Let's see. I hope to get my shares restored soon. Have been a bit inactive since a long time on Phaver.
Bull run is on. No denying it with gas going bonkers
Let's see which airdrops are coming next. I think we could see Metamask earlier than Layerzero and Zksync. I don't see L2 testnets giving out free airdrops except maybe for node runners
Metamask airdrop soon? Are you ready - swaps, bridges, staking, donation
Participate in sui token sale. Use sui. I guess at some point they will airdrop to Mainnet users
Anon, did you miss or get Arbitrum airdrop? Whether yes or no, you might look to position yourself for season 2. Here's how. Any new airdrop, if and when, will be decided by DAO and DAO consists of all those who received Arbitrum airdrop and among those, the people who held their Arb tokens. Keeping that I have designed the following criteria 1. A. Hold and keep delegated at least 625 ARB or 50% of ARB you received. This can be an important criteria ( Remember Optimism Airdrop 1. B. If you bought ARB, remember to delegate them. 2. Keep grinding - Expect a portion of fees ( like OP). Maybe use protocols that have received Arbitrum tokens and might distribute in the future. 3. Use both One and Nova, and maybe if any new chains popup. Maybe I will add here if there are other activities that I think might be useful
Zksync Era airdrop is incoming. Make an effort to use the Mainnet and various protocols and bridges
Welcome all. Many of you would have received the Arbitrum Airdrop if you had followed my guides. I am working towards a more sustained way of carrying out these airdrop threads. Possibly I will turn into an aggregator and share threads from others that are really worth it.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
**Layer3 Quests** In my journey in crypto, I have always prioritized learning over earning. Learning web3 and defi is hard, but there is a lot of effort put in by different teams to make it fun and engaging. The best amongst them all is Layer3. While some analysts have shared that Layer3 FAQ suggests a token coming in, I disagree about it. However, it is important to understand that the easiest way for them to earn money in a bull market would be to monetize through a L3 or Layer3 token. I would say just use Layer3 for the sake of learning. Here are some tips to use Layer3 quests. 1. Come with an intention of learning and assume that the transaction fees are your cost of learning. Be ready to lose null-$4 per day for 5-10 transactions 2. Try to form an opinion about the protocols you are using, how they compare with other protocols on other chains. 3. The quests are meant for learning, not for throwing real money, so avoid spending more than $20 unless you know what you are doing. 4. You will still need to keep maybe $30-$50 on a chain, so probably keep $200-$300 ready for various tasks on different chains 5. Some quests expire, others have a limit, so be on the watchout and complete them as early as possible. 6. Most rewarding quests would be ones without a token listed and on a chain that could potentially do an airdrop. I would suggest try to get to Level 11 or higher in 2-3 months to be in top 40K position.
**Rage Trade** already confirmed that they will airdrop at some point, not now though. https://twitter.com/rage_trade/status/1628154553643278337 Something new is coming, maybe more vaults or maybe something else. Keep yourself ready I advised you to be positioned by using their perp. exchange and providing liquidity to their vaults. If you haven't done so, please do it now https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01a8ea-0x04 https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01a8ea-0x03 Remember, Rage Trade trades help in its own token airdrop, Arbitrum and LayerZero
**Lens Rank - based on postings** - https://profile.lenskit.xyz/ My rank is B+ but I have been active everyday from the day I bought the lens profile. Let's see how this goes 1 month from now
**Day 13** On Day 11, we discussed about Lens Protocol. You can check your @LensProtocol rank or rather grade here on profile.lenskit.xyz Since I started late, I am currently at B+. However, here is how I continue to improve my chances 1) Post relevant content about airdrops 2) Follow likeminded people, like their posts, mirror and collect the good ones 3) Be on the lookout of protocols building using Lens I believe that the score will rise significantly over next 2-3 months You can follow me on Lens protocol here https://lenster.xyz/u/lumin.lens

"Great design looks very simple, but the process of designing it is actually extremely complex."
**Contango Futures Airdrop Thread** Today, I will explore an airdrop opportunity for a new protocol in the Arbitrum ecosystem, **Contango**, which offers futures with an expiry date. This means, no funding, all costs known upfront. @0xShinChannn has written an excellent thread on them - https://twitter.com/0xShinChannn/status/1627333455506976770 The protocol has only north of 500 users, so airdrop if it happens could be good. However, I do want to mention that opening a position requires a decent $ position, not sure how it was calculated, but it was like $322 or something like that. If you don't have a lot $100+ to lose (3.5x), best to skip this one. Else you can try for this onw. As usual, try to swap a few times, maybe make up $1500+ of volume over 4-5 weeks and be active on their Discord.
Day 11 We will explore the Lens Protocol ecosystem today. We will explore what lens protocol is, how to acquire a lens profile and what you can do about it. I have never been more excited about anything since a long time. **Day 11** We will explore the Lens Protocol ecosystem today. We will explore what lens protocol is, how to acquire a lens profile and what you can do about it. I have never been more excited about anything since a long time. Right now, about 111K profiles have been minted and more get whitelisted every few weeks. You can buy a lens handle on Opensea https://opensea.io/collection/lens-protocol-profiles with. However, you won't be able to choose a custom handle and there is a risk that the floor price might drop if lensprotocol makes it free to create new handles. If you are looking for a free mint, the best way is to use the Phaver app continuously and wait for opportunities to mint. Usually, I never recommend something which costs a lot of money and I am still unsure about the investment right now if you buy at $160, as many have suggested that lens protocol snapshot has already be taken. However, if you already have a lens protocol handle, the following strategy can benefit in the Lens Protocol airdrop or may enable you to qualify for other airdrops too. **1. Wagmi Fund - Collect the posts** https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01a2c8-0x04 and https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x01a2c8-0x08 Also follow https://www.lensfrens.xyz/wagmifund.lens and connect your Discord id using https://guild.xyz/wagmi-fund **2. Support Lensta** Collect https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x019086-0x2d - costs 3 MATIC Download and use Lensta on your phone **3. Lens Protocol PhiLand quests here** https://quest.philand.xyz/campaign/lens-yasai Here is a guide to completing the tasks https://phi-xyz.notion.site/Walkthrough-Guide-for-YASAI-LENS-Festival-6f99640b0b894f6fbb7f9fc42997a999 **4. Early to UFO** - UFO will drop an NFT for first 30K subscribers. Follow them on Lens and keep visiting their page to know when and how to claim NFT https://lenster.xyz/u/ufoclub **5. Use multiple Lens apps** - I expect Lens Protocol to become big, all of the dapps to become big and early adopters could receive huge benefits. Use multiple apps like Lenster, Lensta, Phaver, Orb, Lensdrop, etc. The more you use, the more benefit you may get in an airdrop event **6. Small airdrop to my followers -** As part of the strategy, I airdropped 0.1 MATIC to Lens followers tomorrow. Just follow me on Lens Protocol and Twitter. Remember, I will create a sismo badge once we cross 50 followers on any platform. Follow me to learn about top airdrops
As someone sharing about airdrops, it is important that I reward my early adapters. I airdropped 0.1 MATIC to all my lens Protocol followers using the https://www.lensdrop.xyz/ app. I will share more rewards in the future. So, please keep following me.
#Yasai quests are fun. Let's do them.
Day 10 Today, I will recap my airdrop threads of the last 9 days, so that you can go ahead and implement if you like any. Day 1 thread explains what I set out to do - i.e. to explore apps across Arbitrum, Zksync, LayerZero, Sui and Starknet ecosystems. It also explains how you can go about these tasks https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1623519907903328256 Day 2 and Day 3 threads focused on trading on leveraged trading and providing liquidity in the Arbitrum ecosystem. https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1623894501797539847 https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1624293017057378304 Day 4 thread explores how to go about acquiring some Arbitrum based tokens and how to position ourselves for voting opportunities. https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1624642699306360833 Day 5 thread explores the tasks on Zksync 1.0 mainnet, now renamed Zksync Lite. https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1624981381729382400 Day 6 and 7 threads explore Zksync Era testnet tasks https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1625384791226064898 https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1625745876785446912 Day 8 thread was working towards completing Arbitrum guild tasks https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1626056254761349122 Day 9 thread revolved around sismo_eth. Remember that I will create a sismo_eth batch for my Twitter and Lens followers, so please follow me https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1626486053464080385
Day 9 - We will discuss how @Sismo_eth creates ZK Badges that can be used to implement Zero Knowledge Proofs. Here is a great thread that @OlimpioCrypto wrote about on them. https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1611074402543706113 We don't know what real applications might be, but this could become important in the future. @Sismo_eth team is already working with several known Web3 apps like Proof of Humanity, Lens Protocol, Aztec Protocol, etc. It is not easy to get a ZkBadge, so I am gonna mint one for all my followers on Twitter and Lens Protocol. I know right now it is just a few, but if the followers go above 50, then I will mint 2 ZkBadges - one for my Twitter followers and one for my Lens Protocol followers. Please follow me on Twitter, Lens Protocol and retweet this tweet https://twitter.com/luminlens/status/1626487404424212482
I like this tool sharing my social presence. Absolutely in the middle right now, but expecting to get better 🔥 Unlock your web3 social presence with #TopScore! Stand out from the crowd & explore your self-building potential! 🔗：@knn3_network #Lens #KNN3Network https://topscore.knn3.xyz/nft/0xF7A5215D529a4704AD45878fB6536fD36e2293C8?profileId=108778
**Day 8** On Day 4, we discussed about importance of Snapshot voting and positioned ourselves for 3 token votes - GMX, Stargate and SperaxDao. Out of these 2 of them for voting - Stargate and SperaxDao. Be sure to vote for both quickly as there is not much time left. SperaxDao https://snapshot.org/#/speraxdao.eth/proposal/0xe12f0a813a7eeed63f8b88c60559c90629c583388dd6deb81f7776f7c16b42a2 https://snapshot.org/#/speraxdao.eth/proposal/0x02b1043150b2abc2147bf5c7892559d9d88afa23e5765f799131a29c024ffaf6 Stargate https://snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth/proposal/0x82586192cf58f438cfee7101afde68df11ab3be071a6f7c05d1a3e8506836ee2 Take some time out and **complete Guild On-chain Quests.** Use Metamask or Defillama swaps to buy a small portion of these tokens (Usually $0.1 per token is enough) Complete the guild on-chain quests: https://guild.xyz/arbitrum This will help to be able to vote for more token snapshots like SwapR in the future
**Day 7** Why is it important to be **active on Zksync**? with 66% of tokens committed to community, it is key that we are among at least the top **10% of active traders**. Have a look at https://twitter.com/OrbiterResearch/status/1620364670661197826 The graph by @orbiterresearch shows that if you did 23 transactions on zksync 1.0 mainnet, you would be among the top 10%, and 100 transactions would take you in the Top 0.03%. Aim for 50+ on 1.0, but do at least 22 transactions asap. We don't know when snapshot will be taken. Similarly, we need to be in the top 5-10% of testnet users as well. Today, I am sharing 2 additional protocols to test on zksync testnet - Orbiter Finance and Tavaera **1. Orbiter Finance** - Go to https://rinkeby.orbiter.finance/ and transfer 0.01 ETH from Gorli to Zksync 2.0 Gorli and vice versa **2. Tavaera** started initially as a game and seems to be becoming an entire ecosystem. Read here https://tevaera.medium.com/tevaera-2-0-an-on-chain-gaming-ecosystem-ac32684f80c0 Here is a list of tasks that you can do now https://tevaera.medium.com/tevaera-2-0-user-guide-386e7cc5dc35 Tavaera has a strong partnership with Zksync and is likely to become a premier showcase of Zksync with a possible airdrop of its own. Please complete these tasks a. Mint Tevan ID b. Choose Gaurdian Character c. Buy Karma points d. Play Teva Quest e. Update user name
The Zk narrative is gaining momentum. Today, we will focus on **Zksync 2.0 testnet** tasks that help us improve eligibility for the Zksync airdrop **Transfer ETH to Zkysnc testnet** Step 1 - Add Zksync Testnet to Metamask - https://chainlist.org/?search=zksync+alp&testnets=true Step 2 - Get Tokens from Goerli Faucet - https://goerlifaucet.com - You may have to register an account with Alchemy Step 3 - Transfer Testnet ETH from Goerli to Zksync Goerli - https://portal.zksync.io/bridge Step 4 - Get Testnet Tokens - Go to https://portal.zksync.io/faucet and get testnet DAI, USDC, wBTC and LINK **MUTE app** Step 5 - Make some swaps on https://app.mute.io/ . Remember to buy some MUTE Step 6 - Provide liquidity at https://app.mute.io/pool/ Step 7 - Lock your MUTE for DAO tasks - https://app.mute.io/dao Remember, all tokens of MUTE are in circulation, but being an important dex, we still choose to go ahead with all testnet tasks of MUTE **Nexon Finance** is a decentralized lending protocol on Zksync allowing everyone to lend and borrow crypto assets. An airdrop is possible for testnet users, so let's be ready Step 8 - Go to https://testnet.nexon.finance/ and claim testnet tokens Step 9 - Supply ETH and USDC Step 10 - Borrow DAI Step 11 - Repay DAI Step 12 - Withdraw ETH and USDC Step 13 - Join Nexon Discord and share feedback in their Feedback channel Use these 2 apps every fortnight. I will share how to test other Zksync dapps next week
Day 5 Today, we will work towards ZKSync airdrop. What is zkSync? zkSync is an EVM-compatible ZK Rollup that aims to scale Ethereum. ZK (zero knowledge) Rollups are a layer 2 scaling solution that uses cryptographic validity proofs (SNARKs) to scale computation. Zksync 1.0 has been on mainnet since 1.5 years now, but it is a very basic version, 2.0 will have smart contracts and will be closer to other L2s. Zksync has promised 2/3rds of the token will be available to the community. Zksync users will earn good rewards over long term. Based on the schedule followed by the team, Zksync 2.0 will go live in May or June 2023, which is when I expect the airdrop. There are 2 key set of tasks that can be done to enhance chances of an airdrop. Firstly, we can interact with zksync 1.0 mainnet and next we can interact with testnet. I will show today how you can interact with mainnet. 1. Bridge to zkSync https://wallet.zksync.io - Connect your wallet and bridge funds to zkSync 2. Make trades on Zigzagexchange http://trade.zigzag.exchange Have 4-6 trades every week for next 8 weeks You can swap ETH to USDC and then USDC to DAI and vice versa in 3 days. Zigzag's airdrop is already coming in Feb, it is unlikely that new trades will qualify for this airdrop. 3. Upload NFT to Zksync Sign up to https://www.pinata.cloud/ Upload image, copy CID and mint NFT on https://wallet.zksync.io/transaction/nft/mint Mint 3-4 NFTs over 2 months 4. Gitcoin Grants Go to Gitcoin grants https://gitcoin.co/grants. Select 1-2 grants and donate at least $2. Remember to checkout using zksync. Tomorrow, we will identify more ways to test zksync 2.0 testnet
Day 4 Voting for native protocols could be an airdrop criteria for Arbitrum as it shows ecosystem involvement. Voting is a 3 step process, acquiring tokens, locking them to get voting rights and then voting when there a proposal comes up. Preferably swap at least null for each txn Step 1 a) Buy GMX token Go to https://swap.defillama.com/, swap ETH for GMX b) Go to https://app.gmx.io/#/earn, click on Stake, approve and stake GMX. Stake the GMX, keep at least 0.001 GMX unstaked for Arbitrum guild tasks - will be explained in a later post. Step 2 a) Buy STG token Go to https://portfolio.metamask.io/swap, swap ETH for STG b) Go to https://stargate.finance/stake, and stake your STG for 36 months. Step 3 a) Buy SperaxDao-SPA token Go to https://portfolio.metamask.io/swap, swap ETH for SPA b) Go to https://app.sperax.io/stake, and stake your SPA for 4 years. Keep at least 0.01 SPA unlocked for guild tasks Step 4 a)https://swap.defillama.com/, swap ETH for MAGIC b) Staking is not open right now, but it might happen sometime so watch out here https://twitter.com/Treasure_DAO Step 5 a) Go to snapshot.org, join the following communities https://snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth https://snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth https://snapshot.org/#/speraxdao.eth https://snapshot.org/#/treasuredao.eth Step 6 Keep checking snapshot https://snapshot.org/#/timeline every 3 days, when the above come up for voting, remember to vote.
I will show you how to earn airdrops. Spare 30 mins everyday to earn sizeable value in airdrops. Top 2023 protocol airdrop opportunities 1. Arbitrum 2. Zksync 3. LayerZero 4. Sui 5. Starknet Top 3 App Airdrop Opportunities 1. Metamask 2. Lens Protocol 3. Layer3
Day 3 We continue working towards the Arbitrum aidrop by providing liquidity to a) Vela Exchange b) GMX c) Rage Trade We will position ourself for a few airdrop opportunities while we are at it. Protocols: Arbitrum, LayerZero Apps: Vela Exchange, Rage Trade, Metamask These are all perpetual exchanges. Given the FTX collapse and SEC saga towards CEX, I expect huge increase in onchain derivatives. Hoping for a potential airdrop from some. Remember the risk, provide liquidity for $10-$50 and keep it for 2-3 months or till airdrop is announced. Step 1: GMX - Buy GLP https://app.gmx.io/buy#/buy_glp - Purchase GLP using ETH. Your GLP is staked automatically and you will start earning protocol fees as an APR for your GLP Step 2: Vela Exchange - Mint VLP for Hyper Rewards a. ETH to USDC - https://portfolio.metamask.io/swap - If you don't have $10 USDC b. Mint VLP - https://app.vela.exchange/staking/hyper - Hyper Reward available till 14th Feb. If you are late, you can still Buy and Stake VLP for airdrop chance. Step 3: RageTrade - You can provide liquidity to the Rage Trade Vaults at https://app.rage.trade/vaults/0xa237af5e…. Please note that right now the vaults are at 100%, so check out regularly and provide liquidity in any vault which is not fully filled. You may need USDC for some vaults. You can also follow me on Lens Protocol here https://lenster.xyz/u/lumin
Day 2 Multiple Selfies in one image Today's target protocols, dapps and bridges Protocol - Arbitrum, LayerZero Dapps - Rage Trade, Vela Exchange, Metamask Bridges - LiFi It is apt that we start our Airdrop journey with Arbitrum ecosystem when Optimism has shared its 2nd airdrop. We will deposit funds into Arbitrum, open a perpetual long on Rage Trade and cover it with a short on Vela Exchange. Step 1 - Bridging You can withdraw ETH from CEX to Arbitrum ecosystem or use a bridge aggregator like LiFi (https://transferto.xyz) (No token yet) to transfer ETH to Arbitrum. Arbitrum is still in Beta, so $100 - $300 is fine. Next, add Arbitrum network to wallethttps://chainlist.org/?search=arbitrum Step 2 - Convert ETH to USDC Using Metamask you can swap in your Metamask Wallet by clicking the Swap button, or you could go to https://portfolio.metamask.io/swap search USDC in the Swap to and Swap ETH for USDC. Swap at least 40+ USDC as the next step will require that in the next step. Step 3 - Open a perpetual long on Rage Trade a. Go to https://www.app.rage.trade/trade/0xa237af5e, Deposit half of the above USDC, 20+ USDC (2 txns - first to approve USDC and next to actually deposit USDC) b. Next, open a long on Rage Trade with low leverage 2x. Low leverage means reduced risk of liquidation. Step 4 - Open a corresponding short on Vela Exchange, a. Go to https://app.vela.exchange/ (Non referral link) or https://app.vela.exchange/?refer=C5A2K1VK (My referral link - 50% of benefits net expenses will be shared with community), Connect Account and Sign In. Next go to https://app.vela.exchange/trade, click on Deposit and deposit 20+ USDC, again 2 txns b. Next, open a short with 1-2X leverage and hedge the long position opened in Step 3. This way, you won't have any profit / loss with market movement as the long on @rage_trade is covered with a short on @vela_exchange. You are done. Remember to close the positions together sometime after 24 hours. Note - US residents can't use Rage Trade and Vela Exchange, but they can provide liquidity, which we will cover some other day. Both, Rage Trade and Vela Exchange are self custody derivates exchange, currently in Beta. Please use limited funds only as the exchanges are in beta. Both of them don't have a token, and Vela Exchange has set aside tokens for Beta participants. You can follow the same strategy with reverse positions and trade every week for 4-6 weeks for higher chances of the token airdrop. This will also help us reach our goal of getting 100+ transactions on Arbitrum organically in 5-7 weeks. If you like this post and have a Lens Protocol account, remember to collect it. Funds will be used for providing quality strategies and will be eventually used for additional benefits to collectors
Spare 30 mins everyday to earn sizeable value in airdrops. Top 2023 protocol airdrop opportunities 1. Arbitrum 2. Zksync 3. LayerZero 4. Sui 5. Starknet Top 3 App Airdrop Opportunities 1. Metamask 2. Lens Protocol 3. Layer3 I will post airdrop tasks for new web3 users. Everyday tasks will take ~30 mins and target 1-many of the above opportunities. I will share what we are trying to do, how we are trying to do, first steps and follow up later with more tasks later on. It is important to do these tasks regularly as we will target to reach top 25% of users in protocol / dapp. We will aim to be a real tester / user / evalgelist of protocol while following any specifics to get the airdrops. I will limit our exposure to a single protocol as much as possible as new protocols are risky in nature. Also, remember that airdrops are speculative and dependent on protocol founders / teams. Have fun!! Enjoy beta testing / airdrop hunting.
