The Arbitrum Odyssey event has started. What issues do you need to pay attention to?
Original author: 0x711&wzp, Rhythm BlockBeats
The Arbitrum Odyssey event officially started at 1 AM Beijing time on June 22. The community generally expects this event to serve as a "stepping stone" for obtaining Arbitrum airdrops. Fortunately, the GAS fees are low, and ETH has become relatively cheaper, making interaction costs manageable. On-chain data shows a rapid increase in cross-chain transaction volume as the event began.
The main purpose of the Arbitrum Odyssey event is to familiarize users with Arbitrum, helping them understand its logic and operations, so the interaction methods are not overly complex.
So what exactly needs to be done in the first week of the Odyssey event, and how?
For users unfamiliar with Ethereum Layer 2 or Arbitrum, the tasks in the first week are essentially a training session for newcomers. Users only need to transfer ETH (note, it must be ETH) into the Arbitrum network via the officially designated cross-chain bridge to achieve the task goal. Additionally, the first week's tasks include an extra reward: users who utilize the cross-chain bridge protocol with the highest transaction volume will qualify for an additional NFT reward.
Therefore, for users looking to earn an extra NFT reward, the optimal strategy might be to choose the cross-chain bridge protocol with the highest transaction volume based on on-chain data a few hours before the event ends. According to official information, BlockBeats has summarized the key points regarding the Odyssey and the first week's activities as follows:

How long after completing the task will the Project Galaxy event page be updated?
Depending on the technology behind different bridges, results from Hop and Connext will be displayed immediately, while other results will be shown after Bridge Week.
Why does using Bungee qualify for Hop Protocol conditions?
Bungee is a bridge aggregator, so using Bungee through Hop also qualifies for completing Hop conditions.
Why are there 4 Hop Protocols on the event page?
The Hop team has provided 4 different subgraphs for 4 different chains. Using any of them qualifies for completing the Bridge week task.
