- I just voted "Continue bootstrapping" on "YIP#12 Continued Y2K bootstrapping" https://snapshot.org/#/y2k-finance.eth/proposal/0x90e8c548a734225b97c43648237ec25a4e2d36bf3395b38bf1048b7ba21d3aa7 #Snapshot
- 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.

- ARB distribution model was designed by Nansen 🔵 🦅
+2,300,000 addresses bridged to Arbitrum before the snapshot.
Online 625,143 were eligible for ARB. Only around 30%!
What can we learn from their report?
5 key take-aways so you don't get excluded from airdrops ⚡
1/5
Eligibility Criteria:
- Conducted transactions: number, value, and time thresholds
- Arbitrum Nova: bridging & conducted transactions
- Dapps and Governance activity
- Liquidity providing
💡 Take-away: the more different activities, the better. Be active!
2/5
USD Value. I know this is a given, but it's important to stress out.
• The majority of wallets transact on small USD amounts
• The majority of wallets got small airdrops (USD value terms)
💡 Take-away: more volume = bigger airdrop. But you didn't need to be a whale to get it!
3/5
The number of transactions
• The majority of the wallets made 1-2 transactions (1M+ wallets)
• Only 100k wallets made 50-100 transactions
Median = 3
Average = 28
💡 Take-away: more transactions = more valuable airdrop.
Become a recurring user.
4/5
Sybil wallets:
• The Arbitrum Foundation wanted to exclude sybil wallets from getting the $ARB airdrop
• Sybil wallets = wallets with similar/fake activity, with the pure intention of hunting for an airdrop
• 172k wallets excluded
💡 Take-away: be user, not a "hunter"
5/5
Negative criteria ⚠️
This is a new concept: some actions subtracted points, i.e. they hurt the user's individual points to get ARB.
These users got less ARB:
• All transactions in a 48h period
• Interacted with only 1 smart contract
• Low ETH balance in Snapshot day
There's a lot more data in their official report.
