What is on-chain interaction? 4 steps to get started with airdrops

During this period, airdrops of various projects occurred frequently, such as ALT, DYM and STRK. Early interactive players finally benefited from the airdrops.

What is interaction?

Personally, I understand that interaction means interacting and experiencing the product.

For example, if you buy spot on Binance or Oyi, opening a contract order is interaction; buying NFT on opensea, or creating NFT is also interaction;

Or you can exchange ETH for usdc on uniswap; pledge ETH on Lido, both are interactive methods;

In addition, recently the web3 game Pixel Farm Pixels token PIXEL will be listed on Binance. The berries obtained by early game users can be exchanged for PIXEL, and playing games is also an interactive method.

Of course, these interactions all have a prerequisite, which is to register an account and spend a certain amount of gas. The digital wallet is a personal account.

Digital wallets are the ticket to explore blockchain and web3. Only by using wallets on the chain and leaving interaction records will you be able to obtain airdrop opportunities in the future.

This article briefly outlines the interactive steps on the chain, hoping that more people will explore the mysteries of the blockchain and understand the broader encryption market.

1. Tool preparation

①Google Chrome

Generally, Google Chrome is used to explore web3, which is convenient for installing plug-ins and accessing web3 projects.

②Email tool

Register with Google or Microsoft email to facilitate receiving emails. Domestic NetEase or QQ email may not receive information.

When registering with Google Mail, there may be cases where domestic mobile phone numbers cannot receive verification codes. You can try at different time periods, or purchase a service on Xianyu that can receive verification codes.

③Internet tools

It is a tool that can access the official websites of various web3 projects. Only by opening the Internet tool can you link to web3.

④Translation tools

Many people say they cannot understand English. After installing the translation plug-in in Google Chrome, you can directly right-click the translation and view Chinese, which basically solves the problem of not being able to understand English.

2. Account registration

1. Register for twitter

If you have a Google mailbox, you can use Google mailbox to register, or use Microsoft mailbox to register. Registration requires filling in a mobile phone number, and you may get stuck in the mobile phone verification code link.

You can try email verification or find Xianyu.

2. Register discord

3. Register telegram

The above related official website links can be obtained by adding Chuxiaolian2020.

3. Create wallet

Wallet is the most basic tool for exploring the blockchain. Wallet has public key and private key.

The public key is the wallet account number, which is a set of irregular combinations of numbers and letters, equivalent to a bank card number, and can be disclosed to the outside world. When interacting with different projects, wallet account information will be left, which is also a voucher for future airdrops.

The private key is the password of the wallet and cannot be made public. Each private key corresponds to a set of mnemonic words;

The private key is also an irregular combination of numbers and letters, and the mnemonic is a combination of 12 or 24 words that is easy to remember. Be sure to record the mnemonic phrase well, do not save it on the Internet, and do not save it as a screenshot. It is best to manually copy it in a paper book and save it.

If the mnemonic phrase is leaked, the wallet is stolen.

Anyone can operate the wallet at will as long as they obtain the mnemonic phrase or private key, and the wallet is no longer personal.

Record wallet mnemonic phrase

Steps to create a wallet on Google Chrome:

Install the Google plug-in corresponding to the wallet — create a wallet — record the mnemonic — transfer digital currency from the exchange or other places — use the wallet.

Common wallets include:

1. Little fox wallet metamask

2. Phantom wallet Phantom

3. keplr wallet

4. unisat wallet

Various wallet plugins

4. Project interaction

Basic tools and account registration are just sharpening steps. The most important thing is to choose interactive projects and how to interact.

Airdrops were originally intended to reward early users and players and serve as user incentives, but now an interactive industry chain has emerged, and there are some studios that specialize in interactive airdrops.

Register accounts in batches, imitate user interactions, and obtain possible airdrops in the future.

Therefore, there is also a case of witch detection by the project side. If it is judged to be a witch account, the air investment qualification will be cancelled.

For example, the STRK airdrop query is strict. A large number of accounts in many studios have been marked, and the airdrop income is 0.

1. How to find projects

To pay attention to whether a project has potential, you can screen and identify it from the perspectives of whether the project has been airdropped, whether it has received financing, the strength of the team, and the specific application of the project.

For example, Twitter players bigplayer.eth (@wsdxbz1) and Greta008 (@Greta0086) have shared many projects. You can follow their Twitters to learn about project information.

2. How to find tutorials

Search “project name + tutorial” on Twitter or mirrorbeats.xyz to find relevant tutorials, and you can follow the tutorials to interact.

But be careful to find a reliable airdrop tutorial blogger. Some people will change the official project website into a phishing website. Once the wallet is linked, there may be a risk of leaking the mnemonic phrase and stealing the wallet.

For example, follow bloggers such as Player Dongle (@JiamigouCn) and Zhuifeng Lab (@ZF_lab) on Twitter, and follow various project tutorials.

3. Continue to exchange

Interaction methods and frequency requirements vary from project to project.

For example, the STRK airdrop requires a minimum interaction of no less than 3 months, a transaction volume greater than 100 US dollars, and no less than 6 interactions; and in the early ENS airdrop, users who registered eth domain names all received airdrops.

A real user should be paying attention to the project for a long time before he can get an airdrop.

4. Interaction costs

Any interaction on the chain requires payment of gas. This gas is given to the miners and is a confirmation of the behavior on the chain.

Experience the project within the scope that you can afford. Even if there are no airdrops in the future, you can still afford the loss.

5. Risks of interaction

The biggest risk when doing interaction is that the project will not issue airdrops, or the airdrop income will be lower than the gas fee invested. In the end, it will be all in vain, and it will take time and energy.

Potential projects compiled by a blogger

Interaction on the chain is a long-term process. It is not just to get an airdrop for a certain project, but to experience the product is also a way to explore web3.

Blockchain has experienced 14 years of development and created many legendary stories. But those of us who are learning and participating may be able to take off and change our destiny.

Of course, there are risks and opportunities, so act according to your ability.

The above is just my personal opinion, no investment advice.
I’m CryptoLola and I follow the crypto market and web3.
