How to Farm the GenLayer Airdrop

Step 1: Visit the GenLayer Points Portal

Connect your wallet to the GenLayer Points Portal. This is where you can see all of your missions, points, and leaderboard rankings.

Step 2: Complete Your Profile

Update your profile and connect your social media accounts (Discord, GitHub, Twitter/X). This guarantees that all contributions are correctly credited to your account and unlocks profile-linked missions.

Step 3: Earn Your First Points on GitHub

Star the GenLayer repository after connecting your GitHub account. Without any technical obstacles, this is the quickest method to acquire starting points.

Step 4: Claim Testnet Tokens

Go to the GenLayer Testnet Faucet, link your wallet, and add the GenLayer Bradbury network. Claim testnet GEN to start using the protocol.

Step 5: Deploy a Smart Contract on GenLayer Studio

Connect your wallet to GenLayer Studio. In the Run and Debug panel, deploy llm_erc20.py and confirm the transaction to record on-chain activity at your address.

Step 6: Complete Portal Missions

Return to the portal and work through available quests across all three contribution tracks:

• Builders — deploy contracts, build dApps, submit hackathon projects
• Validators — join the waitlist, run AI nodes, complete validator quests
• Community — create educational content, host IRL events, build bots or tools

Step 7: Participate in the Testnet Bradbury Hackathon

To get Builder Points and a chance to win more than $5,000 in cash prizes, submit a project through the portal between March 20 and April 10. On the hackathon page in the portal, you can find the project requirements and how to submit them.

Step 8: Refer Builders for Bonus Points

To get 10% of each builder’s points, share your referral link from the referral program page. Referrals stack, which makes this a good passive multiplier if you are active in developer communities.

Tips for Maximizing GenLayer Points

Prioritize the Builders track: Building dApps and deploying contracts gets you a lot more points than doing social tasks. Put your technical effort here first.

Submit to the hackathon before April 10: The barrier to entry is low, and even a basic intelligent contract is eligible for builder points in addition to prize eligibility.

Check the portal weekly for new missions: There are only a certain number of points available for each quest, and new ones are added all the time. The earlier you finish, the more points you get.
