  • Avail token airdrop guide

    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.

    Check out our step by step 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.

  • Venom ($VENOM) Token Airdrop Guide: 25 March listing!

    Venom ($VENOM) Token Airdrop Guide: 25 March listing!

    Venom Foundation have launched a $1 billion fund to invest in Web3 and blokchain firms. And is launching a layer-0 blockchain that will function as the main infrastructure for a global ecosystem of Web3 applications. According to their whitepaper, 22% of the initial token supply will be allocated to the community. This is very likely to be an airdrop to early users. Venom has launched their mainnet on 18th March 2024 and their $VENOM token will be listed on 25th March 2024! Here is our Venom token airdrop guide.

    Check out our video on the latest news and predictions for the upcoming potential Venom token airdrop!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl_Sz53_038

    What is happening to Venom?

    On 16th December 2023, Venom Foundation announced on Twitter as of 14th December 2023, they will no longer continue operating in ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market). Therefore, Venom Foundation will begin the dissolution process. They have however, mentioned that they are open to exploring future opportunities within ADGM. However, it does mean that it is unlikely there will be a Venom airdrop in the foreseeable future.

    Step-by-Step Venom Testnet Guide

    What is Venom Foundation?

    Venom Foundation is a new layer-0 blockchain that envisions a global economy built on decentralized, blockchain-based, financial systems. They are a new player in the financial application-specific blockchain (appchain) space, offering real-world assets (RWA) with the transparency of a blockchain. They are fully regulated by financial authorities in Abu Dhabi.

    The architecture of Venom Foundation is essentially a modular blockchain that is built on its own Threaded Virtual Machine (TVM). This allows for the efficient execution of smart contracts through an asynchronous communication model as well as dynamic sharding.

    In theory, the Venom blockchain can handle interactions between accounts more effectively than EVM-based networks, allowing for greater parallelism and reduced delays. As the network experiences heavy loads, validators divide into parallel groups and handle transactions through “split events.” As such, their mission is to be the infrastructure for the next generation of digital services and products.

    Does Venom Foundation have a Token?

    $VENOM, the native currency of the Venom blockchain, serves multiple purposes. It is used to pay transaction fees, which helps maintain the network and compensate validators. Additionally, it secures the network through a proof-of-stake mechanism and allows network participants to support validators via DePools staking.

    According to their whitepaper, the $VENOM token has no fixed maximum supply. It has an inflationary model, with a projected annual inflation rate of 1%. However, the Venom Foundation is exploring ways to transition to a deflationary model. It is worth noting that 22.0% of the tokens will be allocated towards the community, and 10% will be unlocked at TGE.

    Venom have confirmed their $VENOM token will be listed on 25th March 2024 on Bybit, OKX, MEXC, gate.io, Poloniex and Web3.world.

    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: Based on recent events, Venom Foundation is unlikely to do an airdrop.

    Airdropped Token Allocation: 22% of the initial token supply will be allocated to the community. However, it is unlikely that Venom would do an airdrop.

    Airdrop Difficulty: The Venom Testnet page is very UI-friendly. It shows you the tasks you can complete for each DApp!

    Token Utility: $VENOM will be used to pay for transaction fees to maintain the network by validators, secure the network through proof-of-stake mechanisms, and support validators by network participants through DePools staking.

    Token Lockup: Of the initial supply of 7.2 billion $VENOM, 15.5% will be available to use, while 84.5% will remained locked. The locked tokens include 10% of the initial supply as a stake of early validators. However, it is unlikely that Venom would do an airdrop.

  • 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.

    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.

    BIGGEST Memecoin Airdrop in Polkadot 2024 (Do this NOW)

    Boxmining+ EXTRA video guide

    What is DOT is $DED?

    DOT is $DED is a memecoin in the Polkadot ecosystem. According to the team, the goal of the project is to drive growth in the Polkadot ecosystem through onboarding new users, bringing in new liquidity and attracting new attention from the crypto community.

    DOT is $DED is created by a team of Polkadot natives and $DOT token holders.

    DED mine game

    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.

    6. Complete tasks on Airlyft

      Go to https://airlyft.one/bifrost-finance/vdot-is-ded-1708948824425 and complete the tasks. They also have a raffle where you can stand a chance to win 10 $BNC!

    7. Mint Deadmine NFT badge

      To mint the Deadmine NFT badge, go to https://ded.games/play/dedmine and play the Deadmine game. The goal of the game is to collect all 45 badges. No gas fees are required for this, and you may get a reward if you are able to collect all the badges.

    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.

    Elys Network Airdrop: Incentivized Testnet is LIVE!! (HUGE Rewards)

    What is Elys Network?

    Elys Network is a distributed ledger system that enables a variety of decentralized finance solutions powered by nuclear fusion and Cosmos network. Here are some of the main features of Elys Network

    • NextGen oracle-based Decentralized Perpetual Trading and Leverage Lending platform: Elys Network is a platform that allows users to trade and lend various assets with leverage, using oracles to provide reliable data feeds for the market prices and other parameters.
    • ETF style multi-asset Index Pools: Elys Network offers a feature that enables users to create and invest in diversified portfolios of assets, similar to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which are designed to track the performance of a specific index or sector.
    • Highly Scalable, Interoperable and Secure with premier UX, high TPS and low Transaction Fees: Elys Network claims to have a high-performance, user-friendly, and secure blockchain network that can handle a large number of transactions per second (TPS) and interoperate with other blockchains, while charging low fees for the users.
    • Built in the Cosmos ecosystem: Elys Network is a part of the Cosmos network, which is a decentralized network of independent blockchains that can communicate with each other using a standard protocol called Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC).

    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.

    1. Sign up at Elys Network

      Go to https://tally.so/r/mVQBev and complete the survey to sign up for the waitlist.

    2. Complete Zealy Questboard tasks

      Go to Elys Network’s Zealy Questboard. Tasks include social tasks such as joining and getting roles on their discord.

      Here are the answers to the Elys Network Zealy quizzes:
      A (Yes), B (proof of stake), A (validators), B (Voting), C (none of the above), C (Osmosis), A (Neutron), C (Stride), B (Stargaze), C (Akash), B (Mars), C (Elys Network), A (Yes), A (Inter-Blockchain Communication), B (February 18, 2021), B (Bridge assets), A (Using a smart-contract), A (Using a smart-contract), A (Yes), A (ELYS), B (EDEN), C (Reward and vesting token), B (No), B (A basket of assets), A (65% of non-inflationary revenue from the assets in the specific Molecule, paid in USDC + EDEN), A (Perpdex), A (LP leveraging), A (Yes), A (Yes).

      Fill in some information about yourself and your motivations to become a Cadet. Then, in a few sentences explain: (1) What type of project Elys Network is? (Blockchain? Application? Both?); (2) What is the native token and its role?; (3)
      What is the purpose of IBC?

    3. Sign up at Elys Network testnet and claim tokens.

      Sign up for the Elys Network testnet with your email or wallet at https://testnet.elys.network/. Click “Deposit” and “Claim testnet tokens” to claim 1 testnet $ELYS and 2 testnet $USDC tokens. You can repeat this claim every 24 hours.

    4. Swap $ELYS for $USDC or $ATOM

      Go to the “Swap” tab and swap $ELYS for $USDC or $ATOM. Make sure to save some $ELYS for gas fees. Note if it still does not work even after a few hours you can let the team know on their Discord channel. Do one of these transactions every day to maintain your streak.

    5. Stake $ELYS on ELYS Staking

      Go to the “Earn” tab and click “Simple staking”. Go for the ELYS Staking option by clicking “Manage”. Choose a validator you want to delegate your $ELYS tokens to. We chose the High Stakes validator because to our understanding, they have an incentive program where if you delegate any Cosmos IBC tokens to them they would give you extra yields. Note it may take 30 minutes for the transaction to be processed. Staking $ELYS on ELYS Staking gives you $EDEN and EDEN BOOST rewards.

    6. Stake USDC on USDC earn

      On the staking page, click “Manage” under the USDC Earn pool. Select the amount of USDC you wish to stake and click “Stake USDC”. You will earn rewards in $EDEN for this.

    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.
