The bull market is imminent, and 2024 is the last year for many web3 projects to launch. Currently, many projects are in the testnet phase. The incentive testnet is a simple and effective way to qualify for airdrops by actively participating in testing, verifying, and providing feedback on the functionality, security, and performance of blockchain or cryptocurrency projects in exchange for tokens or other forms of incentives. These incentives encourage users to participate before the mainnet launch and contribute to the development and improvement of the network.

Participation in incentive testnets has attracted substantial airdrop rewards in the past. Projects like Binance Smart Chain and Aptos have rewarded their testnet participants with substantial airdrops. Many other projects in the testnet phase have confirmed token allocations for testnet users.

The best incentive testnets worth participating in 2024 will be detailed below, along with a testnet interaction guide.
