# LayerZero airdrop tutorial for beginners By [LΞΞCH](https://paragraph.com/@l-ch) · 2023-04-23 --- On 4th April 2023, LayerZero Labs has just concluded its Series B funding, raking in $120 million from a host of notable investors. This gives the interoperability protocol a whopping $3 billion valuation. Which means when this project gives airdrop, it’s gonna be a lot of $$$$$ What Is a Cryptocurrency Airdrop? --------------------------------- A cryptocurrency airdrop is a marketing strategy that involves sending coins or tokens to wallet addresses. Small amounts of the new virtual currency are sent to the wallets of active members of the blockchain community for free or in return for a small service, such as retweeting a post sent by the company issuing the currency. The ultimate goal of a crypto airdrop is to promote awareness and circulation of a new token or coin. New to airdrop? No worries! We got you cover! Let’s start: Mission 1: Our goal is to leave transactions traced on the blockchain network Recommended transaction ＞ 25 As we can see from the data shown [https://dune.com/stace/layerzero-users](https://dune.com/stace/layerzero-users) There are 397,000+ user wallet addresses that did ＞ 5 transactions, which means if you just did 5 transactions, the chances of getting airdrop are almost impossible. You can track your total transaction here: [https://dune.com/cryptoded/layerzero](https://dune.com/cryptoded/layerzero) Paste your wallet address in the Search bar, it then will show the total transactions you have made ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1dd19baf9e6c69f5fcefe67f2ccbc1a2d89b2301574c0e80ef6a621e4cf41288.png) Recommended total amount of transactions＞ 1000 USDC/USDT ( Chill! You’re not spending $1k, you will just need to spend < $10 for transaction Gas fee only!) So, we going to do all these transactions at Stargate.finance [https://stargate.finance/](https://stargate.finance/) Our plan is to use cross-chain to send our funds to a different network, we will start from Arbitrum network, for those who do not have funds in their wallet, you may send funds from CEX (Binance, Coinbase….) to top up your wallet ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/53bf7f19a1deff71c8448578dc59a172c51f0130714aa398c7e7b06491c3b9c6.png) Tips: it’s advised to transfer a greater amount per transaction and leave some balance in every network. (not less than $10) Leave a 10 minutes gap after completing a transaction When crossing chain, you might need some small amount of tokens for Gas fee on each network, use this [https://www.bungee.exchange/refuel](https://www.bungee.exchange/refuel) ![Follow my cross-chain transfer sequence and you will get 8 transactions done](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/7cb75db983cce32102e50e46ab8715b627bb804a8db7b57f2ba7aa1bd4b424a3.png) Follow my cross-chain transfer sequence and you will get 8 transactions done Keep doing this until you have done minimum 25 transactions at a different time/day and then you can do it monthly.
