✅ 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:
Try small trades every few days to look natural. Consistency > volume.
🎨 3. Mint or Hold zkSync NFTs
Check NFT platforms like:
-
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
