Zksync ERA is here

[robattfield]

I understand that ZKsync has released their Mainnet and is providing an airdrop to the participants of the Mainnet transaction. I agree that if you are interested in this airdrop, you should make some transactions on the Mainnet to be eligible to participate. However, I would like to emphasize that investing in cryptocurrencies is risky and you should decide for yourself before deciding to invest in any cryptocurrency. Because of seeing the fomo of people pouring into this ecosystem, the more I feel that sometimes when we see a good opportunity but don't prepare well for it, that opportunity will never come.

After the successful airdrop from Arbitrum, all attention is focused on the upcoming airdrop from zkSync Era. In order not to be a bystander and qualify for the upcoming airdrop, it is necessary to interact with the main zkSync Era network. You can see a detailed guide here: https://airdropclaimers.medium.com/zksync-era-mainnet-complete-guide-575a439feabb

This one feels different from ARB.  With ARB I mostly used it out of interest to see what the fuss was all about with L2's...  And I liked using it because it didn't require me to buy a token.  The airdrop was an added bonus and it's good to feel that early users are appreciated.

Now that a lot of people realized they missed out on ARB, they're all going into zKSync to get their chance for getting into an airdrop of their own.  But I don't think it's gonna be the next rotation that everybody is waiting for.  I think it's gonna be Zero Layer's airdrop.  Same vibe as ARB.  No announcement of an airdrop but you know it would be stupid of them not to have one.

Still worth playing around zKSync tho, don't get me wrong. 

In addition to these projects, it is necessary to pay attention to Arbitrum Nova, whose team stated that the protocol will have its own token. And it is obvious that the airdrop distribution conditions for this network will be similar to the ARB airdrop. Therefore, in my opinion, everyone should do the necessary minimum so that later, when there is an airdrop distribution, they do not regret their inaction.

Where'd you get the info that Arbitrum Nova is going to have its own token?  I think it's kinda not really needed after they've just released ARB imho.  It would be better if they used ARB as the token for Nova too and thereby adding more value to it.

Anyway, besides Layer Zero's airdrop, there's Rage Trade.    It's a decentralized perpertual exchange for trading with up to 5x leverage.  There's only ETH/USDC available tho.  But been using it and try to be eligible for an airdrop.

Perfect guide. I have some ETH in my wallet for holding and will use part of them for experiencing Zksync ERA wallet, bridge, swap and dApps. I missed Arbitrum and hopefully I won't be disappointed with Zksync ERA this time.

That article is informative, detailed but I wonder is it a best Medium channel for Airdrop announcements and guides? Do you know any others ?

I am sure that there are many similar guides and it would be good if such links were shared here. And I also admit that there are more convenient guides, but I am not aware of such, and accordingly I shared what I use myself.

I hope someone answer this question about the Zksync airdrop.

After bridging with Zksync Era mainnet am I going ti leave the ETH I bridged on the wallet and never move or I am free to move it back to ETH chain and withdraw? Also, I have indeed tried to swap back to ETH but it takes days already and my wallet is still Zero. Any idea?

have you done a research before? the transaction will need more than 24 hours to be delivered into the L1 but due to the network congestion in ethereum and it may take more than it. I have a way for you to deposite your ETH zksync easily rather than bridge.
I have not yet tried this way but it seems like that if you can try to deposit eth zk directly from zk mainnet to the cex like mexc. You can convert it back to the ethereum native coin.

I will try to do that method very soon.

It depends on yourself. It's free for you to leave it in the zksync blockchain or move it back to your L1 wallet.

it seems zksync got bigger funding compared with arbitrum but the airdrop itself is still rather unclear, there's no clarification whatsoever so everyone doing the swapping, etc in their blockchain should always be prepared for any scenario.

I read some tweet from them that airdrop wont happen this year and might take a year, so don’t get overhyped and continue to analyze. This could be bigger but there’s no need to rush based on their own statement. Did some transaction already, i just don’t know if its enough already because the fees are too high for me. Looking forward for the success of this project as well, this can be big.

I remember that the arbitrum team did the same announcement before. They say they are not planning for an airdrop but eventually they announce that an airdop is happening. Maybe the same thing is planning by zksync here. They don't want people to come only because of the airdrop but they want genuine people who like them for what they are and what they are offering.

I thought zkync provides another solution so why is the fees high? Hmm, I guess that is because they are getting a high demand from those people who want to avail of their airdrop. Zksync is not a new project but I already heard of them before so the title of this thread must be "airdrop era"  because I notice many solid projects are conducting it but of course their requirements are not easy.

[Psynthax]

airdrops still a year away, so no need rushing in, currently the fee of ethereum didn't make sense again, you're more likely just wasting time if you try interacting with this l2.

that's quite unfortunate but certainly the team has reason behind it, of course even the fact that zksync airdrop is still unclear already speaks a lot that one shouldn't have many expectation, but it's always worth it to just follow around the trend just like arbitrum.

True! People are rushing in finishing the requirements to be eligible at a time where fees are ridiculously high when they can try to finish it later on when the fees subsided. I guess that it will not be too late since they have indicated or speculated the date where this airdrop will end. We still don't know, There's a chance that the Airdrop hype will be gone when Zksync token is airdropped to the eligible users. Airdrops are just becoming hot because of what ARB did on it's launch that's why people expecting this token  to be like that. The anticipation of this token airdrop is strong and let's see how this will turns out in the future.

They just worry that they will miss the airdrop. On some exchanges, withdrawal fee for Ethereum is 0.01 ETH that is about $18. It's ridiculously high withdrawal fee and I will avoid doing this at the moment.

Furthermore, even with non custodial wallets, you will have to spend high fee for your transaction on Ethereum blockchain ERC20. Point is people don't know when the snapshot will be made as data for airdrop distribution so they fomo and accept to pay high transaction fee. Missing Optimism and Arbitrum looks to be enough for them and Zksync is the next airdrop they don't want to watch as outsiders.

I believe those tokens will have better price in 2024 bull run but airdrop receivers will not have enough patience and belief in those projects to hold their distributed token about one year.

I see a lot of people talking about the opportunity to make money and get rich quick from the airdrop after a recent event, however I see that people are being drawn into the market in a new way. People need to know that people who have earned money from bounty events, airdrops,... in this space are not lucky, and with Zksync I think many people will be disappointed about participating without study about it. Take a look at the recent Arbitrums that put out requirements to select addresses that meet the requirements for the bonus, and what does not match the criteria of free money in the market, with some costs not cheap i think this got rid of a lot of participants.

Given the previous experience of distributing such airdrops, we see that such a distribution can occur several years after the launch of the main network. So the main Arbitrum One network was launched in August 2021, respectively, to expect an airdrop from Zksync Era this year does not look real.

that's true, I've seen the eligibility criteria of arbitrum airdrops shows that there's at least 9 months of time for everyone to do some transaction within the chain, i'd say something similar would be the case for zksync and any other L2 airdrops, so if someone tries to try the chain out, they still have quite long time left.

They announced like a couple months ago that it's very likely that they're having an airdrop at the second quarter of the year.  And just a while ago, they confirmed it.  But dunno...  Seems like it won't he a valuable as the ARB airdrop as the zKSync one will really be crowded and the airdropped tokens might be spread too thin to all eligible.  I think it's more worth it to focus on Layer Zero and other protocol based airdrops like Rage Trade.  But that's just me.

And just wondering...  How much was the average amount in Aptos' airdrop?

[disconnectme]

Most people won't have known about this ZKSync if not for the expectations around the possible future airdrops. I do advise people to use the chain and try several of the apps and prepared for the possible future airdrops, I read today that someone was able to make $1 million farming $ARB, that is life-changing money but just feel like it has become a crowded trade now.

Many people think so, Zksync will be the next ARB.

Thanks for sharing a great article here.
Many people want to get Airdrop from Zksync, but still don't understand what they should do. The article is very helpful.

This is a great opportunity to earn great rewards through supporting using their chain.

[disconnectme]

I understand a lot of people are positioning themselves for potential airdrops on this chain but to my surprise there are no good projects on the chain, unlike Arbritum when the growth was organic and attracted a lot of good projects and developers, Zksync is struggling to do that for now, maybe if there are incentives to build on the chains this would change, most of these projects on the chain are just copycats and memes, people will just farm the airdrops and leave, this is not what you want, you want to build a community around your projects

[tvplus006]

...This is a great opportunity to earn great rewards through supporting using their chain.

It is obvious that now a lot of people have started to perform tasks on the zkSync Era network, which led to an increase in the commission on the network. Therefore, now it is necessary to perform several interactions with the zkSync Era network, and then take a break until the network commission becomes less. Otherwise, the costs of completing tasks in this network will be very high.

Since the token already confirmed for the future and zksync got hyped now. People just need to repeat the same pattern like what they did it in the previous blockchain. ARB and optimism have become real proof about how the free token can give you a  lot of mone, it needs to be patience, working on airdrop is not the same like working in the bounty. You need patiently doing transactions regularly. That being said that if you need dicipline to interact with network.

Precisely, this is how it should be. Use dapps/chain just because you are interested in them and not with expectation for retrospective airdrop.

Now that a lot of people realized they missed out on ARB, they're all going into zKSync to get their chance for getting into an airdrop of their own.  But I don't think it's gonna be the next rotation that everybody is waiting for.  I think it's gonna be Zero Layer's airdrop.  Same vibe as ARB.  No announcement of an airdrop but you know it would be stupid of them not to have one.

So many people are farming zksync and layerzero that I have feeling that there won't be airdrop for them, and if there wil be, it gonna be with stringent requirements.
