R2, an RWA stablecoin yield protocol, has officially launched its testnet, which is a pre-step before launching the mainnet. In this period, the users can interact and comment on the R2 protocol’s function and, in return, earn reward points, which would turn into tokens once the mainnet goes live. How to earn? Let’s discuss.
How to Earn R2 Tokens in Testnet?
The R2 testnet Season #0 is a trial round, before the mainnet launch, scheduled for Q2 2025. Users can interact with the platform’s testnet to earn reward points, similar to crypto airdrops. There are two reward points, Signals and Pulses, which are convertible to R2 tokens on token generation.
Here, Signals are provided for the onchain activities and product usage. On the other hand, Pulses are for the social media activities and quests. More importantly, it has zero-cost participation, which means the users would not need capital or KYC verification to contribute.
Whether you’re a DeFi newcomer or an onchain native, the testnet is fully open, zero-cost, and permissionless. No capital required. No KYC. Just connect, interact, and earn,” reads the official blog announcement.
The users can mint, stake, and interact with the platform and earn reward points. There are various ways to earn tokens on the pre-mainnet phase, beginning with minting R2USD using testnet USDC, staking R2USD into sR2USD to simulate yield-bearing behavior, using products like R2BTC, R2ETH, completing quests like social media engagement, feedback, referrals, and much more.
Calculation of R2 Points & More
Apart from the testnet and reward point earning, it is important to understand how the points are calculated. R2 protocol’s official announcement reveals that the testnet points (tokens) refresh every 24 hours. Users can claim them through the Discord faucet.
More importantly, points update daily, with 1 point per $1 of token value per hour being held (e.g., 1 R2BTC at $85,000 equals 2,040,000 points per day). Investors often hunt for such free tokens earning opportunities and make profits once the token gets launched.
However, caution is important, as there’s much uncertainty in the crypto market due to the Trump trade war.
