Eligibility via MantaFest Treasure Cruise (22 Nov to 6 Dec) and Manta Takeover (30 Nov to 14 Dec)
I spent the last week analyzing upcoming L2 airdrops. 🪂
Based on my research, I identified an overlooked airdrop that is likely to be worth thousands. 💸
Are you ready for ALPHA, anon? 👀
New L2s seem to be emerging almost on a daily basis.
To bootstrap the ecosystem and drive adoption, many of them incentivize users (rekt by the bear) with much needed airdrops.
Airdrops like @OptimismFND or @arbitrum have made early adopters > $10'000.
Now, everyone is focused on @zkSync, @Scroll and @Starknet.
These will likely be massively overcrowded, reducing the amount of $$$ per eligible user.
So I continued to dive deeper.
What I found, was a project that has an Optimism Bedrock based optimistic rollup live.
It's currently integrating Celestia as a DA solution and will transition to a full zkEVM based on Polygon CDK soon.
Additionally, it is fully EVM equivalent, but through a universal ZK circuit integration, is able to support natively private zkApps, written in Solidity!
It is backed by @polychaincap & @BinanceLabs, and has recently raised USD 25M in a Series A round, valued at $500M!
It has reached a TVL of over $34M within only three months and is the 16th largest rollup by TVL (according to L2Beat data).
Still no one is talking about it. 👀
Most importantly though, the airdrop is confirmed and tasks to earn points and exclusive NFTs are live.
Commemorate your status as an early community member and secure a big payday for interacting with cutting-edge technology.
