Who doesn’t like free money?? Well in this world, money used to never come free…but crypto changed
all of that back in 2020 with airdrop’s becoming mainstream. The crypto markets are unique in that
many of the new projects who arrive on the scene airdrop their tokens to early supporters of the
project. And I’ve earned a reputation of being the airdrop king…I spot them way before they happen,
getting my subs in a position to receive. So are you ready for the
next big DROP? Find out what it is, in about 10 minutes…because it’s time for Chico Crypto!!
The airdrop hype has been on Arbitrum, as this Ethereum layer 2 finally announced
their airdrop for ARB tokens last week. From the Arbitrum announcement blog they say “Today
marks the launch of The Arbitrum Foundation and DAO Governance for the Arbitrum One and
Arbitrum Nova networks. The Arbitrum token will put governance power in the
hands of the DAO. 12.75% of the $ARB token supply will be airdropped on March 23.”
Yesterday was March 23rd, which means you can claim your ARB tokens from the airdrop…claiming
can be found at arbitrum.foundation, I’ve also included the link in the
description….but many of you should be eligible to claim a nice batch of tokens…
Because I’ve been predicting that Arbitrum was going to do an airdrop for over a year now…and
even put out a couple videos six months ago covering that Arbitrum would do an airdrop soon,
even doing a step-by-step guide showing how to get in the best position to receive the airdrop.
So how much will the tokens be worth? Or how much should they be worth? Well 12.75 percent
of the tokens are getting released to users and DAOs within the arbitrum ecosystem today. There
is a 10 billion supply of ARB, which means 1.275 billion tokens will be in the market.
Now as we know, Arbitrum is the #1 ethereum layer 2 out there,
with nearly double the TVL of Optimism. In my opinion,
this should mean that Arbitrum will rank higher than Optimism on Coingecko…
Checking out Coingecko, we can see Optimism is rank #60 with
a 266 million dollar market cap. If Arbitrum was to match that market cap,
that means the price of the 1.275 billion circulating tokens would be about 21 cents!!
They were trading for over a dollar yesterday, me things they have some room to come down
But now it’s time to do what I do best and predict another BIG
airdrop coming soon…and show the best ways to get prepared to receive it…
That airdrop is from zksync!
First thing’s first…we need to figure out if they are doing the drop soon. Last month, the zysync
twitter tweeted “The wait is over.All aboard zkSync EraMainnet! Today, Ethereum's first zkEVM
is:Opening mainnet to builders, Adopting a brand new name and Open-sourcing its entire codebase.
Yes, the mainnet for zksync is open for builders and developers which from the tweet thread we
can see is through the fair onboarding alpha…and switching to their roadmap,
we can see after this, zksync is moving to full mainnet alpha
launch…opening up the protocol to the users like you and me…
Is it likely they launch their token with the mainnet? I would
say very likely…so how long is the onboarding going to last?
Well in late January…their twitter dove deeper into this fair onboarding and said
“The duration of Fair Onboarding Alpha will be determined alongside ecosystem projects.
Timing will be guided by system security and readiness.”...not giving any hint at
how long it could possibly last…well zksync used to have developer docs for onboarding
process on their website, but if we go to it, we can see they have been deleted…
Well I just used a little bit of google magic to find what was in these docs. I just
searched google by zksync fair onboarding weeks, and look what popped up number 1,
the docs from the zksyc website and they said 4-6 weeks. Clicking into the doc,
we can confirm this is the deleted one from the zksync..
Now if we go back to their tweet on opening the mainnet to developers,
it was tweeted February 16th…4-6 weeks after this is between March
16th and 30th…aka at any time we could be seeing their mainnet open to the public!!
Which means at any time we could be seeing zksync doing an airdrop,
officially joining the ethereum layer 2 airdrop wars, against arbitrum and optimism!!
And the zksync twitter gave a big HINT of something to come yesterday…they tweeted
this video image, with a date…today, 3/24/2023….it’s very possible the
mainnet is open to the public with an airdrop right around the corner…
So how do you get in a position of strength
for this possible upcoming airdrop so late in the game??
Well you gotta use zksync’s suite of usable products…
And we can get an idea of how, from the recent Arbitrum airdrop…the qualifying actions,
were bridging over to Arbitrum of course, but transaction count,
how many total transactions conducted, played a huge factor…this is something
that can be done on ZkSync right now, conduct a ton of transactions…
To do this, you need to play with zksync in its current form. Zksync lite which can be found
at lite.zksync.io…Here you need to connect an ethereum wallet…I recommend metamask, and once
connected you will be greeted with the message to top up your wallet aka bridge over some funds,
you have the option of four different bridges, but I recommend the one provided by zksync…
Once funds are bridged over and in your wallet…you can head on over to the zigzag
exchange, the decentralized exchange built on zksync who also recently did an airdrop,
of which I called 11 months ago…
Anyways, here connect your wallet,
and just perform market orders back and forth between a pair of assets,
like USDC and ETH, as we can see from the exchange, the network fee is just 12 cents.
That means 100 trades, aka 100 transactions would cost just 12 dollars!! I’m sure the
possible token reward for total transactions is going to be worth much more than 12 dollars!
Although there is another type of transaction I recommend doing, as they have a section
dedicated to it on the zksync website…I would highly recommend minting an NFT…
Now this takes a bit of work, as you need to upload the image to IPFS, but by having
a dedicated section for it on their website, they are basically screaming…”this will be important”!!
And there are other things to do on the zksync lite mainnet. They have built a
tool for creating payment links on the protocol called zksync checkout where
the links can be used as payable invoices or requests for payment.
Creating a payment link takes no time at all and I would highly
recommend fulfilling the request for payment from another wallet you own..
If you want to dive deep down the zksync rabbit hole, and try everything they have to offer,
I’ve included this great document “Things To Do On zkSync 1.0 Mainnet”
down in the description. It shows you everything that can be done on zksync 1.0…
Well viewers, it’s possible the airdrop happens today…but it’s likely they launch the mainnet,
and then down the road to the airdrop…which means there is still
time to get prepared…Cheers I’ll see you next time!!
