First, let me talk about the follow-up news of the Zeta strategy I posted on March 11th. The official has been silent for so long, but there is finally some information about the rewards. The XP points snapshot will be taken on May 1st, and the threshold is 200,000 XP points. This means that you only need to have 200,000 points before May 1st to qualify for the Zeta reward. The specific distribution of rewards will be determined by each DApp, and it will start on July 1st.
Congratulations to all the partners who have persisted, you are about to receive your rewards.
Now let's get back to the main topic of this article.
Artela is a L1 blockchain that focuses on scalability, with parallel EVM and native scalable programming, supporting modular development, customization, and high-performance dApps.
On May 20th, Artela launched an incentive testnet activity called "Renaissance", where participants can earn two types of points: STONE and CRYSTAL.
According to the official roadmap, Artela plans to launch its mainnet in the third quarter of 2024. This means that you have a short period of 1 month or a long period of 3 months to accumulate points. It's a good time to get involved.
The tasks are not difficult, as there are only a few things to do on the testnet, such as swapping, adding liquidity, minting, staking, and borrowing. Just focus on collecting points.
Task 0#
First, go to the official activity page:
https://renaissance.artela.network/vision?R=R45YWy
Connect your wallet as required by clicking the "Connect wallet" link. It is recommended to use the OKX wallet, as it offers a 10% bonus on points.
The activity is divided into two camps, and the camp that wins in the end will receive additional bonuses. After answering a few questions posed by the AI, the camp will be assigned based on the answers.
Use the browser's translation function to make your operation more comfortable.
The first task is to share as required in order to receive 40 CRYSTAL points.
After filling in the URL and confirming, continue the conversation. You will be given some tasks such as following and retweeting. If there are CRYSTAL points as rewards, go ahead and do them; otherwise, skip them.
Task 1#
Scroll down to the Cornerstone Quests section, which is where you can collect STONE points.
The "Next Round" in the upper right corner shows the remaining time for this round. Each DApp in the list has its own set of tasks.
Currently, there are 10 DApps, but this is not fixed and more will be added in the future. However, the operations are similar, so once you understand one, you can apply it to others.
Click on the first one, which is the task to claim test tokens.
Click the "Complete" button, then click the "Go" button to be redirected to the faucet webpage.
Connect your wallet and click the "claim tokens" button to get the test tokens. Then wait for them to be credited to your account.
There may be a long queue, so you can set it aside for now.
You can also claim tokens in the DC group, but they cannot be verified through tasks and can only be used for later interaction tasks.
Go to the "testnet-faucet" channel in the image above and enter:
$request address
The bot will reply to you and send you 1 test token.
Task 2#
Next, click on the second task, "ArtexSwap". There are three tasks: follow on Twitter, swap tokens, and add liquidity.
Connect your wallet and then choose any token to swap, except for WART.
Switch to the "Pool" page as shown above, and click the "Add" button.
Select the recently swapped token (DAI in this case), and first click "Approve" and then "Supply".
Once done, return to the page to verify the task.
Task 3#
The third task, "Co-NFT", is an NFT task where you need to mint an NFT and list it on the marketplace.
Click the "Mint" button, and on the following page, link your wallet as required.
After linking your wallet, you will be asked to add a Telegram account. If you don't have one, click "I don't have it" to skip this step.
If you are not redirected back to the minting page, close it and click on the task in the list again to successfully mint the NFT.
After successfully minting, close the page and wait for about 5 minutes. Refresh the page until you can see the newly minted NFT in the "My NFTs" section.
Click the "List via Conft" button and list it for sale with any price.
Go back to the task list to verify the task status.
Task 4#
Next, the task "Symmetric Finance". Again, follow on Twitter, swap tokens, and add liquidity.
Upon entering, you will find that the website is very slow, but you have to bear with it in order to earn points.
First, connect your wallet, and then exchange some tokens, except for wART.
Switch to the "Pool" page, and click the "Add" button.
Choose the token you just swapped (DAI in this case), and first click "Approve" and then "Supply".
Once done, return to the page and verify the task.
Task 5#
Next, the task "Co-NFT" is an NFT task where you need to mint an NFT and list it on the marketplace.
Choose the H5 page to enter.
Link your wallet and click the "Fair Mint" button to mint the NFT. After a successful minting, go back to the task list to verify the task.
Task 6#
Next, the task "ZAN.TOP". Experience a secure product and mint an NFT.
Link your wallet and click "Scan Risk" to perform the risk check.
After the check is complete, scroll down and click "Mint" to mint the NFT. Then, go back to the task list to verify the task.
Task 7#
Next, the task "Meridian". You need to interact by depositing and borrowing.
After linking your wallet, you will see the page shown above. Click the "Open Trove" button.
Fill in a small amount and click "Confirm".
Switch to the "Stability" page and click the "Deposit" button.
Deposit all the USDM you just received. Then, go back to the task list to verify the task.
Task 8#
Next, the task "Accumulated Finance".
If you have done ZetaHub, you should be familiar with this. The operations are the same, but this time on the Artela testnet.
There is no requirement for the amount of staking, so just stake any amount.
Enter any amount and then click the "Mint" button.
Then, stake the stART you just minted. Click "Approve" first, and then click the illuminated "Stake" button.
Once done, go back to the task list to verify the task.
Task 9#
Next, the task "Metopia".
This one is even simpler. Just mint two NFTs on the webpage.
These are the two items. Click the "Check" button first, and then click the "Mint" button. Mint both of them, and the task will be completed.
Task 10#
This is the last task for now (more tasks will be added in the future), "Artemis".
This one gives a lot of points, 110 in total.
First, do the Swap task; otherwise, you won't have tokens to add liquidity.
Exchange some WETH or WBTC.
The website may be slow, so you need to be patient.
After completing the swap, proceed to the Provide liquidity task.
To add liquidity, use the WBTC you just obtained to buy ALP.
The button may not be clickable because you haven't checked the confirmation box indicated by the arrow. Click it.
The bottom right corner may take a while to load, so you have to wait.
For the last task, "Trade", you will need more ART test tokens. You can go to the faucet and claim more tokens.
I also failed many times when doing this task, so keep trying until you succeed.
Conclusion#
This covers all the tasks available at the moment. Although this is a project by Chinese developers, it is a testnet with clear airdrop rewards, and you can even see the approximate mainnet launch time on the roadmap.
If you want to make some risk-free gains, don't miss out on such opportunities.
