah yep any airdrop now worth doing now less than 15 days of launch uh nothing concrete that is less than two weeks so but i think the closest one of them is actually theoric ai oh theoric ai theoric ai yes we did that just three days ago we did the guide on that that is something uh that is a project which you can farm right now and expect an airdrop soon but because we're not early uh assuming you have never farmed it before this one it you're pretty late but who knows you can just can you can just farm it and stay active and then right before tge you know just rack up those points let's see there you go the two weeks okay farm theoric ai if you need airdrops asap magic newton airdrop farming has ended yes the portal already closed now just waiting for announcement can you guys check out yup ai yup oh yup ai yes that's uh been on our list yup ai yup is it this yeah that one that one info 5 again yeah we'll do a guide on this soon okay yeah we'll check this out too mm-hmm let's follow that big big big big big big big big big top three high value airdrops for you guys monad hyper evm and uh something in the s tier an air droplet one of those aztec network aztec sure boys what about magic newton seems tgs very soon what are your thoughts about filtering users will the nft matter i think yeah the nft will play a big role of course uh they're working on the sibyls for sure nfts will be a first criteria to filter out symbols so glenberg juliana having oxtail for dinner geez hey bougie man bougie yeah guys anyone got potato land uh white list yeah let us know man that's so rare one of you guys tagged me this morning what's up i know hyzen no worries bro uh potato what is that saying it's better better than late what late is
