As the blockchain ecosystem continues to expand, new networks are launching at a rapid pace. Many of these networks actively reward early users who participate during the testnet phase, where interactions are low-cost or even free.

SurfLayer was built to support users in this early stage by making it easy to build a verifiable on-chain identity while increasing exposure to potential airdrop and ecosystem rewards — without technical complexity.

Why Build an On-Chain Identity?

Decentralized networks do not rely on user profiles or KYC. Instead, wallet activity is the primary signal used to evaluate participation, contribution, and presence within an ecosystem.

Building an on-chain identity allows users to:

  • Demonstrate real engagement beyond simply holding tokens

  • Create a transparent and verifiable history of on-chain actions

  • Be recognized as active participants within blockchain ecosystems

  • Strengthen eligibility for ecosystem rewards, incentives, and future opportunities

An on-chain identity is not based on claims or labels — it is built through consistent actions recorded directly on the blockchain.
