GET REWARDED FOR YOUR TESTING ACTIVITY

Tabi, an innovative new modular blockchain for web3 gaming, is gearing up for the launch of Tabi Testnet v2 in the coming days.

And by getting involved, you can qualify for its upcoming airdrop🪂

Here’s what you need to know about it:

Tabi V2 is one of the final test versions of Tabichain mainnet
Token incentives are confirmed for the active participants

As Tabi is backed by Binance Labs and has raised $16M in its public token sale, its mainnet launch is one of the most anticipated events in the web3 gaming world.

There are several ways how you can qualify for its potential airdrop:

run a node to mine test tokens

provide valuable feedback to improve the network
play web3 games that are built on Tabi (such as Wizzwoods which will be deployed on Tabi testnet v2 soon after its launch)
experiment with the different features of the network

That’s right, by simply playing games you can get rewarded.

And with the Tabi Captain Node desktop client, a user-friendly app interface, anyone will be able to run a Tabi Node with little-to-no technical knowledge.

Check out Tabi and get ready for its upcoming testnet v2 launch!

This Week’s Airdrop Opportunity🪂

Provide liquidity to Meteora

Meteora is a Solana dApp that is operated by the team behind Jupiter.

Jupiter is responsible for one of the best airdrops on Solana, and that’s the main reason why I find this opportunity interesting.

Meteora team confirmed that they released a points program a while ago, but users can't see their points on the UI in order to avoid attracting too many airdrop farmers.

There are 2 main ways to farm this airdrop:

Provide stablecoins to Meteora’s Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker Pools (DLMM Pools) - which are basically concentrated liquidity pools
Deposit SOL, SOL liquid staking tokens, or stables to its Dynamic Vaults (to essentially lend your tokens)

You can provide a lot of tokens to its DLMM Pools, but I recommended depositing stablecoins to avoid being affected by impermanent loss.

Here’s a link to Meteora.
