Step-by-Step Guide to Farm Monad Testnet

1. Choose an EVM-Compatible Wallet:
   • Monad is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), so you’ll need a wallet like MetaMask, Phantom, OKX Wallet, or Backpack.
   • Download and install your preferred wallet if you don’t already have one (e.g., MetaMask from metamask.io or Phantom from phantom.app).
2. Add the Monad Testnet Network:
   • Go to testnet.monad.xyz.
   • If using Phantom, OKX Wallet, Uniswap Wallet, or Backpack, the network may auto-add upon connection.
   • For MetaMask or other manual setups:
     • Click “Manually add network” on the testnet page.
     • Use the following details:
       • Network Name: Monad Testnet
       • RPC URL: https://monad-testnet.drpc.org
       • Chain ID: 10143
       • Currency Symbol: MON
       • Block Explorer: https://testnet.monadexplorer.com
     • Save the network.
3. Create a Fresh Wallet (Recommended):
   • For security, use a new wallet address dedicated to testnet activities to avoid exposing mainnet funds to phishing risks.

Step 2: Claim Testnet Tokens (MON)

1. Official Monad Faucet:
   • Visit testnet.monad.xyz.
   • Connect your wallet.
   • Accept the Terms of Service and click “Continue.”
   • Paste your EVM wallet address in the faucet section and click “Get Testnet MON.”
   • Token allocation depends on your eligibility:
     • 5 MON: If you have a “Full Access” role in the Monad Community or Developer Discord.
     • 2 MON: If your wallet has at least 0.01 ETH and a past outgoing transaction on Ethereum Mainnet.
     • 0.05 MON: Default for all other wallets.
   • The faucet refreshes every 12 hours, so you can claim twice daily.
2. Alternative Faucets:
   • Chainlink Faucet: Offers 25 LINK on Monad Testnet (MON support may come later).
   • QuickNode Faucet: Will provide 0.5-2 MON per request once Monad support is live.
   • Faucet.trade: Offers 0.02-0.04 MON after tweeting, following their X account, and solving a captcha.
3. Check Pre-Airdropped Tokens:
   • Monad has distributed test tokens to over 8.8 million active Ethereum addresses. Check your balance at testnet.monadexplorer.com by entering your address.

Step 3: Join the Monad Community

1. Join the Monad Discord:
   • Go to the official Monad Discord (find the invite link on monad.xyz or their X account

     @monad_xyz

     ).

   • Verify your account and connect your wallet.
   • Aim for roles like:
     • NadOG: For long-term supporters.
     • Monvangelist: For significant contributions.
     • Nads: For active chat participation (nominated by the community).
   • Link your Discord to the faucet for “Full Access” verification (5 MON per claim).
2. Follow Monad on X:
   • Follow

     @monad_xyz

     and engage with their posts (likes, retweets, comments) to stay updated and show activity.

Step 4: Interact with Monad Ecosystem dApps

1. Swap Tokens on Uniswap:
   • Go to app.uniswap.org/swap or the Monad testnet page.
   • Enable “Testnet mode” in the settings (top right).
   • Select “Monad Testnet” from the network dropdown.
   • Swap small amounts of MON with other testnet tokens (e.g., MON to LINK).
2. Provide Liquidity on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs):
   • Visit DEXs like Bean or Azaar (links on testnet.monad.xyz/ecosystem).
   • Add liquidity pools (e.g., MON/ETH pair) using your testnet tokens.
3. Play Fantasy Top:
   • Access Fantasy Top via the Monad testnet landing page.
   • Buy card packs with MON, build a deck, and join tournaments based on influencer social media performance.
4. Stake on aPriori:
   • Use testnet MON to stake on aPriori (a Monad staking protocol) to simulate staking activity.
5. Mint NFTs:
   • Visit testnet.lilchogstars.com to mint a testnet NFT.
   • Register a domain at app.nad.domains with MON.
6. Complete Layer3 Quests:
   • Check Layer3 campaigns (layer3.xyz) for Monad-related tasks and complete them for additional engagement.

Step 5: Explore Additional Activities

1. Test Smart Contracts:
   • If you’re a developer, write and deploy a simple Solidity contract (e.g., a counter) using tools like Remix or Hardhat. Test it on Monad’s parallel execution environment.
2. Provide Feedback:
   • Share your experience with dApp teams via Discord or X. Constructive feedback can boost your community standing.
3. Monitor Ecosystem Updates:
   • Regularly check the Ecosystem Page on testnet.monad.xyz for new dApps to interact with.

• Consistency: Claim tokens every 12 hours and interact with multiple dApps daily.
• Diversity: Spread your activity across swaps, staking, NFT minting, and community tasks.
• Track Activity: Use testnet.monadexplorer.com to monitor your transactions and ensure they’re recorded.
• Stay Safe: Avoid phishing links (e.g., fake faucets). Only use official sources like monad.xyz or verified X posts from

  @monad_xyz

  .
