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. Complete quests on zkSync’s Crew3. 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.

zkSync portal portal.zksync.io/ 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 Bridge funds to zkSync at https://lite.zksync.io/ by connecting your wallet. Then, top up your balance using the zkSync bridge. You can also try using other bridges in the zkSync ecosystem such as Orbiter Finance and ZigZag Exchange.

Bridge funds to zkSync Bridge funds to zkSync 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:

Orbiter Finance is a decentralized cross-rollup layer-2 bridge that supports zkSync as well as Arbitrum. You can send ETH, MATIC, BNB and other tokens to zkSync and other layer-2 blockchains via the bridge.

With SpaceFi, users can also swap assets, farm rewards, mint, and stake Planet NFTs, join or create a spacebase, and invest in new projects. SpaceFi has already launched 30 million $SPACE on Evmos mainnet, and will be launching 30 million $SPACE on zkSync 2.0 (i.e. zkSync Era) when mainnet goes live. The team have also confirmed they will be doing an airdrop.

Since the protocol is already live on zkSync testnet, it may be a good idea to interact with SpaceFi in anticipation of when zkSync Era mainnet goes live. To interact with SpaceFi, request testnet tokens here. Then connect your wallet to Space.io, swap some $tSPACE tokens. Then, add liquidity to their pool.
