📜 **SCROLL Network** Another L2 has entered the zkEVMs land, also known as zkRollups. We are talking about SCROLL Network, an open source collaboration with the Ethereum community. __________ 🧠 As we know, the architecture of a zkEVM allows transactions to be validated off-chain and sent for registration on the mainnet, this provides speed and lower cost. With so many zkRollups competing for market share, the main difference is in the level of compatibility with the Ethereum network, and this has its benefits and cons, in short, greater compatibility allowing Ethereum dapps to be deployed without many changes to the code, lower performance, that is, slower and possibly a little more expensive. While we wait for this dispute to unfold, we can interact with the Scroll mainnet that was recently launched, let's go! __________ To commemorate this moment they launched **SCROLL ORIGINS**, an NFT mint to celebrate Scroll’s earliest builders. 🪂 Everyone who deploys a smart contract to Scroll Mainnet within 60 days of Genesis Block (October 10) will be eligible for one of the three types of NFTs: **1. Quintic**: Deploy to Scroll mainnet before November 9 **2. Quartic:** Deploy to Scroll mainnet before November 24 **3. Cubic:** Deploy to Scroll mainnet before December 9 Note: There will be extra surprises for exceptional contracts (liquidity, interaction, complexity, etc.) **How to do that ?** First we need to bridge some ETH to the Scroll Network, I made it trough RhinoFi, until November 14th they are waiving the bridge fees. **⭐** Go to https://app.rhino.fi/bridge + Choose ETH token + Select any available source chain + Destination chain = “Scroll” + Hit “Review Bridge” and “Bridge Funds” If you are not a dev and just want to participate in the campaign, I advise you to just create an NFT through **NFTs2Me**, that is enough to become eligible. **⭐** Go to https://nfts2me.com/ + Click on "Create your Project" + Choose "Editions" + Fill in the fields and upload an image + Click on "Create Collection" + Enter the "fee" and "size" (quantity) + Finally "Deploy to Scrol zkEVM" **⭐** Check **eligibility** here: https://scroll.io/developer-nft/check-eligibility **⭐ Mint** this Soulbond NFT if you are for peace: https://scroll-of-peace.nfts2.me/ This is a message that deserves to be shared, hit the 🔁 to spread peace and love. __________ As it is still very early, we will soon post a complete guide on DeFi apps.

**LiFi Protocol** With so many Layers 1 and 2 launching their super blockchains, each with their own differences, attracting more and more users, major challenges begin to emerge and one of them is the split of liquidity between chains. The solution is to develop bridges that allow you to share this liquidity in a clean and smooth way. In this thread you will understand **LiFi's proposal** and how to position yourself for a possible **AIRDROP of the token** interacting with their main product. __________ 🧠 **What is LiFi and what is its proposal?** We believe that the next big deal in crypto will be **INTEROPERABILITY** protocols, the missing piece for the Blockchain gear to function at its full potential, and LiFi is one of the great promises of this business. Follow me 👇 Developers have introduced blockchain bridges to fulfill the need for interoperability and unify the increasingly fragmented crypto landscape. But bridges are constrained by the interoperability trilemma, and it is likely that a single bridge will not be able to satisfy all the needs of all users and developers. This is where LiFi comes into the picture, they are not another bridge, they are an aggregator of bridges aiming to increase the ease of interoperability within this ever-growing ecosystem and they do this through their product: **Jumper Exchange** __________ 🪂 **AIRDROP Strategy** LiFi has a campaign called Loyalty Pass that provides a distinct and measurable representation of each user interaction with LI.FI and Jumper. This structure ensures a transparent reflection of each user's contribution. Jumper Exchange users will earn points monthly based on 3 categories: * Volume * Number of transactions * Number of chains used Let’s go! 😎 __________ 🚉 If you don't have enough gas on any of these networks, use Jumper's **“Refuel”** feature - https://jumper.exchange/refuel ⭐ **Go to** - https://jumper.exchange/exchange 1 - zkSync ETH –> ETH Optimism (Across) 2 - Optimism ETH –> ETH Arbitrum (Hyphen) 3 - Arbitrum ETH –> ETH Base (Stargate) 4 - Base ETH –> MATIC Polygon (HOP) 5 - Polygon MATIC –> ETH zkSync (Across) Total Spent: ~$4,50 __________ That's fine for now, do this once a week, diversifying networks and tokens. Remember to act when GWEI is low to save on fees. ⭐**** Use **CoinTool** to track GWEI - https://cointool.app/gasPrice/eth Thanks for following us!

Say hello to **Ethereum Holesky** ! The Goerli testnet is shutting down, and a new testnet is taking its place: **Holesky**. For those who like to farm testnets **🧑‍🌾**, it might be a good idea to claim hETH as the Goerli network will be discontinued at the beginning of 2024. Anyone who participated in the Linea Voyage campaign knows the importance of having a good supply of test tokens. To claim hETH follow these steps: ✨ Access - https://faucet.quicknode.com/ethereum/holesky… > Connect Wallet > Choose "Ethereum" chain and "Holesky" network > Pass your address > Continue > Claim 4 hETH by sharing on your Twitter (wait ~12 hrs to claim) or 1 hETH, choose the best option for you Add Holesky network to your wallet: ✨ Access - https://chainlist.org > Activate "Include Testnets" > Search for - Holesky > Connect Wallet > Add to Metamask > Approve That's all 🫡
📢 **MEGA THREAD - POLYGON 2.0** Polygon is undergoing a major update and we've covered the most important changes for you! In this thread you will find: 🧠 Polygon 2.0 🔎 zkEVM and Supernets 🪙 Tokenomics Update 🪂 CUBEFI airdrop route __________ **🏗️ Architecture Changes:** Upgraded Polygon PoS (zkEVM validium) offers very high scalability and very low fees. It is a great option for applications that have a high volume of transactions and require low fees, e.g. Web3 gaming and social. Polygon zkEVM rollup offers the highest level of security, with the trade-off of slightly higher fees and limited throughput. It is ideal for applications that process high-value transactions and where security is a priority, e.g. high value DeFi applications. Polygon Supernets: Specific blockchains created with Polygon technology that respond to the Ethereum main network through an interoperability layer, are a solution aimed at the institutional public where other networks can be easily built with the Chain Development Kit (CDK). **🪙 Tokenomics Changes:** MATIC -> POL (exchange will be carried out 1:1 in a 4-year window) The Supernets will need to stake POL, this shows an expansion of monetary policy leading to more usability for the token and stimulating the TVL growth. Does it remind you of something? Maybe a protocol with Parachains system? Anyway, that's a topic for another thread, lets keep grinding... Inflation of 2%/year for 10 years: 1%/year to reward validators, making the network more sustainable and competitive in the long term. 1%/year for ecosystem support, encouraging developers to build new products on the Polygon network and stimulating innovation. Note: After a period of 10 years the % may be reduced, this decision will be made by the community through the governance system. 🏦 **3 pillars of Governance:** Protocol Governance: Increasingly community-driven, it was previously more concentrated in the hands of Polygon Labs. Smart Contracts System: Facilitates the upgrades of protocol components that are implemented as smart contracts. Community Treasury: Fund managed by the community through a quadratic voting system, eliminating the possibility of a person with a large number of tokens controlling decisions. __________ 🪂 **What about Airdrop?** Given these updates and knowing that the MATIC token is already widely distributed, reaching the limit of the total supply, we can think that an airdrop will not be carried out, but this would take Polygon out of the game in the face of the dispute between rollups that have very competitive products. We believe there will be a more robust first airdrop through the Community Treasury in Q1 after launch, and new seasons in the future through the scheduled 1%/year inflation to Ecosystem Support, which will be managed by the community. 🤔 **What can we do?** We studied the zkEVM ecosystem and found some interactions that we can explore, but don't limit yourself to the zkEVM network, explore and be a real user of the Polygon PoS ecosystem too. Let's go! ⭐ zkEVM Native Bridge - https://wallet.polygon.technology/zkEVM/bridge (2,56) *> Select “Native Bridge”* *> Connect your wallet* *> Select “Polygon zkEVM” on the top of the screen* *> Put the amount and “Bridge”* Time: ~15min Third-Party bridges: ⭐ https://www.layerswap.io/app ⭐ https://www.orbiter.finance/ ⭐ https://app.xy.finance/ **🚨 Attention:** Do not interact with significant values, zkEVM does not have much liquidity yet, this means that there may be an impact on prices.

📢 **MEGA THREAD - LAYER ZERO** Are you ready to start the best route through Layer Zero ecosystem ? In this thread you will find: 🧠 **Layer Zero** technology 🔎 **How it works** and **why** **it’s so importante** ? 🪂 **CUBEFI** airdrop route 🎁 A special **GIFT** to you /////////////////////////////////// 🧠 **Layer Zero tech.** LayerZero is the first** omnichain interoperability protocol that provides a powerful, low level communication primitive upon which a diverse set of cross-chain applications can be built. 🔎 **How it works ?** To understand how L0 works, we first need to know today’s tradicional cross-chain system. A centralized exchange requires users to deposit their tokens with a central trusted authority, which then keeps track of that deposit off-chain and grants coins on other chains as the user requests them. A typical decentralized exchange works by using a smart contract to facilitate the automatic minting of coins on chain B, this transaction involve an intermediate token and intermediate chain, and only mints an intermediary or wrapped token on chain B. LayerZero is** able to initiate a single cross-chain transaction on chain A** and notifies the application on chain B, this exchange protocol is handled by smart contracts on either side of the cross-chain transaction, with L0 delivering messages between the two. This application enables a clean and minimal single-transaction swap that does not include any intermediate tokens. 🔎 **Why it’s so importante ?** **** The proliferation of blockchains has given developers a variety of platforms on which to run their smart contracts based on application features and requirements for throughput, security, and cost. However, a consequence of this freedom is severe fragmentation; Each chain is isolated, forcing users to silo their liquidity and limiting options to move liquidity and state between walled ecosystems. LayerZero is the first system to trustlessly enable direct transactions across all chains. Allowing transactions to flow freely between chains provides opportunities for users to consolidate fragmented pockets of liquidity while also making full use of applications on separate chains. /////////////////////////////////// 🪂 **AIRDROP ROUTE** Advice: You don't need to do everything at once, it's ok to take a few steps a day.

📢 **MEGA AIRDROP THREAD** **>>> STARKNET <<<** In this thread you will find: 🧠 **Starknet** summary and main **innovations** 🔎 Key differences between **ZK Stark** vs **ZK Snark** 🪙 **STRK** tokenomics 🪂 Exclusive **CUBEFI** airdrop route /////////////////////////////////// 🧠 **What is Starknet ?** **StarkNet** is a layer 2 built on top of Ethereum, best described as a Validity rollup or ZK rollup and uses a different type of validation proof, the ZK Stark instead of ZK Snark. Unlike other ZK rollups StarkNet isn’t a zkEVM, this means smart contracts must be written in StarkNet’s own programming language - Cairo. However, Cairo VM allows to innovate beyond the Ethereum VM. Main innovations: · **Account Abstraction** - Implemented at the protocol level, this facilitates diverse signing schemes while ensuring user security and self-custody of assets. A big deal to cryptography mentioned by Vitalik - https://medium.com/infinitism/erc-4337-account-abstraction-without-ethereum-protocol-changes-d75c9d94dc4a · **Volition** - Gives developers the control to manage data availability on Ethereum (L1) or Starknet (L2), leading to lower costs. · **Paymaster** - Supports gasless transactions, enhancing user accessibility. · **ZK Stark** - Zero knowledge protocol based on lean cryptographic mechanisms for better security and scalability. 🔎 **ZK Stark vs ZK Snark** **** **Full-Form** ZK-SNARKs: Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge ZK-STARKs: Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge **** **Definition** ZK-SNARKs: Zero-knowledge protocol based on elliptic curves for their cryptographic function for improved security and confidentiality. ZK-STARKs: Zero knowledge protocol based on lean cryptographic mechanisms for better security and scalability. **Transparency** ZK-SNARKs: Initial trusted phase requires users to trust parties setting up the first phase of ZK-SNARK systems. ZK-STARKs: No requirement for setting up an external trusted initial phase. **Scalability** ZK-SNARKs: Present some issues for scalability like arithmetic complexity, communication complexity, prover and verifier complexity. ZK-STARKs: Reduces the algebraic representations and related computation tasks. **Security** ZK-SNARKs: Use public-private key pairs for encryption, which may be vulnerable to quantum attacks. ZK-STARKs: Offer security against quantum attacks with collision-resistant hash functions, Merkle trees and a random oracle model. 🪙 **TOKENOMICS** In an article published by StarkWare, developer of the Starknet chain, the distribution architecture of the **$STRK** token was disclosed and it caught our attention that **8%** of the total supply was highlighted as "Unallocated" and this could mean that it will be used for **Airdrop**.

Socket is not a bridge, or a cross-chain app, it`s an infrastructure that allows developers to build these things easily, it means they can use Socket to build apps with interoperability as a core part of app infrastructure. **Some top apps that use Socket technology:** ⭐ Bungee Exchange ⭐ Zerion ⭐ SlingShot ⭐ Zapper ⭐ Rubicon ⭐ Layer3 /////////////////////////////////// **AIRDROP ROUTE** **ATTENTION:** *If you need to send tokens from Ethereum, Arbitrum or Avalanche to start this journey, do not use Circle CCTP route with native USDC under any circumstances, this token has no liquidity, if you do that, the only way to swap back again is through Rubicon Finance and cross-chain swapping for ETH on Ethereum network.* Let's GO ! 🚀 **Bungee Exchange** - https://www.bungee.exchange/ > Select Optimism USDCe (Source Chain) > Polygon USDC (Destination Chain) > Expand route - Select “Hyphen” > Aprove USDCe > Bridge ⏱️ Time: ~2 min **Zerion** - https://app.zerion.io/bridge > Select Polygon USDC (Source Chain) > Optimism USDC (Destination Chain) > Expand route - Select “Across” > Aprove USDC > Bridge ⏱️Time: ~3 min **SlingShot** - https://app.slingshot.finance/bridge > Select Optimism USDC (Source Chain) > Polygon USDC (Destination Chain) > Aprove USDC > Bridge ⏱️Time: ~5 min **Zapper** - https://zapper.xyz/bridge > Select Polygon USDC (Source Chain) > Optimism USDC (Destination Chain) > Aprove USDC > Bridge ⏱️ Time: ~8 min **Rubicon** - https://app.rubicon.finance/bridge > Select Optimism USDCe (Source Chain) > Polygon USDC (Destination Chain) > Aprove USDC > Bridge ⏱️ Time: ~3 min **Layer3** - https://layer3.xyz/bridge > Select Polygon USDC (Source Chain) > Optimism **ETH** (Destination Chain) > Expand route - Select “Hop” > Aprove USDC > Bridge ⏱️ Time: ~10 min **⛽ BONUS:** You can claim OP rewards (gas refund) here https://socketscan.io/rewards /////////////////////////////////// 🎉 **Congratulations** 🎉 Thank you for joining us and feel free to **collect** 📥, **comment** 💬, **share** with your friends 🔁 or just **like** 💟 this post.

**>>> ZKSYNC <<<** 📢 **MEGA AIRDROP THREAD** **ZkSync** is a rollup of the Zero Knowledge family developed by Matter Labs, they raised almost $460 million in funding, so get ready for something really big. There are two networks on its platform, zkSync Lite**** and zkSync Era. 🧠 What is a **ZK Rollup** 🔎 Difference between zkSync **ERA** and **LITE** 🪙 Path to decentralization - **ZK Credo** 🪂 Exclusive **CUBEFI** airdrop route /////////////////////////////////// **Understand what a ZK rollup is.** ZK rollups are a development intended to increase the scalability of Ethereum by performing off-chain calculations, rolling many transactions up into a single batch, and sending it to Ethereum chain in a single action. Instead of submitting each transaction separately, rollup submit a summary of the required changes to represent all transactions in a batch, it's like zipping heavy files into a folder and sending them for final approval (L1), and thus came the expression "Zipped by Kryptography". **What is the difference between Era and Lite?** zkSync Lite (1.0) is a trustless protocol for scalable low-cost payments on Ethereum, the main product is zkSync Checkout, where it is possible to send and receive crypto payments with ease and low cost of gas fee. ZkSync Era (2.0) supports generalized EVM compatibility for Ethereum blockchain, this means that most dapps deployed on Ethereum can be deployed on Era easily. **Path to Decentralization.** Recently Matter Labs released the ZK Credo, a manifesto for a decentralized future, in this document they share their opinion on the principles for a truly decentralized and democratic ecosystem. Full article: https://github.com/zksync/credo/blob/main/README.md /////////////////////////////////// **AIRDROP ROUTE** As zkSync has two networks, Lite and Era, we`ll send funds to both (50%/50%) and explore their resources. As usual, we start with the official bridges. Remember that, although the transaction is more expensive and slower, using official bridges is the most genuine way of interacting with the network, so do it at least once. **zkSync Lite** - https://lite.zksync.io/ *> Connect your Ethereum wallet* *> Click “+ Top up”* *> Scroll down and choose “zkSyn Lite” on bridges section* *> Select ETH and put the amount* *> Hit “Top up” and confirm in your wallet* *> Time: ~2 minutes* Let's perform some transactions. **Zig Zag** - https://trade.zigzag.exchange/ *> Set up your wallet on the Ethereum network and connect to ZigZag* *> As the ZZ token has already been launched, we will only do “Market” orders* *> Exchange ETH -> USDC / USDT / DAI / WBTC* *> Perform at least 10 tnx and finish with the entire amount in $ETH* If you need to withdraw from Lite, we have 3 good options: Withdraw to Ethereum: **Zig Zag Bridge** - https://trade.zigzag.exchange/bridge Withdraw to zkSync Era or another L2: **LayerSwap** - https://www.layerswap.io/app **Orbiter** - https://www.orbiter.finance/ **💎** *We have a bonus task that few people know at the end of this thread, so leave at least $3 in ETH on the zkSync Lite network.* **💎** Let's do the same thing with zkSync Era **zkSync Era** - https://portal.zksync.io/bridge/ *> Connect wallet* *> Choose “Deposit” from Ethereum* *> Enter the amount and click “Continue”* *> Click on “Add funds to zkSync Era Mainnet” and confirm in your wallet* *> Time: ~20 minutes* /////////////////////////////////// Now the fun begins, come with me 😎 zkSync Era has the **Gas Refund** feature which returns an average of 60% of the gas fee spent, excluding token approvals. Let's start with the **DEX`s**: **Maverick** - https://app.mav.xyz/ *> Swap ETH -> BUSD (cBUSD)* **ODOS** - https://app.odos.xyz/ *> Swap BUSD -> WETH* **iZiSwap** - https://izumi.finance/trade/swap *> Swap WETH -> USDC* **Mute.io** - https://app.mute.io/swap *> Swap USDC -> ETH* **eZKalibur** - https://dapp.ezkalibur.com/ *> Swap ETH -> USDT* **SpaceFi** - https://swap-zksync.spacefi.io/#/swap *> Swap USDT -> BUSD (ceBUSD)* **veSync** - https://app.vesync.finance/swap *> Swap BUSD -> ETH* **SyncSwap** - https://syncswap.xyz/swap *> Swap a very small amount ($3): ETH -> zkUSD* *> Swap ETH -> USDC* **Goal3** - https://beta.goal3.xyz/ *> Place 2 bets with your zkUSD (null each), choose the sport, choose the team or fighter, change bet amount field to 1 zkUSD (+ app fee = 0.50 zkUSD)* *> Remember to check the result afterward* **Starmaker** - https://starmaker.exchange/ *> Swap USDC -> ETH* We close our cycle with DEX`s 🫡 /////////////////////////////////// Now let's explore **NFT`s**: The first **NFT** that we are going to mint is the **ZK Credo**, so we can prove that we are aligned with the principles of zkSync and prepared to be part of this story. **Omnisea –** https://omnisea.org/bY6YDlAybsPzys1pBqVo *> Connect wallet and set up on zkSync Era* *> 1 NFT per wallet* *> Mint* The next step is to mint a .zkSync or .zk domain, you can mint both if you like, but it's not necessary. **ZNS domains (.zkSync)** - https://zns.is/ *> Connect wallet* *> Enter a domain with more than 5 letters, so the cost will be as low as possible, click “Search”* *> Check if is available and click on “Register”* *> Cost: ~$3.77 + gas fee* **ZKNS Domains (.zk)** - https://app.zkns.domains/ *> Connect wallet* *> Enter a domain with more than 5 letters, click “Search”* *> Click on the domain that should be underlined* *> Choose 1 year in “Registration Period”* *> Scroll down and click on “Request to Register”* *> Cost: ~$5.00 + gas fee* **Nomis (wallet score)** – https://nomis.cc/zksync?ref=4cH5wvmIFb Note: This is a referral link, if you want to access directly through the website use the link below. *> Connect wallet* *> Sign the CAPTCHA “I`m not a robot”* *> Click “Get Score” and sign in your wallet, wait for score to be calculated* *> Mint* *> Cost: ~$10.00 + gas fee* > Site: https://nomis.cc/zksync **What is it for?** Nomis reputation scores can be used to deliver personalized web3 experiences such as exclusive access, personalized terms and rates, and eligibility for rewards. This dapp calculates the score according to interaction on the zkSync Era network. Tip 😉: The criteria that gives the most points is the balance of ETH on Era network. /////////////////////////////////// 💎 BONUS 💎 **zkSync Lite CHECKOUT** This is a feature that few people know about, it allows to generate crypto payments quickly, cheaply and securely, very useful for those who manage communities, raise funds for charity or paying for third party services/products.

📢 **"Swift says interoperability experiment with Chainlink’s CCIP was successful"** Let me explain why this news is bullish. In this thread you will find: 🔸 What is @chainlink ? 🔸 What does the CCIP protocol mean ? 🔸 What is SWIFT ? 🔸 Why this partnership is important ? //////////////////////////////// ⛓️ **About Chainlink:** Chainlink is an Oracle network that enables smart contracts to communicate securely with real-world data and off-chain services, such as price feeds or Proof of Reserves (Fiat x Stablecoins). 🤔 **What the hell is CCIP?** Chainlink's CCIP is exactly what the name says “Cross Chain Interoperability Protocol”. You must be thinking: - Ok, but there is nothing new about this, there are already great cross chain solutions to move tokens between chains. Now imagine if it were possible to build a dapp that takes advantage of the best features of different chains, like the security of a L1 (Ethereum) and the speed and scalability of a L2 by merging the smart contracts, yes my friend, we`ll see a new generation of super hybrids dapps. **🌐 What is SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication)?** The name is also very intuitive, it`s a message network used by financial institutions to quickly, accurately and securely send and receive information, such as money transfer instructions. //////////////////////////////// 🧠 Now let's connect the dots, we have Chainlink with their super innovation, the CCIP, and SWIFT experimenting with this technology to implement the interoperability of 🪙 CBDC`s. 💡 I know that many crypto natives, like me, don't like the idea of Fiat currencies invading the crypto environment with CBDC`s, but we have to see the opportunity, the LINK token will gain great demand if this partnership consolidates. But not everything is flowers, this experiment is the first stage of a long journey of tests and more tests, we have a long way to go to become a true partnership, in addition, the LINK tokenomics is still not very attractive, the lack of utilities reflects low buyer demand.

📢 **MEGA AIRDROP THREAD** In our first thread on Lenster we are going to explore the **LINEA NETWORK.** 🔎 Protocol analysis 🪙 Native token probability 🪂 Possibility of a large Airdrop 🧠 **CUBEFI** exclusive route /////////////////////////////////// **About Linea** Linea is a layer 2 zkEVM developed by Consensys to scale the Ethereum network, the full compatibility with EVM allows the deployment of existing dapps and the creation of new ones, which would be very expensive through Mainnet L1, it also allows developers to move their dapp to any other EVM supported chain without having to rewrite smart contracts, retooling or paying for new audits. In addition to the Linea Network, Consensys is the founder of Metamask and Infura. **Linea Token** Currently, the Linea network uses ETH as its main token, but we found strong indications in the docs about launching a token in the future, the decentralization roadmap leads us to believe that this could happen in the second stage of phase 3, where decentralization of governance by promoting a democratic and transparent system, the future of the network will be driven by the community, and this is only possible through a governance token - **$LINEA**. /////////////////////////////////// **AIRDROP** **Linea Voyage** A 9-week odyssey was released on May 2nd for users to get to know the ecosystem, help find flaws or weaknesses in the network through a stress test and prepare it for the Mainnet launch. Participants accumulated points and were awarded with a commemorative NFT at the end of the journey as proof of their contribution. Considerations: If you missed this activity or didn't get a good score, don't worry, in my opinion the main eligibility criteria for a possible airdrop are most important interacting on the Mainnet, this is what generates revenue and values the network through the gas fees, we are still too early. Testnet Data: *+ 30 million Transactions* *+ 5 million wallets* *+ 50 partners (dapps)* **Mainnet Alpha v.0.2.0** The Mainnet was recently launched on July 18th and on the first day we can observe a massive integration of the community, this phase marks the beginning of the roadmap towards decentralization, the focus of the team is to monitor the system and adopt protective measures in case something happens. Linea's team has established a Security Council to respond to pressing issues as they seek improvements towards full decentralization of the network. Linea Explorer: https://lineascan.build/ Linea Health Status: https://linea.statuspage.io/ **How to position yourself for the AIRDROP?** We arrived at the most important part of this post, I created an exclusive route for you to interact with the network without having to worry about issues such as slippage, price impact or malicious contracts, I analyzed all the processes carefully, scanned the contracts and created a safe step by step guide to qualify for a possible airdrop of the **$LINEA** token. Feel free to ask questions and share your suggestions, have fun ! /////////////////////////////////// **AIRDROP ROUTE 💰** Let's start by sending funds to the Linea network. Normally I would say to use the official bridge, but as we are too early it is preferable to use third-party services, Linea's team is focused on other issues and building bridges is not a priority at the moment, for this reason the contract may contain vulnerabilities, time to complete the transaction is higher and in addition it is only possible to send funds from the Ethereum, where gas fees are more expensive. If you want to carry out this transaction send a small amount just to interact with the contract. **Linea Official Bridge**: https://bridge.linea.build/ *Choose the option “Automatic Claiming”* Time: ~30 minutes To send larger amounts there are 3 options specialized in moving tokens between chains: **1. Stargate Finance**: https://stargate.finance/transfer *Interaction with LayerZero (without token yet)* Time: ~5 minutes **2. Orbiter Finance**: https://orbiter.finance/ *Sent to the smart contract address and refinanced to the user's wallet minus the bridging fee.* Time: ~3 minutes **3. LayerSwap**: https://layerswap.io/app *Same process as Orbiter* Time: ~3 minutes > This part has no secret: connect your wallet, choose the source chain (I prefer Optimism or Arbitrum because they are cheaper and faster), choose Linea as destination chain. Now that we have funds in the Linea network we can explore the ecosystem, follow me: **PancakeSwap:** https://pancakeswap.finance/swap *> Make sure you are on the Linea network in your wallet* *> Connect wallet, select “trade” and then “swap”* > Swap **ETH -> USDC** **Woofi:** https://fi.woo.org/swap/ > Swap all **USDC -> ETH** **Velocore:** https://linea.velocore.xyz/swap > Swap **ETH -> USDT** **DefiLlama:** https://swap.defillama.com/ > Swap all **USDT -> ETH** (select the aggregator KyberSwap) **Open Ocean:** https://app.openocean.finance/ > Swap **ETH -> BUSD** **SyncSwap:** https://syncswap.xyz/swap > Swap **BUSD -> ETH** Ok, last one… **MES Protocol:** https://app.mesprotocol.com/ *> Connect wallet, scroll down, in the right corner select “Deposit/Withdraw Tokens”* *> Deposit **ETH,** select “Trade", and then "Spot Trading”* *>> Trade **ETH <--> USDC*** *> First execute a Market Sell Order (50% of the value), now play as you like, execute Buy and Sell / Limit and Market orders, finish with the entire balance in ETH.* *>> Scroll down and select “Deposit/Withdraw Tokens”, select “Withdraw” - "Linea Balance Only" - "Max" amount - Sign into wallet - Go to "Transfer Records" and confirm withdrawal.* 🗝️ Now we can wrap up our first cycle of Linea interactions by minting a domain ! 🗝️ **Linea Domains:** https://app.lineans.domains/ *> Connect wallet* *> Choose your domain, press “search” and check if it is available* *> If it is available click on domain name, that should be underlined* *> Choose registration period (1 year is enough = **$5.50**)* *>> Press “Request to Register with ETH” and approve the transaction in your wallet* ////////////////////////////////// 🎉🎉 Congratulations 🎉🎉 We completed our route and significantly increased our chance of receiving an airdrop. Remember that the routes are important from time to time, after completing them for the first time we can interact normally with the network performing sporadic transactions, 2 or 3 interactions per week or every 15 days is enough to keep well positioned. Total Gas Fee: ~$5.50 Mint Domain: $5.50
