👀Arbitrum's Airdrop is about to change the game for new blockchains

But let's be real: without bridges, using these new L1 and L2 chains would be a nightmare. That's why I believe bridges are the unsung heroes of #DeFi

Today we'll be hunting for bridge AIRDROPS 🧵 1/20

2/ In this thread I'll cover:
• Orbiter
• Connext
• Bungee
• Stargate
• Aptos Bridge
• Li.fi / Jumper

3/ Theses on bridge airdrop:
• There have been such airdrops before, the most recent is Across
• These bridges have Guild/Crew3/Layer3 quests, as well as Ambassador programs
• There is VC interest - and as we know this is one of the most important criteria for possible airdrop

4/ All of this leads me to believe that rewarding early adopters is very likely. Let's get started.

❗Remember to always DYOR, even though there are no paid activities here, a network fee must be paid, so do it at your own risk.

5/ @Orbiter_Finance
I use this Bridge the most for fast transactions and small commissions

They have good partnerships and recently added Consensys zkEVM and Base test networks. The guys are developing rapidly.

6/ Even though they have been up and running for quite some time, I think it's still early. The 2200 users in the guild have 50-99 transactions. That's not much.

7/ What you can do:
• They have a Guild, link on their Discord
• Good criterion for drop - only ~2274 people have 50-99 transactions
• Transfer tokens between L2 networks to get it cheap enough
• Use it a couple times a week.

8/ @ConnextNetwork
They had an Ambassador program (which they may still have), indicating their desire to reward users.

Because, in my experience, projects of this caliber do not run an Ambassador program for no reason.

9/ They are followed by large foundations and significant projects. It's only a matter of time before an airdrop occurs.

10/ What you can do:
• Bridge
• Swap
• Pools
It is preferable to be in the top 30% of providers of liquidity because this will provide NFT and farm points.

To see how to get to the top 30%, use the dashboard from dune below👇

11/ @BungeeExchange
This aggregator is frequently used by me. It has a cool Refuel function that lets you transfer gas from one network to another

They have quests on #Layer3 and cool collaborations like DegenScore. So far only this quest is available with only 4800 participants

12/ What you can do:
• Bridge
• Refuel
• Do layer3 quests and keep an eye on other sites

13/ Stargate Bridge @StargateFinance
Is the main product of @LayerZero_Labs so far.

Layer zero is a true gem; not everyone recognizes its potential yet, but this thing will go viral soon, and an airdrop is 99% likely.

14/ What you can do:
• Bridge - again, the activity must be ongoing rather than a one-time event.
• Pool
• Farming
• Staking
• Guild (Look for it on discord)
• Snapshot voting

I don't use Farming, but I deposited funds in Pool and also staked.

15/ Aptos bridge @Aptos_Network

This Aptos official bridge is of particular interest to us because of the Aptos Airdrop

As previously stated, Aptos intends to distribute even more $APT to the community. Bridge use can be both airdrop criteria and direct airdrop for bridge users

16/ In conclusion, those looking for aptos airdrop must do so. For others, it's up to you. If you want a thread on #Aptos, I already wrote one 👇

17/ Li.fi / jumper
Another bridge aggregator. It may be too late to participate, but it is better to do a minimum activity.

In any case, keep an eye on their social media to see if they plan on giving away nft / layer 3 quests, etc.

•Swaps
•Refuel

18/ I'm confident that at least four of the projects on this list will provide airdrops by the end of the year. However, this is not a financial advice; proceed at your own risk.
