GET AN AIRDROP FOR USING TABI TESTNET
Tabi, the modular blockchain for web3 gaming, has recently released its Testnet V2 Yoake and teased an airdrop for the most active participants.
8% of the $TABI supply is allocated to airdrops.
Here’s how you can get started:
Add Tabi V2 testnet to your Metamask (guide here)
Claim $TABI from the V2 faucet
After doing that, you can start completing ecosystem missions that involve playing web3 games built on it in order to earn Tabi lottery tickets.
One of the most fun games built on Tabi is Wizzwoods.
Wizzwoods is a novel Pixel Farm game that integrates interchain capabilities with a SocialFi twist.
It features complex farming, upgrading, and map customization mechanisms.
To earn a lottery ticket, you just need to play it and reach level 15.
Another interesting project built on Tabi is TabiZoo - a Telegram Mini App that aims to become the go-to app store on Telegram
You can access the most popular TG minigames built on Tabi through TabiZoo.
Additionally, you can complete special tasks to level up in the app and earn an additional lottery ticket.
Tabi lottery tickets give you a chance to earn Tabi MiniNodes, which might play a key role in receiving the $TABI airdrop.
Check out all Tabi ecosystem missions and get rewarded!
This Week’s Airdrop Opportunity🪂
Provide liquidity to Jupiter’s Liquidity Provider Pool
Jupiter is the most popular DeFi project on Solana.
Jupiter’s Liquidity Provider Pool (JLP) is essentially an index fund of SOL, ETH, WBTC, USDC, USDT that acts as a counterparty to traders.
When traders open a leveraged position, they borrow tokens from this pool.
By providing liquidity to Jupiter’s JLP pool, you can:
earn 75% of the generated fees paid by the platform traders
earn traders’ losses in case they lose more than they win
get exposure to SOL, ETH, WBTC, USDC, and USDT
potentially qualify for the next JUP airdrop (which is confirmed)
There's a risk of losing money by providing liquidity to JLP if traders win too much, but over long periods of time, JLP has always performed well.
I don’t have very high expectations for Jupiter’s next airdrop, but this strategy seems like a good way to earn some yield without taking high risks.
Here’s a link to Jupiter’s JLP pool page.
