# What is an Opportunity?

An opportunity is a series of missions you must complete to earn a potential reward from the [project](/linity/project/what-is-a-project.md).

Most projects available on Linity offer active opportunities for participation, such as:

* **Mainnet Opportunity** - A set of actions that users can perform for a potential reward (often an airdrop or yield). This type of opportunity requires spending real funds, either on gas fees and/or deposits, as tasks are conducted on the main blockchain network.
* **Testnet Opportunity** - Similar to "Mainnet" opportunities, but conducted on a test network or "Testnet" using test tokens. This allows users to explore and test functionalities without financial risk, making it completely free.
* **Earn & Staking** - Opportunities designed to help users grow their cryptocurrency holdings. Both involve investing or locking up funds to receive rewards. Earn opportunities are typically offered by centralized projects, while Staking is provided by decentralized ones.
* **NFT** - A series of tasks that, when completed, allow users to mint an NFT. While the tasks themselves are often free, users typically need to pay gas fees during the minting process.
* **Fast Quests**  - Quick crypto tasks that offer potential rewards of up to $100. These usually involve social media and community activities, requiring minimal crypto experience. Winners are typically selected randomly or through other specified methods.

Each opportunity type offers unique ways to engage with projects and potentially earn rewards, catering to different user preferences and risk tolerances.

## Opportunity Status

The opportunities published on Linity mostly belong to companies that reward users with airdrops, NFT minting, or staking rewards. Each of these opportunities has an expiration date. We regularly review and update opportunities, categorizing them as:

* **Active** - Opportunities that are ongoing, meaning the project has yet to distribute rewards or other incentives.
* **Expired** - Opportunities that have concluded, where missions no longer produce actionable results. These opportunities expire when:
  * A specific deadline is reached. 
  * Token distribution, such as airdrop, has been completed. 
  * Fast opportunities meet their set deadlines.
* **Inactive** - Opportunities marked inactive occur when:
  * Websites or other social media channels go offline without notice.
  * No social media posts for over 60 days.
  * The project pivots to unrelated activities outside Linity's scope.
  * Official announcements state the closure of operations.

For both inactive and expired opportunities, we provide an information box for users involved in these projects to understand the changes and continue to have clarity.
