zkSync airdrop has emerged as one of the hottest and the most sought-after crypto airdrops of 2024. Users are flocking to the Ethereum L2 to earn points for a potential free share in the zkSync token which is set to release later this year. This article is going to be a comprehensive guide on how to maximize your eligibility chances for free tokens.
As the name suggests, zkSync is a Zero-Knowledge (ZK) roll-up-based layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain. Like other L2s, it is purpose-built to take the transaction load from Ethereum by providing a low-cost and scalable platform for decentralized applications.
In a zkEVM, even though the computations are performed off-chain, the transactions are still proved on the Ethereum blockchain. In this way, zkEVM-based blockchains leverage Ethereum's security while also achieving very high throughput.
While the zkSync team hasn't officially provided any information on the eligibility criteria, thousands of users are still actively transacting on the Ethereum L2 for a potential zkSync airdrop. Considering the criteria for the most recent crypto airdrops, you can maximize your allocation by performing the following transactions on the zkSync blockchain.
The latest data from the TVL-tracking website DeFi Llama indicates that the zkSync ecosystem is currently growing at a very rapid pace. zkSync Era mainnet is the 22nd biggest blockchain with a total locked value (TVL) of $127 million. The most widely used DeFi protocols on the layer 2 network are Syncswap, Mute.io, Velocore, and Maverick Protocol.
After adding the zkSync network to your Metamask wallet by using the following steps, you need to bridge your assets from another blockchain to the zkSync network.
Once you have added the network, you can use the native zkSync bridge (https://portal.txsync.io/bridge/) or Rhino Finance (https://app.rhino.fi/bridge?token=USDC&chainOut=ZKSYNC) to bridge your assets. After successfully transferring your assets, you can perform transactions on the following decentralized applications (Dapps).
As mentioned earlier, Syncswap (https://syncswap.xyz/) and Mute.io (https://defillama.com/protocols/dexes) are currently the most widely used decentralized exchanges on the zkEVM-based chain. You can swap between different cryptocurrencies on these protocols and add liquidity to boost your chances for free zkSync airdrop.
Zero lend (https://defillama.com/protocol/zerolend), ReactorFusion (https://defillama.com/protocol/reactorfusion) and EraLend (https://defillama.com/protocol/eralend) are the most well-known lending protocols on zkSync. You can lend and borrow the supported coins on these dapps to gain transaction volume.
Minting and trading your NFTs on the marketplaces can also increase your rank for the free crypto airdrop of zkSync token. Element Market, OKX NFT Marketplace, Kreatorland and zkMarkets are currently the marketplaces with the most trading volume on zkSync Era mainnet.
Most of the crypto projects reward their early users with free airdrops. Therefore, performing the above tasks on the zkSync blockchain can increase your chances of eligibility. However, it is worth mentioning here that the network has been live for many months now, and the time of the snapshot hasn't been announced yet.
In addition, there is also the zkSync Lite network, which was launched before the ZK Era mainnet. Using zkSync Lite is also a way to boost your potential allocation. Nevertheless, none of the tasks mentioned in this article guarantee your airdrop eligibility, and the actual allocation would depend on the criteria set by the team.
