JumpTask Review




URL: Jumptask.io  (referral code provides you with a one-time 10% earning boost on your first completed task)


JumpTask is a fairly standard "get paid to" (GPT) / offerwall site, but with the twist of only paying out in its own JMPT crypto token.


NATURE OF WORK AND PAYMENT


JumpTask offers many of the usual "offerwall" options: download a game off the app store and reach certain thresholds in it, surveys, watching videos and leaving "likes", and so on. It also has the option of plugging into HoneyGain, a "share your personal bandwidth" service that allows for passive earnings. 

The big difference from sites like Swagbucks and Inbox Dollars and etc. is that you are paid out exclusively in the "JumpToken" (JMPT) crypto. So you'll need a compatible wallet to even begin to do anything with your earnings, and not all of them support JMPT; MetaMask is probably the  biggest and most familiar name that does. There is a cashout threshold of 0.5 JMPT, which is a very small amount (far below the $10 to $20 USD limits some similar sites impose). 


SITE HISTORY / LEGITIMACY


JumpTask is a legitimate "decentralized finance" (DeFi) project that has been active since 2022. The long-term idea is that JumpToken is to be used as a cryptocurrency specific to gig tasks and contracting jobs online, like UpWork and Fiverr-type stuff, but thus far its application is mainly just this offerwall site. Projects of this nature can suddenly lose their money and tank value for various reasons, or just fold up, but at this point it's very unlikely to be a scam and as a DeFi project there is extremely limited personal info you would be providing that could be ripped off. 

As far as JMPT goes, it's a legitimate crypto token listed on a number of exchanges that has been hovering in value at about $1 USD per coin for months now. 


INTERNATIONAL ACCESS


As a DeFi project, in theory JumpTask should be available everywhere. In practice, some of the regional app stores might not have the mobile version available as a download for some reason. But you should still be able to access the web browser version from anywhere, if there aren't some kind of national-level ISP blocks on it for whatever reason. You'll also need a crypto wallet that supports JMPT, and either that offers the ability to swap to another token type (that you can then convert to fiat) or lets you connect to an exchange to eventually get the JMPT into a more usable real-money form. 

It is also possible you could see fewer offers in certain countries. If anyone encounters issues with this or some sort of regional access problems, it would be great if you could leave a comment about it at the bottom of this post. 


STARTING OUT ON JUMPTASK


As a DeFi project there are no ID checks or hassle, just either visit the URL in a web browser or download the mobile app and go. As of this writing the app only appears to be available for Android and ChromeOS, no iOS version as of yet. 

Going down the list of available earnings options, the first is the "daily reward" (if you're using the mobile app version). This plugs you into the HoneyGain app to contribute your unused bandwidth for passive earnings. The two services have a formal partnership, as you can see here, and enabling the connection provides a 10% bonus to all JumpTask cashouts as well as the small "daily reward" token amount (again, via Android and ChromeOS only to get the daily reward as of this writing). 

If you're not interested at all in HoneyGain, you can simply skip the "daily reward" and move on to a number of other options. Next down the list is the collection of "partners."  This is the same as is seen at other GPT sites, with third party ad-and-offer outfits that don't have their own apps (such as Torox and Revu) that are basically mini-GPT sites within a GPT site. JumpTask makes you "unlock" these as you do tasks, however, with the only one initially available being HangAds.

Moving on down the list we reach "premium quick tasks," which is just a collection of the  most heavily-promoted tasks from the sections below. We'll skip on to "social media tasks" then, which seems to vary in task types over time but all I've encountered thus far is a couple of jerks paying literal one penny worth of JMPT to follow them on X, join someone's Telegram and "be active in the community" for a whopping two cents, or doing something I can't even comprehend on a Discord for 20 cents. Not the best section at a first glance. 

We then move on to "play to earn," which probably offers the most lucrative overall opportunities. Same deal as other GPT sites like Inbox Dollars and Freecash, download a game, reach certain achievements in the game within a certain amount of time, also probably get some amount of reimbursement for in-game purchases. 

Next up is "watch and earn," probably the quickest and easiest but also among the lowest-paying. Nearly all of these tasks send you to YouTube to watch a video and leave a "like" on it, usually for 2 cents USD per task. The other Google service-related thing here is a search task that has you visit a website and look for a string of words in a specific section that you then enter. Those tasks pay about 3 to 5 cents each. 

"Test and review apps" looks promising at first, with individual rewards of $4.50 for seemingly just leaving a positive review for an app. But there's more to it than that. All the ones I saw required that you sign up for a 7-day trial subscription with a credit card, which of course then renews automatically if you don't cancel it. Some people reported trouble with canceling some of the specific offers I saw.

Then you got your good ol' surveys, unlocked by completing one of any other task type. If you've seen surveys at other GPT sites you know what to expect (near the bottom of the barrel of the survey world, low pay, lots of abrupt screenouts). 

There are a few additional earnings categories under the main menu. "Web3 Tasks" seems to partner with third parties temporarily as well as having a category for JumpTask's own tasks, but I've yet to see anything actually available to do in there. "Bonus codes" seems to just be for entering someone else's referral code if you didn't do it at signup ("duxivolubuta" if you want to use mine, this provides a one-time 10% earning bonus on your first completed task after entering). I didn't see any regular daily or weekly codes or anything, if they're out there I don't know where to find them. And if you're interested in doing your own referrals, the program seems pretty decent offering a 10% lifetime bonus on all referral activity and no cap. 


PROBLEMS WITH JUMPTASK 


One inherent problem with JumpTask is simply that getting actual cash in your pocket is more indirect than with other similar GPT sites. You'll have to pay a small "gas fee" each time you move your earned JMPT into your wallet, then likely another small fee (for example, BNB if using MetaMask) to convert it to another token type, then possibly ANOTHER fee to convert that token to fiat via an exchange. The fees do tend to be negligible along this chain, and other sites charge as much as $5 to cash out via PayPal, but it's an added time cost and hassle on top. 

The layout isn't ideal either, at least in the mobile version. The Android app doesn't have a really good way of getting an overview of everything without a ton of finger-scrolling (the web browser version is a little bit better). 


FINAL VERDICT: MAY WORK FOR YOU





At a glance, JumpTask looks like just another GPT site but with added restrictions and hassles in terms of getting actual cash in your hand. However, there are some advantages that may not immediately be obvious. One is accessibility, a general lack of region restrictions and ID checks to cash out; sites like Freecash make you show an ID and take a selfie now. Those $4.50 "app review" tasks seem doable if you use a temporary credit card number (issued directly by some banks, or for anyone via privacy.com) that you can cut off before seven days pass to ensure you don't get billed if there's some issue with the cancellation process. And there's some future earning potential, the site may well expand beyond the usual GPT stuff given the intent of the project.

It's far from one of my top earners, but I consider this good enough to check in on from time to time. If you really believe in the long-term potential of JMPT, it's pretty quick and simple to earn a little here and there during downtime then just keep it in your wallet and see what happens (so more of a "small time investment for possible big future returns" thing like Pi or CaptchaCoin than an "earn cash to pay the bills daily" thing).

Pi Network Review

 



Available for Android and iOSSign up with our referral code ( ministerkataoka) to get a starting Pi token bonus and mining boost


First introduced in 2019, the Pi Network celebrated a major milestone with listing of its cryptocurrency on exchanges for the first time in early 2025. The most basic "work" in this case consists of tapping a button once per day, but is it even worth that much effort?


NATURE OF WORK AND PAYMENT


Pi isn't so much "microwork" as it is "crypto mining." However, it's unique in a couple of ways. Crypto mining usually means setting up some beefy rig to mine something very valuable like Bitcoin. Pi was designed from the start to be simple and work on common devices like phones without putting a strain on them, allowing even very basic hardware to participate. It's also gradually building a whole ecosystem that offers other earning opportunities, such as apps that can be built and run on its chain. 

The other big difference from other types of crypto mining: you don't actually have to use your compute power or utilities! Think of it more like one of those old Bitcoin faucets instead of a mining setup, except that's how the creators set the whole structure up from the beginning. Once every 24 hours, you tap the "mine" button. You're now gradually mining at your preset rate (determined by a number of factors, more on that later) for that whole period regardless of what you do: minimize the app, close it completely, turn the device off if you want. All you have to do is come back after 24 hours and hit the "mine" button again to start another cycle. The whole existing supply of Pi is pre-minted, and you just gradually get your share by showing up and verifying that you've hit the button once per day. 



So wait, what's to stop someone from buying a billion cheap devices and just pushin' the button on all of them once per day? A "know your customer" (KYC) identity verification requirement to actually move or use your minings, that ties your personal identity to that one particular account. You can freely move your account to new devices simply by logging in, but doing that on multiple devices doesn't help you at all (you just get the one check-in per account per day). 

Long-term, the overall system is that the earlier you get in and mine the more your Pi is worth. Whenever the network user count increases by a factor of 10, the base Pi mining rate gets halved. There is a total all-time maximum supply of 100 billion tokens. 

The one "work" element to this basic process is that you will sometimes randomly have to watch an ad after hitting your mining button for the day. This seems to be about a 50/50 chance, and the ad is the standard sort of thing you see in "freemium" mobile games and is usually easily skipped out of in short order.


SITE HISTORY / LEGITIMACY

Pi Network got its start in early 2019, and for a long while people thought it was gonna wind up being nothing more than pie-in-the-sky as it had a number of ups and downs through the early 20s. But it's a legit project backed by legit funding, and almost exactly six years later it finally took its big "Phase 3" step of beginning to be listed on cryptocurrency exchanges. 

After all this time, and tens of millions of users across the world, it's definitely not a scam and really doesn't appear to be in any danger of collapse at this point. The only question is how far it will go and how much its tokens will end up being worth. 


INTERNATIONAL ACCESS

Pi Network is available globally, but as part of the KYC process you may have to prove you are at least 18 years old. This involves submitting a photo of a valid government-issued ID through the app that demonstrates your name, date of birth and residential address.

All users will eventually have to do KYC or lose their accumulated Pi, but for many people the process has been paused until at least the end of 2025 as they apparently do not have the manpower or system in place to check all of these 10s of millions of IDs. The "Mainnet" tab in the app will tell you what your deadline is, if you're able to proceed through all the steps at this point, and provide links to the steps that are left. There is an "expedited" KYC method by creating an account with some sort of partner called "Banxa" and spending $20 USD to purchase Pi there, but apparently this is not available in all countries and there are several US states it cannot be done from as well.

There are some restrictions on nations using Pi, but the official FAQ page is cagey about exactly who and where. News articles indicate China is heavily restricted from trading and selling. Some of this may have to do with regional laws that ban all types of crypto, such as those in Thailand. But as of this writing, the biggest problem is a limited list of exchanges that it is listed on that are not available in every country. You can always mine and hold onto it and hope things change in the future, but for now there are some parts of the world where you can't do very much with it. 


STARTING OUT


Starting out is about as easy as it gets - find the Pi Network app on the Android or Apple app store and install. It's small and easy to deal with, and the Android one will install and work fine for Chromebook users. 

You can begin mining and accumulating immediately just by connecting a valid email address to your account and receiving a verification email. But, as mentioned above, for transactions you'll need to complete KYC steps and at the moment you might not be able to complete the full list for some months. 

You can keep it as simple as just tapping the button every 24 hours to mine, but there are some added earning opportunities. You can boost your mining rate by adding up to five other miners to your "Security Circle." The idea with this is that it should be people you personally know in real life, and their phone number will need to be in your phone contacts to add them. It's also best to add people who have either done KYC already or you are certain are going to when it becomes available. 

Another quick boost to your mining rate is to set a "lockup period." This is essentially kind of like staking; you set a percentage of your Pi that will become ineligible for transfer for a while, and a length of duration (from one month up to several years), and the greater the commitment the more of a mining boost you receive. The highest possible boost is 200% at the moment. 

There is also a more general referral system, called the "Ambassador" program (you can join via our referral link here or use code " ministerkataoka "). Every new referral provides a 25% boost to your current base rate during the time periods you and that person are both actively mining. There is no limit to referrals, and there is one additional incentive to this program: if a referral ends up developing and launching a Pi app, you get a one-time 1,000 Pi bonus! As a new user, if you sign up using someone's referral code, you get a 1.25 Pi bonus to start out. 

What was that about apps? Pi Network allows for decentralized app development and use through its own main app, via the partner app Pi Browser. This allows for an opportunity to use Pi as currency, some examples that are presently running are retail storefronts and a bunch of games including a poker app. However, this feature only just launched and as of this writing the ecosystem and apps are in a pretty rough and rudimentary state. 

Don't want to develop an app? Or gamble? No problem. You can get a sporadic "utility bonus" from spending time just using the various Pi apps and the Fireside message board. 

And if you have some hardware to devote to the task and some home internet to spare, you can run a Pi node. This is more like traditional Bitcoin-type mining and is a bit more involved, but the upside is it can be done on very modest (and fairly old) computers so you may well have a device laying around already fit for the task. Just note that this also requires you to separately check in and push a button once every 24 hours to keep it running. 


PROBLEMS WITH PI NETWORK


At least at the moment, you're still really on your own for figuring everything out (even after six years of development). There's no real "tech support" to speak of beyond a few unpaid volunteers you might be able to chat or message with. While the app is fairly well-designed, a lot of aspects are not really self-explanatory and require tracking down outside explanation - including one of the most fundamental things, how to view the Pi you've mined and the difference between in being in the app and in your wallet! The project is also in the midst of the mainnet "migration" and it's really not well-explained to new users what that is or if there is something they need to personally do. 

Unless you take the paid Banxa shortcut, finishing the KYC process requires you to wait to get a "slot" (basically an appointment) to do it. Some people are reporting waits of 1 to 3 years to get a slot! However, others with relatively new accounts say it's only taken several months. Personally I've only been using it for about two months and have heard nothing about this yet.


FINAL VERDICT - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you have an Apple or Android device, there's really no reason not to install this and at minimum just tap the button once per day. It's possible it could amount to no more than a few USD in the end, but there's always the chance that years from now you could be sitting on hundreds to thousands from this minimal effort. 

The big question is, of course, how much is it gonna be worth? At the moment, since it began listing on crypto exchanges around two months ago, it's fluctuated between about 50 to 80 cents USD per coin. Long-term, who knows. The future value seems to primarily hinge on people adopting it as a payment method. It has unique potential in the fact that its user base will eventually be entirely KYC'd, something not done with nearly all other types of crypto. I'm no expert, but from a general survey of a couple of discussion forums the very optimistic view seems to be $100 USD per coin in a few years. $1000 per coin would be the long shot pie-in-the-sky if there's some sort of incredible luck within the next 10 years. But hey, it's an easy and simple long-term gamble at no real risk and about the most minimum effort possible.
