zkSync stands as one of the most eagerly awaited projects, potentially offering a retroactive airdrop to early users.
Our website already houses several articles on quests within the zkSync network. However, the project's ecosystem is rapidly evolving, with the TVL (Total Value Locked - the amount of locked funds) reaching a significant milestone of $190 million.

Today's article delves into additional activities that could potentially grant you a retroactive airdrop from zkSync.

Smart Contracts Deployment

A key success metric for any project is testing its own smart contracts. Drawing from Arbitrum's experience, zkSync could potentially boost rewards for users who deploy smart contracts under ERC20 (standard token) and ERC721 (NFT) standards.

There are two avenues to accomplish this task:

  • OpenZeppelin and Remix Ethereum. The former allows you to create a smart contract template, while the latter enables its deployment.;

  • Thirdweb.  This automated platform simplifies the deployment of smart contracts, requiring no coding on the user's part.

Another common criterion for distributing a retroactive airdrop often involves providing liquidity for DEX. If you're unwilling to invest real money, you can create 2 tokens and list them on a decentralized exchange. This way, your wallet records activities related to both contract creation and liquidity interaction.

Interport

This cross-chain bridge also doubles as a decentralized exchange. Actions available here include:

  • Asset transfers between networks;
  • Token exchanges;
  • Token farming, encompassing stablecoins.

Interport's integration within the Layer Zero ecosystem implies that engaging with this platform heightens your chances of earning rewards from two networks simultaneously.

This is an NFT marketplace within the zkSync network where you can accomplish various tasks:

  • Mint your own NFT;
  • Purchase an NFT from the marketplace.

Given that transactions in the zkSync network only cost a few cents, opting to purchase an extremely low-cost token ensures this action contributes to your overall activity and appears in the explorer.

This service parallels the Ethereum Name Service, facilitating the acquisition of a shortened domain for your account. The domain costs $6, with an additional $2 transaction fee.

A gaming universe within zkSync. UInside Tevaera, users are able to:

  • Acquire a digital game passport - the Citizen ID NFT;
  • Purchase the in-game currency KP$.
  • Participate in games and fulfill quests.

As new games are routinely introduced in Tevaera, we recommend regularly visiting the site and partaking in new activities.

Ecosystem Activities

Certainly, there are already scores of projects on zkSync, each with its own particular tasks that can be undertaken. At the time of writing this article, DefiLlama lists 55 projects, including bridges, DEXs, NFT marketplaces, games, and more.
Furthermore, the official site's "Ecosystem" section offers an inventory of active apps on zkSync. The more interactions a user carries out, the higher their likelihood of getting a retroactive airdrop, and presumably, the greater the volume of their reward.
