This testnet pays you to use it. $ASE XP for actually running the network. Not for clicking three buttons. Asentum’s just opened its Incentivized Testnet to everyone and that basically means you can earn XP that counts toward their $ASE mainnet airdrop. Now, airdrop campaigns are something I tend to ignore. Most of the time you have to connect your wallet, click three buttons and follow an account, in order to get a tiny airdrop. Asentum is different. The whole point of Asentum’s airdrop is you actually use the network. Test it. Get rewarded. So there are loads of ways to make XP. Just by using the chain. Sending transactions. Interacting with the apps built on it. Completing quests across the ecosystem and you can even run a validator. That gives you 5,000 XP and a permanent multiplier. And you can do it on hardware you already own. That’s a big part of what Asentum’s about. Letting normal people on normal devices help run the network. There’s more. Find and report bugs, and you earn XP based on how serious they are. Refer people and you get a cut of their XP too. Even your social activity can bump your multiplier up. And if you already hold $ASE, which is currently trading on Ethereum as a pre-mainnet token, you can stake it to multiply your XP. Anywhere from double, right up to ten times if you’re a serious holder. So the token actually does something in the campaign. Not just sit there. So what even is Asentum? It’s a JavaScript-native, post-quantum Layer 1, built from scratch in-house. Not just another forked copy of something else. they’ve already shipped the real stuff. Wallets. An explorer. Developer tools. The validator app and the token’s been CertiK audited too. Of course, I don’t know how this is going to end up. Nobody knows. But an airdrop that rewards people helping run the network and find issues is a smart and innovative way to do things and in my book, that’s a green flag. Link is here: airdrop.asentum.com. Go have a look and give Asentum a follow to keep up with it. Testnet’s live from the 17th.
