Sei Network Airdrop Guide

How to Qualify for Sei Airdrop

To be eligible for the Sei Network airdrop, users will need to participate in their incentivized testnet program. This testnet is designed to reward early community members who interact with the Layer 1 blockchain and the applications that are being deployed on the protocol.

The proof is outlined on the official Sei Network Twitter account announced to the public that they will be assigning 1% of the token supply to the incentivized testnet. Continue reading our guide to find which applications to use to earn your airdrop whitelist spot.

‍

1. Bridge to Sei Network

The first step as always to earn an airdrop from a new Layer 1 blockchain is to bridge to the network. If you are looking to bridge to Sei Network from Ethereum or other popular blockchains like Polygon, BNB Chain or Arbitrum, you will need to use the Vortex Bridge. Simply connect your wallet, select the token you want to bridge and finalize your transaction to transfer tokens to the network.

2. Trade on Vortex Protocol

Vortex Protocol is one of the first applications that has announced a partnership with the Sei Network. Investors can connect their Keplr or Cosmos wallet to the Vortex application and make a trade on their decentralized exchange (DEX) to earn tokens from the Sei Network airdrop.

3. Mint UXD Stablecoins

UXDProtocol is the first stablecoin application that has migrated to the Sei Network and is participating in their network incentivization scheme. To meet this eligibility requirement, users will need to visit the application to mint UXD stablecoins then stake it to the protocol. You can stake UXD stablecoins at https://stake.uxd.fi/.

How to Get Sei Testnet Tokens

If you are interested in testing applications on the Sei Testnet (or Devnet), you will want to get Sei Testnet tokens from their official faucet.
