- PREPARING FOR $STRK 🐺
Time sensitive post, 8 hours left ⏰
@argentHQ wallet is doing a "Xplorer Campaign" - something similar to the Arbitrum Odyssey that got the $ARB airdrop to many users.
There are 8 NFTs to collect. Deadline for the 1st is today
Airdrop Strategy 🪂:
1/xx
Similar to Arbitrum Odyssey, Argent is:
• Launching one campaign per week
• Rewarding 1 NFT per week after each campaign
• Helping users get to know the Starknet ecosystem
• Helping protocols get discovered
2/9
$STRK: remember that the token has already been confirmed and deployed. Not currently trading:
0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766
There is no information about a retroactive airdrop for Starknet users yet, but there is 8.1% of "Unallocated" supply.
3/9
$STRK: In the other hand, StarkEX users (dYdX, Immutable, etc) are indeed getting an airdrop.
Stay tuned for more news on this front - we will probably get some updates when the token becomes tradable.
4/9
This campaign is a good way to generate organic activity on-chain and to get to know Starknet protocols.
Argent will be giving 8 NFTs for 8 weeks, 1 per week.
First week was until May 9. However, since the network was slow, they extended the deadline to today 23:59 🚨
5/9
WEEK 1
To get the first NFT:
1. Install Argent X extension: 🔗 chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/argent-x/dlcobpjiigpikoobohmabehhmhfoodbb
2. Bridge ETH to Starknet: 🔗 starkgate.starknet.io (or use Orbiter)
3. Make (1) transaction on Starknet Mainnet using Argent X (make a swap @10KSwap, use @Orbiter_Finance, etc)
6/9
WEEK 1
Argent extended the deadline so users can get the first NFT if they interact today.
There's still time - deadline is Thursday 11 May 23:59 UTC.
https://twitter.com/argenthq/status/1656597368316231681
7/9
WEEK 2
Starting yesterday, there is time until May 16 23:59 UTC to also complete week 2.
To get the second NFT:
1. Play the game in: 🔗 starkfighter.xyz
2. Get a .stark domain for free here: 🔗 xplorer.starknet.id
3. Submit your score (tweet required)
8/9
NFTs cannot be minted yet.
They will share a link for users to mint the NFT after the snapshots are taken, so stay tuned.
Once there's news about the mint page, or week 3 tasks, I will update.
These tasks are not capital-intensive, it's a great opportunity to interact.
9/9
🏛️ You can delegate your future $STRK tokens to olimpio.eth in advance: 🔗 https://delegate.starknet.io/profile/olimpio.eth#statement
(ETH Mainnet txn required)
I was chosen to be one of the recipients of the Starknet Foundation's voting power ⚡️
I'll update

- Builders on Twitter, join us for a Space about The Linea Voyage right now!
https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1rmxPkQPjXbJN?s=20
- Interesting points from the developer's perspective, would you see that would be good idea to add more flexibility to the metadata or just expand what it could support across the all apps/integrators of Lens?
What do you also think about the idea is that artists could Bring-Their-Own-Smart-Contracts and allow to post on Lens but mint with let say Manifold smart contract directly on Lens?
- ▓▓▓▓░░ 71%
Arbitrum's $ARB is coming this Thursday 🦅 🔵
77% of my audience got this airdrop. Congrats everyone, BTW ⚡️
26% is holding no matter the price, and 50% is not selling below null.25.
What is the purpose of the ARB token? 🧵👇

There is also an informal OTC market for ARB, I've seen prices from null to null.50 there today. (image attached)
4/11
✅ ABOUT PRICE
Another speculative price point can be found in protocols like PrePO, where people are betting ARB's FDV on $14.4B (one week after token launch), which is around null.50 per token. (image attached)
5/11
✅ ABOUT PRICE
If you want to have some fun, read this price scenario speculation I posted a few days ago. Don't take it too seriously!

9/11

• For emergencies: the Arbitrum Security Council
A 12-person multi-sig that will be able quick action in case of emergency. 9/12 votes needed. This could be used, for example, to patch a vulnerability

• Voting power is determined by the number of $ARB held
• You can delegate your voting power to others (like olimpio.eth 😉🏛️)

Orbit will allow developers to easily and permissionlessly launch their own Layer 3 (L3) blockchain in the Arbitrum ecosystem
• L3s can be launched with no DAO approval

Stay tuned, I will keep you updated

- zkEVM Testnet Guide 🦊
ConsenSys has been whitelisting more users to its testnet.
Here's a step-by-step thread on how to bridge from Goerli to zkEVM, using Hop.
Will zkEVM have a token? 🧵👇
1/10
✅ About zkEVM
• ConsenSys is a private blockchain software technology company, which owns MetaMask, Infura, zkEVM, and several other products
• One of the things they are working on: their own zkEVM rollup, Ethereum scalability using ZK Proofs.
2/10
Recently, Infura endpoints to access ConsenSys zkEVM became available to a closed group of early registrants
To become one of the testers, you should sign up for the waitlist.
(If you signed & didn't get an email, don't forget they are sending beta invitations in batches)
3/10
For those who are whitelisted: how to test the product?
STEP 1: Go to faucetlink.to/goerli & request Goerli ETH
STEP 2: Login into your Infura account app.infura.io/login
STEP 3: Create a new key and select network Web3 API.
4/10
STEP 4: Select the ConsenSys zkEVM Testnet endpoint (screenshot below)
5/10
STEP 5: Go to goerli.zkevm.consensys.net
STEP 6: Add zkEVM Testnet RPC to your MetaMask
STEP 7: Bridge from Goerli to zkEVM using Hop Protocol: goerli.hop.exchange
STEP 8: Test the zkEVM - play around app.dexchange.live
(bridge, swap, provide LP)
6/10
Is there any $INFURA information?
• On the 1st screenshot, the Team said they are "discussing ways to reward those who help test". This does not necessarily means $INFURA, but it means rewards
• On the 2nd screenshot, the Team said that no token will be launched
7/10
Why should we care?
• ConsenSys is a company that owns MetaMask
• Joseph Lubin already confirmed that MetaMask will have a token (check the thread below)
• Infura is actively thinking about rewarding its token holders for the contribution
https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1590425920506318849
8/10
💡 Note:
Getting involved with the community is always a good way to get to know the team and what they are building.
9/10
💡 Activities that you can engage with:
1. Taking an Infura survey that will give you an NFT: https://research.rallyuxr.com/consensys/lp/cle4f709z00vz2zby305x37b2?studyId=cle4f709x00vx2zbyfqpmc7ga
2. Monitor ConsenSys Events. There was a community call 8 days ago: https://www.crowdcast.io/consensys
10/10
💡 Didn't receive their email yet?
The registration for zkEVM private testnet is closed at the moment.
If you missed the registration period, don't worry! The next phase will be a permissionless testnet. We will have more communications on this to come, stay tuned.
