Layer 2 Projects Speculation

[@sriyan]

What are the layer 2 projects for the targeting mainnet airdrops? I found a few of them with speculated time frames. Do you know about any other layer 2 projects?

Eg :
1. Layerzero(End of September)
2. Starknet (End of November)
3. Zksync(Q1 2024)

4. Optimism Round 3 (Q4 2023)
5. Base(2024)
6. Linea(2024)
7. Arbitrum Round 2

I'm a very fan of these layer-2 projects. What I only see as very strange and weird are these people who are trying and hoping for such airdrops even though they are not like they are wasting a lot of their time and some money just for trying to hope that there could be some airdrop in the future.
Well, it's their time and money, I'll leave it with them.

Among the list, I already tried layer zero, starknet, Zksync, and base, and overall they are good, cheap transaction fees which are common goals or benefits of every layer-2 network.
What I observed is volume is still low and UI or some platforms are almost identical with other layer-2 platforms which you can use in another chain already before even not using these new layer-2 networks.

getting less favor if eth reach 100k tps later in roadmap, and yes it will hapen this bullrun, after that better not holding layer2 coin
which is less usable and newer layer 1 already quite fast and cheap tx fee. so there is no point for layer to to utilze some cons layer1

It's as a marketing tool to increase awareness and promote their project. L2 projects really attract attention when they focus on topics that interest the community in this market, and sometimes there is also FOMO, when I see some opportunities to receive money, I think people will find it.
Some of the prominent names that I witnessed such as OP, ARB,... all had huge airdrops with people who are active on their ecosystem, I think this is not difficult to join just a contest take time to make sure you research the features you need to use to get a good position on the snapshot list.

I need to look into some of these, as well as L1s, but still feel like it's too early to be speculating with any satoshis on any altcoins yet. Maybe sometime end of the year or early next year will be a good time. Any of these newer project could dump hard, especially if Bitcoin corrects further, so not interested in anything quite yet. Be nice to have another few 10/50x coins next year though.

Layer 2 projects trends is on the top nowadays and all mentioned project are progressing. Aptos was first project gives a very good airdrop to Its early supporter. I was also among these lucky early member and got 150 tokens worth more than 1k that time. from that time I started to take parts in other speculation airdrops. I had missed Optimism before but did lot of transaction on Arbitrum and also got airdrop from it. now for future I have made lot if transactions, NFT  and other possible criteria for Base, Zksync, Linea, Layerzero and Starknet. I think the list has all possible layer 2 which has possibility to give airdrops to community.

1. Layerzero(End of September)
2. Starknet (End of November)
3. Zksync(Q1 2024)
4. Aptos Round 2(Possible in October)
5. Optimism Round 3 (Q4 2023)
6. Base(2024)
7. Linea(2024)
8. Arbitrum Round 2

You have written date with each network,may i know who told you the exact date of their mainnet, is it available in their road map?

Is there any news of arbitrum 2 , Aptos round 2 and optimism round 3 airdrop?

Some of them look like they have decent looking charts and there are some ok spots to be taken advantage of for making a little something something.    But hard to expect a coin that'll go 5x - 10x in a span of a couple of months in this kind of market.  I'd be happy to get my 2x, thanks very much.  If there's any, that is...   And there's all the...  How do I say this, I guess 'bad stuff' going on all over.  So yeah people are prolly reluctant to play the crypto gambling game.

If you wont play the game then you wont gain nothing which it is the basic principle and having tons or lots of coins in the market whether new L1 or L2's then it wont really be that something that can be known

whether it would be jumping in 5x or 10x in Bull run period but assuming out on the things that could possibly happen in BR then we do really accumulate on coins as much as we could and this is where analysis
and experience would really be having the advantage when choosing up coins. These L2's would really be sharing up on the same principle on which trying out to solve and make something more better compared
into those layer one type of coins in the market but doesnt mean that they could really be able to beat up in terms in overall demand.

We've seen that L1's would really be that still highly be that supported despite of those lackings and flaws that they do have.

If you checked the STRK contract, you can see the first coin unlock date is 29th November 2023. Stargate version 2 will be released in the middle of this month. If they release it, they need a gas token(ZRO) for that. You can get a rough idea about Aptos and Optimism from the vesting schedule graph. Zksync does not have a DAO part yet(2024).

The 100k TPS you talk about is scaling via L2 rollups only.

What these rollups do is they execute transactions on their own L2, batch (“rollup”) these transactions into a single block, and then send that block to the L1 as a single transaction, so technically transactions still happen on L1. However, due to current limited blockspace on L1 this is limited and so far we have arbitrum on top with ~1K TPS  (https://ethtps.info).

With Ethereum updates rollups will be given increased and separate block data space, so L2s will be able to rollup more transaction data into one before sending to L1. This will scale even further with 'Sharding' where Ethereum will be divided into multiple shards each shard having it's own data space which could possibly give Ethereum 100k TPS.

This is based on my understanding, feel free to CMIIW.

Which network STRK contract has been deployed? I do every week Layerzero task. My wallet first transaction is six months old and I hope that if Layerzero has any idea of giving airdrop My wallet will also be eligible for it. Normally all new chains airdrop eligibility is to make more than 10 transactions, more than 3k$ volume and interect wallet in different week(sometime first and last transaction gap should be one month) and I did all tasks.

I think Aptos and optimism airdrop will be not best because amy users recieved only 10-50 OP in second airdrop which is very low than first. I think interection with dapps and nft will be required for second and third airdrop. What do you think criteria for second airdrop?

APTOS

Aptos(Layer 1 project) will check the following scenarios.

1. Stake $APT
2. Provide Liquidity
3. Bridge into Aptos
4. Number of transactions(Over months, weeks, days)
5. Volume of the transactions
6. Aptos Twitter tasks(Optional) - Live
7. Aptos domain name service(This one in the Aptos website)
8. Buy and sell NFTs


Optimism

The next one is optimism round 3. If you checked the vesting schedule of the optimism, There is another 13% for the future airdrops. Also, that should be distributed to the community before the May of 2024. It will be a 900 Million value airdrop for the current value of optimism. This time will be the biggest airdrop from the optimism. They did not check arbitrum-like conditions in previous rounds.

Starknet

Currently, STRK built on the Ethereum network
Proof: https://etherscan.io/token/0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766

Aptos and ARB are somehow known since there are articles of them on popular crypto new sites. The rest are on the uphill batlle even in the bull market.

You wouldn't be bagging these tokens yet when the bull run is not very obvious in the coming months. Though BTC halving is almost here, you wouldn't risk jumping into these tokens yet. What you may earn from holding your BTC is probably a lot more than converting it to these tokens.

...I found a few of them with speculated time frames. Do you know about any other layer 2 projects?..

Where did you get such data about the timing of airdrop? As a rule, all the projects you have listed have not announced airdrop at all, and most of them specifically said that airdrop is not provided. So I would like to hear by what criteria you have set the airdrop date for the projects you have listed.

You can find that data from the following things.

1. Github Repository(If there any airdrop or not)
2. Smart contract(You can find the first token unlock date from here)

Yes. No project-giving date for the airdrops. we have to figure it out.

6. Linea(2024)
7. Arbitrum Round 2

Layerzero isn't an L2. If you're counting Layerzero then you should add Q Blockchain, they have an incentive campaign in September. Q is the governance layer for Ethereum and includes a security layer 0.

[el kaka22]

These are really not the ones I would look for, Matic was a layer 2 if I am not wrong and if you want to talk about layer 2, that is the best one out there. People are overreacting on this layerzero thing and just look at the rankings and you will see why it is not good at all.

Even ARB is better than layerzero at this moment and I would not consider ARB to be anywhere close to Matic right now. Just go with polygon if you want to invest into that, it would not be really that much of a big deal and should be considered a good deal. I think it is quite important to make it happen one way or another. I believe that we are going to end up with something that would make a lot more sense, it should be important to stick with the classics.

Appears you just read the title and not the body. Op is talking about L2 project's that may do an airdrop. Layerzero has confirmed token $ZRO looking at their github, it's not surprising that people are speculating on it.

I received optimism round 3 today(End of Q3). I assumed it would happen in October. This time they followed the same scenarios of round 2.

Optimism Round 3 Calculation

Let's assume you are delegated 50 OP and vote on more than 02 proposals

Number of points = 50 OP * 180 = 9000 points
Op allocation = (0.67*9000*3)/365 = 50 op(Airdrop)


There will be a Round 4 as well. (This should be distributed before May 2024)

thats a big if right there considering the proposed L2 was also considered solution back then but turns out it was also not really do much towards the gas fee of ethereum in general.
but im also faithful believer that ethereum will eventually will solve its problem, basically the thing that you mentioned is their supposed sharding mechanism where they gonna reduce load off ethereum in processing transactions but its definitely gonna be difficult to implement and requires a lot of time, moreover the testing phase would be massive time consuming.
at this point i'd prefer with L2 but yeah, if ethereum could somehow solve this problem L2 will be irrelevant.
