# Layer Zero Retroactive Airdrop By [Fenrir](https://paragraph.com/@fenrir-2) · 2022-11-18 --- [LayerZero](https://layerzero.network/) is an omnichain interoperability protocol designed for lightweight message passing across blockchains. LayerZero provides authentic and guaranteed message delivery with configurable trustlessness. LayerZero raised more than $135M from Sequoia Capital, a16z, Coinbase, Binance, Tiger Global, Uniswap and PayPal Ventures. Currently, LayerZero does not have a token yet, but we know that its token with the ticker $ZRO exists because it can be viewed on their information code. There is no official announcement of $ZRO, but the community expects it to be launching sometime in the near future. What we can do to get a potential retrodrop? Let's start with activity in mainnet. ### Stargate Finance [Stargate](https://stargate.finance/) is a fully composable liquidity transport protocol that lives at the heart of Omnichain DeFi. LayerZero Labs believes that Stargate will be integral to any DApp that wants to move cryptocurrency across blockchains. Thus, it makes sense that Stargate users, especially DAO voters, have a very high chance to receive $ZRO airdrops. ![Stargate Transfer](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/fea7d73ddeffb6a32a7aee42fcd540d3f123cae9a232835a34e40d0970b0bbbf.jpg) Stargate Transfer 1. Buy STG tokens. No matter which network, I recommend using Arbitrum, Optimism or Polygon networks due to low fees. 2. Go to [stargate.finance/stake](https://stargate.finance/stake) and stake STG to get voting power (veSTG). 3. Go to [snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth](http://snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth), join Stargate Dao and regularly vote on governance proposals. ![Get veSTG](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/9da69a3947edd40a3a82090bd7974aa3d0beecbe80c92e67c10067deb7babc05.jpg) Get veSTG ![Join Stargate DAO and vote](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6e7cc70c307fb26d3842f9f985b7e9802b68e6118a8716d7c50a7548c7794227.jpg) Join Stargate DAO and vote If you have more than 25 veSTG you will get special role in [Stargate discord](https://stargate.finance/discord). Take into account that today's 25 veSTG in a couple of days will turn into 24.99 and so on (veSTG = STG \* the amount of day for which you staked your STG) Use [Stargate.finance](https://stargate.finance) - transfer USDC,USDT or ETH cross-chain (Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Matic, Optimism, Fantom), add liquidity to Stargate's omnichain protocol. ### DApps on LayerZero Apart from Stargate Finance, you can also interact with other DApps on LayerZero including [Radiant Capital](https://app.radiant.capital/), [Mugen Finance](https://www.mugenfinance.com), [Angle Protocol](https://www.angle.money), [Omni X](https://omni-x.io/) or [TofyNFT.com](http://TofyNFT.com) You can make transactions, deposit funds, provide liquidity, swap tokens.
