Any other ways to get more tARIO tokens?
There are two ways to obtain more tARIO tokens:
Operate a gateway: If you have the developer skills run a gateway. Operate a gateway, stake your tARIO tokens, and earn more tARIO tokens for good performance. Check out our docs.
Delegate tARIO tokens to a gateway: You can still participate in the operation of gateways if you don’t run one with delegated staking.
Find an operator you think has good performance and stake some tARIO tokens to it. As the gateway has good performance you will also share in the rewards and earn more tARIO tokens
Go to the AR.IO Network Portal to delegate your tARIO tokens.
What do tARIO tokens have to do with ARIO tokens?
The tARIO token are the first step in participating in the ar.io ecosystem! They are not indicative of mainnet ARIO token.
Test ARIO tokens powering the testnet are just that - test tokens. Tokens will be stressed, may break, and there is no guarantee of continued support for them during and after completion of the testnet. Test ARIO tokens are not being carried over to mainnet and are not a proxy of any rewards when mainnet launches. There is no supply cap on Test ARIO tokens and the team can print and destroy them at their discretion. During the testnet, Test ARIO tokens are meant to be used for: joining a gateway to network, delegating stake to a gateway, and registering a name with ArNS.
