✅ Step-by-Step: How to Qualify for the zkSync Airdrop

These are the proven actions early users are taking (and repeating!) to qualify:

---

🔁 1. Bridge to zkSync Era

Use the zkSync official bridge or tools like:

• Orbiter Finance — quick & multi-chain

• Layerswap — supports CEX-to-L2 bridges

📌 Tip: Bridge from different chains (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base) to show diverse activity.

---

💱 2. Swap Tokens on zkSync

Interact with DEXes like:

• SyncSwap

• Mute.io

• SpaceFi

Try small trades every few days to look natural. Consistency > volume.

---

🎨 3. Mint or Hold zkSync NFTs

Check NFT platforms like:

• Mint Square

• Element Market

• Try free NFT mints or buy low-cost ones

NFT holding or minting is often used as a bonus criteria.

---

💵 4. Use DeFi Apps on zkSync

Protocols worth interacting with:

• ZkLend – Lending/borrowing

• Velocore – DEX + LP farming

• Meson – Cross-chain stablecoin swaps

Just approve, stake, and unstake if needed — keep things moving weekly.

---

🧩 5. Complete zkSync Quests (via Galxe or Zealy)

Galxe often hosts quests that count toward project-based airdrops.

• Join community tasks

• Follow, like, join Discord

• Connect your wallet and complete on-chain actions

📦 6. Deploy a Smart Contract (Optional/Advanced)

Some users believe deploying a contract may boost eligibility. This is more advanced and optional — not required for beginners.

---

⚠️ Don't Make These Mistakes:

• Using just one wallet (use 2–3 if possible)

• Farming once and disappearing — zkSync rewards consistency

• Ignoring NFTs and dApps — diversify your usage

• Copy-pasting activity from other wallets — do it manually to avoid patterns
