If you start building social value in 2025, you get more and your future stays safe.
Instead, you played with testnets… and got nothing.
Build early. Secure your future. Don’t chase hype guys.
Come, let's build together.🫡
#FutureProofCrypto#CryptoEarlyBird#Monad#Airdrops
Testnet users spend months testing, reporting, and creating tangible value.
KOLs abandon a single thread and leave with their bags.
The base community is often overlooked in projects.
I hope @monad fixes that and gives its early testnet contributors a real reward. 🙌

📝 An Open Letter to the Monad Team
I’ve seen a lot of speculation that the Monad airdrop claim might open soon.
That’s why I wanted to share my thoughts on something I believe could be a historic move for Monad.
👉 Rewarding testnet users.
First, let me acknowledge the obvious: @monad has executed at a level few chains ever do on testnet.
• 311M+ wallets
• 2.8B+ transactions
• 41M+ blocks produced
• hundreds of high-quality projects already building
All these are on testnet, but that’s momentum most projects never reach.
And monad isn’t starting from zero.
• Day one infra: Circle, BitGo, Chainlink, and MetaMask are already confirmed.
• Ecosystem funding: Projects are raising millions (Kuru $11.6M, Perpl $9.25M, Magma Staking $3.9M, Opinion Labs $5M, Drake $1M).
• Strong backing: Monad raised $244M and even acquired Portal to bring full-stack stablecoin payments infra.
• Community focus: Residency programs, Monad Momentum, Monad card, and onboarding the Sappy Seals, Pudgy Penguins, Chimpers, Moonbirds and Meebits community.
So capital, infra, and builders are already in place. The missing piece is “Grassroots alignment”.
Here’s why I believe rewarding testers makes sense:
• Trust & community alignment:
Testers are one of the earliest believers. Rewarding them shows monad values grassroots effort.
• Stronger launch narrative:
A fair tester airdrop would create a wave of organic support at mainnet.
• Skin in the game:
When testers are rewarded, they become long-term holders and evangelists. That’s how ecosystems build loyalty.
Of course, I also understand the challenge: filtering bots out of 311M+ wallets isn’t easy. But if there’s any team that can design a system to reward real testers without being farmed, it’s monad. It won’t be perfect, but it can be fair.
The downside of rewarding testers? Yes, there’s some risk of inefficiency in distribution.
The upside? Monad cements itself as an L1 that’s not only backed by capital and infra, but by the very community that stress-tested it.
That upside outweighs everything else.
I believe in monad, and I know the team values the community.
Whatever decision is made, I’ll keep supporting. But as someone who has lived the testnet grind and published a testnet guide on over 100 protocols on monad, I think this is worth saying:
👉 Reward the testers. They’ve already proven they believe in monad.

@Gautamguptagg@Everlyn_ai @leehomyc @SuiNetwork@EmanAbio believe me or not alpha and kaito specially alpha make ecosystem very toxic rich makes money and betatesters got nothing. when we earn money ? 10 out of 9 or 10 give us scam after years of hardwork.🫥
and at the end team also give our allocation to alpha users. Its truth.🫤
🚨 First Scam Project of October : @Everlyn_ai $LYN !!
In their docs, it’s clearly mentioned:
→ 8.6% Genesis Supply to the community at TGE,
But now they’re giving only 1%, and it’s still unclear who will even get it.
⤷ Zero transparency
→ If you never intended to reward the community,
then why promise 8.6% in the first place?
⤷ Was it just for marketing?
⤷ OR Decieve Community At The END.
→ If at this early stage you can’t even reward real users(who used platform) with fair airdrops or allocations,then who’s going to use your product after TGE?
⤷ Whoever advised this decision clearly lacks basic sense.
It’s time to start calling out such projects that deceive the community in the end.🫡
