Continuing

My other two posts were about how to get free crypto using apps , and also some crypto exchange apps that are available in Canada. Now I am going to post about some block chains (in addition to hive) that I enjoy using it and it is not difficult to start with few or big money!

Proton chain

The proton chain is a very interesting blockchain, with no transactions fees like Hive. It is associated with payment methods, they released Metal Pay which promises to act like an easy way to send money to other people.
The blockchain features lots of coins included the main coin called Proton (XPR)

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/proton/

The wallet for this coin is available both in the app store and google play (Proton Wallet), and right now they released the webauth version. more info is here: https://blog.protonchain.com/meet-webauth/

At least the iPhone version, in the new version I can visualize all coins that it wasn't available to show off using the previous version. One good advantage of using the proton wallet in either version is that we can stake XPR with any amount! Even 0.00001 XPR is possible to be staked! That's nice because your coin keeps getting some value! And you can withdraw anytime and right away the coin from the stake!!! That's awesome!

In addition, we can use liquidity pools with USDC to farm XPR, of which we get 51% of APY ( with the staking we get 4.42% of APR).

But how to start with? We can use the Alcor exchange to buy some XPR at https://proton.alcor.exchange/markets . There is a faucet for a coin called foobar at https://foobar.protonchain.com/ . Every hour we can get 10 FOOBAR, however, the value of foobar is very low, to be able to get some coins we need to use the faucet a lot! And after that, there is the possibility to exchange buy any other coin from the blockchain at alcor.

Another option is to go to discord and get free airdrops in servers like tip cc or even at the server 2XR ( https://discord.gg/sXJQPmjZ ). This server is owned by people who invest in Proton, so they are always giving free coins around there.

Other interesting coins:

Metal coin (MTL): It is the main coin used in the Metal pay and it has more value than XPR, right now is around $2.00

Diamond Coin (https://proton.alcor.exchange/trade/diamond-diamondbank_xusdt-xtokens): A coin in a pre-sale event that is promising to give two other coins from the blockchain for the holders as dividends ( Silver and Gold). I always like the idea of getting dividends while holding a coin. There is a possibility to exchange by USDT or USDC.

In the next chapter, I intend to go through Vite blockchain, another interesting blockchain that I am enjoying to get some coins.
