If these were given to testers.146k testers could get 10k each
Dey weren't all farmers,real testers could be identified and most would've used the tokens in eco
But tokens went to a wider crowd with no loyalty so dey dumped, Real testers hurted

If the Monad testnet will not be rewarded the question is clear
Why did people embrace and use it with the same passion as a mainnet
Testnet users did far more than just testing the chain. They behaved like real users, pushed the system to its limits, and directly contributed to the improvement of the RPC infrastructure. The data collected, from RPC performance to transaction volume, provided the Monad team with invaluable insights.
Botting a testnet is easy, but filtering out sybils is the responsibility of the experts. The same engineers who are building one of the most advanced high performance blockchains in the world can surely handle the challenge of identifying and eliminating sybil activity. This responsibility belongs to the engineers, not to random people simply throwing opinions around.
So the concern is valid. If testnet users are not rewarded, will Monad feel no obligation toward the people who gave their time, energy, and passion while fueling this process? Will all the insights and progress extracted from their participation go unrecognized?
The fact that the testnet was lived and loved as if it were mainnet is actually proof of Monad’s success. But ignoring the contribution of these users could risk losing the trust of the community that helped make it possible.
Saddened to hear today that Blockworks is shutting down its news division. Each unbiased, competent, crypto-native newsroom is a public good of significant value to the space, and is an important factor in enabling the mainstream adoption of crypto.
I don't have a good solution for how tough the news media business model is, but I think it is worth reflecting on the value of the media to the space overall. I hope all the affected folks find new opportunities shortly.
