The best chance to receive $ZKS airdrop is to interact with zkSync Lite. Moreover, many projects in the zkSync ecosystem also do not have a token yet. So interacting with their ecosystem dapps may entitle you to potential airdrops from zkSync and the ecosystem project. Here’s how to receive a potential zkSync token airdrop:
Add zkSync Era Alpha Testnet on MetaMask.
Get Testnet Tokens.
Interact with zkSync Lite.
Bridge Funds to zkSync.
Interact with the zkSync ecosystem.
Add zkSync Era Alpha Testnet on MetaMask
You will need to connect zkSync Era alpha testnet to your MetaMask. To do this, go to your MetaMask and click on the network button, then “Add network”. Then, click “Add a network manually”. Add the following information and click “Save”:
Network Name: zkSync Era Testnet
New RPC URL: https://zksync2-testnet.zksync.dev
Chain ID: 280
Currency Symbol: ETH
Block Explorer URL: https://goerli.explorer.zksync.io/
Add zkSync Era Alpha Mainnet on MetaMask for potential zkSync airdrop
Add zkSync Era Alpha Mainnet on MetaMask
Get Testnet Tokens
Go to https://goerli.portal.zksync.io/faucet. It will require you to have a Twitter account to claim their testnet tokens. Note the Twitter account is (1) not new, (2) has engaged in previous Twitter activities, and (3) has a profile picture. You will then get Goerli ETH, DAI, LINK, USDC, and wBTC. Remember these are testnet tokens with no value.

Interact with zkSync Lite
Currently, only whitelist addresses are allowed to deposit on mainnet. However, any user can use zkSync Lite (formerly known as zkSync 1.0). This can be a potential way for users to get a zkSync airdrop even though they missed the whitelist. To interact with zkSync Lite, connect your L1 ETH wallet on zkSync Lite (note the single-time account activation fee of 1.279 USDT). Then, interact by moving your balances from L1 on zkSync Lite by depositing ETH or USDT. Or, withdraw your funds back from zkSync Lite to L1.
Bridge Funds to zkSync
If you have Goerli ETH, you can bridge them to zkSync at portal.zksync.io/bridge. If you do not have Goerli ETH, you can use several faucets such as goerlifaucet.com, goerli-faucet.mudit.blog or goerli-faucet.pk910.de.
Interact with the zkSync ecosystem
zkSync has an entire ecosystem of protocols. Here are some top zkSync ecosystem projects you could interact with to maximise your chances of a potential zkSync airdrop and even double your rewards:
Mute.io
Orbiter Finance
ZigZag Exchange
Argent
MintSquare
Onchain Trade
SyncSwap
SpaceFi
Mute.io
On mute.io, you can swap tokens, buy $MUTE, add liquidity and stake to potentially get a zkSync airdrop. You will need testnet tokens for this (see here for a guide). Then, connect your wallet to https://app.mute.io/– you will need to be on the zkSync network.
To swap tokens and buy $MUTE go to Swap. To add liquidity to the MUTE pool, go to Pool and click “Add Liquidity”, choose $MUTE and $ETH, then click “Manage” to go to the MLP (MUTE/WETH) pool. There, deposit some MUTE and ETH. To stake, go to the DAO tab and lock up your $MUTE. You can also go to Amplifier to stake your MUTE/ETH LP.
