If you’ve only traded perpetuals and this is your first time exploring airdrops, you can use this approach as a guide. Experienced users can skip this—the following is just a version that everyday users can follow: don’t rush to create a bunch of accounts; first learn how to screen projects.

The most common mistake beginners make is interacting with a project as soon as they see “possible airdrop.” They spend a lot of time, approve a bunch of wallet permissions, and still can’t explain why the project is worth engaging with.

When screening testnets, look at just three things: whether the funding background is clear, whether the project has explicitly mentioned an airdrop or expected points, and whether participation is basically free. If all three conditions aren’t met, put it on your watchlist for now. Don’t rush to invest time, and definitely don’t pay repeatedly just for a “possible airdrop.”

After finding a project, first search X for “project name + testnet” or “project name + tutorial.” If you can’t find anything, search Mirror. Don’t follow the first tutorial you find without checking it—compare at least two sources and verify the official website, task steps, and wallet permissions requested to avoid clicking fake links.

When researching, you can also add the project’s ecosystem to your watchlist. For example, if the project is related to the $ETH or $BNB ecosystem, keep an eye on whether trading activity for related assets, ecosystem developments, and market interest are all moving in sync. The goal isn’t to chase a rally, but to judge whether there’s a real catalyst for this trend right now. If there’s social media buzz but little actual progress, lower its priority.

Computers, fingerprint browsers, and accounts are just tools, not sources of income. The more accounts you have, the higher the management costs—and you also need to check whether the project allows multiple accounts. For beginners, a safer approach is to complete the process once with a single account, record the time, costs, and risks, and then decide whether to scale up.

Today, choose one free testnet that meets all three criteria and use a single account to go through the full process: “screen, find a tutorial, interact, and record.”
