Today is the last day to qualify as an early user for @monad_xyz testnet!

As blockchain veterans, we're happy to help and answer the following:
🔹 What's all the hype with Monad?
🔹 Is it too late to get involved?
🔹 I have testnet $MON, now what?
🔹 Will this make me any money?

❓What's all the hype with Monad?

Simply put, Monad aims to compete with the likes of Solana and Ethereum.

With $248M raised, a $3B valuation, and investments from Paradigm, this is some of the strongest backing we’ve seen for a Layer 1 in years. This level of funding shows serious industry confidence and suggests that when Monad’s mainnet launches, it wont be another pointless ghost chain.

From an airdrop perspective, all the signals are there. Historically, testnets with this level of engagement and ecosystem growth have resulted in some of the biggest airdrop opportunities for early users. We’ve seen it time and time again: the users who interact early, trade, mint NFTs, and provide liquidity often receive the largest allocations.

❓Is it too late to get involved?

No! The testnet just launched which makes now the perfect time roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, and see what all the fuss is about. You might even earn an airdrop along the way! The beauty of testnets is they use "paper" (pretend) money, so there is no cost to you outside of your time. Fortunately, you have this guide to help save you a ton of time as well.

Before we jump in, a quick reminder!

As with all things in web3, remember to prioritize your safety and carefully monitor which wallets you're using and how you interact with any dApps. The recent Abstract exploit has been an unfortunate reminder to stay on your toes. Yes, this is testnet, however scammers are creative so never let your guard down! 🔒
