Steps

How to participate

1. 01

   Create a dedicated wallet for Monad farming using MetaMask or Rabby Wallet. Generate a brand-new account rather than reusing an existing one. A dedicated wallet keeps your activity clean, makes tracking easy, and reduces the sybil-detection risk that comes from mixing airdrop farming with personal DeFi activity. Store the seed phrase securely offline.

2. 02

   Add the Monad network to your wallet as a custom RPC. Monad is EVM-compatible, so it works with any standard Ethereum wallet — you just need to enter the correct Chain ID, RPC URL, and block explorer address from official Monad documentation. This is mandatory before any Monad dApp will work. Double-check you are using the official RPC to avoid connecting to a phishing endpoint.

3. 03

   Acquire MON tokens for gas fees. During testnet, claim free MON from the official Monad faucet (linked in the Monad Discord). On mainnet, purchase or bridge MON from a supported exchange. Gas on Monad is designed to be very cheap — a few dollars of MON covers weeks of normal trading activity. Always keep a small reserve so you are never stuck unable to submit a transaction.

4. 04

   Bridge USDC or another supported stablecoin to Monad for trading capital. Use the official Monad bridge for maximum safety. Experienced farmers typically bridge $100–200 USDC as a starting amount — enough to build meaningful trading history without over-committing. Avoid round numbers (e.g., exactly 100 USDC) when bridging, as uniform amounts across many wallets are a sybil flag.

5. 05

   Go to app.blinq.app and connect your wallet. Click 'Connect Wallet,' select MetaMask or your chosen wallet, and approve the network switch to Monad. If the app requires an invite or is in closed beta, watch the official Blinq Twitter and Discord for access codes — early community members and Discord participants typically receive priority access invites before the public launch.

6. 06

   Complete the platform onboarding and any profile setup steps. Many protocols use profile completeness as a soft signal in their points algorithm — filling in your details, completing tutorial trades, or verifying your account takes under five minutes and may contribute to your points total. It also establishes your account creation timestamp, which is valuable evidence of early-user status.

7. 07

   Deposit collateral into the Blinq trading account and open your first perpetual position. Use USDC or the platform's native collateral token. Start with a small, modest leverage (2–5x) on a major pair like BTC/USD or ETH/USD. The first trade is your timestamp as an active user. Do not rush — understand the liquidation price and margin requirements before committing capital.

8. 08

   Trade consistently over multiple weeks to build cumulative volume. Aim for 3–7 trades per week across different sessions and days rather than batching all activity into a single day. Retroactive perps airdrops (dYdX, Hyperliquid, Vertex) weighted both total volume and trade frequency. Consistent, spread-out activity mimics real trading behaviour and is far less likely to be flagged by sybil filters.

9. 09

   Participate in the prediction markets module in addition to perpetuals trading. Place small, regular bets on available markets. Diversifying your activity across multiple features of the platform signals genuine engagement and means that even if one activity vector carries lower weight in the points formula, you are covered by the others. Variety is the key signal of a real user vs. a script.

10. 10

    Use any available referral system to boost your points multiplier. If Blinq has a referral programme, share your referral link with people who will actually sign up and trade. Most DeFi referral systems grant both the referrer and referee a points bonus (typically 10–50% multiplier). If you were invited by someone, make sure you registered through their link to claim any associated bonus.

11. 11

    Check your points dashboard at least twice per week. Most modern DeFi platforms display a live points counter and sometimes a leaderboard. Monitoring your position lets you know whether you need to increase activity to stay in a competitive tier. If the platform introduces new features or bonus-point events, you will be in a position to act quickly — missing a 48-hour bonus window is a common mistake.

12. 12

    Spread activity across at least 20 distinct calendar days over the farming period. Day diversity is one of the most consistent eligibility requirements across retroactive airdrops. A wallet that traded on 5 consecutive days looks very different from one that traded on 25 spread-out days. Set a phone reminder to interact with the platform every 2–3 days even for minor actions like adjusting a position or placing a small prediction.

13. 13

    Follow Blinq's official Twitter and Discord and engage with community content. Some protocols include social engagement as a soft eligibility criterion. More importantly, official channels are where new features, bonus point campaigns, and major announcements break first. Being early to new campaigns — like new trading pair launches or liquidity incentive events — can multiply your points significantly.

14. 14

    Avoid patterns that trigger sybil detection: identical transaction amounts across sessions, opening and closing positions within seconds, or operating multiple wallets from the same IP. Before each session, vary your trade sizes by small random amounts (e.g., trade $47 USDC one day, $83 another) and always hold positions for a realistic duration. If you use a VPN, use a consistent, dedicated IP — constantly rotating IPs can itself be a flag.

15. 15

    Keep a personal activity log: record your wallet address, weekly trading volume, points balance, and notable interactions. When the airdrop claim opens, you may encounter eligibility checks or disputes. Having a documented record of your genuine activity — dates, transaction hashes, amounts — is your best evidence if you are incorrectly filtered. Many projects allow a dispute window where users can submit proof of legitimate activity.
