Archstronauts, Start Earning Points Today!
Last Updated: December 4, 2024
In just a month, we have had more than 100K+ users sign up to our dashboard, fulfilling mostly off-chain social missions while rising in the ranks of the Archstronauts.
Now, the most dedicated Bitcoin explorers will have the ability to complete on-chain missions on our testnet apps — all while earning XP and “ORE,” a rare and valuable resource that represent points in our Archstronauts Program.
Read on to see how it works.
Sign into your Archstronaut Dashboard
Start completing on-chain testnet missions
After connecting their wallet and social media accounts on the dashboard, each Archstronaut can earn two types of rewards: XP and ORE.
How to earn ORE
ORE is a rare and valuable substance that Archstronauts can uncover by completing missions that primarily involve on-chain activities, serving as a representation of future incentives.
- Make sure to connect your testnet wallet in our dashboard
- Click “Connect testnet wallet” on the left navigation bar
- It should prompt you to connect a Unisat testnet4 wallet
- You won't be able to change this address later, To check which address you connected, please click on the "Connect Testnet Wallet" button and it will show your testnet address.
- Complete on-chain activities using connected wallets
- Do on-chain transactions on Saturn DEX (Unisat testnet wallets)
- Do on-chain transactions on funkybit (Dashboard mainnet wallet)
- Do on-chain transactions on future Arch apps
- Earn XP + ORE
- Your XP + ORE should take about an hour to update in the Dashboard*
- You will earn more based on the number of transactions and consistency.
*Activity during launch week (Nov. 24-29) will take 7 days to update
- Testnet + Mainnet ORE
In the mainnet phase, Archstronauts will be able to earn fully-mined ORE, meaning it is already unlocked and immediately qualifies for future incentives.
In the testnet phase, Archstronauts can gather testnet ORE. This ORE will also hold value for future incentives, but will only become fully unlocked as Archstronauts participate in mainnet.
This distinction is made to help reduce the likelihood of Sybil attacks and other exploits that could compromise fairness within the Archstronaut Program, and are optimized to prioritize the long-term health of the Arch Network.
How to earn XP multipliers
- XP can be earned by completing missions for doing both off-chain and on-chain activities that help grow the network.
- As Archstronauts gain XP, they progress in the ranks, representing their advanced skills and allowing them to earn multipliers on their ORE to earn greater rewards.
Total Point Score Formula
Those who achieve higher XP ranks earn a higher multiplier on the testnet ORE and mainnet ORE that they collect.
RANK MULTIPLIER x ORE = TOTAL SCORE
Archstronauts will be able to view their XP and ORE in the dashboard at any time, as well as on the Leaderboard, where they can see their totals relative to other Archstronauts.
The Total Scores for both testnet and mainnet will be tied directly to the formulas that determine the final incentives awarded to each Archstronaut at the end of the program.
This formula is designed to reward Archstronauts for making both community building and on-chain transaction contributions to the network.
PRO TIP: Mainnet missions are worth more ORE than testnet missions. So if you do not have the resources to participate on mainnet, make sure to max out your incentives by doing more activities on testnet.
In order to ensure that airdrop allocation is significant for aligned users, not all participants will receive an airdrop. Make sure to rise in the ranks to ensure you make the cutoff.

Builders are eligible for a separate incentives program, with extra rewards going to those who launch early on testnet. Apply here.
A monumental step forward for Bitcoin
This Incentivized Testnet is an essential part of our work to turn our vision of bridgeless Bitcoin innovation into a reality, and we are excited to make sure that those who participate early and often will exponentially benefit from their contributions.
This Archstronaut Program, and other opportunities to help build the Arch community, will continue to evolve as we move toward mainnet launch.
