#Binance   #crypto2023   #BTC  #ETH 
Are you regretting missing out on the Arbitrum airdrop?
Last week, $ARB airdrop recipients made an average of $2,350. Airdrops like $ARB, $OP, and $APT have turned many airdrop hunters into millionaires.
Don’t worry, in this article, we have compiled all the upcoming popular airdrop projects and interaction strategies to help you find the next top Airdrop.
 
1、zkSync
zkSync is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that provides low gas and fast transactions without compromising security.
zkSync is a heavyweight when it comes to investment, raising a record $458 million from VCs including the Ethereum Foundation, a16z and Coinbase.
The CEO of zkSync developer Matter Labs hinted that $ZKS will be released in about a year, further increasing the probability of zkSync’s airdrop.
zkSync raised $458 million in funding and Arbitrum raised $120 million, so you can imagine how big this airdrop is.
The CEO of Matter Labs hinted that $ZKS will be released in about a year, which is also confirmation of the zkSync airdrop.
There are many testing tutorials on zkSync 1.0 (Lite) on the Internet. Today we will focus on 2.0 (Era).
Set up wallet:
Add zkSync Era mainnet on metamask (https://chainlist.org/chain/324)
Use zkSync's official cross-chain bridge to transfer ETH to the zkSync network and get back a small amount of ETH:
• Open https://portal.zksync.io/> to connect the wallet to the Ethereum mainnet.
• Enter the amount of ETH (it is recommended to deposit at least 0.02 ETH, if you can deposit 0.1 ETH, you will be ahead of 80% of users) > Click "Deposit" > Wallet Confirm.
• Click "Withdraw" > then withdraw less than 10% of the ETH you deposited
Test part of the dApp running on zkSync Era (use more funds to interact with, increase airdrop opportunities).
Trade and add liquidity on Mute Switch:
• Open https://app.mute.io/ and connect the wallet (zkSync Era)
• Exchange some ETH for MUTE
• Exchange some ETH for USDC
• Add liquidity to USDC/ETH or MUTE/ETH
Interact with SpaceSwap in the same process: https://swap-zksync.spacefi.io/#/swap
Mint and trade NFTs on Mint Square:
• Open https://mintsquare.io/zksync and connect the wallet.
• Click "Mint" on the home page.
• Upload any image > Give it a name > Click on “Mint” > Confirm on the wallet.
• List freshly minted NFTs for sale > Buy any NFT on the market
2、LayerZero
LayerZero is a full-chain interoperability protocol designed to make it easier for different blockchains to connect to each other. It can be used for asset cross-chain and message passing.
LayerZero Labs recently raised over $170 million from VCs including a16z, Red Shirt Capital, Binance Labs.
LayerZero may distribute its tokens to users of the protocols it builds on.
Funds cross-chain:
Cross-chain funds from low-fee networks like Arbitrum or Polygon to the Aptos network via http://theaptosbridge.com/bridge and http://bridge.liquidswap.com. A minimum cross-chain funding of $100 to $10,000 is recommended.

To qualify for LayerZero’s air investment, you should use all of the above protocols at least once a week.
 
3、StarkNet
StarkNet is a decentralized ZK-Rollup. It operates as an L2 network on Ethereum, allowing any dApp to achieve unlimited scale due to its computation.
StarkWare Industries (developer) raised over $280 million from VCs including Redshirt Capital, a16z, Paradigm.
StarkNet has grown into a very large ecosystem, including DeFi protocols, NFTs, wallets, GameFi projects, and more. Therefore, it is likely that the StarkNet team will airdrop $STARK to users of key projects on its network.
To maximize your airdrop, follow the steps below.
Set up wallet:
Install Argent X and create a StarkNet wallet (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/argent-x/dlcobpjiigpikoobohmabehhmhfoodbb)
Asset cross-chain:

4、Lens Protocol
Lens Protocol is a decentralized social graph protocol for social applications that unifies your profile, audience, and content across all Lens-enabled applications. Similar to ENS domains, your profile can be traded on the marketplace.
Lens Protocol is led by FTX, but there may be other VCs that have not yet been announced. And there may be new investment rounds in the future.
Since the protocol has a transition to a DAO and plans to enable protocol fees in the future, a $LENS token airdrop seems likely.

Lens configuration files can be obtained in 2 ways:
• If you are eligible, you can apply for a profile (https://claim.lens.xyz)

10、Rage Trade
Rage Trade is building the most liquid, composable and only full-chain leverage protocol (powered by UNI v3).
The exact size of the investment has not been announced, but it has received investment from VCs such as CMS Holdings, Zee Prime, Robot Ventures and others.
  
The Rage Trade team has hinted multiple times that there will be an airdrop of $RAGE to users. Additionally, by using Rage Trade, you will have the opportunity to receive both $RAGE and $ZRO airdrops, and the protocol is also suitable for obtaining LayerZero airdrops.
Follow the steps below to interact and increase your airdrop chances:
• Make trades (it is recommended to make at least 5-10 trades in 1-2 weeks, each trade should be worth no less than $100)
• Deposit $USDC, $GLP and $ETH into the vault. Rage Trade has two types of vaults: Risk-On and Risk-Off. Risk-On vault is risky, but at the same time it offers a higher APY. If you only want to get airdrops, I recommend depositing $USDC into the Risk-Off vault.
• 90% of Rage Trade users have less than $1,000 in their vault, so I recommend you deposit at least $1,100 to qualify for the airdrop.
