The Neura testnet is well‑designed, encouraging users to deeply engage in its yield, governance, and incentive loops.
One thing I’ve learned from past testnets:
if you only “claim tokens” and leave, you miss the point.
#Neura just opened the $ERA faucet, but what’s more interesting is what they’re testing, not the free tokens.
This is one of the cleaner attempts I’ve seen at simulating a full yield → governance → incentive loop before mainnet.
You don’t just get $ERA and $tUSDC.
You’re pushed to actually use them:
• supply & borrow to stress the money market
• LP to see how capital flows
• lock into veERA to feel how influence is earned, not given
That ve-token step matters.
It forces a question most protocols dodge:
If you want rewards, are you willing to commit capital and opinion?
Because once you mint veERA, you’re no longer passive.
You’re deciding which markets deserve emissions.
You’re shaping outcomes, not farming points.
This is the kind of testnet activity that’s useful even if mainnet is far off; parameter tuning, UX friction, incentive alignment all show up fast when people have to choose.
If you’re exploring @Neura_io, don’t just tap the faucet and bounce.
Run the loop. Break things. See where it feels clunky.
That feedback now matters more than any future leaderboard.

Curious what others notice once they actually push it a bit.
