AI Analysis

This video dives into crucial updates on existing testnet airdrop campaigns and introduces a promising new one. It covers actionable steps for getting involved with Helios, provides long-awaited news on Mango Network and the highly anticipated Linea and MetaMask token distributions, and reminds you about new tasks for HeyElsa and voting opportunities for Soy users.

Here's a breakdown of the key information:

* Helios Testnet Airdrop (New)
* Helios is a new modular Layer 1 blockchain aiming to solve fragmented ecosystems through interoperability, on-chain automation, and developer sustainability. It stands out by allowing validators to stake a variety of tokens (like Ethereum, Cosmos, BNB Chain) rather than just its native token, decentralizing control and boosting security.
* The Cosmos team is officially following Helios on X, suggesting Cosmos's ATOM token might be one of the first integrated for native staking. This is a heads-up for Atom stakers to pay attention.
* To interact with the testnet: connect your EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Rainbow) to testnet.helioschain.network.
* Actionable Steps:
* Connect your wallet and sign the transaction.
* Claim faucet tokens (note: the faucet was buggy and being fixed at the time of recording, so check back later). These tokens are essential for the next steps.
* Mint a badge (detailed steps are available on Boxmining.com).
* Interact with the Helios portal by delegating (staking) HLS tokens, and bridging assets from Sepolia, Fuji, Binance testnet, and Amoy Polygon testnet to Helios. Governance isn't live yet, but staking might unlock it.
* Repeat these interactions daily to increase your chances of an airdrop.
* The testnet is "under farmed" with only 12,000 users, which is a good sign for potential rewards.
* Complete Helios quests on Zealy, which include social tasks and proof submissions of your on-chain interactions.
* Crucial Step: Link your wallet to the Helios Discord server in the "link-wallet" channel. This is how they track XP, assign roles, and determine airdrop eligibility. If you don't do this, your interactions won't count.
* Helios uses a two-base XP system:
* Level Roles: Tied directly to your on-chain interactions in the Helios portal, with levels going up to 300+. Achieving high levels like "Genesis Council" or "Elite Helios Testnet Pioneer" requires significant grinding, potentially taking months.
* User Behavior Base Roles: These are manually assigned by the Helios team based on your community contributions, like providing alpha or creating content. Automatic roles are also given for early NFT badge support, for instance.
* The overall sentiment is that Helios "might cook, might not cook," but as airdrop farmers, the goal is "farm it anyway" for potential rewards, regardless of whether it's "another modular Layer 1 blockchain." The gamified process of leveling up is a fun incentive for dedicated users.

* Mango Network (Airdrop Update)
* The long wait for Mango Network is nearing its end, with its mainnet launching in just a few days.
* It's expected that the Token Generation Event (TGE) and the airdrop will occur around the same time as the mainnet launch, as the native token is needed for gas fees.
* A small incentive was offered for users who shared their excitement about the mainnet launch on X, with 10 participants sharing $300.
* There's a note of caution: "don't expect much from Mango" due to "a lot of drama from their team." While it might just be "dust" (minimal rewards), it's still considered a positive to finally have closure on a project farmed a while ago.

* Linea and MetaMask (Airdrop Update - Big News!)
* Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of ConsenSys (the company behind MetaMask), confirmed plans for tokenization of their products.
* Chronological Order: Linea's TGE and airdrop will come first, followed by a potential MetaMask token and airdrop for MetaMask users. These tokens will be synergistic.
* There are no front-end tasks required for either Linea or MetaMask now; past interactions are what will count.
* Expect the Linea token airdrop in about two to three months, potentially in the summer, aligning with a common theme for ERC-20 based token airdrops.

* HeyElsa (Airdrop Update)
* New tasks are available on Superboard for HeyElsa's "pre-TGE rush" campaign, named "Elsa's pre-TGE rush, meet your crypto co-pilot."
* These tasks involve actions you might have already done, such as swapping on HeyElsa, bridging via HeyElsa, starting your day with G.Elsa, acquiring a HeyElsa campaign pass PFP, and using HeyElsa across multiple chains (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BSC), as well as utilizing Li.Fi and Bungee protocol.
* These quests help maximize your points for a potential HeyElsa airdrop.

* Soy Overflow 2025 (Community Voting)
* Community voting for Soy Overflow 2025 (a hackathon) is now open.
* Eligibility: You must have previously interacted with Soy protocols or hold Soy tokens that have interacted with smart contracts at the time of the snapshot. Fresh wallets cannot vote.
* Actionable Step: Vote for your favorite projects across nine categories (e.g., AI, infrastructure, meme coins, DeFi). Vote for one project in each category, totaling nine votes.
* There's a $25,000 community prize pool sponsored by Hippo and Sudang, distributed among voters whose choices align closest with the final hackathon results.
* Voting requires a small gas fee in Soy.
* The presenters are "very optimistic" and "very bullish on Soy long term" due to its history of "impressive and surprising airdrops," with some community members making significant gains (four to five figures) from past Soy ecosystem airdrops like Deepbook and Walrus Protocol.

* Other Airdrop Mentions & Community Discussion
* Theoric AI: If you're looking for an airdrop soon, Theoric AI is farmable now, though you're considered "pretty late" if you haven't started. Continue to farm and stay active to rack up points before its TGE.
* Magic Newton: Farming has ended, and users are now awaiting the TGE announcement. It's expected that NFTs will play a significant role in filtering out Sybil attacks (duplicate accounts trying to game the system).
* Yup AI: This project is on the list to be reviewed for a future guide.
* Top 3 High-Value Airdrops: Monad, Hyper EVM, and Aztec Network are highlighted as high-value targets.
* Bear Chain: While active addresses are decent, the Total Value Locked (TVL) significantly dropped after March and April, which is concerning for a proof-of-liquidity chain.
* The team is working towards a more consistent streaming schedule, but current focus on mastering AI tools and streamlining processes is causing busy periods. They're also developing a new community platform for direct interaction and alpha sharing.
