How to Position for Metamask Airdrop

Metamask Airdrop is coming and we have been educating on how to be positioned for it. By the way, this is for those that are yet to do the needful, at least to stand a chance. This is not 100 percent guaranteed.

There have been discussions on the MetaMask airdrop in 2020. Previously, a large number of decentralized projects, including Uniswap, rewarded early users of the project through airdrop when launching tokens, while several airdrops with high rewards, such as ENS and dYdX, aroused strong FOMO sentiment in the whole community. Therefore, the news that metamask is about to launch tokens undoubtedly rekindled people's imagination of metamask airdrops. So, how to complete the interaction with MetaMask?

The first step in using MetaMask is to select the appropriate application version. At present, as an online wallet application, MetaMask has launched a browser plug-in version and a mobile App version. The browser plug-in version of MetaMask supports Firefox browser and a variety of browsers with Chromium as the core, such as Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc. The mobile version supports both IOS and Android. Here we take MetaMask on the Brave browser as an example.

After successfully installing the plug-in, users need to create their own wallet address, set account password and copy wallet mnemonics. A wallet address can be divided into a public key and a private key. The public key is like the address in the address book, and the private key is the key to the door. Wallet mnemonics are calculated according to the private key, which is a form of convenient memory and recording. Therefore, you need to pay special attention to keeping your private key. It's best to copy it on paper and keep it properly.

After the address configuration is completed, the wallet has been configured with the Ethereum main network and four test networks by default. On the faucet website of test network, you can receive test tokens, test transfer, transaction and other functions. The faucet website of Ropsten test network is: https://faucet.egorfine.com/. In addition, users can also configure blockchain networks such as Polygon and Arbitrum by themselves. Compared with Ethereum's main network, the transaction speed is faster and the gas fee is lower.

After entering the asset page, you can see the three main functions of the wallet, including token purchase, transfer and Swap. Swap is the Dex aggregation service mentioned above. You can enter the Swap function after switching to the Polygon network to complete the interaction at a lower handling fee.

Conclusion

In the future, MetaMask may continue to expand its ecology and cross over to Polkadot, Solana and other chains. Due to the extremely high number of users and transactions of the project, MetaMakes may set a certain threshold for airdrop, such as the total value threshold of the numbers held in the wallet, the transaction volume threshold on MetaMask Swap, etc. No matter whether the future airdrop really exists or whether there is an opportunity to participate, learning how to use MetaMask is a necessary ticket to enter the world of DeFi and embrace the future of Web 3.0.
