Kleva Airdrop

Probit Global announced their latest airdrop this past Monday, this time for a chance to win a share of 10,000 $KLEVA tokens. I like these airdrops from ProBit because they're generally easy to participate in AND allow you to pick and choose which activities you'd like to do. I've participated in three airdrops so far and have received all of my winnings - though they don't always arrive within the posted two week awarding period after each event.

ProBit AMA with Esports Players League Delayed

ProBit's AMAs are also other good opportunities for users to win a share of various tokens from the platform. ProBit was supposed to be holding an AMA with Esports Players League for a chance to win a share of $ARENA tokens, but when I checked in on Telegram the following day to see if my question had been chosen, I (and others) noticed that the AMA had never happened. I did some digging around, and eventually found the postponement notice on ProBit's Twitter.

As of the time of writing, no further updates were available on ProBit's website or Telegram account.

Coinbase Offers 'Free' NFT to Celebrate Base

Coinbase excited the crypto world this week by announcing Base, their new Ethereum L2 network. During their announcement, they offered 'freely mintable' commemorative NFTs...but users soon discovered the NFTs did include a minting fee AND some pretty steep gas fees were involved. Did you bite the bullet and grab this NFT anyway? 

ProBit Announces Latest Learn & Earn

This week, ProBit Global has announced their latest Learn & Earn opportunity, which will launch tonight at 11pm CST. This will be the third opportunity the platform has offered, this time for Ethereum. Based on the timings of their last two courses, all rewards have previously been allocated within the first two hours of launch - so if you want to participate in this one, you'll likely need to do it pretty quickly after it launches. I'm finding this Learn & Earn specifically useful since ProBit does require mainnet coins to withdrawal many of their tokens, so having some Ethereum in your account could be very useful.

(Speaking of withdrawing from ProBit - since I'm about two months into my evaluation of the platform, I did want to mention that I had my first very simple and successful withdrawal from the platform since joining. I transferred a small amount of $MATIC to my account to cover the gas fee to transfer my $FLAG winnings to my wallet, and both transactions completed quickly and accurately.)

NFTs and Twitter Profile Pictures

Did you start getting a pop-up this week regarding using an NFT as your profile picture on Twitter this week? If not, here's a quick screen cap:

Twitter NFT Profile Pictures Announcement

I'll be honest - I've been working a crazy amount of hours at my 'real life job' so I haven't been able to look into this more yet. As it stands, you can see that it looks like soon there will be an option to connect your wallet to your Twitter account so that you can choose an NFT as your profile picture - though it will be displayed in a hexagonal shape rather than a circular one. If you've seen any more news on this, please share!

Conclusion

Lot's of interesting opportunities this week - did you find anything that I missed here? If so, I'd love to hear about it - referral links always encouraged!
