The chain abstraction track has been discussed many times, and there will definitely be a unicorn in the second half of the year to link all B-end and C-end users, so the Particle wallet airdrop should not be interrupted.

1. Introduction of New Features and Activities

Particle Network launched the second phase of its testnet on the 21st of this month, with the first phase having over 1.3 million test users and more than 120 million transactions.

The second phase will be the last stage before the mainnet, and users participating in the test will accumulate points as rewards, making it the best stage for zero-cost users to accumulate funds.

The second phase upgrades two core features:

• Universal Liquidity: Integrates cross-chain balances for seamless interaction with dApps on any chain
• Universal Gas: Allows transaction fees to be paid with any token and automatically uses the most cost-effective route

In other words, the addition of these two features allows us to directly use a universal account (AA wallet) to aggregate any on-chain balance and use any token as gas fees to interact with dApps on any chain.

This testnet is designed for us to experience these features, such as using liquidity to purchase NFTs, where purchasing an NFT can earn you 100 points, with a daily limit of 10 purchases.

2. Particle Network Raises $25 Million in Funding

Particle Network has always narrated "one account, one balance, any chain," achieving significant results through over half a year of technical accumulation.

The recent addition of funding has brought Particle Network's total funding to $25 million, making Animoca Ventures, LongHash Ventures, and Alibaba Group not just investors but also project OGs.

If you have already participated in the first phase tasks, please skip to tasks three and four in this article to continue the subsequent interactions (tasks three and the first phase interactions are different).

(2) Claim Testnet Tokens (Key Point)

Regardless of the phase, testnet tokens are necessary. Many people say they can't claim them, which is quite frustrating. Without testnet tokens, all interactions cannot be performed. Here are a few relatively simple methods to obtain them:

(1) ETH Test Tokens

Solution:

• Claim 0.5 ETH test tokens from Infura

Link: https://faucetlink.to (Faucet aggregation site)

If you can't find the test tokens after claiming, it means you are "a very new user." Please add the network in your wallet:

• Network Name: Sepolia Test Network
• RPC URL: https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/
• Chain ID: 11155111
• Currency Symbol: SepoliaETH
• Block Explorer URL (optional): https://sepolia.etherscan.io

If you have tried many methods and still can't get tokens, you can directly purchase them: https://testnetbridge.com/sepolia

You don't have to use ETH; BSC and ARB are also acceptable. The collection of testnet faucet links is as follows: https://link.medium.com/FMVJha9RJKb

After obtaining testnet tokens, you need to cross-chain to Optimism Sepolia; we will have a tutorial for this in task three.
After claiming tokens, go to the official website: https://pioneer.particle.network?inviteCode=A58DD1

• Click POINS to enter the points tasks

Step 1: Complete Task 2: Transfer ETH Sepolia to Particle Testnet

Scroll down the interface to find the tasks. The official order is TASK 1--4, but we will not follow the official order here; the quick sequence is as follows:

• Transfer ETH Sepolia to Particle Testnet
• Click DEPOSIT
• Click DEPOSIT UNIVERSAL GAS;

Note: The operation here converts native test tokens from other chains into the universal gas USDG on the Particle Pioneer platform, which is used for gas fee burning in the interactions below. Testnet tokens are hard to obtain, so please cherish them and do not convert all your testnet tokens into USDG at this step.

Step 2: Complete Task 3: Transfer ETH Test Tokens, Complete Cross-Chain (Key Point)

Since Task 1 and Task 4 need to be completed on the Optimism Sepolia chain, we need to cross the claimed testnet ETH to the Optimism Sepolia chain.

The previous solution was to use the Optimism official testnet bridge, but it is often inaccessible. With the launch of "Universal Liquidity" in Particle Network's second phase, we can directly handle cross-chain transactions in the Particle wallet as follows:

Necessary Step 1: Transfer ETH Sepolia to Particle Wallet

• Open the Particle Network wallet (1), copy the wallet address;
• Open the MetaMask wallet, click send, paste the Particle Network wallet address, and send.

Please ensure that MetaMask is on the Ethereum-Sepolia chain (provided you have claimed ETH test tokens), and you do not need to reserve ETH, as the gas fee for the Particle wallet is USDG.

Necessary Step 2: Cross ETH Sepolia from Particle Wallet to Optimism Sepolia;

• Copy the Particle wallet address
• Click ETH
• Click Send
• Paste your Particle wallet address

• Click Send
• Confirm in the MetaMask wallet
• Complete the cross-chain

You can repeat this process, and you can also transfer between Particle wallet and MetaMask; each completed transaction earns 100 points, and you can do up to 50 transactions daily.

Step 3: Complete Task 1: Daily Check-In

• Click CHECK-IN
• Click CONFIRM

Complete Task Four
Scroll down the page to find TASK 4

• Click PURCHASE NFT

• Click PURCHASE

• Select Token
• Click NFT

• Confirm in MetaMask
• Purchase successful

Purchasing an NFT can earn you 100 points, with a daily limit of 10 purchases.

More points mean more opportunities to earn more $PARTI tokens, so do not let the points drop; fill them up every day. It is reported that holding $ALY and CAPYBARA NFTs can earn more rewards.
