Speaking of the Web3 airdrop track, projects in the Sui ecosystem have always been the most trusted choice for beginners. Walrus stands out thanks to the official endorsement from the Mysten Labs team, a funding scale of $140 million, and a solid foundation with a TVL of $2.5 billion. Currently, the 300 million WAL community incentive tokens are about to enter the final distribution phase. I have sorted out all the operational procedures and summarized common pitfalls, so even if you are a complete novice, you can participate smoothly at zero cost and zero risk.
**Step 1: Basic Tool Setup, Done in 5 Minutes**
First, you need an official Sui wallet—this is the first line of defense against scams. Desktop users should open the Chrome browser, search for "Sui Wallet" in the extension store, and click add to install it; mobile users should search for the same name in the App Store to download the official version.
There is a very important detail when creating a wallet: the mnemonic phrase must be handwritten on paper and recorded in a notebook. Do not take screenshots, do not photograph it, and do not store it on your phone. This set of words is the only key to recover your wallet. If lost, there’s really no way to get it back.
**Step 2: Testnet Practice, Reduce Risks**
It is recommended for beginners to start practicing on the testnet. Open your Sui wallet, click the network switch button at the top, and select "Sui Testnet." Then, visit the official faucet address in your browser, paste your wallet address, and the system will distribute some test coins for free. This way, you can go through the entire operation process without any cost. Once you are familiar with it, switch to the mainnet for actual participation.

Writing down the mnemonic phrase by hand is really crucial; how many people have suffered losses because of it?

You really need to pay attention to handwritten mnemonics. I once saw a guy screenshot his and save it on his phone, but later his wallet was completely stolen. That was really heartbreaking.

Oh no, you really can't screenshot your seed phrase. I almost messed up before, haha.

Wait, you really can't screenshot the seed phrase? I used to store it in my notes...

Walrus is indeed stable this time; backing by Mysten Labs is enough. However, you still need to do your own research and avoid getting caught off guard.

Wow, the projects endorsed by Mysten Labs are indeed solid. Usually, tutorials like this tend to be too idealized.
