Most of you wont read this

Layer Zero Maxi @CC2Ventures allegedly crafted an L0 guide sheet too powerful for twitter

The compromise was to post a public wallet

Those willing to transcribe the txns = alpha

So thats what I did

How to craft a high-quality custom $ZRO route🧵
The easiest way to craft a route is to categorize the different types of L0 interactions

Then take various parts from each category and string them together

1/ @StargateFinance interactions

includes staking STG, snapshot voting, providing liquidity, using native bridge
2/ Cross chain swap dapps that use L0 contract

some of these route the volume through Stargate anyways but not always

this will also increase your total unique contracts

these include @_WOOFi @MugenFinance @OmniBTC @SushiSwap @lifiprotocol @BungeeExchange
WooFI (great for getting gas on new chain) followed by mugen, were the least painful to use in my experience

LIFI and Bungee are technically bridge aggregators but both are good tools and dont have a token yet, pick the stargate options when using them (L0 contract)
3/ "ERC-20 Core" Interactions

this generally involves buying a token of a protocol and using its bridge feature (which interacts with L0 contract)

you bridge that token to various other chains and then selling it (or interact with the dapps by staking, ect)
these are great "filler" interactions between your "main" interactions of just bridging volume cross chain

you dont want to be that guy who just spams stargate cross chain bridge interactions 5 times a day and does nothing else

some of these bridgeable tokens include:
agEUR from @AngleProtocol

$JOE from @traderjoe_xyz

$RDNT from @RDNTCapital

BTC.b from @BorderlessBTCb, (avax<->arbitrum has less slippage = you lose less money on swaps/bridging)

Optional: add liquidity (for min 1 week) to some of these dapps
From here it basically gets progressively more niche where youll be interacting with more niche dapps and chains, but generally the slippage is higher

some examples

$STEAK from @steakhut_fi (arb<->avax)
$MMY from @mummyftm (fantom)
$MIM stablecoin from @MIM_Spell (moonriver)
agEUR, JOE, RDNT, BTC.b were least painful for me, dont need to go overkill and youll need to play around with it a bit

Ex some may not hit chains that you havent already hit yet, sometimes the site is down or is buggy or there isnt support between certain chains anymore
4/ Aptos bridge

I put this in its own category as it should be put at the end of a rotation as it takes 5 days to get your funds back FROM Aptos (2.5 if you use bridge from L0 website)

L0 has its own Aptos bridge which is their only "main" bridge other than Stargate & BTC.b
So this type of interaction stands out to me

other Aptos bridges that use L0 but arnt by L0 include

@PontemNetwork @ThalaLabs and @PancakeSwap (bridge $cake doesnt have long wait time)
5/ Omnichain NFTs

Likely be a multiplier criteria

2 ways to go about this one

Buy an OG omninft collection on ETH mainnet

OG means thats its been around for a while and has some form of community or buy pressure that you can actually sell back into with minimal issue
Main ones are (from most to least expensive) Lil pudgies from @pudgypenguins, Gh0sts from @gh0stlygh0sts and Dinos from @tinydinosnft

Would only do this if you want a bigger ETH mainnet footprint and $30 gas per wallet is minimal funds for you
Alternative:

Various dapps that allow you to create/mint and bridge NFT on the "cheap EVM chains" which I call "the core 5" (bsc, poly, avax, op, arb)

@holographxyz @PolyhedraZK @l2telegraph @merkly_com

Try to bridge to more niche chains like zk sync era, polygon zkevm
BONUS

Splice in some form of ZK Sync Era interactions/footprint into the route

You should absolutely have some sort of footprint on zk, but this is a much longer-term play, token is easily 10+ months away

use @Orbiter_Finance, @layerswap (both tokenless) Woo, Bungee to bridge
Do the standard actions, makes some swaps add some liquidity if you can, not much to interact with currently

Main dapps right now are @syncswap @izumi_Finance @velocorexyz @mute_io

Short term: hit min 8 txns and $120 volume (& min $120 liquidity)

over time 21+ txns 1k+ volume
Ok cool, but thats a lot of info and ive already probably scrolled/clicked off this thread by now

So how do I use this to make my own routes?

Ex. of a short route would be:

-Initially fund your wallet with native gas for any of "the core 5" chains using a CEX (ideally) or Woo
-fund wallet with ETH on Arb
-stargate tasks (stake STG, add LP, vote snapshot) use stargate to bridge to OP

(use mugen or woo if you need to swap into native gas token for destination chain)
-ERC20 task - buy agEUR on Angle on OP and bridge to various chains (that have gas on them) ending on OP and selling agEUR

-Mint NFT via @holographxyz, bridge from BSC->polygon
-use aptos bridge, use L0 aptos bridge to bridge back

Start new rotation with different interactions
Your overall goal is basically

Do min 1 interaction from each category in any order (aptos is last though)

Eventually hit min the Core 5 chains

Eventually have 21+ txs, $10k+ in volume, 2-3+ distinct months, to pass thresholds that put you in the top ~60-70% of wallets
Some general tips I would also note are:

If you have to pick start with the "core 5" as the dapp compatibility and slippage is generally the best among these chains

interacting with just 3 different chains = above 46% of all wallets, 5 chains = above 72%

Avoid ETH mainnet
Dont spam high amounts of low volume txns

Dont spam all of the tasks/interactions within a route in a short time period (Ex. Arbitrum gave -1 point if all of a wallets txn history happened within 48hrs)

Dont use the same amount of $ or interaction pattern between wallets
Have ~$5 in native gas token on each of the Core 5 chains is best way to start = saves you time later

You can fund via CEX, or refuel tool from Bungee, or Woo if you have funds already on a Core 5 chain
You dont have to do the interaction categories in the order I listed them in, but save the Aptos one for the end due to wait time bridging FROM Aptos

Going to save the txn transcription & takeaways of the CC2 txn route for another thread because its long (20+ tweets in itself)
That's it, if you found this @info_insightful

Interact with the FIRST tweet in the thread and follow if you want to read more high-quality threads

I also make overview content on projects/platforms and web3 games

So youll have to endure that if you just want the airdrop stuff
@AngryBellick @CC2Ventures Sorry first "would" should be "wouldn't"

The quality of Web3 games and projects can be difficult to gauge

Developing or using a framework allows you to easily evaluate projects faster saving you time and money

Here are 8 research pillars you can use to make researching Web3 projects and games easier 🧵 Image
Well go over 8 categories

1/ Team
2/ Core Gameplay Loop
3/ Tokenomics
4/ Niche/Originality
5/ Reach/Scope
6/ Progress/Development
7/ Runway/Funding
8/ Is the product good, would you use it?

Score them 1-10 as you go through them

Be brutally honest and objective

Avoid bag bias
1/ Team

I love the "bet on people not promises" @HustlepediaYT ethos

It sums up well how important it is to bet on people with previous related experience and have a high chance of delivering

This is to protect yourself in a place where a lot of promises are sold as products

Many of the best Web3 tools are FREE

Combine them together to forge your infinity gauntlet of alpha

Here are 5 pairs of free tools you can use to make and save more money

A thread🧵 RT for others Image
@DeFiSaver + MM advanced gas settings

Defisaver lets you view the cost of gas in real time

MM has advanced gas settings that let you manually edit your gas price and preset certain gas settings

If gas is currently high and you want to move a nft edit gas to a lower gwei & wait Image
If you want to pump your gas you can save the preset to a high value to save precious seconds

you can enable 'Advanced gas controls' by going under MM settings->advanced

Defi gas saver: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

Blocknative is also a good gas tool: chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

Your wallet and IP address info are now actively being collected by metamsk when you send transactions

Consensys which own infura & metamsk updated their privacy policy recently

How you can easily create an alternative and protect your data for free while still using metamsk🧵
The amount of info collected by MM is alarming

Infura is the default RPC set up by MM, the RPC is what allows MM to talk and interact with the blockchain

thankfully we can use alchemy to set up our own RPC for free that we can use within MM when creating a custom network
1/ Sign up for a free account at alchemy.com

2/ Create new key/RPC URL, you will have one created by default depending on what network you initially picked

3/ Under 'Apps' you can create another app/network

As long as arbi team doesnt rug us people forget that the last week of arbi odyssey is battlefly

youll likely need a battlefly to do that weekly quest for the nft

currently 0.2% listed out of 30k supply

for comparison just the free week 1 nft has a 400k supply and has 10x
All the nft does is get you some discord roles ATM and is 1/8 of the odyssey event, went from 0.002 - 0.014

When odyssey gets restarted

And all the threadooors, engagement farmers are doing their $arbi guides

Telling them they need the nft

What do you think will happen?
