Intro

Mode is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that offers airdrops to users who hold and use ezETH, weETH, and other tokens. By utilizing DeFi protocols on Mode and its partner platforms, users can earn Mode Points, Eigenlayer Points, and Etherfi Points.

The goal of Mode is to empower developers and users to grow an ecosystem of world-class applications. Users and developers are directly rewarded for their contributions to the platform.

“Season 2 has officially started and is designed to reward users that continue to grow the Mode ecosystem. With $MODE launching on the 7th May and a number of leading DeFi applications deploying to Mode we couldn’t be more excited to scale with you all.”

• 500,000,000 MODE tokens (5% of MODE total supply) available

• Up to 1,000,000 in OP tokens incentives

Season 2 Points Update

A preview of what’s coming soon:

• $MODE token multipliers

• $MODE token locking multipliers

• Ecosystem token multipliers

• LP position multipliers on new applications

• Lending protocol multipliers

Sign Up

This campaign involves testing a multitude of dApps on the MODE mainnet.

• First sign-up to the airdrop

https://ref.mode.network/nUCO6Y

• If you’re asked for an invite code use nUCO6Y for instant access

• Connect your X (Twitter)

• Connect your wallet

Note: If you are currently out of the country, you can use a VPN such as NordVPN

Once you have signed up, connected all the necessary accounts, and confirmed that you are eligible to participate, it is time to move on to the first task.

Bridge ETH to MODE

The first task is to bridge Ethereum (ETH) to Mode using the Mode Bridge.

You can bridge any amount, but you will need some ETH on MODE to complete the tasks outlined in this guide. To save on gas fees, it is recommended to bridge the full amount you anticipate needing in a single transaction. You must bridge from Ethereum to be eligible for the airdrop, and the gas costs will be similar whether you bridge $10 or $1,000. The specific amount you need to deposit will depend on your individual circumstances and whether you plan to leave the assets supplied within the lending services to earn additional points.

Once you have bridged to MODE, you are ready to start earning points by testing the appropriate dApps.

As you progress through the tasks outlined in this guide, many of them will enable you to earn points across multiple reward systems and airdrop opportunities. This means that by completing these activities, you'll be able to maximize your earning potential and efficiently work towards various incentives simultaneously.

In essence, you'll often be able to "kill two (or more) birds with one stone" as you navigate the different tasks and opportunities presented. This cross-functionality and ability to stack rewards can make your participation in this program highly efficient and lucrative.

Kim Exchange

A decentralized exchange native to Mode. Swap tokens quickly and easily.

• MODE Points

• Kim Points

• Layer3 CUBE ($L3 Airdrop)

1. Swap any amount of any tokens on Kim Exchange

2. Once you have made a swap, head to Layer3 and claim your CUBE

Note: If you are not holding either USDC or USDT on MODE, then we recommend you swap ETH for some USDC or USDT to be prepared for the next task from Mantissa.

Mantissa

A decentralized Automated Market Maker (AMM) crafted by Mantissa Finance.

• MODE On-Chain Engagement

• Mantissa Points

• Layer3 CUBE ($L3 Airdrop)

As of writing, MantisSwap only supports USDC and USDT

1. Swap on MantisSwap

2. Supply liquidity on MantisSwap

3. Claim your Layer3 CUBE

You can swap and supply any amount, however, the more you swap/supply the more points you will earn.

Renzo / LayerBank

A universal permissionless on-chain bank.

• MODE Points (Renzo 1.2x / LayerBank 2x)

• ETH Staking APR

• EigenLayer APR

• EigenLayer Points (on Renzo)

• Renzo ezPoints

• L.Points (LayerBank)

• Layer3 Cube ($L3 Airdrop)

1. Supply ETH on Renzo and receive ezETH

2. Supply ezETH on LayerBank - scroll down to ‘Market’ & click ‘ezETH’ (when supplying, make sure you ‘enable collateral’)

3. Borrow ETH against your supplied ezETH** - **scroll down to ‘Market’, click ‘ETH’, choose the ‘Borrow’ tab at the top.

Now you can pay it back immediately if you wish (recommended), or if you are farming L.Points, EigenLayer and ezPoints, you can head back to Renzo stake that ETH for more ezETH then supply that ezETH in LayerBank, essentially repeating the process with the borrowed capital.

Be careful repeating this multiple times, keep an eye on your borrowed percentage (%) you don’t want to let it get too high as you risk liquidation, the APY will fluctuate so ensure you have enough buffer to get you through your term. Also remember that it needs paying back (with interest) in order to release your supplied funds. Determine how much you want to spend on all the bonus points.

Another option is to borrow USDC or USDT and stake that in Mantissa’s pool (previous task).

Renzo / Ionic

An infra solution that brings easy access to lending & borrowing for any DeFi asset on Mode.

• MODE Points (Renzo 1.2x / Ionic 2x)

• ETH Staking APR

• EigenLayer APR

• EigenLayer Points (on Renzo)

• Renzo ezPoints

• Ionic Points

Same as Renzo/LayerBank above, only you cannot borrow ETH currently. If you want to stack you would have to borrow something else such as wETH and then supply that for ezETH on Renzo.

1. Supply ETH on Renzo and receive ezETH

2. Supply ezETH on Ionic - (enable collateral)

3. Borrow wETH against your supplied ezETH

After borrowing you can pay it back immediately and still get the MODE on-chain engagement (recommended). Alternatively, for the degens, as with the Renzo/LayerBank task above, you can also use your borrowed capital to get more ezETH on Renzo and then add that to your supply on Ionic. Rinse and repeat in accordance with your own risk tolerances and remember you have to pay it back, with the interest.

Once again, be very careful if you decide to ape in and monitor your health factor to make sure you do not get liquidated.

Another option is to borrow USDC or USDT and stake that in Mantissa’s pool.
