Here’s a list of projects we’ll be covering for this week;
Let’s dive in 🏊🏼♂️ 👇🏽
1. @paraswap Reward on Layer3
Paraswap launched its Staking on Optimism 2 weeks ago (Tweeted about it last week Alpha) and launched a campaign on @layer3xyz… This campaign will reward participants with $10,000 worth of OP tokens.

How to get in? 👇🏽
Note;
You need about $50+ to complete.
Paraswap will also refund 95% of your gas fee spent (see the image below).
There’s a 28-day cool down on PSP 2.0 staking.
- You need to purchase about 1510 $PSP or more on Paraswap (worth about $36 at this moment) on Optimism Network.

- Stake $50+ worth of PSP and WETH or ETH on Optimism.
Paraswap 2.0 staking is an 80/20 PSP-ETH pool; your staking has to be 80% in PSP and 20% in WETH or ETH.

Your staking position will be called sePSP2 (se = Social Escrow)
How to get eligible for rewards?
You need to hold your sePSP2 position until the quest ends (approximately 19 days from now)

Currently, there are 830 questers on this, might be worth trying.
