A-Thread
https://twitter.com/AlphaInsiders/status/1671104113608736774
#AlphaInsiders🕵️⚡️🧵
- Here is an updated airdrop strategy guide covering both Layerzero and zkSync.
I have structured this thread in two parts and it covers 3 main dapps on each platform.
So by trying out these total 6 dapps, you will be prepared enough for the $ZRO and $ZKS airdrops.
A thread🧵
Index:
🔮 Why I think there is still time. [Tweet 1-2]
♾️ LayerZero Airdrop Strategy. [Tweet 3-6]
🔛 zkSync Strategy. [Tweet 7-10]
Airdrop eligibility is mostly influenced by transaction count, amount, and duration, so the number of Dapps you try is not the key factor.
1/10
Why do I think there is still time?
• Snapshot for these airdrops was done roughly 30 days before the announcement:
- Arbitrum (38 days)
- Optimism (32 days)
• According to Matter Labs CEO, zkSync's $ZKS token will launch in approx 1 year.
• Also, $ZRO launch is confirmed.
2/10
Before we start,note that most of this is speculation and nothing is 100% confirmed. So try at your own risk.
I have divided the thread into easy-to-understand step-wise modules.
Each strategy covers the 3 main dapps.
So... LFG 🚀
3/10
♾️ LayerZero Airdrop Strategy.
- It's a messaging protocol that helps in passing messages or data across different chains.
- The main products built using this tech are bridges.
Let's try the dapps.
4/10
1. Use Stargate.
‣ Transfer from one EVM chain to other.
‣ I prefer swapping between BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon. (low fees)
‣ You can try the stake feature and stake some $STG (Optional IMO, as the main product is bridge).
🔗 Link: https://stargate.finance/transfer
5/10
2. Use Aptos Bridge.
‣ Use the transfer feature.
‣ Transfer assets(USDC, USDT) between APTOS and other EVM chains.
‣ I prefer Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism and BNB due to low gas fee.
🔗 Link: https://theaptosbridge.com/bridge
6/10
3. Buying some $GETH on testnet bridge.
‣ Use the bridge.
‣ Buy some goerli ETH using ETH.
‣ I prefer Arbitrum & Optimism due to low gas fee.
🔗 Link: https://testnetbridge.com/
7/10
🔛 zkSync Airdrop Strategy.
- Zksync is a ZK layer 2 rollup, whereas optimism and arbitrum are optimistic layer 2 rollups.
- The average past day TPS on zkSync has reached 11+, surpassing arbitrum and optimism.
- In this strategy I will focus mainly on the ERA version as I think it makes no sense to try lite as of now.
Let's jump on to the dapps...
8/10
1. Use the main bridge.
‣ Bridge to zkSync ERA.
‣ The only chain available as of now is ethereum.
‣ So the gas fee will be high.
🔗 Link: https://bridge.zksync.io/
9/10
2. Using Orbiter Finance.
‣ Now by using this dapp, we can also target the orbiter token which is confirmed and yet to launch.
‣ So, use the bridge to move assets to zkSync era.
‣ I prefer arbitrum and optimism as the gas fee for bridging is very low on both.
🔗 Link: https://www.orbiter.finance/
10/10
3. Swapping on Syncswap.
‣ They also have a confirmed $SYNC native token, which is yet to be launched.
‣ Swap using the dex dapp.
‣ You can also add liquidity in the pools, which is should be taken as optional IMO.
🔗 Link: https://syncswap.xyz/

- "Crypto" means different things to different people.
The public figures who stake their identity on being against it have a completely different view of it than the people building in crypto during this bear market.
Detractors see crypto as a threat to everyday citizens and consumers.
But what if crypto is or at least has the potential to be exactly the opposite of what these detractors believe? 🤔
For us, being "pro-crypto" means being pro...

- a16z Selects Bello for Spring 2023's Crypto Startup School
At Bello, our goal is to make the complex world of blockchain data accessible and user-friendly for creators. We believe that with our no-code approach and intuitive dashboards, we can provide creators with the insights they need to grow their communities, reach their collectors, and ultimately, succeed in their crypto journey.
Our lofty ambitions to build something bigger than ourselves have given us the energy to navigate the current state of the bear market. But if we want to succeed in our mission of simplifying crypto data for creators, then we’ll need the best team, resources, and network to make it a reality.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been accepted into the spring 2023 cohort of a16z's Crypto Startup School!
When we first started the general idea of Bello at ETH Amsterdam's Hackathon in April 2022, we never could have imagined that we would be where we are now. The energy and excitement we experienced during that 48-hour hackathon only make us more eager to see what 12 weeks at a16z's Crypto Startup School will bring.
About a16z’s Crypto Startup School
So, what exactly is a16z's Crypto Startup School? It's a full accelerator program that helps builders launch new web3 projects. Over the course of 12 weeks, participants receive funding, hands-on mentorship from successful founders, and the opportunity to work with domain experts on crucial topics such as protocol design, go-to-market strategy, and legal and regulatory issues.
Teams will also have the chance to build their product alongside fellow founders and the broader a16z network, providing a supportive community to help them succeed. The program will culminate in a Demo Day where teams present their product to the web3 community.
For us, being a part of Crypto Startup School is more than just an opportunity to receive key resources and mentorship. It's a chance to be surrounded by other like-minded builders, learn from the best, and strengthen relationships within the crypto community.
The right environment can be contagious, permeating deep into the foundation of a project's longevity. And as an early-stage startup, our roots are still growing, and sometimes a little vitality can help them to spur.
We’re hopeful the energy of the program will help us reach new heights and we're excited to see what the next three months have in store for us.
You can follow our journey by following our Lens where we’ll be sharing updates and progress throughout CSS.
