LayerZero Airdrop Guide
LayerZero is a cross-chain solution, and it is also a possible airdrop project that everyone has been paying attention to recently. Here is a research and compilation of information for your reference.
Strategy
LayerZero is quite different from other projects. There is no direct reference strategy, and it basically focuses on interacting with related dapps. Unlike other chains, end users cannot directly use it, but indirectly generate transactions on LayerZero through interaction with other applications built on this chain.
After executing a transaction on the relevant application, it can be found in the LayerZero explorer. For example, I randomly pick a transaction, and I can see that he is using Stargate to transfer tokens from Arbitrum to Optimism.
So the strategy I’m going to pursue is to periodically generate transactions that can be found in the LayerZero browser. If the main goal is to achieve this, the most cost-effective way is to use Stargate to bridge from a cheap chain to another cheap chain. After testing, the cheapest way is to bridge USDC from Aribitrum to Polygon. The following are possible references that I speculate:
- Number of transactions
- Amount of the transaction
- liquidity provision
Wallet
Just use Metamask.
Application
It’s a pity that all relevant applications have already launched tokens.
Name | Token Launched | Type | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|
Stargate | O | Bridge | minimum value 0.000001 USDC |
Testnet Bridge | X | Bridge | minimum value 0.00000000000000001 ETH |
Bitcoin Bridge | O | Bridge | |
Harmony | O | Bridge | minimum value 0.00000000000000001 BNB |
Aptos Bridge | O | Bridge | minimum value 0.000001 USD |
Liquidswap | O | Bridge, Swap | Bridge contract is the same as above |
Radiant | O | Lending | |
Rage Trade | O | Perp | |
Angle | O | Stablecoin | |
Omnisea | O | NFT |
Cost
I mainly only interacted with Stargate and purchased the testnet ETH, because Linea activities can also be used.
Operation | Estimated Cost |
---|---|
Stargate Aribitrum Approve USDC | 0.00005 ETH |
Stargate Aribitrum Bridge USDC to Polygon | 0.00025 ETH |
Stargate Aribitrum Bridge USDC to Optimism | 0.00084 ETH |
Stargate Aribitrum Bridge USDC to AVAX | 0.00046 ETH |
Stargate Aribitrum Add Pool | 0.0001 ETH |
Stargate Aribitrum Approve Farm | 0.00005 ETH |
Stargate Aribitrum Stake | 0.00006 ETH |
Testnet Bridge Aribitrum | 0.0006 ETH |
Aptos Bridge USDC Approve | 0.00005 ETH |
Aptos Bridge USDC Aptos | 0.0007 ETH |
Total | 0.00316 ETH |
If you want the strategy of continuous interaction about one hundred transactions, you need a total of about 0.027 ETH, and you need to prepare a little USDC to transfer.
