🧠 Topic: What are mainnet, testnet, devnet — and how is it related to airdrops, nodes, and chances to earn earlier than everyone else

🔧 3 levels of blockchain that you need to understand:

Level Purpose Real money?
#Devnet -Internal tests, for developers ❌ No
#testnet -Public testing of the project ❌ No
#Mainnet -Mainnet, everything works "for real"✅ Yes

🧪 Devnet is the "kitchen" where the project first deploys the code, tests the core, architecture, nodes.
⚙️ Examples: nodes are launched, synchronization is checked, blocks are simulated.
📦 Closed or semi-open environment. Participants: developers, validators.

🧪 Testnet is the public version of the project where any actions can be performed for free, but tokens and transactions are fake.
✅ Here you can:
— Test the interface and DeFi products
— Get test tokens from a faucet
— Leave feedback → often the project then drops tokens for this!

💡 Some testnets are full-fledged campaigns that gather the community before launch.

🌐 Mainnet is the "combat mode". All actions in the network = real, real funds are spent on them.
🚀 After tests and audits, the project enters mainnet → this is where trading, farming, staking, etc. are launched.

🎯 How this relates to airdrops and earnings:

Devnet / Testnet
🧪 Complete tasks, help the project, leave feedback
→ you may be rewarded with tokens upon entry into mainnet
→ examples: Celestia, Starknet, zkSync, LayerZero

Mainnet
🚀 You can already interact with the project "for real":
farming, staking, DeFi, participation in DAO
→ often projects reward early users of mainnet activity
→ example: $ARB from Arbitrum

Nodes and validators
📡 If you launched nodes in devnet or testnet
→ a great chance to receive a large drop or delegation
→ example: $TIA (Celestia), $SUI , ZETA

📌 In short:

Devnet — you join if you know how to launch nodes

Testnet — you participate even if you are a beginner (use case, interface)

Mainnet — when it's time to "cash in" on experience and skills

🧠 Conclusion:
In crypto, it's not the one who "waits for the drop" that wins, but the one who understands at what stage the project is and how to enter it.
Work with testnets today → and earn in mainnet tomorrow.
