XP: how to earn more (and avoid mistakes)
Step 1 — Join & onboard
Register at the testnet portal, connect wallet, meet Phaeton, claim faucet tokens, and complete the initial guided flow.
- Use a wallet with prior mainnet activity.
- Finish all onboarding prompts to unlock your first XP.
Step 2 — Daily & core tasks
Open the daily quests area and rotate through activities:
- Governance voting on active proposals.
- Stake or delegate testnet tokens to validators.
- Use the bridge between supported chains.
- Interact with integrated dApps (swaps, NFTs, domains, jobs marketplace, etc.).
Step 3 — Referrals
Share your referral code; earn XP for completed onboardings and a percentage of referred users’ XP (as described in-app).
Step 4 — Multipliers
Role tags can amplify all future XP. Some are automatic; others require review (check Discord). Maintain consistent activity to qualify.
Comparison: why Helios testnet vs simple faucet clicking?
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Helios XP program | Rich tasks (governance, staking, bridge, dApps); multipliers & referrals; strong sybil resistance | Requires daily consistency; airdrop unconfirmed (TBA) |
| Basic faucet farming | Low effort; quick start | Usually low value; limited learning; weak sybil defenses |
FAQ
Is the airdrop confirmed?
No. The team has not announced a confirmed airdrop. The XP program is designed to identify genuine participants for a potential future distribution. Treat all allocations/dates as TBA until official posts appear.
Where do I see my XP and tags?
Your dashboard in the testnet portal shows XP, levels, and role tags. Updates may lag during periods of high activity.
What wallets are supported?
Any EVM-compatible wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, etc.). Cosmos tooling may be exposed where relevant.
How do referrals work?
Share your code; you receive XP for successful onboardings and a percentage of referred users’ XP according to program rules shown in-app.
Are there costs or risks?
Activities use test tokens (no purchase required). Time is the main cost, and eligibility is not guaranteed. Beware of phishing; use only the official portal and explorer.
Risks & notes
- Always verify URLs; use only official links and the explorer.
- XP systems change; tasks/multipliers can be updated without notice.
- Some features, partners, and stats are evolving; consider unlisted specifics as TBA until confirmed by the team.
