DeBank, Manta, D8X: An Overview of Promising Testnets
Engaging in project testnets can often yield rewards for users, such as NFTs, unique prizes, project’s native tokens, or stablecoins.
Today, we spotlight three promising testnets, all accessible and ready for user interaction. Highlighted in our list are DeBank, a service designed for tracking cryptocurrency portfolios; Manta, a blockchain underpinned by zkSNARK; and D8X, a decentralized futures platform built on Polygon zkEVM.
Should these projects introduce their tokens, early adopters might be in for a treat. It's essential to understand that any uncertainty in this realm represents the inherent risk for airdrop hunters.
DeBank
We previously delved into DeBank in a separate piece. A few days back, the DeBank team unveiled their Layer 2 on Ethereum and launched their Testnet.
Here's the activity lineup available on the testnet:
- Download the Rabby Wallet, akin to Metamask but for Chrome.
- Secure an exclusive "Rabby Valued User" code on their platform. To do this, execute a single coin exchange within the wallet and ensure your account's total asset value tops $10.
- Head to the "More" tab in the wallet and select "Enable Testnet."
- In the same "More" section, click "Claim Rabby Badge!" and input the code you got from DeBank. This action unlocks the ability to lay claim to test tokens.
- Push the "Request DeBank Testnet Gas Token" button to snag test tokens within the DeBank network. You can grab up to 0.1 USDT daily.

As of now, the DeBank testnet hasn’t rolled out any DeFi apps or initiatives. Thus, the sole task at hand is the daily token claim.
Manta Network
Manta stands as a Layer 1 blockchain dedicated to safeguarding the privacy of Web3. The project has successfully attracted nearly $30 million from a range of crypto funds, including notable names like Polychain, Multicoin Capital, Alliance DAO, and CoinFund, among others.
For those navigating the Manta testnet:
- Begin by visiting their official website and integrating the testnet with your Metamask wallet;
- Claim some test ETH by clicking on the "Request Faucet Funds on Goerli" option;
- Next, access the website, connect your wallet to the Goerli network, and execute a handful of test ETH deposit-withdrawal operations.

Given the limited tasks, completing the entire testnet experience shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
D8X
The platform's features largely align with those found in other decentralized exchanges. Here's a breakdown of the actions one can undertake:
- Start by visiting their website and adding the Polygon zkEVM testnet to your digital wallet;
- Claim MATIC and ETH test tokens through the faucet;
- Engage in token trading under the "Trade" segment, and allocate liquidity in the "Vault" section.

Being a derivatives platform, D8X offers a prime chance for users to hone their futures trading skills, leveraging benefits without the risk of expending real funds.
Final Words
It's a wise strategy to periodically monitor the testnets of the mentioned projects, looking out for any additions of new tasks. Furthermore, keeping tabs on their social media profiles can be instrumental in staying abreast of upcoming updates and announcements.
