ZKSYNC is an Ethereum layer 2 scaling solution that has captured the attention of the crypto world. As the project’s long-awaited token prepares to go live, many expect a generous airdrop, fueled by zkSync’s massive $450 million treasury. This airdrop strategy aims to attract a wide range of early users.
Follow these steps to maximize your chances of receiving the zkSync airdrop:
- Create and fund a MetaMask wallet: Assuming you’ve already completed this step, you can move on to the next one. I use Binance to send ETH to the ETH Mainnet.
- Connect to zkSync 1.0 Mainnet: Access the older version of zkSync (live since 2020) by connecting your MetaMask wallet to the ZKSYNC wallet website. Then, use the official bridge to transfer Ether from the Ethereum mainnet to zkSync 1.0.
- Mint an NFT and trade on ZigZag exchange: On the zkSync wallet website, mint and then make a trade. Be sure to use the zkSync 1.0 network instead of Arbitrum.
- Claim free tokens on zkSync 2.0 testnet: Head to the zksync 2.0 portal and request funds on the faucet page. Note that these tokens have no real value since they’re on the testnet.
- Explore top zkSync 2.0 testnet applications: Check out the list of live applications on the zkSync 2.0 testnet and try them all to increase your airdrop chances. Focus on the most accessible and established options, such as Onchain.trade, MES Protocol, Mute, SyncSwap, Trustless.fi, Mint Square, Kreatorland, and Orbiter Bridge.
-
Join zkSync’s Discord and complete crew3 tasks: Visit the Zksync discord, connect your wallet, Discord, and Twitter accounts, and complete tasks on Crew dashboard to level up and earn Discord roles. These roles can influence the amount of airdrop you receive, so use the same wallet you’ve used in the previous steps.
