zkSync is one of the most promising protocols that has not yet launched a token. In their documentation, it is mentioned that there will be a token, so if there is an airdrop, we may need to start engaging in some activities on zkSync.
This article may help you qualify for the upcoming airdrop (but it does not guarantee that you will receive it), and we have no reason not to do it since the transaction costs on zkSync are very low.
We will list potential steps and strategies that can be taken, not only through zkSync but also by leveraging other projects in the ecosystem to qualify for airdrops.
Transfer funds to zkSync via Orbiter Finance
The first step is to use Orbiter Finance to transfer funds to zkSync. Orbiter is a cross-chain bridge that supports ETH, USDC, and USDT transfers from various blockchains.
Transfer funds to zkSync using the zkSync bridge
The zkSync bridge is the official way to transfer funds to zkSync. You can connect your wallet and transfer funds from the Ethereum mainnet to zkSync.
Between these two methods, we recommend using both if you want to maximize your chances of qualifying for the airdrop.
Trade on ZigZag Exchange
Zigzag is a decentralized non-custodial order book trading platform powered by ZK-rollup. It has many trading pairs, making it easy to trade on zkSync.
We can conduct some trades on the platform. For example, you can swap your ETH for USDC and then swap it back.
Donate on Gitcoin and check out via zkSync
Gitcoin is a platform that funds various tools. You can browse projects that may become part of the future of the Internet. You can check Gitcoin grant donations through the zkSync network for cheaper transaction fees.
Claim tokens from the zkSync 2.0 Goerli faucet
Apply for some testnet tokens from the zkSync 2.0 portal faucet, which is the first EVM-compatible ZK-rollup.
Trade on SyncSwap --- zkSync 2.0 Testnet
Once we have our token faucet, we can access SyncSwap and conduct some trades using these non-real tokens. If needed, you can click the faucet in the upper right corner to obtain more tokens.
In addition to swapping, you can also add liquidity to the pool.
Mint NFTs on MintSquare
Go to MintSquare (an NFT storefront on zkSync) and mint a new NFT on the zkSync testnet. Just find any cute image and upload it to the website.
Give your NFT a name, attributes, and then click mint.
Trade and add liquidity on 1kx
You also want to continue trading and add liquidity on as many indices as possible. 1kx is another DEX on zkSync where you can trade. What makes 1kx unique is that it allows single token liquidity pools by pairing with its stablecoin OSD.
