**Project Introduction**

Tusima is a cutting-edge multi-chain financial network rooted in zk-rollup technology using zero-knowledge proof tech and multi-chain interoperability. Tusima aims to establish itself as the cornerstone of privacy finance in the Web3 era.

**Funding Sources**

I did a quick search with GPT but couldn't dig up much about its backers. However, a brief LinkedIn sweep revealed that the Tusima team is quite active in various trade shows. Those interested might want to delve deeper:

**Step-by-Step Guide**

This guide, penned during some free time, is meant to be an easy, step-by-step walkthrough for those looking to benefit from the platform. Please excuse the lack of in-depth research. **The most challenging part is claiming the faucet**, but with this guide, **you'll breeze through it in under 5 minutes.**

**Part One: Faucet Claiming**

1. [https://goerli-faucet.pk910.de/](https://goerli-faucet.pk910.de/)

Here, you'll claim your Goerli faucet. Remember, no VPNs. Roughly 0.03 ETH should suffice.

2. [https://www.infura.io/faucet/sepolia](https://www.infura.io/faucet/sepolia)

Just a minute to sign up, then copy and paste your address to request Sepolia faucet.

3\. [https://bridgetest.tusima.network/faucet](https://bridgetest.tusima.network/faucet)

This is the official faucet - too good to pass up. You only need to claim Goerli, Sepolia, and zkSync (the latter can be claimed later).

**Part Two: Initiating Cross-Chain -** [https://bridgetest.tusima.network/transfer](https://bridgetest.tusima.network/transfer)

1.  First, transfer from Goerli > zkSync, about 0.01 ETH per transaction. Then, head back to claim zkSync's faucet. Just click on Claim zkSync Testnet to swiftly add zkSync testnet to your wallet. Wait around 3-5 minutes for the cross-chain funds to arrive, and you're set for the faucet.
    
2.  Next, from zkSync > Goerli, transfer a mere 0.001 ETH per transaction.
    
3.  Hit the Message button, send any text from zkSync > Goerli.
    
4.  Switch the mainnet by clicking the arrow, and send a message from Goerli > zkSync.
    
5.  Return to the cross-chain main page and initiate a 0.01 ETH transfer from Sepolia > Scroll.
    
6.  Hit Back, and repeat the Sepolia cross-chain transfer with another 0.01 ETH. (Ignore any pending notifications; just confirm.)
    
7.  Hit Back again, and repeat the Sepolia cross-chain transfer with another 0.01 ETH. (Ignore any pending notifications; just confirm.)
    

**Part Three: Completing Galxe Tasks**

It's super simple: retweet, join the Discord community, and browse some web pages. Click Claim once done.

Remember: After joining Discord, head to Rules > Get Verified. For the web browsing task, don't forget to actually visit the page.

Just refresh, and you'll see all tasks are completed. Click Claim.

Refresh to see all tasks done. Click Claim.

**Brief Conclusion**

In my view, cross-chain bridges typically offer modest rewards; worthwhile to set up a few accounts but not worth setting up hundreds of accounts. If you plan on using multiple accounts, I'd suggest isolating 2-3 wallets and transferring testnet coins between them; remember to claim the official faucet. This approach saves a ton of time, as you won't need to claim faucet on every single account.
