Monad Testnet is HERE! (FULL Airdrop Route Guide)

## Unlock the Monad Airdrop: A Comprehensive Guide to Farming Testnet Tokens

The Monad testnet has launched, and the excitement is palpable.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the flood of information on Twitter and YouTube, fear not! This comprehensive guide will walk you through a straightforward, step-by-step process to maximize your chances of securing the Monad airdrop.
This isn’t just another airdrop; the energy surrounding Monad is reminiscent of the hype surrounding Story Protocol and Movement.

**Key Takeaways:**

* **This guide covers 29 protocols and campaigns within the Monad ecosystem.**
* **It details multiple faucets to obtain testnet MON tokens.**
* **Security best practices, including the use of burner wallets, are addressed.**
* **The guide breaks down the process into manageable sections: NFT mints, gamified apps, DeFi protocols, and more.**

**Wallet Selection:**

While the official Monad testnet website recommends Phantom, many dApps support MetaMask.
You can use either, but for Phantom, ensure you’re using the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) portion of your wallet, not the Solana portion.
Importantly, you can significantly increase your MON token allocation by importing your MetaMask (with Ethereum balance and activity) into your Solana wallet.
This is crucial, as MON tokens are expected to be scarce.

**Acquiring Testnet MON Tokens:**

Several faucets offer testnet MON:

1. **Official Monad Testnet Faucet:** The most lucrative, rewarding users with higher allocations based on Ethereum wallet activity and Discord access (full access role).
2. **Mori MON Faucet:** Provides 0.025 MON every 24 hours, requiring a Mori ID (minted on Base or Polygon for approximately $3).
3. **Gas Zip Faucet:** Rewards 0.1 MON every 24 hours, requiring 20+ Gas Zip transactions and at least 0.33 mainnet ETH on your EVM wallet.
4. **A Priori (stake.apr.):** Allows claiming every 12 hours.
Untick “Auto stake received MON” to retain control of your tokens.
5. **Monad Faucet Bot (Telegram):** Type `/facet` and enter your EVM address to receive 0.1 MON every 24 hours (allow 10-15 minutes for the bot to respond).
6. **Thirdweb:** Provides 0.01 MON every 24 hours.

**Important Security Note:**

The open-source nature of Web3 means vulnerabilities can exist. To mitigate risks, use a burner wallet for interacting with these protocols.
However, transferring your testnet MON from your main wallet to a burner wallet after acquiring them from the faucets safeguards against being flagged as a bot while still maximizing token acquisition.
