Potential zkSync Airdrop Guide – How to be eligible?
Welcome to cryptomarketblog, the number one blog for crypto education. Here we explain the topics of cryptocurrency using examples so that anyone can easily understand them. In this article we are going to show how to be eligible for zkSync Airdrop.
zkSync is a ZK rollup, a trustless protocol that uses cryptographic validity proofs to provide scalable and low-cost transactions on Ethereum. In zkSync, computation is performed off-chain and most data is stored off-chain as well. They raised $458 Million funding from many reputable global enterprises.
zkSync has already announced that they will launch their own native token in the future. There is a speculation that Users who’ve done the mainnet and testnet transactions may be eligible for an airdrop in the future. Airdrop is not guaranteed.
How to qualify for this airdrop?
zkSync now has 2 networks, zkSync 1.0 mainnet and zkSync 2.0 testnet. To qualify for airdrop you need to do transactions on both networks. Before starting the airdrop guide do below tasks.
