here are some things you could still do to qualify for its future airdrop:
Step #1: Bridge as much as possible on the platform
You can use Orbiter Finance to bridge ETH across multiple Layer-2s, such as zkSync Era, Polygon’s zkEVM and StarkNET.
The fees should be rather cheap if you are bridging between Layer-2s like Polygon or Arbitrum, while Orbiter charges at most $5 USD per bridging transaction.
Step #2: Join Orbiter’s guild
You can join Orbiter’s guild that will allow you to receive a role on their Discord channel.
To get the Trainee Pilot role, you will need to perform at least 3 bridging transactions on Orbiter.
I will be trying to get the Pilot role by bridging at least 10 times, but don’t forget that each transaction will cost you some fees too!
Conclusion
These 2 steps could help you to get the airdrop when it’s live, and your role in Orbiter’s guild would most likely determine your token allocation.
Do you find it overwhelming to track all of the different airdrops that are available?
I’ve created an airdrop tracker of all the different networks and projects that I’m keeping an eye on,
The Consensys zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) (now rebranded as Linea) launched its testnet on the 28th of March, which was just one day after Polygon’s zkEVM launch.
Since it’s still in the testnet, you could possibly qualify for Consensys’ future airdrop without incurring any costs, and here are some of these steps you can do.
If you prefer a video guide, you can check it out here:
Step #1: Bridge your funds to Linea’s testnet
We are using testnet tokens, and you can get some Goerli ETH from a faucet, and then bridge it to this Layer 2.
The bridge that we’re using is the testnet version of Hop Exchange, and we can bridge our funds from Goerli to Linea.
You may need to pay some gas fees for this transaction, and depending on the congestion, it may take a while before your funds are bridged over to Linea.
If you need some Goerli ETH, check out my guide here where I show you some methods I use to get these precious tokens.
Step #2: Add the Linea network to Metamask
To view the tokens that you have on the Linea testnet, you will first need to add this network to your Metamask wallet.
This can be done by going to Linea’s documentation, and copying the network details that you see here:
Now that we can view our tokens, the next step is to perform lots of transactions on the network.
You can view all the decentralised applications that you can interact with in Linea’s ecosystem guide.
Another cross-chain bridge you can try out is Jumper Exchange. Similar to Orbiter, it seems that you can bridge your funds on Linea to either Goerli or the Polygon testnet.
The key is to carry out various transactions so that your wallet address will be whitelisted as an active contributor to the network, which could give you a greater allocation of the token.

The Metamask airdrop is one of the most anticipated token airdrops, and you can qualify for it by using some of the features on the portfolio dashboard.
The rumour is that the snapshot will be done on 31st March, so it’s best for you to complete these steps ASAP!
Here are the main steps you can do on the dashboard, as well as some other bonus steps you can perform outside of Metamask too.
If you prefer a video guide, you can check it out here:
Step #1: Using Metamask Swap
Metamask’s swap feature allows you to swap tokens on 6 different networks, including Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Avalanche, Arbitrum and Optimism.
On top of the high swap fee that Metamask charges, you will need to pay some gas fees for every swap.
Before interacting with any smart contract, you will also need to perform a token approval, and you can learn more about this in my video here.
Most users on Twitter suggest that you will need to make 4 transactions, with a total volume of USD $1,000.
Attention bounty hunters! if you happened to miss out on the $ARB#airdrop, the #MetaMask token presents a new opportunity. The following may potentially serve as the actual requirements: – Completion of at least 4 swaps through swap aggregator – Volume more than $1000 pic.twitter.com/NVQKF7RF5i
However, I do not have that many funds to play around with and the fees are too high, so I’ve only swapped around 100 USDC 6 times.
In total, I lost about 6 USDC in fees when swapping between USDC and USDT, and around $1 worth of fees that I paid to the Polygon network.
Step #2: Using Metamask Bridge
Metamask gives you the option to bridge your funds between the 6 networks mentioned earlier, like Ethereum, Polygon or Arbitrum.
This is done with their partner bridges, including the likes of the Celer Bridge or Hop Protocol.
I bridged my funds from the Polygon network to Avalanche, then to Arbitrum and Optimism, and finally back to Polygon.
The fees are quite high and it would cost you around 1 USDC per bridging transaction.
It may be good to perform 4 different bridging transactions, which could help you to qualify for the airdrop.
Step #3: Using Metamask Stake
Metamask allows you to perform liquid staking on the portfolio dashboard too, but this is currently only limited to Ethereum on Lido or Rocket Pool.
I’ve decided not to perform this step as the gas fees are just way too high to stake Ethereum.
You can find out more about staking Ethereum in my video here:
Step #4: Purchase an ENS Domain
I’ve been holding back from purchasing this domain for a very long time because of the high gas fees on Ethereum, but I’ve finally decided to get one for this airdrop.
The entire amount that I paid was about $10 USD in ETH for the actual registration (for 2 years), and around $20 USD of ETH for the 3 transactions involved in purchasing one domain.
This is just a rumoured step that could help you gain a large allocation of the airdrop, so it’s optional because of the high costs involved.
