Before we jump into the steps, let’s talk about why Pharos is creating so much buzz. Pharos Network is a Layer-1 blockchain, which means it’s a foundational network (like Ethereum or Solana) built for speed, scalability, and security. They’re focusing on tokenized assets and decentralized apps, aiming to redefine how we interact with Web3 the decentralized internet of the future. With $8M in funding and a blazing-fast system, Pharos is positioning itself as a game-changer in the crypto world. They’re currently in the testnet phase, which is like a sandbox where users can try out features and earn rewards (like airdrops) for participating. That’s where this free NFT mint comes in!
The NFT in question is part of the “Gotchipus” collection a cute, pixelated lighthouse character that reminds me of old-school video games. By minting this NFT, you’re not only getting a cool digital collectible but also earning points toward Pharos’ upcoming airdrop. Let’s walk through how to do it.
Step 1: Mint Your Free NFT on Pharos
The first thing you need to do is Visit the Pharos Minting Page here: GOTCHIPUS
- Connect your EVM wallet : You’ll need an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible wallet, like MetaMask or OKX Wallet or Rabby wallet. If you don’t have one, download MetaMask from its official website and set it up—it’s free and easy.
- Click the Mint Button – Once your wallet is connected, you’ll see a big “Mint” button. The screenshot from the X post shows it says “FREE MINT! No cost, just fees” and a quantity of 1. Click “Mint,” confirm the transaction in your wallet (don’t worry, it’s free on the testnet, though you might need test tokens—more on that later), and boom! The NFT will drop into your wallet instantly.
Step 2: Track Your Points & Progress on Discord 📊
Pharos rewards users with points for completing activities, and you’ll want to keep track of your progress. Here’s how to do that:

Go to the Command-Only Section
Once you’re in the Discord server, look for a channel called “Command-Only.” This is where you can check your testnet points and quest status. I already write a post about that, You can check it out here: https://airdropintel.com/pharos-network-testnet-pioneering-the-future-of-real-world-asset-tokenization-and-decentralized-finance/
