People make thousands of dollars from the $ARB airdrop.

However, if you miss it, don't worry.

Check out these new L1s that have yet to launch a token 🧵

1/ @zksync

zkSync is an L2 scaling solution that reduces cost and speeds up transactions while still inheriting the @ethereum security and finality by using ZK Rollups technology.

Vitalik once said that ZK Rollup is a technology that will do much better than OR.

What does zkSync offer?

• Transaction fees are 50 times lower than the main network on Ethereum.
• Friendly with smart contracts.
• Protected over 5 million transactions.
• Up to 2000 TPS.

The ecosystem of zkSync is increasingly expanding as more and more projects have been built on it. For more information, head to:

ecosystem.zksync.io

We are now in Fair Onboarding Alpha stage according to their public roadmap.

The Foundation team also confirmed that they will release the native token soon.

As there are no exact days for Full Launch Alpha, there is still a chance if you hurry.

2/ @LayerZero_Labs

Layer 0 protocols are essentially the infrastructure upon which Layer 1 blockchains can be built.

Layer 0 protocols are among many solutions aiming to fix the challenges the industry faces, such as scalability and interoperability.

What Problems can Layer0 solve?

• Interoperability
• Scalability
• Developer flexibility

Layer 0 protocols help to remedy the challenges faced by Layer 1 networks by creating a more flexible base infrastructure.

@LayerZero_Labs has successfully raised $135M in Series A, raising their valuation to over $1 billion and attracting more and more attention from the community.

LayerZero Labs also launched its first product – Stargate Finance, a multi-chain bridge built on Layer Zero.

Interacting with Stargate Finance might qualify you for something from LayerZero Labs in the future as this is their first product.

Keep in mind that they've not announced about releasing token yet, so there is a chance we won't receive anything. Do at your own risk.

3/ @Scroll_ZKP

Scroll is the layer 2 solution for Ethereum, using zk-Rollups technology to develop and solve the underlying scalability issue.

It is being built by some of the brightest dev and researchers on ZK.

Currently, Scroll's operating model has 3 parts:

• Scroll node: send proof of transaction from Scroll to Ethereum
• Roller Network: verify zkEVM proof to verify qualified transactions
• Rollup & Bridge Contracts: Allow users to transfer assets between Ethereum & Scroll

In general, Scroll has 3 outstanding features:

- EVM compatible
- Expandability
- Security

Currently, Scroll is in the testnet phase according to their roadmap.

With $80M raised, surely you should keep an eye on #Scroll and check their testnet program.

4/ @SuiNetwork

Sui just announced that they will go mainnet in Q2/2023

They also introduced The Wave to Mainnet to further educate the community about Sui's potential.

Sui is a new-generation blockchain, with a high-efficiency smart contract platform using a Monolithic structure.

A monolithic blockchain allows all interactions on a single network to achieve scalability & low latency.

With over $36M in funds raised and expecting $300M in fundraising from series B in the future, Sui is having a great ecosystem.

Outstanding features of Sui:
- MOVE programming language
- Narwhal & Tusk consensus
- Great TPS
- Stable gas fee
- Scalability

Although Sui claimed that they have no plans for Airdrop at this time, the community is excited about upcoming news & events from Sui.

Most of the time, Airdrop is proved to be an effective way to crawl users and transactions.

Therefore, Sui Airdrop should still be considered.

I hope you've found this thread helpful.
