Yesterday, the ZKsync airdrop query was launched, and the project that had been interacting for more than two years was finally settled.
zkSync plans to airdrop 3.675 billion ZK tokens to early users and adopters, accounting for 17.5% of the total supply of 21 billion. A total of more than 690,000 addresses are eligible to receive them.
After the airdrop results were announced, some were happy while others were sad. Most people left disappointed; a few people got the airdrop, and the energy and cost they invested in long-term project interaction finally paid off.
Judging from the shares on Twitter, many freelance studios failed in the ZKsync airdrop, and almost all accounts received 0 airdrops.
Some airdrop bloggers have diligently operated dozens or hundreds of premium accounts and hundreds or thousands of ordinary accounts, but in the end they didn’t get a single zk airdrop.
Many people have repeatedly studied the airdrop rules, and finally came up with various interpretations of "rat trading" and "unfairness", but if there is no airdrop, there is no airdrop. The account has been hacked, and the time and energy invested have all gone to waste;
Some users continued to follow ZKsync for several years, paying attention to project dynamics and interacting continuously, but they died before the airdrop.
There are also some users whose mentality is almost broken, with all kinds of abuse and resentment, because they have paid in vain after all. No one can guarantee the results of the airdrop, and the airdrop is full of huge uncertainty.
According to the zk airdrop rules, users can obtain airdrop qualifications through contract interactions, defi staking, gitcoin donations, holding NFTs, and trading in ZKsync Lite in the zksync ecosystem;
You also need to keep a balance in the interactive wallet. If the interaction is completed, the wallet balance is zero and there is no airdrop.
It also has to go through multiplier and witch detection, and finally the airdrop quantity.
The airdrop rules do not seem to be very strict, but they screen out a large number of free-to-play studios, which makes the community feel quite unfair. Why do they meet the rules but still get no airdrop?
Chuxiao Chain has also been following zksync for more than a year, interacting with 4 accounts intermittently, and a total of 3 accounts received the minimum living allowance airdrop.
Without spending too much effort, there will naturally be no large airdrops.
A group member manually operated 100 accounts, and none of them were witched. Each account had a minimum income guarantee, and a total of 180,000 zk was obtained. There was no IP switching, no machine, and it was purely manual operation.
There is also a group member who manually interacted with 10 accounts, 8 of which were eligible for investment, and obtained a total of more than 20,000 zk, with the maximum number of accounts that obtained more than 9,000 ZK; another group member had 50 accounts, 7 of which were eligible, and obtained a total of 12,000 ZK.
There was also a poor group member who manually interacted with more than 20 accounts, but ended up being completely wiped out, not even getting a single ZK airdrop, and no one knew which link went wrong.
He used his home computer to mine IO some time ago. After deploying the account, he only mined for one day and actually got 77 IO, which was $300. He interacted with zk diligently, but got nothing. He mined IO for a day and got an unexpected surprise.
This is the real interactive market, and the opportunities to get rich overnight by taking advantage of airdrops are becoming increasingly rare.
Some people say that the zksync airdrop is over and expectations are dashed; it would be better if the zksync airdrop didn’t come. If there was no airdrop, there would still be expectations, but when the airdrop went online, it was directly declared to be zero.
Of the five most popular airdrop projects two years ago, only Layerzero remains.
I don’t know whether this highly anticipated project will be the biggest PUA or meet the expectations of most people.
The ARB airdrop was celebrated by all, allowing most people to get benefits and everyone was happy;
Although the STRK airdrop did not meet high expectations, it made some people rich. After the airdrop went online, some people wrote short essays to thank STRK for the profits and hope it brought.
ZK went online today, and it was met with almost abusive and unfair voices. I don’t know what the outcome of L0 will be.
With the rise of BTC ecology, inscriptions and runes have exploded; and the SOL ecology has occasionally popular MEMEs and airdrops;
The heat of the ETH ecosystem continues to decline, and various Layer2s seem to be becoming a thing of the past.
The crypto market is ever-changing. Yesterday’s rules and gameplay are quickly replaced, and new gameplay emerges in an endless stream.
Perhaps we should let go of our obsessions and re-understand the new ecology and hot spots; follow the trend and look for new trends and opportunities.
The above is just my personal opinion, not investment advice. I am Chu Xiaolian, and I am paying attention to the crypto market and web3.
