**Q: How do I get a (Discord) role?** A: When you join our Discord server, you automatically receive the "member role." This role allows you to verify tasks on Galxe.

**Q: Why is my task showing as incomplete despite completing my Galxe task?** A: The Galxe task will reflect as complete on our testnet about one hour after the task is finished. This delay occurs because Galxe updates their data every hour.

**Q: What are the dates for the testnet?** A: The testnet runs from July 1st th to July 14th, providing a 2-week period for thorough testing and community engagement.

**Q: What is the purpose of the ForumAI Testnet?** A: The testnet allows users to test and integrate ForumAI’s features, including the NPC Maker Demo and machine learning inference capabilities, in a sandbox environment before the mainnet launch.

#### **Point System and Rewards**

**Q: How does the point system work?** A: The point system is designed to reward participants for their engagement and contributions. Here’s a breakdown:

**Basic Tasks:** Complete the following activities to qualify for the airdrop and earn 50 points:

*   **Try the** [**NPC Maker Demo**](https://npcdemo.forumai.dev/)**:** Earns 20 points.
    
*   **Perform at least one ML inference request:** Earns 20 points.
    
*   **Complete the first** [**Galxe campaign**](https://app.galxe.com/quest/9jWpfZow3DtYbHa4j7jLB6/GCiCRtgiKE)**:** Earns 10 points.

**Q: How are the points distributed?** A: Points are distributed based on your participation and contribution:

*   **Proportional Distribution:** Tokens will be allocated based on the participation points accrued by each participant, ensuring rewards are proportional to the level of engagement.
    
*   **Adaptive Allocation:** The airdrop will be divided among participants depending on their collective activity, ensuring fairness across all contributors.
    
*   **Testnet Participants:** A portion of the airdrop is earmarked specifically for testers, which will be split between existing and new testers up to the mainnet launch.
    

#### **Technical Information**

**Q: What is a private key?** A: A private key is the unique identifier for your EVM wallet address. It is crucial for performing ML tasks on our platform.

#### **Q: How to Make an Inference Request?**

A: Making a machine learning inference request requires you to interact with our DePIN network and our smart contracts. We have created SDKs that simplify the process.

1.  Use the Python SDK: [https://forumai.gitbook.io/forumai/developer-guide/integrate-mixtral8x7b-with-python-sdk-testnet](https://forumai.gitbook.io/forumai/developer-guide/integrate-mixtral8x7b-with-python-sdk-testnet)
    
2.  Use the Node.js SDK: [https://forumai.gitbook.io/forumai/developer-guide/integrate-mixtral8x7b-with-node.js-sdk-testnet](https://forumai.gitbook.io/forumai/developer-guide/integrate-mixtral8x7b-with-node.js-sdk-testnet)
    
3.  Do it manually: [https://forumai.gitbook.io/forumai/developer-guide/integrate-mixtral8x7b-manually-testnet](https://forumai.gitbook.io/forumai/developer-guide/integrate-mixtral8x7b-manually-testnet)
    

#### **For Developers**

**Q: Should ML Inference run on the terminal or make a file in Python?** A: It doesn't matter how you run it. You can certainly try it in the terminal. Our goal is to see it actually being used in software or apps.

**Q: Do I earn points by doing the SDK integration?** A: No, you do not earn points for the SDK integration itself. However, if you have suggestions or provide valuable feedback on the SDK integration, those contributions will be counted.\*\*Q: Is there a doc for testnet?\*\*A: Here is the [developer documentation](https://forumai.gitbook.io/forumai/forumai/testnet-developer-docs) for full details.

#### **Feedback and Support**

**Q: How can I provide feedback or report issues?** A: Feedback and issues can be reported via:
