1. Test coin claiming failed

> The faucet continuously distributes test coins, but the claiming situation varies due to user differences, which may lead to failures due to network issues, address detection failures, abnormal balances, etc.

> A large number of automated scripts are grabbing resources, affecting some normal users' claims.

> The official team has adjusted the Faucet rules multiple times, but it still cannot fully satisfy everyone, so it is recommended to try various methods to claim.

> Monad primarily encourages users to test interactions and discover bugs, has not announced airdrop rules, and does not recommend calculating airdrops too early.

> Follow the community and team members on Twitter, as there may be additional activities for claiming test coins.

2. Transaction failed and deducted 2.73 MON

• Under the EVM mechanism, Gas estimation must be performed before transactions, and estimation failure may lead to:

> Transactions directly report errors and do not execute.

> Some wallets (like MetaMask) automatically set Gas Limit to maximum, and after failure, directly deduct 2.73 MON.

➡️ Avoidance methods:

• If the wallet prompts **'Transaction may fail'**, please do not continue sending the transaction.

• This issue will not occur on the mainnet, as the mainnet's Gas mechanism is different.

• The official team is currently compiling problematic DApps and optimizing Gas calculations.

3. Monad popular DApps (like Fantasy Top) delays & RPC status

> Public RPC load is too high (over ten thousand TPS per second) + DDoS attacks, causing interaction delays.

> It is recommended to use QuickNode/Alchemy free RPC instead of public RPC to improve stability.

> Self-built RPC is not currently open.

> The testnet is iterating frequently (over 40 updates already).

> Node operation requirements are high, and physical machine deployment is needed, making management difficult.

> After the testnet stabilizes, RPC deployment may be opened, and the official team will announce on Twitter in a timely manner.

Summary for the lazy ⬇️

👉 Test coin claiming: Rules are being adjusted; it is recommended to try different methods; follow official channels for additional claiming opportunities.

👉 Transaction failure deduction: Pay attention to Gas Limit estimation issues, and do not force execution of transactions upon failure prompts.

👉 RPC and DApps delays: Public RPC load is too high; it is recommended to use third-party RPC, and self-built RPC may be opened in the future.
