zkSync 2.0 is the first EVM-compatible ZK Rollup on Ethereum’s testnet. We have covered [zkSync 1.0 Mainnet](https://medium.com/@CalendarDefi/airdrop-guide-zksync-zigzag-a83ef3b33b70) along with other ZK rollups like [Aztec](https://medium.com/@CalendarDefi/airdrop-guide-zk-money-3dfb7058a5ec) and [StarkNet](https://medium.com/@CalendarDefi/testnet-guide-oasis-mintsquare-briq-starknet-283459b5a487) before.

zkSync 2.0 have just launched their public testnet. Let’s see what we can do there.

**Getting started:**

As the testnet is running on Goerli network, you will need to to get some Goerli ETH first. Try any of the faucets below.

*   [https://goerli-faucet.mudit.blog/](https://goerli-faucet.mudit.blog/)
    
*   [https://faucets.chain.link/goerli](https://faucets.chain.link/goerli)
    
*   [https://goerli-faucet.slock.it/](https://goerli-faucet.slock.it/)
    

Skip step 2 if you can’t get any Goerli ETH.

**Step 1:**

Head to [https://portal.zksync.io/](https://portal.zksync.io/) and connect your wallet. You will automatically be asked to add the “zkSync 2.0 testnet Goerli” network.

You may also add the network manually to your metamask.

*   Network Name: `zkSync alpha testnet`
    
*   New RPC URL: `https://zksync2-testnet.zksync.dev`
    
*   Chain ID: `280`
    

**Step 2: (Skip if you don’t have Goerli ETH.)**

We first go to “Bridge” then “Deposit” to deposit some $ETH to zkSync 2.0.

**Step 3:**

Next we go to “Faucet” to get some testnet $LINK, $DAI, $WBTC and $USDC into our zkSync address. Check your balance at “Balances” after claiming.

**Step 4:**

Now go to “Transfer”. Input the address of another wallet and transfer some tokens to it. Pay the fees in DAI if you don’t have ETH.

**Step 5:**

At last we go to “Withdraw” to withdraw some $DAI from zkSync back to Goerli. Pay the fees in DAI if you don’t have ETH.

We can also try swapping, LPing and farming at **Mute** currently live on zkSync 2.0 Testnet.

(Everything starting from Step 6 is very slow. You may want to try later when zkSync have fixed the issue).

**Step 6:**

Go to [https://testnet.switch.mute.io/](https://testnet.switch.mute.io/) and connect your wallet again to the zkSync 2.0 Testnet.

We first try swapping some $ETH to $DAI.

**Step 7:**

Go to “POOL” and “Add Liquidity”. Form a LP with $DAI and $ETH.

**Step 8:**

Finally go to “FARMING” to deposit your LP.

That’s all for zkSync 2.0 now. If you have any bugs or feedbacks to report, go to [zkSync Discord](https://discord.gg/6xyhfjxHyG) or the [Mute Discord](https://discord.gg/muteio).
