GenLayer's current airdrop task design is quite interesting, especially catering to Builders who want to get hands-on. If you're interested in participating, this guide can help you get started quickly.

**Phase One: Basic Setup**

Start with the simplest steps—connect your MetaMask wallet and claim your initial points. Then link your GitHub account, and don't forget to give a Star to the official GenLayer repository. These seemingly tedious steps are actually paving the way for on-chain operations later.

**Phase Two: Network Configuration**

This is where you need to get hands-on. First, add the GenLayer Asimov Network to your wallet. Then, a key step—fund your wallet with GEN testnet tokens. The way to do this is through a Faucet. Visit the official test token Faucet, scroll to the bottom of the page, complete the CAPTCHA, and you'll receive test tokens. Remember, the main purpose of the Faucet is to ensure you have enough balance to deploy contracts, not to hoard test tokens. After completing this, continue by adding the Studio Network.

**Phase Three: Core Actions**

Now comes the truly critical part—deploy your first GenLayer contract. This on-chain activity is the core of the task and is highly valued by the ecosystem. Many participants get stuck at this step, but if you actually deploy, you're already ahead of most people.

**Additional Points Mechanism**

Besides basic tasks, there are other ways to accumulate points. Log in to related platforms with your X account, complete activity tasks, and keep accumulating. Joining the Discord community is also worthwhile, as you can obtain a Builder status, which is very helpful for future ecosystem participation.

**A Note**

If you want to take a more complex route, you can bridge from Sepolia to GEN. But for most people, using the Faucet is enough to complete all necessary contract deployments.

The value of early projects like GenLayer lies in three aspects: actual on-chain deployment actions, linking GitHub developer identities, and long-term ecosystem participation willingness. These are the key factors in judging whether a Builder is serious.
