Step By Step Guide

Airdrop: Unconfirmed but expected
Stage: Testnet
Investment Required: $5-10 USD
Complexity: 3/5
Time: Allow 30-45 minutes to complete actions first time. Repeat testnet actions 3-4 times per week, allowing 10 minutes to complete the actions. Do Zealy quests daily or weekly depending on their frequency and to check for new available quests when launched.

Join Socials

  • Join Discord (recommended) for project updates and discussion, e.g. troubleshooting the Blast Off campaign with other server members.

  • Follow Twitter (not compulsory) for project updates.

  • Join Telegram (not compulsory) for project updates.

  • Join Guild (recommended) for Discord roles — this requires you have an Ethereum wallet to link (no transaction required, just signing to show it’s your wallet) and a Discord profile to link (at the least). Once you link your wallet click on Join Guild To Get Rewards then Join. You will get roles in the Discord server when you meet the criteria required for each role.

  • Follow on Zealy to complete their quests and gain experience points.

  • Subscribe on Mirror (when a new article is released you can mint the article as an NFT for a small gas fee although this is limited to the first 500 people)

This guide assumes the following

  • You have MetaMask installed and have setup a wallet

  • You have funded your wallet (with ETH or a stablecoin such as USDT that you can convert to ETH using the Swap function in MetaMask)

  • You understand how to use MetaMask

  • You understand the difference between signatures and transaction approvals in MetaMask

  • You understand gas fees

  • You understand how to swap and bridge tokens to different blockchains

  • You have installed some or all of the extensions from our article to keep you safe while you carry out your airdrop farming activities

If any of the above assumptions are confusing, please do more research and familiarise with these concepts before you continue with ANY airdrop farming activities.

Add Goerli and Mantle testnet Networks to MetaMask

  • Add Mantle test network to your MetaMask wallet from here https://chainlist.org/chain/5001

  • Click Connect Wallet

  • Approve the signature request to connect your wallet in MetaMask pop up

  • Click Add to MetaMask

  • Approve signature request in MetaMask pop up

  • Add Goerli test network to your MetaMask wallet from here https://chainlist.org/chain/5 

  • Click Add to MetMask

  • Approve signature request in MetaMask pop up

Get gETH tokens on Goerli testnet

If you already have enough gETH on Goerli then you can skip this step.

Option 1 - bridge ETH from ETH mainnet to gETH on Goerli testnet

  • You will require ETH on mainnet to do this - some for bridging and some for the gas fee

  • Aim to do this when gas prices are at their lowest - install Blocknative browser extension and pin it to see current network gwei level

  • Head to https://testnetbridge.com/

  • Click connect wallet at the top right of your screen

  • Approve the signature request to connect your wallet in MetaMask pop up

  • Choose the Ethereum network in your wallet

  • Choose ETH on Ethereum in token dropdown

  • Input a tiny amount of ETH to bridge, e.g. 0.0005 ETH - you will see this translates to a very large sum of gETH on Goerli testnet

  • Click Transfer

  • Confirm transaction request in MetaMask pop up

  • Your gETH funds should arrive on Goerli testnet shortly

  • You should only need to do this once and then you will have enough gETH for months of activity if not more

Option 2 - Use gETH faucets to drip GETH to your wallet on Goerli testnet

Goerli Faucet

  • https://goerlifaucet.com/

  • Drips 0.02 gETH to your wallet

  • Create an account first

  • Go back to the faucet page

  • Paste your ETH wallet address in the box

  • Complete Captcha to prove you’re human

  • Click Send Me ETH

  • Your gETH funds should arrive on Goerli testnet shortly

  • Note, to prevent bots and abuse, the Goerli faucet requires a minimum mainnet balance of 0.001 ETH on the wallet address being used

  • You can only claim once every 24 hours

Paradigm Faucet

  • https://faucet.paradigm.xyz/

  • Drips 0.1 gETH to your wallet

  • Click on sign in with Twitter

  • Approve the authorisation notification from Twitter to connect your Twitter account

  • Paste your ETH wallet address in the box

  • Click Claim

  • Your gETH funds should arrive on Goerli testnet shortly

  • Note, your Twitter account must have at least 1 Tweet, 50 followers, and be older than 1 month.

  • You can only claim once every 24 hours

Quicknode Faucet

  • https://faucet.quicknode.com/ethereum/goerli

  • Drips 0.05 gETH to your wallet (or 0.01 gETH if you share a Tweet)

  • Click Connect Wallet

  • Choose Connect MetaMask

  • Approve the signature request to connect your wallet in MetaMask pop up

  • Choose Select Network and select Goerli

  • Click Continue

  • If you want to double your claim to 0.1 gETH you can click Generate the tweet for me and I'll share!

  • A new tab will open Twitter with a pre-filled Tweet to post

  • Click Tweet

  • Go into your Tweet and copy the URL from your browser bar

  • Close Twitter tab

  • Paste the URL into the Tweet URL box on the faucet page

  • Click Claim my 0.1 ETH

  • If you don’t care about about doubling your claim ignore previous steps and click No thanks, just send me 0.05 ETH

  • Your gETH funds should arrive on Goerli testnet shortly

  • Note, to prevent bots and abuse, the Goerli faucet requires a minimum mainnet balance of 0.001 ETH on the wallet address being used

  • You can only claim once every 24 hours

Option 3 - Use all of the above to maximise your gETH balance on Goerli.

  • Note that some Zealy quests for various airdrop require proof of gETH claims on Goerli so make sure you do this at least once.

Get testnet MNT tokens on Mantle

You can combine all these options to maximise the amount of testnet MNT you receive. It’s recommended to do this once per day.

Option 1 - via the offical faucet

  • Head to https://faucet.testnet.mantle.xyz/ 

  • Click Authenticate to authenticate your Twitter account

  • Click Connect Wallet to connect your MetaMask wallet

  • Approve the signature request to connect your wallet in MetaMask pop up

  • Switch to Goerli testnet in MetaMask

  • Keep Mint address the same (unless you want to send the tokens to a different wallet address in which case paste the address)

  • Update Mint token amount to 1000 or the maximum it tells you that you can mint (you can mint up to 1000 every 4 hours)

  • Click Mint tokens

  • Confirm transaction request in MetaMask pop up

  • Your MNT tokens should arrive on Goerli testnet shortly

  • Note you can only hold a balance of 1000 MNT tokens in your wallet on Goerli tesntnet at anytime so you will need to bridge these tokens to the Mantle testnet before you can mint more MNT tokens. The faucet will warn you of this and you won’t be able to carry out the mint transaction until your wallet is empty of MNT. Bridging MNT from Goerli to Mantle testnet is a weekly task on Mantle’s Zealy questboard.

Option 2 - via the official Discord faucet channel

  • Head to https://discord.com/channels/993846798382805002/1064730432777764944

  • You will need to be a verified member of the Discord to access this.

  • Type: $faucet [INSERT YOUR WALLET ADDRESS]

  • Please replace the text in the brackets with your wallet address and do not include the brackets

  • Press enter

  • Your MNT tokens should arrive on Goerli testnet shortly

  • You can only claim once every 24 hours

  • This ignores the 1000 MNT wallet limit from Option 1

Option 3 - via FusionX

  • Head to https://fusionx.finance/faucet

  • Click Connect Wallet top right

  • Choose MetaMask

  • Follow MetaMask prompt to switch to Mantle testnet if you’re not already on that network

  • Click Send Tweet

  • A new tab will open Twitter with a pre-filled Tweet to post

  • Click Tweet

  • Close Twitter tab

  • Click Verify Tweet and the page will reload to a Twitter authorisation page

  • Click Authorise and the page will reload to the faucet page

  • Keep Get Tokens address the same (unless you want to send the tokens to a different wallet address in which case paste the address)

  • Complete Captcha to prove you’re human

  • Click Get Tokens

  • Click Okay

Import the MNT token to your MetaMask asset list

  • Open MetaMask extension

  • Switch to Goerli testnet in MetaMask

  • Click on Assets

  • Scroll down and choose Import Tokens

  • Paste the MNT contract address: 0xc1dC2d65A2243c22344E725677A3E3BEBD26E604
