How to Build an Account Farm for Crypto Projects?
An account farm is a popular tool among crypto enthusiasts, allowing for increased earnings from cryptocurrency activities.
This avenue to profits is primarily relevant for testnets and retroactive drops. By relying on a single account, the returns are relatively modest, leading many crypto enthusiasts to resort to multi-accounting.
So, what is multi-accounting?
By establishing a multitude of wallets and taking the corresponding actions, you can substantially boost the potential rewards from your crypto pursuits. However, many projects remain wary of such tactics, often implementing measures to sift out those drop hunters.
The advantages of multi-accounting include:
- The ability to work with different types of activities: Airdrop, retroactive drop, testnet, setting up a node;
- Increased likelihood of receiving a reward;
- Increased volume of rewards.
However, this approach to raking in cryptocurrency isn't without its flaws. It often involves a considerable investment of time, the necessity of a team, or financial outlays. It's also worth noting that not all cryptocurrency campaigns guarantee an immediate windfall, which can be a drawback.
In this article, we'll delve into how to properly establish an account farm and the tools necessary to enhance earnings from crypto activities.
Components of an account farm
Building your own farm for multi-accounting isn't a walk in the park. Here are the key ingredients:
- Cryptocurrency wallets (like Metamask, Trust, and network-specific wallets);
- Anti-detection browsers capable of creating independent tabs, each with different network data;
- Proxies;
- Accounts on platforms like Gmail, Twitter, Telegram, and Discord;
- Physical or virtual SIM cards;
- Verified accounts on crypto exchanges and platforms.
Some steps can be carried out without incurring costs. However, certain aspects, such as maintaining the browser, managing proxies, or purchasing pre-made social network profiles, require a financial commitment and regular upkeep.
Creating wallets
To get a cryptocurrency wallet up and running, you'll need to secure the seed phrase and then you can begin using it. A selection of wallets, including Metamask, Trust, or Phantom, provide the option to open supplementary addresses.
In the browser variant of Metamask's storage, to add another account, you should navigate to the storage and select Create Account. You can access the private key or download the encrypted Json file in the Import Account attachment.
The cryptocurrency service, Cointool, automates the creation of a plethora of wallets. However, whether to trust such an operation to an online resource is a decision that rests entirely on individual preference.
Anti-detect browsers
When you set up new wallets, each one should be linked to its own account and have its unique digital footprint. This footprint includes data about the location and the digital device being used. If you're using the same browser to access all of your wallets, every transaction you make will share the same IP address. This could lead some systems to block you.
That's where anti-detect browsers come in. These browsers allow you to create a separate account for each tab, each with its own unique key.
Here are some of the top anti-detect browsers and a few of their features:
β Mozilla Firefox: Lets you create different profiles and connect each one to a separate proxy;
β ADS Power: For $40 per month, you can manage 150 profiles;
β Dolphin: Although it's a paid browser, Dolphin allows up to 10 profiles for free. That could be enough to get you started;
β Octo Browser: It's user-friendly, but you'll have to pay 100 euros per month for the service.
Proxy
A proxy is a tool that lets you change your IP address when accessing an internet resource. Many cryptocurrency platforms might block users that show activity from the same IP hash. That's why an anti-detect browser alone might not be enough to keep your account safe.
Connecting to a site via a proxy changes your IP to the proxy's IP. The ipv4 type is particularly reliable as it's a type of proxy that's assigned to a single user.
Here's where you can get a proxy:
- Proxy6.net;
- Proxys.io;
- Astroproxy;
- Proxyline;
You can rent a proxy for anywhere between $0.1 and $5 per month.
Social networks β Twitter, Discord, Gmail
Engaging in the cryptocurrency space often involves a significant presence on social media platforms, including activities such as subscribing, retweeting, and commenting. This typically requires maintaining a multitude of accounts.
While you can create most of these accounts, like Gmail, Discord, and Twitter, by yourself, a key challenge is to do this through a proxy and anti-detect browser right from the start. This approach ensures that the activity of each profile is tied to a distinct IP address. Additionally, to maintain credibility, each profile needs to appear active, which means having followers, photos, posts, readers, and so on. Preparing an account with these features can be quite time-consuming.
For this reason, some individuals prefer to bypass the setup process by purchasing pre-existing, active profiles from specialized platforms like AKKS market and DarkStore. It's important, however, to change passwords immediately after purchase to prevent the former user from accessing the account under new ownership.
Mobile phone numbers
A platform like Telegram, which is also frequently used for social interactions in the crypto sphere, requires a phone number to create an account.
Purchasing and activating physical SIM cards can be a drawn-out process, and as a result, electronic SIM card services have emerged. These include:
- OnlineSim;
- 5sim.net;
- SMS-activate;
- 365SMS.
Each of these services offers the option of long-term number rental.
KYC
One straightforward method of obtaining numerous verified accounts is to enlist friends, relatives, and acquaintances to register on the relevant platforms. If this isn't an option, KYC (Know Your Customer) accounts can be purchased on various OTC (Over The Counter) platforms. These are trading platforms typically set up by specific cryptocurrency communities.
OTC platforms can often be found on channels run by prominent crypto influencers, bloggers, and blockchain-related channels.
Final words
Overall, while setting up a multi-accounting farm can indeed be done for free, it tends to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Buying a substantial number of accounts and associated tools can significantly streamline the setup of such a farm. Moreover, the costs involved are usually reasonable enough to make a return on the investment from a testnet or a retroactive drop.
