About the project

What GIWA is

GIWA stands for Global Infrastructure for Web3 Access. It is an Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain built on the OP Stack, created by Upbit, a major crypto exchange in Korea. The network is designed to offer faster transactions, lower fees, and a developer-friendly environment compared to mainnet Ethereum.

The network supports full EVM compatibility and runs Solidity smart contracts. Documentation and resources are available in both English and Korean to help developers join. The infrastructure is built to support DeFi, stablecoins, and real-world asset ecosystems.

How the airdrop works

GIWA is currently in testnet phase. The project invites participants to use the testnet and complete tasks to become early users. Completing the tasks may qualify you for an airdrop once the network launches, though this is not guaranteed.

Tasks involve bridging test tokens to the GIWA testnet and using apps on it. You will need test tokens from a Sepolia faucet to start. These cost nothing but require a wallet and internet access.

What it takes

The estimated time is 19 minutes. There is no cost: the testnet uses free test tokens. You need a crypto wallet compatible with Ethereum and an internet connection.

The tasks suit people who are already familiar with wallets and Ethereum testnets. If you have not used a testnet before, you may need extra time to learn the process.

What to know

GIWA is still in testnet, so the network and the airdrop terms are not finalized. The name giwa refers to a Korean roof tile, a symbol the project uses for how small building blocks combine into a strong structure.

Risks and what to watch for

  • The airdrop is not guaranteed. The project may change its rules or cancel the airdrop at any time.
  • Testnet tokens have no value and can be lost. Test transactions are reversible and may not be a reliable measure of what happens on mainnet.
  • Smart contracts on the testnet may contain bugs or issues that do not reflect the final product.

Is there a cost to participate in GIWA testnet?

No. The testnet uses free test tokens from a faucet. You only need a wallet and an internet connection.

How long do the tasks take?

The estimated time is about 19 minutes to complete the listed tasks.

What network is GIWA built on?

GIWA is an Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain built on the OP Stack. It uses the Sepolia testnet to bridge tokens during the testnet phase.

Is the airdrop reward guaranteed?

No. Completing testnet tasks may qualify you for an airdrop, but it is not guaranteed. The project can change its rules or the airdrop at any time.
