How to start making money with free and testnet airdrops

Imagine getting paid to test-drive a car before it launches… or scoring free samples of a new product just for giving feedback. That’s exactly how testnets and airdrops work in crypto. Let’s break it down:

What’s a Testnet?

Think of it like a video game demo version for blockchain projects:

• Developers build new crypto apps (like digital banks or NFT games).
• They need testers to find bugs before launching real money.
• YOU get fake crypto tokens (worth $0) to play with their app.
• Why you’re paid: Your activity proves you’re an engaged user. Later, they reward you with real crypto tokens.

Real-life analogy:
Car companies pay people to test new models. You drive it, report issues, and get cash. Testnets = crypto’s version of this.

What’s an Airdrop?

An airdrop is when a crypto project drops free tokens into your digital wallet – like finding money in your jacket pocket!

Why they do it: To reward early supporters or attract new users.

How you qualify: By using testnets or doing simple tasks (like sharing a tweet).

Real example:

In 2023, Arbitrum airdropped tokens worth $2,000-$10,000 to testers.

Celestia gave early users $500-$20,000 in $TIA tokens in late 2023.

Why this is perfect for beginners

Unlike freelance gigs, which demand portfolios, or trading strategies, which require market knowledge, testnet tasks are designed for beginners. All you have to do is click buttons, swap tokens and move funds between test apps. If you can use social media, you can do this.

You’re not gambling with real money. Testnets use fake tokens, so any mistakes won’t cost you anything. It’s like practising with Monopoly money before playing the real game.

You don’t need to quit your job or sacrifice sleep. Just 10–30 minutes a day is enough to qualify for future rewards. You can do this during breaks, on your commute, or while waiting in line.

While nothing is guaranteed, the potential rewards are clear. Past airdrops have made small testers thousands of dollars richer just for completing simple tasks months earlier. However, keep in mind that they can also airdrop peanuts so it’s always good to do 10-20 projects at once, as most (90% of them) will give you literally 20$, while 2 out of those 20 will give you 300-1000$ sometimes it could even be more than that.

How to make even more with airdrops

A Sybil refers to a single person or group creating multiple fake identities to exploit a system—like a crypto airdrop, testnet rewards, or blockchain voting.

Imagine one person using 100 different email addresses to sign up for the same free giveaway, tricking the system into thinking they’re 100 different people. In crypto, that’s a Sybil.

So we will in this guide create several accounts even though if you’re to run up to 3-5 accounts you could do that for free while if you’re to run more than that it could go up in cost (For example I run 10 accounts and my set up costs me around 15$ per month which is very worth it considering the airdrops i get).

Getting started

Here’s a list of stuff you will need:

– Anti Detect Browser
– Proxies or VPn
– EVM Wallet for Crypto (Rabby Wallet is best), depending on what testnets you will do you might need a Solana wallet, though on our site we will show guides only for EVM wallets, they give best airdrops in most cases.
– Google, Twitter, Discord and Telegram accounts as most projects will ask you to follow them, join their servers, etc..

For Anti Detect browser I can recommend Incogniton, for free you can set up to 3 profiles which is more than enough for newbies.

You should install Incogniton, in their knowledge center you can learn and see how it’s set up, but to simply put it up what they’re used for is having several browsers on your computer while each looks like it’s a diffirent computer, while if you’d juts use chrome and mozilla for example without proper set ups it would be easy for projects to mark you as a sybil and ban your accounts from getting the airdrops, this is why we use anti detect browsers to make it look like we are several diffirent people and hence do same airdrops from several accounts to get the rewards from several accounts.

Second thing you will need is either proxies for your profiles or VPn, I use proxies as it’s just more secure in my opinion, I use Instant Proxies, so 10 of them cost me only 10$ per month.

You could also just use a free vpn or some paid one for 2-3$ just keep in mind to re-connect it to diffirent location every time you connect to a diffirent profile, a con with using vpn and not proxies is that you can’t work on several profiles at once.

I won’t explain you how to create google, discord, telegram and so accounts, you should know how to do that yourself.

So now that you’ve set up your accounts, you have to install chrome extension for rabby wallet, here’s the download link.

When creating your wallet keep in mind that you must save your pass phrase (12 words) if you want to use your wallet anywhere else, and that you must never give your pass phrase to anyone! Scammers will often DM you when you’re in projects servers and try to impersonate moderators to get the pass phrase from you and then steal all the money on your wallet.

How airdrops usually go

For airdrops you can sometimes even wait for them to get out year or two, most I’ve waited myself was 18-19 months. Though I farmed 70 projects that I am expecting and waiting for airdrops through those 18-19 months, so something I’ve farmed for last 15 months and spent only 20-30 minutes per month last 15 months makes me 70$ and since I have 10 wallets that turns into 700$.

Airdrops are juts a gifts projects give to their users, so you have to keep in mind that they’re in the end projects that are creating tech on blockchain so they might take long time to ship it, while some projects that you start doing might give you already an airdrop a month or two after you started doing it.

Where to find projects to farm

Our site has a section with good projects that we have researched and farm ourselves with complete guides on how to farm them, though other good way to find them is Twitter though its full of scams and viruses so be carefull.

How to know when to claim it and if I was qualified

All projects post when their airdrops are out on their twitter profiles, though if you will do the projects from tutorials we create here, you can just follow our airdrops telegram channel as we will post all of them there!
