Is Binance's airdrop of 20 million tokens not enough? The 'arbitrageurs' on the ERA testnet have already made a fortune with scripts
When Binance airdropped 20 million ERA to HODLers, some people complained it was 'too little', but those who claimed it are now laughing uncontrollably: at the current price, a holder of 1 BTC received at least 1000 tokens, directly pocketing 1000 USD! But the real 'arbitrage kings' have long been eyeing the Caldera testnet — deploying a simple smart contract on it can earn 50 ERA; testing cross-chain transfers adds another 30 ERA; even reporting bugs on the new chain can earn up to 1000 ERA!
One programmer wrote an automated interaction script in Python, completing 100 tasks across 5 test chains within 24 hours, earning 12,000 ERA in 7 days, cashing out 12,000 USD, which is even higher than his regular salary! Now, the testnet adds over 8000 new users daily, forcing the project team to add servers and quietly increase reward amounts — this opportunity for 'risk-free arbitrage' might really be missed if you don't get on board before the mainnet upgrade next year.
Don't sell the ERA you earned directly! Stake it in the Caldera ecosystem's 'fuel pool' to earn a share of the transaction fees from all chains, with an annualized return stabilizing at 12%-18%, which is like 'earning wool from wool'. Someone earned 600 USD by staking 5000 ERA for over half a year; this move is simply like putting 'found money' into a fixed deposit!
