The wealth creation effect of Arbitrum is still very popular in the encryption market, and the activity on the chain is still very high recently. So, besides Arbitrum, which Layer2 projects are worth paying attention to? Who will be the next big AirDrop ? Which projects are worth interacting with in the zkSync ecosystem that has been sought after by the market recently? As an ordinary user, how to improve the efficiency of the AirDrop in the next big AirDrop ?
The ARB wealth creation effect triggers Fomo, which Layer 2 is the market optimistic about
Stimulated by Arbitrum's "sprinkling of money", the enthusiasm for AirDrop in the crypto market has been ignited again. This time, the ZK Rollup system Layer 2 has become the focus of the market. So, which Layer 2 is the most worthy of attention?
Judging from the development progress of the ZK Rollup project and the expected issuance of coins, the three mainstream ZK Rollup projects such as zkSync, StarkNet, and Scroll deserve the most attention. The reason why Polygon zkEVM, Immutable zkEVM, ConsenSys zkEVM, Taiko and other mainstream projects are excluded is because both Polygon and Immutable have issued tokens, while the ConsenSys zkEVM test network has not yet been launched and its development subject is subject to the US company. Regulatory constraints are relatively large. After closing the first testnet, Taiko has not yet launched the second testnet. The probability of AirDrop is relatively small.
According to the statistics of 0xScope, 2 days after the release of the Polygon zkEVM beta Mainnet, there were 4K Cross-chain bridge activities; in contrast, zkSync Era had 40K+ daily Cross-chain bridge activities when it was launched. It can be seen how the AirDrop is expected to have a huge impact on the Layer2 project.
How do the three Layer 2 projects interact? What other projects in the zkSync ecosystem are worthy of attention
As mentioned above, the three most noteworthy Layer 2 projects in the encryption market are mainly zkSync, StarkNet, and Scroll. How should these three Layer 2 projects interact? In addition, due to the recent launch of zkSync Era, this article will further focus on introducing the zkSync ecology that is hot in the market.
zkSync interaction strategy: The founding team of zkSync has repeatedly confirmed that tokens will be issued in the future, so there is a high probability of getting an AirDrop after interaction. Currently, zkSync operates two networks, the 1.0 network zkSync Lite that does not support zkEVM, and the 2.0 network zkSync Era that supports zkEVM, which also means that zkSync will have two different interaction paths. zkSync Lite has been online and running for many years. Users can activate the chain address through the "official web wallet"; then use "official bridge" or third-party bridging services such as "Orbiter" and "Layerswap" to deposit ETH and other funds into the network; Perform transactions on ZigZag; or try to mint some NFTs on the built-in NFT function interface of the wallet; if you catch up with the Gitcoin donation event, you can also try to use zkSync Lite to donate.
StarkNet is a Layer 2 solution built by Israeli development team StarkWare. StarkNet has been launched on the Mainnet, but its functions are not perfect for the time being, and the network performance is limited. Users can link to the network and create addresses through "Braavos" (more recommended) and "Argent" wallets; then deposit ETH and other funds through the official bridge "StarkGate" or third-party bridges such as "Orbiter" and "LayerSwap"; Then use more commonly used ecological Dapps such as "MySwap", "10 K Swap", "JediSwap", "MintSquare", "StarkNet.id".
Scroll debuted at EthCC 2022 and is a Layer 2 solution that focuses on "fully equivalent EVM". Currently, Scroll is in the Alpha testnet stage. Users can add the network with one click through the official "test network configuration interface"; then transfer funds such as ETH from the Ethereum Goerli test network to the Alpha test network through the "official bridge"; and then experience "Uniswap (forked version of the application) )”, “SyncSwap”, “Tictactoe” and other ecological Dapps.
In the hot zkSync ecosystem, which projects are worthy of attention? The figure below covers the main projects listed on lite or Era.
Judging from Arbitrum’s AirDrop experience: the more ecological protocols that interact, the more AirDrop will be obtained. zkSync may eventually follow suit. In addition to ZigZag, which is more popular on zkSync, zkSync’s official Cross-chain bridge, Orbiter Finance, UniDex, and SpaceFi are also currently attracting more attention in the market. It is worth noting that zkSync Era is still in its early stages. Investors should pay attention to the safety of funds and recommend small capital experience.
How to scientifically increase the probability of getting an AirDrop?
In addition to the Layer 2 project, we can look further into the AirDrop, so that the probability of getting an AirDrop will become greater. First of all, projects worthy of AirDrop should have the following characteristics: no currency has been issued but there is an expectation of currency issuance, and the project should have a certain value. This can be comprehensively considered from the dimensions of investors, ecology, and communities. Secondly, one of the biggest advantages of the blockchain is that it is open and transparent, and it can be analyzed through the data on the chain to obtain an efficient AirDrop strategy. In addition, it is also a good way to track some smart whale addresses, and some smart addresses are indeed "everywhere".
So, which projects in the market have potential? Twitter big V Hebi (@hebi555) briefly summarized the tweets, the main content is as follows: unissued currency L2 has Taiko, zksync, starknet, Scroll, aztec, linea; unissued currency L1 has sui, sei, layerzero, fuel, zeta, aleo, shardeum, celestia; unreleased celestial projects: fox wallet, IM wallet, wormhole. In addition, Sui should issue coins in May or June without any surprises; one of the other projects should issue coins in about 3 months, and there will be easter eggs.
Next, we focus on how to use the data on the chain to improve the efficiency of AirDrop. Twitter big v @sanyuan2016 tweeted: The data on the chain is transparent, we can optimize our hair-raising strategy by observing the data on the chain and outperform other competitors. Taking @zksync as an example, we first need to deposit through the official bridge. What is the optimal strategy for depositing how much and how many times?
We use data to:
● From the perspective of the amount, as long as you deposit more than 0.1 ETH, you have entered 30%
● In terms of the number of interactions, at present, 90% of people basically go once, and 2 times can exceed 90% of users;
To sum up, we can deposit a total amount of more than 0.1 #Ethereum into #zSync through the official bridge twice. If this is a scoring item in the future, we will probably not miss it; of course, we also need to update it regularly to see this data , to see if it is necessary to add another fire.
Finally, after analyzing the data on the chain, it is recommended to pay more attention to the dynamics of the smart whale address. Earlier, Lookonchain (@lookonchain) tweeted: We found 6 smart AirDrop hunters who have obtained almost all large-scale encrypted AirDrop, including: $ARB, $ OP, $BLUR, $SOS, $LOOKS , $ ENS, $DYDX, $1INCH, $ UNI, $HOP, $FORTH, $GTC, etc. Its address is as follows:
Address one: 0x6f9bb7e454f5b3eb2310343f0e99269dc2bb8a1d
Address 2: 0x11B1785D9Ac81480c03210e89F1508c8c115888E
Address three: 0x70e7a6621f4cb3c3e073d0539899f49fc88424c0
Address 4: 0x78Ebe56BC138069557C89af35EB29023fF31Ae2c
Address five: 0x000f4432a40560bbff1b581a8b7aded8dab80026
Address six: 0xd56EE5Ba5A52e15f309108BDd6247C69B4F624C2
On the whole, after the conversion of Ethereum to PoS, the market's attention has obviously shifted to Ethereum, and Layer 2 as Ethereum has also become a hot spot in the market. In a sense, 2023 can be said to be the first year of the Layer 2 outbreak. As each Layer 2 leader goes online one after another, the blockchain infrastructure is becoming more and more perfect, which will undoubtedly pave the way for subsequent large-scale Web3 applications.
