**Project Overview**

[LayerZero](https://layerzero.network/) is an omnichain interoperability protocol designed for lightweight message passing across chains which provides authentic and guaranteed message delivery with configurable trustlessness. Would you like to explore this project more? Check out its [white paper](https://layerzero.network/pdf/LayerZero_Whitepaper_Release.pdf).

How to be eligible to be airdropped $ZRO token?
-----------------------------------------------

*   [Stargate](https://stargate.finance/)
    
    Stargate is a fully composable liquidity transport protocol that lives at the heart of Omnichain DeFi and is the most popular application released by [LazerZero Labs](https://twitter.com/LayerZero_Labs) by total value locked.
    

With Stargate, users & dApps can transfer native assets cross-chain while accessing the protocol’s unified liquidity pools with instant guaranteed finality. That being said, it is presumable that interacting with this application is one of the criteria for the future airdrop. In order to do so, you simply need to follow the steps below:

\*\*Bridging \*\*Open this [tab](https://stargate.finance/transfer), connect your wallet and bridge some funds, just select the asset you want to bridge and its network, then input its total amount and eventually click the “swap” button. I suggest you to use the Transfer Gas Estimator that provides average gas fee estimation for transfers between networks so you can bridge funds between the ones with the lowest fees.

Transfer Gas Estimator

If you want a more guided operation, just enable “Walkthrough mode” on the top-right corner and follow the steps I show you in the pictures below:

![(1) select the asset you want to transfer](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/f62b48c06d52702e0d84378744bff3db6beedeb8f62632d299a3ffd9daa35f32.png)

(1) select the asset you want to transfer

![(2) Select the amount you want to send](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/85425f8a5e4ebef28aa1c2ae10cc1fcac9746422d766ecab5218891b80972126.png)

(2) Select the amount you want to send

![(3) Select the network where you want to send your asset](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7f6225def2ab662770bab63dab00162eb33b08848f7e6f588e5857f4bb5a001c.png)

(3) Select the network where you want to send your asset

### Voting

Buy Stargate Finance tokens ($STG) in the way you prefer (CEXs or DEXs like Uniswap or Binance), even just 1$ is enough, and stake them [here](https://stargate.finance/stake), by locking your $STG tokens you will receive _veSTG_, the longer the lock time, the more _veSTG_ you will receive. _veSTG_ is the unit of Stargate governance voting power that you must use to vote on active [proposals](https://snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth) when available.

![An example of proposal](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3cb1f0bc3ab232b7eb52c84e2d472bdec1451982dfcb61fc15fbb5bd1d9f33c4.png)

### Bridge USDC on the testnet

In this step, you simply need to bridge some funds again, this time from the [Ethereum Goerli Testnet](https://goerli.net/) to the [Avalanche FUJI C-Chain](https://docs.avax.network/quickstart/fuji-workflow) (also a testnet) using the [bridge](https://usdcdemo.layerzero.network/bridge) built by LayerZero Labs (currently a demo version). Just select the amount of gas and USDC you want on destination, then click the “transfer” button.

Here are some links to faucets that will give you the _testnet funds_ required for the transaction. Faucets: [USDC](https://usdcfaucet.com/), [ETH](https://goerlifaucet.com/) and [AVAX](https://faucet.avax.network/).

Add USDC to your Metamask wallet so you can easily see its balance, here are its addresses: **USDC Goerli Contract Address:** 0x07865c6E87B9F70255377e024ace6630C1Eaa37F **USDC Fuji Contract Address:** 0x5425890298aed601595a70AB815c96711a31Bc65

### Interact with the Liquidswap Bridge by Layerzero & Pontem

This is another bridge developed by LayerZero & [Pontem](https://pontem.network/) that allows you to transfer tokens between multiple networks (Ethereum, Polygon and so on) to the Aptos blockchain, hence why you need an Aptos wallet, I suggest you to try the Pontem Wallet (download [here](https://pontem.network/)). Now that you have also an Aptos wallet (remember to import tokens, you need some gas to do so), open this [tab](https://bridge.liquidswap.com/), connect your wallets, select the asset you want to bridge and the network from which do so, input its amount and then press “transfer” to bridge the tokens from any EVM to Aptos.

If you’re having trouble doing this step, you should definitely check the fully detailed tutorial made by the Pontem team [here](https://pontem.network/posts/how-to-bridge-tokens-to-aptos-buy-apt-on-liquidswap).

### Interact with the Aptos Bridge by Layerzero

This bridge, as always made by LayerZero Labs, enables seamless asset transfers between Aptos and the world of blockchains. The steps are once again basically the same as the bridges above: open this [tab](https://theaptosbridge.com/bridge), connect your wallets, select the asset you want to bridge and the network from which do so, input its amount and then press “transfer” to bridge the funds.
