Is Monad Testnet Worth It? Here’s What You Could Get (Airdrop Prediction Inside!)

Thousands of users are rushing to participate in Monad’s testnet—but is it really worth the effort? Let’s break down what’s happening and whether you could score a massive airdrop.

🚀 Why Monad’s Testnet Matters

Monad is a high-performance Ethereum-compatible Layer 1 that just raised $225M (backed by Paradigm, DragonFly, and more). Its testnet is live, and early participants could be rewarded—just like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Celestia did.

💸 Airdrop Prediction: Will Monad Reward Testnet Users?

✅ High Chance of an Airdrop – Monad is transitioning to a foundation model, which usually means a future token launch.
✅ Big Funding = Big Rewards? – With $225M raised, they have the budget to incentivize early adopters.
✅ Past Precedents – Most major L1s (Solana, Avalanche, Sui) rewarded testnet users.

Estimated Airdrop Value (If It Happens):

• Minimum: $500-$,000 per wallet (if you complete all tasks).
• Optimistic: $5,000+ for heavy testnet contributors (developers, LPs).

📌 How to Maximize Your Chances

Here’s what you MUST do to qualify:

1️⃣ Set Up Your Wallet & Get Testnet Tokens

• Use Haha Wallet (Monad’s official wallet) or Metamask/Rabby with Monad’s RPC.
• Get a free test $MON from faucets:
  • Gas.zip
  • OKX Faucet
  • Haha Wallet Discord

2️⃣ Complete Core Testnet Tasks

• Mint Free NFTs (Monadverse, Lil Chogstars, Herb Genesis).
• Deploy a Smart Contract via Owlto.
• Complete Layer3 Quests (Monad Explorer tasks).

3️⃣ Use Monad’s DeFi Apps

• Swap & Provide Liquidity on PancakeSwap, Uniswap, Ambient Finance.
• Stake $MON on aPriori & Kintsu.
• Bridge Funds using Orbiter.

⚠️ Risks & Final Thoughts

• No Guarantees – Monad hasn’t confirmed an airdrop criteria (but signs point to "yes").
• Gas Costs – Testnet is free, but mainnet activity later may require real funds.
• Competition – Millions are farming, so they do more than the minimum.

If you look at the history of testnet in the past, it can be seen that testnet programs with more participants do not get much reward. So never expect too much. Our personal opinion is that it is very difficult to expect much from this Monad testnet because there are already too many users.

Should You Farm Monad?
👉 If you have 30 mins/day, it’s a low-risk, high-reward play.
👉 If you ignore it, you might regret it when the airdrop hits.
