Hey guys...  If you missed the ARB airdrop, there's prolly more projects out there that will have their own airdrop.  There's another L2 roll up out there called zkSync which could airdrop later this year.  Here's a guide that could give us a chance in getting some free tokens.

Edit:  First before first...  Read and learn more about the project and always read the docs.

https://zksync.io/
https://era.zksync.io/docs/

First, bridge some ETH via Orbiter Finance.

https://www.orbiter.finance/

Then once you get some ETH to the network, you could go on ahead and play around their live projects.

I suggest playing around with SpaceFi, Mute.io and SyncSwap.

https://www.spacefi.io/
https://mute.io/
https://syncswap.xyz/

Use these protocols to swap and do some LP'ing to get your total volume and usage in the network up.  When I was playing around Arbitrum, I had my total volume to a tad more than 10k USD in a couple of months or so without realizing it.  I didn't even think Arbitrum would really have an airdrop.  I felt I just got lucky.  So if you wanna get lucky with zkSync and be eligible for their airdrop, you have to use the project and the protocols developed in it.

Here's a tip, put most of your volume in SyncSwap and use it the most as they haven't released their own token yet and could also have their own airdrop soon.  ;)

There are other protocols that could help you get lucky in getting your address eligible for the airdrop.  I haven't used them tho.

Mint Square and zkAnimals.  Mint Square is zkSync's NFT marketplace, zkAnimals is a NFT project which could have its own airdrop soon.  Keep on the look out.

That's it for me.  If you guys like more content like this, just drop a line and let's find more projects.

A little caveat:  This guide doesn't assure you that you'll be eligible if they do have an airdrop.

The easiest way is to find information about ecosystem projects on this resource, and then make 5-10 transactions per week or 2 weeks.

Risks, read this thread

There are a lot of new and unsafe projects where you will be testers, so do not use large amounts.

I agree with you, Zksync will be the next ARB. we just need to be active on their ecosystem and hope to qualify for their Airdrop. Besides Zksync we also need to pay attention to Layer Zero, I think it's also a good project.

for Airdrop info and guide I have recommendations to follow. please check this twitter account (https://twitter.com/0xFastLife). I think can be used as a reference

ZkSync Is One Of The Best New Trending Topics And I Have Seen Many Times In Twitter Platform Going On Trending And I Hope Airdrop Is Very Good And Very Big Allocation Pools And Every Valid Airdrop Participants Are Really So Lucky.

Thank you for this guide. The zkSync Era project is really powerful and is much stronger than the Arbitrum, and has so far managed to raise millions of dollars, which is the layer 2 solution on ETH. I participated in it and did everything you mentioned in the topic a month ago, and I have great certainty that there is a massive airdrop that will come in the end because the CEO of the project mentioned that 2/3 of the token supply will go to the community and I hope that these are not just false promises and follow the example of what the SUI team did.

I think that participating once in the main network is not correct, but each person must keep a good amount of his money to spend it also on fees and distribute it over 6-8 months.

even though there are no information just yet in regard of the eligibility of the airdrops just like retroactive airdrops generally but the guides all mentioned in this thread i think will do the deed. moreover these retroactive airdrops are always trying to find some unique eligibility i guess doing something more might be better.

i also remember the same, but then again this could acts for reminder that zksync might possibly have the airdrops.
even though in following airdrops of zksync we definitely requires some capital but which airdrops nowadays don't most of them requires their prospective future airdrops eligible users to do testing in their blockchain.

I have almost similar guide like you but it seems like that you shall try to add more things in your guide.

I just recommend to add 1inch task and layer zero task.

Layer zero recently supporting zksync

https://twitter.com/LayerZero_Labs/status/1651588515652845568

It has been officially announced on layer zero's twitter. That means if we can take two advantages at the same time

Increasing the contract interaction in ERA main net as well as layer zero main net too. I think that it must be added in your guide. This is just a suggestion. Since there are so many rumors about layerzero token that based on retro drops.

I like the review - both interesting and informative, and the project interested me. An excellent guide to action. Thank you for suggesting a great idea and a promising project.

Not sure if zkSync's average airdrop per wallet would be as big as Arbitrum's but with a little bit of sweat equity and some payment for gas fees, it should be decent enough to help you build a stack to use for the upcoming bull market.

And yeah I have my eye on Layer Zero for a while now.  Been using some protocols that's been built on top of it.  I'll try to make another guide about it soon.  ;)


That's what the forum is for...  Let's share info.  Please add other protocols you think that's good to use.  

Anyway, the difference between Arbitrum and zkSync is when I started to use Arbitrum, there were already some interesting protocols in there besides the usual bridging, swapping and LP'ing protocols.  Arbitrum already had an options exchange, an auto compounding protocol and lending.

This is correct and it is good to use defillama if anyone wants to know information like zksync, I have tried to use this platform and for me it is also very informative at least for me and it also brings help in checking the new projects.
But there is still no confirmation that zksync will hold airdrops, right? I guess it's just a preparation in case it happens and at least we use their platform a few times a week.

I think layer zero has now integrated with zksync which means if someone are gonna do some retroactive then we could easily do both within just one transaction which might save a lot of fee honestly both project seem to have really good quality if i'm being honest, even layer zero is rather revolutionary.

You can also use a bridge https://cbridge.celer.network/324/10/ETH Until May 15, an action is being held to refund 80% of the funds spent on commissions in the case of using the bridge from the ceти zkSync ERA network to the Optimism network. In this case, you will receive rebate in OP coins.

thanks for great information but honestly i've always wondered if these bridge actually execute the same diamond contract that zksync have for their bridging from their own platform because this might potentially cause the eligibility of bridging the asset over to zksync blockchain missed, but regardless it's always great that there are solution for saving the gas fee even if it's rebate.
right now I think layer zero is also doing the same thing but it seems in their platform that is in stargate there is no zksync option to select maybe they are still in the way of processing and implementing their contract inside the zksync blockchain and sees complications.

The issue I find with ZkSync is that it seemed way too many people are trying to abuse the airdrop. You got tons of people on discord asking every 5 mins if there will be an airdrop and you got people basically creating tons of accounts to farm as much of this airdrop as possible.

So even if it’s released we will get a small portion and the account farmers will probably get the majority and dump
It once there is a market released. And the airdrop is probably another 8-9 months away, it’s not happening anytime soon.

and the possibility of an airdrop could be eliminated like the SUI project which is trending lately, but officials said there was no airdrop program for their project, imagine that many people have done it and hoped the airdrop would come, but it didn't.

Thats inevitable mate. Actually even on arbitrum there are a lots of sybil. Even though they say that they are against it. They cant really push them off since the project knew that they are contirbuting to the network TVL in terms of liquidty and volume to some dapps. This will help them in some way and negating those would definitely bad on their side too. Personally I hate sybil, since they are milking projects but its up to the network how they will remedy that.

One way or another, but the commissions on the ZkSync network are not much lower than in ERC-20, and if you decide to create a lot of accounts in order to receive airdrop, you will have to spend badly on commissions. And since there are no official guarantees that early participants will be rewarded, participants will be careful to create additional accounts.

Do you think the criteria that were worked on Arbitrum Token will also work on other chains too like zkSync? Because it seems become overrated now and/or maybe a lot of people will abuse it, which somehow on Arbitrum there were a lot of wallets that got airdropped was suspected abusing after the airdrop already even though they have this "Sybil detection" (to identify abusers).
 

My question is that, is it already too late? I've seen some twitter threads regarding airdrop guides as well on this coin but I'm afraid I'll just waste my effort and money again just like that I missed that ARB airdrop even though I do the guides. The thing with this airdrop is that they won't give any guides and at the end of the day you'll just be amaze you're not eligible again.

This is really interesting topic and please i want more of this content here, on the other hand my question would be, are they still on the testnet? I am going to be playing around with it with my real eth or testnet eth? I am kinda confused about that part

Yes I found the commissions to be fairly high for a network that is notthat mainstream yet. Its pricy doing transaction on the ZkSync Lite, and I am assuming Era is going to be similar. There is also a fee you need to pay if you want to use a new address, its something like $2.

Now why are the fees so high? Either there is alot of bots which are farming the airdrop or the network is not efficient. With Polygon you can send MATIC for a fraction of a penny. But with ZkSync the transactions cost as much as Arb or BNB pretty much.

Both of them are layer 2 so no wonder why there are similarities. It's normal in the crypto space that when there are projects who got successful, there will then be similar projects that will be released but they are far from the meme coin which have no solid use cases so we must not worry.

The big funding that they got is already a proof that many people trusted them and believe on their potential apart from the possibility that they will be giving out an airdrop. It's only sad to know that airdrops have now changed. Now users are required to have a decent capital to interact on the project but on the past, participants can just use the testnet and they are now qualified for the airdrop.

It all depends on the program of each project, but for testnet users there is hope to be eligible to get an airdrop, but now focus on swap, bridge and participate in community support for the main priority to be included in the list of airdrop recipients, I'm happy to have gotten an arbitrary airdrop and the airdrop era will return .

There are many ways to participate in the airdrop program but we have to follow some of your suggestions to be eligible to get an airdrop, I have reviewed several articles and telegram news that they will distribute the airdrop program and we must have a history of activity from their exchange so that we get a great opportunity to get an airdrop.

And after SUI's sudden change of plans of going for their presale which really looks more like a more organized and elaborate ICO leveraging different exchanges, I think other projects will see this and soon be thinking of doing the same thing.  

But it's still not bad to go and hunt for airdrops, esp if you're just starting out and still building your bankroll.  Just be aware that nothing in all of this is a sure thing...  I still feel I just got lucky to be included in the Arbitrum snapshot tbh.  Could have easily missed it.

All you need to know in most of these airdrop process is to first interact with the main blockchain (zksync) in this case the  look up the ecosystem and interact with as much dapps as you can.
If your interaction is with Goerli eth then yu won't feel any dip in your pocket except the time sent, but once the blockchain is already live like zksync then you will face the wrath of eth gas fees  ;D

I don't think it's too late to include you in future airdrops. Although, zysync doesn't really make any announcements, it seems that this is the style of airdrops that become successful if ever there are airdrops.

       It is necessary that you first actively use their platform for 2-3 months or more. So that means, there can be airdrops and there can be none in the end. But even if that's the case, I don't think it's a loss if you use their platform to make money via trading or staking.

zksync, layerzero, starknet are also rumored to be holding or equivalent to ARB because the funding from each of these projects is also high and cannot be underestimated.
this is a good opportunity if indeed we missed the previous arb. ;D

For those who are active in Layer Zero and zkSync networks, there is good news: "Layer Zero is now live on zkSync Era mainnet" - https://twitter.com/LayerZero_Labs/status/1651588515652845568. This means that when interacting with one of the networks, there will be count interactions in the other network as well.

I'm not sure on the first place, but it's good to know that airdrops on the first place. 
 
As far as I know, there's no need to wait for the time to get airdrops, but if you're going to be able to get you're going to need to be at least a little bit more careful than you are right now. 
 
The is to make sure you're not going to be late in the game, and that's the best way to get airdrops. 
 
Also. 
 
For example, if you're going to be late in the game, you can try to find airdrops on the first place, and

If Stargate Finance would start having a bridge to zkSync that would be great.  Been using them to transfer between chains and they've been great so far.  Just a couple of bucks in fees and never had any problems so far.  

Anyway, there isn't much to do in zkSync besides the usual.  And there isn't much stables flowing in that would make devs offer their services in the chain.  I saw a new lending protocol tho which should come in handy if you want more chain activity.
