On 20 October, the Aptos Foundation airdropped 20,076,150 APT<\/a> tokens to more than 100,000 early participants. Some were lucky to get as much as $6,000 in crypto for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a significant part of the crypto community was too late to know about the airdrop, or just failed to fulfil the requirements on time. If you are among them and feel sorry \u2014 chin up! Here are 3 more cool airdrops still to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sui Network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the network previously claimed they are not planning any airdrops, it seems like there will eventually be one. Layer-one chain SUI is about to airdrop tokens to users of its testnet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To increase your chances of being selected for an airdrop, download the SUI wallet<\/a> Google Chrome extension and fill it with SUI testnet tokens. They are available for free through SUI\u2019s Discord server<\/a> or from a SUI faucet on its NFT Marketplace<\/a>. Then, go back to your SUI Wallet, click on the \u201cApps\u201d tab, and try to interact with as many of them as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

zkSync <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A L2 rollup zkSync is a scaling and privacy engine for Ethereum. There are a lot of rumors about its potential airdrop along with guidelines on how to join it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, you need to interact with the zkSync testnet, perform some bridging activities to zkSync, interact with various decentralized applications, an NFT platform, and wallet service. You can find more details<\/a> in their Twitter thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BeraChain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BeraChain, an EVM-compatible Layer 1, has recently confirmed it will be doing an airdrop for its native token, Bera. There may also be an airdrop for $BGT, a non-transferrable ERC-721 token.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landing on BeraChain\u2019s airdrop is more complicated than on the previous two. The easiest way to participate is to own a Bong Bears NFT<\/a>, a collection created by Berachain\u2019s team. However, these NFTs currently have a floor price of 115 $ETH \u2014 too expensive for most users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second way to qualify for airdrops is by getting on their honeylist, otherwise known as Discord roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to catch up with upcoming airdrops?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are simple but effective tips that may help you to be aware of the upcoming crypto, NFT and utility tokens airdrops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Scroll Twitter more often, and pay attention to announcements from crypto communities and firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Use hashtags #airdrop, #giveaway, etc. to search for new possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Read crypto-related news websites and social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

MetaMask is one of the most popular wallets today. It\u2019s free of charge, easy to use, and can be connected to virtually any Ethereum-based platform. Let\u2019s learn more about it and try to install the wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is MetaMask<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a software, non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet that enables users to store, transfer and receive Ether and other ERC-20 tokens. MetaMask works as a browser extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to use MetaMask<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can manage their MetaMask wallets via the mobile application, as well as via the browser plugin that works with Chrome, Firefox and Opera. To use the wallet, one should be registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does MetaMask work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It serves as a bridge between the Ethereum network and your browser. MetaMask operates with JavaScript, and appears on the web page you\u2019re on in case you want to connect your wallet to some dapps, or process a payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is MetaMask used for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MetaMask allows users to store and swap cryptocurrencies, interact with the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem, and host a growing number of decentralized applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MetaMask supported coins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wallet supports over 450,000 coins across the Ethereum Network, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Avalanche. Recently it also started supporting NFT assets. MetaMask doesn\u2019t support BTC, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MetaMask fee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A service fee of 0.875% is automatically factored into each quote. Users also pay gas for transactions. There are three fee options: low \u2014 lowest price and speed, market \u2014 a medium price for reasonable speed, aggressive \u2014 biggest fee and the highest transaction speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is MetaMask safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MetaMask claims to be focused on privacy. The wallet is backed by a large community of users and developers who are constantly reviewing and updating their source code. There have not been any major hacking incidents yet. However, the biggest risk about MetaMask is that it\u2019s a hot wallet which might be vulnerable to online threats like hacking, phishing, and theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to set up MetaMask<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, let\u2019s try to create our own MetaMask wallet in two simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1. Download and install MetaMask<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to https:\/\/metamask.io\/<\/a> and click the download button. Choose your browser (e.g. Chrome), then click on \u201cInstall MetaMask for Chrome\u2019\u2019. It will take you to the store where you should click on \u201cAdd to Chrome\u201d. The extension will appear in the plugin menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Create an account.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on the extension icon in the upper right corner to open MetaMask. Click \u201cTry it now\u201d to install the latest version. Then click \u201cContinue\u201d. Think up a new password and click \u201cCreate\u201d. Proceed by clicking Next and accept the Terms of Use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we have come up to the most important moment \u2014 the secret phrase. It\u2019s a 12 word seed phrase, and the only thing to recover your password in case you forget it. Click \u201cReveal Secret Words<\/a>\u201d. It\u2019s recommended not to store the phrase digitally, so better take your time and write it down on a paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verify your secret phrase by selecting the previously generated phrase in order. Click \u201cConfirm\u201d. Hooray! You have created your MetaMask account successfully.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How to Create and Setup MetaMask Wallet?

This week, we had a chance to talk with our partner, <\/em>Forward Protocol<\/em><\/a>. They develop a user-friendly framework for fast blockchain adoption using smart contracts and Web3 apps.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked Forward Protocol about the impact DeFi had on investors, and how it can boost the global economy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you find the most fascinating about DeFi?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeFi\u2019s most revolutionary feature is arguably the empowerment it brings to its users. People can finally reclaim complete control over their finances and assets. They no longer rely on the few to make decisions that will deeply impact their lives without the possibility of influencing said decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What impact did it have on traditional investors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeFi, the first and most widely known application field of blockchain technology with Bitcoin, has steadily been at the forefront of popularizing cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. As decentralized finance evolves and catches the attention of more institutional players, it inevitably heads toward regulation and streamlining its operation. This builds confidence in the eyes of traditional investors and eliminates the biggest doubts they have had about cryptocurrency until now, such as scams and unpredictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will traditional players invest in DeFi more?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are already seeing major VCs breaking into the crypto space as they are starting to realize the technology\u2019s immense potential. This trend will only intensify in the future following the spread of blockchain technology in exponentially more industries. One such great example is CV VC<\/a>, which has granted us the honor of making Forward<\/a> the first crypto project to invest in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What issues about DeFi do traditional investors find the most challenging?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of the most challenging aspects that are cause for concern for traditional investors are cryptocurrency\u2019s volatility and its speculative nature. Often, we, as professionals involved in the crypto industry, forget that blockchain is, by and large, an enigma for the majority of people. Crypto has consolidated its place neither in the daily life of the average Joe nor in the investment assets list of most of the traditional investment firms because they are still observing this new trend and waiting for the dust to settle before they deem it safe enough to include in their portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can DeFi contribute to the global economy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeFi will be a pivotal instrument in the democratization of financial services. It not only provides inclusion in the financial system of people who were otherwise excluded, but it also puts everyone in charge of their own money. What can be more empowering than that? DeFi will soon (if not already) equal social equality, individual empowerment and transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s thank Forward Protocol for such encouraging and optimistic answers!<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Forward Protocol: \u201cMajor VCs are already breaking into DeFi\u201d","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"forward-protocol-major-vcs-are-already-breaking-into-defi","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2022-12-19 09:33:38","post_modified_gmt":"2022-12-19 09:33:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/78.47.81.216\/?p=550","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":610,"post_author":"7","post_date":"2022-12-02 13:48:19","post_date_gmt":"2022-12-02 13:48:19","post_content":"\n

Seasoned traders see each bear market<\/a> as a great possibility to invest in crypto. All you need to do is to overcome fears and find a suitable strategy. Let\u2019s examine possible scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBuy the dip\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This famous phrase means buying cryptocurrency after its price has dropped. The idea here is that the new lower price represents a bargain as the \"dip\" is only a short-term decrease, and the asset is likely to bounce back and grow in value with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all trading strategies, buying the dips does not guarantee profits. Assets can lose price for many reasons, including changes to their underlying value. The main risk of \u201cbuying the dip\u201d is that you never know the moment when prices will go even lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diversify your portfolio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During each bear trend, some assets usually get hit harder than others. To minimize losses and get profit from growing assets, smart traders advise to keep a diversified crypto portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means investing not only in BTC or ETH, but try purchasing other promising cryptocurrencies or NFTs. There are a lot of: Avalanche, Uniswap, and even meme coins like Shiba Inu. While most of the traders will be focused on pulling out their Bitcoins during the crypto winter, less notable coins will have some chances to surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make recurring buys<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bear market<\/a> doesn\u2019t last one day. That\u2019s why you don\u2019t need to hurry and buy all the desired volume at once. Monitor crypto prices, create an optimal spot order, and purchase some coins without panic. Repeat in 2-3 days or in a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This strategy will help you to be aware of all price changes, and to wait for the moment when the asset\u2019s price will be really good to buy. Otherwise, you may feel sore after purchasing 100 SOL for $14,5 last week, while today you could buy 107 SOL for $13,5 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look for passive income <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are still too afraid to buy any cryptocurrency amidst the bear market<\/a>, look for easier ways of receiving profit. For example, crypto staking<\/a> and crypto lending allow you to earn passive income with the assets you already have, and require no additional investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don\u2019t forget about various airdrops and giveaways: many projects hold them despite all the market downturns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final advice to survive the crypto winter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the bear market, almost each crypto asset suffers a significant price drop. No one can guarantee that the prices will go up again. However, it is useful so study some trends and analytics to see what happened to BTC, ETH, SOL and other popular cryptos after such drops: new peaks and bullish periods.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How To Invest In The Crypto Bear Market?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"how-to-invest-in-the-crypto-bear-market","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-28 14:36:54","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-28 14:36:54","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/78.47.81.216\/?p=610","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"likes":"1","lang":"en","translations":{"en":598,"ru":1586},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=598"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":606,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598\/revisions\/606"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=598"},{"taxonomy":"authors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ag.qubiq.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fauthors&post=598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
