How to participate in the mainnet test of Aztec Network, a project that has raised 110 million+

Zk.Money is the first application of Aztec Network, released in March 2021. Aztec is a zero-knowledge Rollup built with a privacy-first architecture, allowing users to access Layer 1 applications they want to use while fully protecting their privacy. Its product system is based on the underlying PLONK proof system, enabling anonymous transactions between accounts, and realizing privacy interactions with DeFi projects through the grafting of gateway contracts.

Aztec Network received $100 million in funding in December 2022

Previously, in December 2021 and November 2018, it received financing of US$17 million and US$2.1 million respectively, so it is considered a good project.

Without further ado, let's take a look at the detailed participation tutorial

step:

1. Register

Open zkmoney official website https://zk.money/

Click Shield Now

Link wallet and sign

Here we choose MetaMask wallet

Retrieve your key

Click Copy, then click Next Step

At this time, you need to set a nickname, select the recharge amount and the speed of arrival. If you are not short of money, you can choose the faster option.

(Note that all three options must be checked before proceeding to avoid duplication of user names, etc.)

Sign and your registration is complete.

2. Top up

After registration is completed, we will see an interface like this

We try to continue recharging, click the recharge window

This means the recharge is successful.

It is recommended that you deposit more than 3 times, and the total amount should not be less than 0.1 eth. This will not only increase the probability of receiving zk.money airdrops, but also allow you to receive sismo badges, which will increase your chances of receiving sismo airdrops.

Summarize:

1. The higher the deposit amount, the greater the chance of receiving an airdrop

2. The more times you top up, the greater the chance of getting an airdrop

3. Participate in more DeFi staking interactions to enrich the data on the chain

The operation in this issue is not complicated and is suitable for beginners to learn. I wish you all a smooth hair pulling.
