Airdrop Insider Roundup #11 - Optimism Is Super Cheap Now
Gas fees now cost less than 20 cents, which is really great.
Hey guys,
I used to wonder why Optimism and Arbitrum are so popular, given their high gas fees as compared to Polygon.
With the latest Bedrock upgrade, the gas fees on Optimism have been significantly reduced, and are almost as comparable to Polygon.
Some of my transactions cost less than 10 cents, which was not possible before the upgrade.
I would recommend completing quests on RabbitHole if you’re keen on getting the next OP airdrop.
Moreover, you can mint this commemorative NFT on Manifold, which could be useful in the future.
You will need to pay a mint fee of 0.0005 ETH, which is about 92 cents.
The minting will last until 17th June, so it’s best to do it asap!
What I did this week
Here are the main activities that I did to potentially qualify for these airdrops:
ZetaChain
A new DEX has been launched on the ZetaChain network (CrestSwap), where you can swap tokens, add liquidity and stake some CPT2.
Another DEX you can try out on ZetaChain is TowerSwap, and check out my guide on the ZetaChain airdrop here.
Tabi
If you missed the BLUR airdrop, this could be something you don’t want to miss as they’ve already hinted at possible airdrops if you complete certain quests.
Prerequisite: BNB on the BNB Smart Chain to claim NFTs
I have a YouTube and text guide on Mirror where you can find out more about this potential airdrop.
zkSync Era
I completed this quest on Layer3, where I needed to bridge USDC from both Arbitrum and Optimism to ETH on zkSync Era.
However, this quest has already expired, do subscribe to my Telegram channel where I give live updates for such time-sensitive campaigns.
There’s yet another domain DApp on zkSync (zkSync ID), where you can mint a domain for $10 in ETH without any renewals.
You can use the code ZKSYNCID70 to get the 70% discount.
For more info, check out my guide on the zkSync airdrop here.
StarkNET
The latest quest for Braavos is to get a free .braavos.stark domain.
Join the Braavos Zealy questboard to get special roles on Discord which could help you with the Braavos airdrop if it happens.
You can claim the next Argent Explorer NFT here,
and the next quest you’ll need to complete is on briq.
You’ll need to mint an NFT with at least 10 briqs, and it cost me around $2.10.
Based on the demand for briqs, minting them may cost much more. If that happens, you may want to wait a while before the price goes down.
My first transaction failed, and the second one managed to go through, so you may have to perform the transaction a few times before it gets accepted.
For more info, check out my guide on the StarkNET airdrop here.
LayerZero
WooFi is one of the projects that integrated LayerZero, and you can perform a cross-chain swap to complete a quest on Layer3 (sign up using my referral link if you don’t have an account yet).
I bridged ETH from Polygon to Arbitrum, and it cost me around 1.2 MATIC.
There are tons of other Layer3 quests for LayerZero which you can complete, and this could help you get a higher allocation of $ZRO when it is released.
A new DApp (Altitude) has been launched on LayerZero too, and it’s eerily similar to Stargate Finance.
It’s still on its testnet, and you can check out my complete text guide on Mirror here.
On the mainnet, there’s a new MIM bridge powered by LayerZero.
I would suggest bridging between Polygon and Avalanche as they have the lowest gas fees.
For more info, check out my guide on the LayerZero airdrop here.
Linea
This week’s Voyage quest is rather straightforward, and you’ll need to complete 3 different quizzes to claim the maximum number of points.
If you’d like to get the answers to the quizzes, they can be found in my Telegram group here.
For more info, check out my guide on the Linea airdrop here.
Scroll
There’s a new Layer3 quest where you can swap on SyncSwap on the Scroll network to complete this mission.
For more info, check out my guide on the Scroll airdrop here.
Base
I bought a .base domain on Base Name Service,
and then claimed this OAT on Galxe.
There’s a minting cap for this OAT, which I mentioned in my Telegram channel, so do join it if you’d like to receive live updates on these exclusive quests.
Moreover, I’ve minted this Mirror post,
which cost me 6 cents in ETH when the Gwei was around 22.
I’ve also minted the Vaissel NFT on the Base testnet.
After that, you can get the Vision Pioneer role in Vaissel’s Guild.
DackieSwap is a DEX on Base, and you can complete quests on Galxe and Zealy to earn QuackPoints.
They hinted in a tweet that you could get an airdrop based on the number of QuackPoints you have.
Check out my guide on Mirror for more information.
Lastly, there’s a Layer3 quest that you can complete by swapping on Odos.
For more info, check out my guide on the Base airdrop here.
Arbitrum Nova
I completed this Galxe quest on Symbiosis where I needed to make a cross-chain and on-chain swap on the Arbitrum Nova network.
Galxe
If you hold some GAL tokens, Galxe has a new proposal on Snapshot that you can vote for,
and you can claim an OAT afterwards.
NFT Mints
XION is a new Layer1 blockchain, and you can complete some tasks on Galxe to earn some OATs.
Check out my complete guide for XION on Mirror here.
AltLayer has released the second round of its Altitude campaign,
and you can find out more in my Mirror guide.

🔗 Zealy links
Zealy (previously known as Crew3) is a questboard that allows projects to create tasks for you to complete, earning you some XP.
The level that you have for each dashboard may be a prerequisite to qualify for a certain allocation of the airdrop, and you can check out some of them below.
