Gradient HQ Airdrop Guide

The Gradient Network airdrop is on a mission to decentralize the multi-billion dollar computational market, making it more accessible and affordable on solana. With backing from prominent venture capital firms like Multicoin Capital, Pantera Capital, and Sequoia, Gradient offers users the chance to earn rewards by contributing their computational power. It is a $GRASS competitor and has the chance to be even bigger!

As you participate by running nodes and completing tasks, you can earn EXP, which helps boost your account status. Higher status levels come with reward multipliers, benefiting all nodes linked to your account.

How to Check and Claim

How to Claim Your Gradient HQ Tokens

1

Sign Up and Download the Browser Extension

  • Start by visiting the official Gradient website to create your account. If prompted to use a code for a 20% boost  you can use 22JBKW
  • Verify your email address, and then download the Gradient browser extension, which is necessary for connecting your devices and participating in the network.
  • Once the extension is installed, log in to your account and ensure it remains active. Keeping the extension connected is crucial, as uptime is key for maximizing your rewards.
2

Connect Your Nodes

  • One of the primary ways to earn EXP on Gradient is by connecting multiple devices (nodes) to your account. This can be done by installing the browser extension on different PCs, logging in, and ensuring they remain online.
  • Proof-of-Availability (POA) rewards are distributed based on your nodes’ uptime. The longer your nodes stay online and maintain good uptime, the more rewards you’ll accumulate.
  • You’ll also earn Proof-of-Connectivity (POC) rewards when the network verifies that your node is reliably connected, further boosting your earnings.
3

Complete Quests

  • Gradient also offers quests that provide easy ways to gain EXP. For example, by simply following their X account, you can earn 2,000 EXP.
  • Keep an eye out for future quests to increase your EXP balance and unlock higher reward multipliers.
4

Refer Friends and Earn More

  • Another way to boost your EXP is through referrals. Invite friends, family, or anyone interested in decentralized computing to sign up for Gradient using your referral link. Each successful referral will earn you additional 20 EXP, helping you level up your account faster and 10% of their fees.

During Season 0, Gradient rewards participants with Proof-of-Availability (POA) and Proof-of-Connectivity (POC) incentives. Your uptime and node connectivity are key to earning these rewards. Though there’s no native token like $GRASS being distributed currently, staying involved during this phase could position you well for future airdrops or token launches once Gradient fully rolls out its decentralized ecosystem.

Comparison to $GRASS and Other Platforms

While Gradient doesn’t have its own token like $GRASS, which is used on similar platforms, it is still seen as a promising opportunity. Some community members are comparing it to GRASS, DAWN, and NodePay, suggesting that Gradient has the potential to offer similar or even greater rewards as the network evolves. Currently, there’s no cost to running a node on Gradient, making it a low-risk opportunity to participate early.

Maximize Your Rewards on Gradient

  • Ensure Good Uptime: Keep your connected devices online as much as possible. The more stable your uptime, the better your chances of earning rewards.
  • Complete Quests Early: Take advantage of quests that offer easy EXP boosts. These simple tasks can help you level up faster.
  • Build Your Referral Network: Referrals are an easy way to gain extra EXP. By referring more users, you can quickly increase your status and unlock higher reward multipliers.
