Berachain Testnet Interaction Guide: A Step-by-Step Tutorial on How to Get Potential Airdrop Opportunities
Author: Deep Tide TechFlow
Berachain is a DeFi-based EVM-compatible L1 built on the Cosmos SDK. Liquidity Consensus Proof is the consensus mechanism adopted by Berachain, which allows Berachain to choose to stake multiple assets (BERA, ETH, BTC, stablecoins, etc.) to validators through liquidity proof. At the same time, these staked assets will be used to provide liquidity to the chain's native virtualized AMM, enhancing capital production efficiency.
The Berachain token economy introduces a three-token system: $BERA --- Gas token, $HONEY --- stablecoin, $BGT --- governance token. Among them, $BGT cannot be purchased on the secondary market; it is a non-transferable NFT, and holders can receive a certain proportion of the fees generated on Berachain.
On April 20, 2023, Berachain announced the completion of a $42 million Series A funding round led by Polychain Capital.
Recently, Berachain has also opened the public testnet Artio. As is well known, the testnet is a key step to obtaining token airdrops. Below are the detailed instructions on how to participate in this testnet interaction.
Step 1: Add BERA Network
Add the BERA network on Metamask. Participants can access the Berachain testnet address, click on the wallet connection in the upper right corner, and add the BERA network in Metamask.
If there is a connection error, you can also manually add the network in Metamask. Here are the detailed parameters:
Network: Berachain Artio
RPC URL: https://artio.rpc.berachain.com
Chain ID: 80085
Currency Symbol: BERA
Blockchain Explorer URL: https://artio.beratrail.io
Step 2: Claim Test Tokens
Go to the faucet address to obtain BERA test tokens. Enter your wallet address in the table field in the image below. Note that you can only claim 0.25 testnet $BERA tokens every 8 hours. If you are a holder of Bong Bears NFT, you can go to this website to claim additional BERA test tokens.
### Step 3: Start Interaction
Go to Berachain's Dex and perform the following operations:
Switch to the Berachain testnet address and connect your wallet;
Use the Swap function in the DEX to exchange $BERA for $STGUSDC, and you can repeat the exchange multiple times.
Visit the $HONEY minting website to mint some STGUSDC into HONEY.
Then go to the liquidity mining page, select the STGUSDC---HONEY pool (do not use up all HONEY), and add liquidity to earn BGT.
Next, go to the testnet lending website, connect your wallet, and select HONEY under Available to Supply to provide it.
Finally, visit the contract trading test website ------ Berps, connect your wallet, click to start trading, and you can participate in the contract trading test. It is recommended that the amount of $HONEY for each trade should not be less than 10.
After completing the above tasks, you can also go to the official Berachain marketing page on Galxe to claim an NFT proof of participation in the event.
