Hemi Network Pilot Program Dashboard

As of now, nothing to do more. Just keep doing the daily tasks like bridging funds into Hemi testnet, do swap on Hemiswap twice a day and creating capsule twice in a week etc. Also keep eye in our [**_Twitter_**](https://x.com/officialbitbyte) and [**_Telegram channel_**](https://t.me/bitbytecrypto_ann) for future updates.

### 🧙‍♂️ Conclusion

It wasn’t farmed hugely until the funding details and Binance Labs investment was announced. So make sure to complete the recurring tasks daily so that you can get into the top leaderboard.

Increase of daily transactions after funding announcement

Also don’t expect the airdrop during mainnet launched because the airdrop meta is changed a lot and it will take a long way to get airdrop, although team already announced multiple season for points farming. So keep focusing on other projects while doing the daily tasks for more points. Also share this tutotial with others and i appreciate that.
