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 ⚡️

"In the medium to long term, ZK rollups will win out in all use cases as ZK-SNARK technology improves". — @VitalikButerin 5/9 What @Scroll_ZKP brings to the table: another solution that aims to scale the Ethereum blockchain, using zero-knowledge technology. How are they different from other ZK solutions? • Scroll supports stuff built on EVM • StarkNet uses an own virtual machine 6/9 Scroll features: • 10+ DApps already deployed • PreAlpha testnet launched • TPS: with no data sharding, 1000-2000 • Open source 7/9 Scroll Airdrop for early users? 🪂 No airdrop was confirmed so far.

Airdrop Strategy #43: Celestia 👨‍💻 Celestia is a modular blockchain, currently in testnet. 55M in funding. Token confirmed. Airdrop not confirmed. How to run a node 🧵 1/8 What is Celestia? • A modular blockchain, allowing anyone to easily deploy their own zero-knowledge & optimistic roll-up blockchain. • $55M raised from Jump Crypto, FTX Ventures, and Balaji • Currently in Testnet, called "Mamaki Testnet" 2/8 How does the consensus mechanism work in Celestia? • To make sure a block is fully valid, nodes download and process all transactions in a single block • Processing operations requires a high capacity of nodes, meaning the network can scale only when new nodes join 3/8 Token 🧙‍♂️ Celestia will have a native token for its network (it does NOT exist right now). Please, be careful of scams Utility: pay for gas fees & secure the PoS network Airdrop? 🪂 Not confirmed. All is speculation at this point. 4/8 What can you do right now on the Celestia network? • Participate in their Mamaki Testnet • 💡 Run your node (it can be a "validator" node or a "consensus" node) • Build with developer beta 5/8 Interestingly, in their roadmap we can find "2023 Incentivized Testnet". (Mainnet launch: 2023) So it seems that for now there is *no* explicit incentive to be a node and validator, at least until they announce it. If we were still interested to try and set up a node... 👇 6/8 How to run a node? • All the details are described here: http://docs.celestia.org/nodes/overview • If you need the support while setting up the node, jump on discord & ask your questions 💡 Aptos gave 150 $APT for node validators. I wrote about it here: 7/8 How to get test tokens? • Enter http://aviaone.com/celestia-connect-wallet-keplr-testnet-mamaki.html/ & approve on Keplr wallet • Join the discord server: http://discord.com/invite/YsnTPcSfWQ • Write $request + your wallet address on # mamaki-faucet channel You can track all the transactions here: http://testnet.mintscan.io/celestia-testnet 8/8 Please don't abuse the system, it will not help yourself in the end.
