1. Failed to claim test coins
> The faucet continuously distributes test coins, but the claiming situation may vary due to user differences, and failures may occur due to network issues, address check failures, balance anomalies, etc.
> There are a large number of automated scripts grabbing funds, affecting some normal users' ability to claim.
> The official team has adjusted the Faucet rules multiple times, but it still cannot fully satisfy everyone, so it is recommended to try different methods of claiming.
> Monad mainly encourages users to test interactions and discover bugs, has not announced airdrop rules, and does not recommend calculating airdrops too early.
> Follow the community and team members on Twitter, as there may be additional activities to claim test coins.
2. Transaction failed, deducted 2.73 MON
• Under the EVM mechanism, Gas estimation is required before transactions, and estimation failure may lead to:
> Transactions report errors directly and do not execute.
> Some wallets (e.g., MetaMask) automatically set the Gas Limit to maximum, which directly deducts 2.73 MON after failure.
➡️ Avoidance methods:
• If the wallet prompts **“Transaction may fail”**, please do not continue sending the transaction.
• This issue will not occur on the mainnet, as the mainnet's Gas mechanism is different.
• The team is currently counting problematic DApps and optimizing Gas calculations.
3. Monad popular DApps (e.g., Fantasy Top) lagging & RPC status
> Public RPC load is too high (over ten thousand TPS per second) + DDoS attacks, leading to interaction lag.
> It is recommended to use QuickNode/Alchemy free RPC instead of public RPC to improve stability.
> Currently, self-built RPC is not open.
> The testnet iterates frequently (updated over 40 times).
> Node operation requirements are high, and physical machine deployment is needed, making management difficult.
> After the testnet stabilizes, RPC deployment may be opened, and the official team will announce it promptly on Twitter.
Summary for the lazy ⬇️
👉 Test coin claiming: Rules are being adjusted, it is recommended to try different methods; follow official channels to get additional claiming opportunities.
👉 Transaction failure deduction: Pay attention to Gas Limit estimation issues, and do not force execution of transactions when encountering failure prompts.
👉 RPC and DApps lag: Public RPC load is too high, it is recommended to use third-party RPC, and self-built RPC may be opened in the future.
