The 2026 crypto earning circle has welcomed a noteworthy development—the DuskEVM mainnet officially launched in the second week of January. As a new EVM-compatible compliant chain, it offers a pretty good opportunity for airdrop hunters, combining low risk with high returns, which is definitely worth a try.

Why does this chain attract so much attention? Mainly because airdrops from EVM-compatible chains have always been quite generous, and DuskEVM has maximized this advantage. Your existing Solidity contract knowledge, MetaMask wallet, and all interactions within the EVM ecosystem can be used directly. No need to learn new things—swap, provide liquidity, test DApps—just a few steps to complete, and you can start accumulating airdrop points immediately. This indeed lowers the participation threshold for many people.

Even more interesting is the compliance background behind DuskEVM. NPEX’s full licensing support means that applications within the ecosystem are backed by regulatory approval, so there’s no need to worry about projects suddenly disappearing or airdrops going to waste. Coupled with Hedger’s privacy engine, your interactions are both secure and compliant, avoiding the embarrassment of being disqualified from airdrops due to improper operations.

If you want to participate, the process is quite simple: first, configure the DuskEVM mainnet in MetaMask; then transfer some USDC or ETH via the official cross-chain bridge to complete your first on-chain transaction; next, keep an eye on newly launched compliant DeFi projects within the ecosystem and participate in testing to accumulate interaction records. The key is to maintain a genuine operation rhythm—avoid suddenly spamming—stably complete 2-3 effective interactions per week, which will strengthen your airdrop weight.

If you want to gain something in this year's earning race, DuskEVM is still a direction worth watching.
