Got an unexpected surprise recently—turned out I qualified for testnet rewards from a project I contributed to over a year ago. Scored a two-figure payout, which honestly felt great, but it reinforced something I've always stuck to: "When you started with nothing, every gain is a win."

The whole thing reminded me why I keep showing up for early-stage projects. Most people skip the boring testnet phase, but that's where you actually learn how things work and build credibility. The projects remember who was there.

Keeping my eyes open for what comes next in the crypto calendar. Projects are ramping up 2025 initiatives, and the ones with solid community support tend to deliver more value. If you're doing testnet work now, don't sleep on it—these opportunities compound.

Testnet free ride for a year and suddenly get paid. This is what I call compound interest, friends.

The testnet phase has really been underestimated. Most people are waiting for airdrops, but in fact, early participants are the real winners. The persistence from a year ago is now bearing fruit, and this is the power of compound interest.
