The high-performance layer 1 blockchain Monad launched a targeted Airdrop campaign to reward active users of Farcaster.
There are 77,000 users receiving MON TestNet tokens, a unique opportunity to explore Monad’s growing ecosystem through the Warpcast mobile app. This guide will walk you through how to check the balance of Mon tokens and now use these test network tokens.
What is Farcaster?
Farcaster is a decentralized social protocol that gives users complete control over their identity and content. It was founded in 2020 by Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan, both former co-judge executives. The protocol is designed to enable public participation and data portability across applications without centralized control, similar to how emails run.
Farcaster has attracted a lot of venture capital support. As of May 2024, the project raised a total of US$180 million.
Warpcast is a flagship customer built on top of Farcaster. Its functionality is similar to social media apps like X, but with native support like wallets, token transfers, and chain chain identities.

If you missed this Mon Testnet Didi, please rest assured that you still have the opportunity to participate in the future. However, this may indicate that your activity on Farcaster is not enough to meet the eligibility criteria.
To improve your chances next time, please post regularly, react to other people’s content and verify your identity.

What can you do with MON test tokens?
The latest distribution of MON TestNet tokens marks the first major integration of Monad and the Farcaster ecosystem. By sending tokens to 77,000 qualified accounts, Monad’s aim is to encourage experimentation and early adoption of its developer tools and upcoming mini-apps.
Although these tokens have no monetary value, they are the portal to the Monad TestNet environment. Recipients can use MON tokens with early applications built in Monad, test smart contract functionality, and send prompts in the Farcaster ecosystem.
Users are also advised to keep some MON in the hope of an upcoming app launch, which may require a token to participate.
