Airdrop Strategy: Aptos Edition 🪂

@aptoslabs is a new L1 blockchain, launched in 2021.

They received +350M in funding from the likes of FTX, Jump, a16z.

No token yet, but they plan to lauch $APT

On this thread: how to use Aptos, and 4 bonus no-token protocols to try!

🧵👇
On this thread, quick and easy:

• What is Aptos exactly
• How to participate in testnet and potentially get 500 $APT tokens
• How to install wallet (MM not supported)
• 4Birds1Stone to try on this new blockchain: @martian_wallet, @TopazMarket, @vialprotocol, @PontemNetwork
1/12

Aptos is a new blockchain focusing in scalability.

ROADMAP

Q1 2022: Developer testnet launch (March 15)
Q2 2022: Incentivized testnet launch (right now ⭐️)
Q3 2022: Mainnet launch (Sept-Oct)

Although in testnet, there are still things to try to get $APT & other airdrops
2/12

FUNDING

Aptos raised 350M from investors like @a16z, @circle_ventures, @jump_, @FTX_Official, @multicoincap, @apolloglobal

For comparison, Solana raised 25M before launch

This could be a big VC dump, so careful with hype when $APT starts trading in a few months
3/12

TECH

The team consists of people with ties to Diem/Novi, Facebook's dead crypto project.

They have their own programming language, called "Move", formerly used by @DiemAssociation.

Many Solana developers are allegedly fleeing to Aptos.

They claim to have 160K of TPS
4/12

INCENTIVIZED TESTNET 🪂

There will be 4 rounds of "Incentivized Testnets" where users can run a node and get $APT when the token launches.

Aptos recently concluded Incentivized Testnet Round #2, with 225 participants. Each of them is getting 500 $APT tokens.
5/12

INCENTIVIZED TESTNET 🪂

Registrations for round #3 open in August 15 📆

How does this work?

• Users register to participate in testnet
• They get accepted by the team
• They meet the requirements for the round (to be published)
• They get $APTOS when token launches
6/12

INCENTIVIZED TESTNET 🪂

If you are interested in participating, monitor their Medium or follow me @OlimpioCrypto, I will post as soon as #3 opens.

For context, these were the requirements for Testnet Round #2, which concluded last week.

APTOS PROTOCOLS

There are a few protocols to try on their testnet. They could also launch tokens in the future.

• Wallet: @martian_wallet (no token yet ⭐️) chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

• Get $APT testnet tokens and let's start.

• Explorer: explorer.devnet.aptos.dev
8/12

@TopazMarket is an NFT marketplace. Aptos team minted 1M NFTs in an hour just to test the blockchain.

Strategy:

• Buy or create an NFT topaz.so/explore-collec…

Discord: discord.gg/Mp4u3nnPas

No token yet ⭐️
9/12

@vialprotocol is a lending protocol, similar to Compound or Aave.

Strategy:

• Lend/borrow assets vial.fi/app
• Get WBTC and USDC testnet tokens from vial.fi/tools

Discord: discord.gg/BVEKQnH9Es

No token yet ⭐️
10/12

@aptosnames is a name service provider, just like ENS. Now they are live on devnet.

Strategy:

• As simple as it seems: just go ahead and get an "name.aptos" on aptosnames.com. Names reset every week.

Discord: discord.gg/jazv2k4t2g

No token yet ⭐️
11/12

@PontemNetwork is a DEX, just like @Uniswap.

Strategy:

• Swap tokens on liquidswap.com

⚠️ Heads up, they don't support @martian_wallet, so you have to install theirs. I wonder why - @PontemNetwork a comment?

Discord: discord.gg/VVMZf96pWm
12/12

Other protocols to keep an eye on, that are NOT live on testnet yet: @ThalaLabs, @AptoSwap_org, @ultimaprotocol, @hippolabs__, @LaminarMarkets, @FewchaWallet, @econialabs, @ZaptosFinance

Airdrop Strategy #49: @MovementLabsXYZ (ETH L2)

💰 Raised: $40M
💻 Stage: incentivized (!!) testnet
🪂 Airdrop: confirmed by the team

Similar to Arbitrum and Optimism, Movement is expected to be one of the big L2 launches of the year. How to take action now 👇
1/9

Movement is both:

• a Network where apps can launch their own Rollup. Example: dYdX wants to create a dYdX Chain, it could launch here w/ the network benefits of Movement

• its own Ethereum L2 (called M2), inside of the Movement Network, called M2. Here is the testnet!
2/9

Side note: We've invested in Movement 👀

In an unexpected move, @Zerion launched ZERϴ - a ZK rollup chain. Powered by @zksync.

Testnet open right now. Not much to do yet.

$ZERO token? 🪂 Not confirmed at all and not mentioned in the docs anywhere. Yet

Here is how to bridge and interact 🧵Image
$ZERO token? 🪂

Not confirmed at all and not mentioned in the docs anywhere.

As with all chains, and as with all teams, I assume they will eventually launch one. That they will reward testnet users is less likely, so spend your time with caution. Strategy below:
Testnet: open right now

1. Get Sepolia ETH from any of these faucets:

2. Use the official ZERO bridge to transfer the ETH:

3. Block explorer: docs.zero.network/build-on-zero/…

New Blast multiplier announced yesterday.

Status update - reaching 1 billion points in 12 days, just short of the TGE. 13,000 gold.

How to get the multiplier 👇 Image
How to get it?

There's three choices - I boosted a collection in Blastr for 0.01 and refunded immediately (got the 0.01 back) and that triggered it Image
In case you missed it there's also the GameFi boost, the easiest way to get it is to duel someone in Cambria. Image

FUD for Ethereum? ⚡️

Some projects to stake $ETH, potentially getting an airdrop. 2024 is speculated to be a big airdrop year.

Blast, EigenLayer, Morpho, Kelp, MEV, Diva, EtherFi, Swell — they will all have a token.

Let's counter ETH FUD with an alpha Airdrop ETH thread 🧵
1️⃣ BLAST @Blast_L2

Created by Blur's founder. Backed by Paradigm and other angels. Almost 1B TVL

I saw big whales deposit, so I sent a few ETHs😂. To consider: Blur's airdrop was huge. Note: can't unstake until Feb'24

Non-expiring invite code: (2RFFN) blast.io/2RFFN

1️⃣ BLAST @Blast_L2

Controversy with this one. When you "deposit", you are in reality just sending assets to a multi-sig, no L2.

This caused statements from Blast:
and Paradigm:

Similar to Celestia:

• Avail from Polygon, and
• EigenDA from @EigenLayer

INCENTIVIZED testnet in @AvailProject has already started. Incentivized = token rewards?

TIME SENSITIVE: EigenLayer is increasing restaking caps today!

What is a Data Availability Layer 💾

A Data Availability (DA) Layer is a specialized layer that ensures data, such as transaction details, is stored and accessible in a decentralized manner.

0xngmi said it best, think Dropbox but for chains.

First Project: Avail Project, spun out of Polygon 👇
