If you ever held EIGEN, SCROLL, ZK, MATIC, STRK, or MINA, you might be eligible for the Aligned airdrop

I've built a mass wallet checker here:

No cookies, no tracking, no signatures

(there's 1 more day left to register claim, so check away). Context 👇 earndrop.io/aligned
126,000/890,000 addresses have already been registered - so there will be a lot left unclaimed

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!

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 🧵 $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:

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 👇 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

STARKNET $STRK AIRDROP IS OUT 🪂✨​​

2 mins ago, @Starknet finally published airdrop data. Checker is live, but claim is in 1 week.

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

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.

‼️🚨 Movement in @Starknet in the last 24hs:

• Airdrop claim page deleted, linked to official Starknet's domain

• Alleged eligibility criteria to include Ethereum Users

• Test Starknet proposal was posted yesterday by devs

• New governance portal live

What's happening 🧵 A Starknet $STRK airdrop page has been making rounds on Twitter this morning.

Eligibility criteria include Ethereum addresses that interacted with contracts that paid +100 ETH in fees.

Users are questioning its legitimacy as the page is no longer available.

20hs ago a new "L2" launched, it's called Blast, and it already has +60M in TVL.

Investors include Paradigm, @DegenSpartan — and it was created by Pacman, the people behind Blur.

Their airdrop has been confirmed. People are accumulating points right now.

How to participate: 👇 1/10

✅ @Blast_L2 is an ETH L2 incorporating "native yield".

You deposit ETH/stablecoins, and they automatically accrue interest.

Highlights→
• Created by Pacman, from Blur
• Raised $20M
• Backed by Paradigm, StandardCrypto, DegenSpartan
• $63M TVL <24 hs (aping appetite)

Aave found a vulnerability in their v2 and paused contracts.

Funds seem to be safe, but there might be forks that aren't.

Hackers are probably now analyzing all code to see if they can find the exploit before it gets patched/announced. Get out of all Aave forks, just in case. People in mainnet v2 cannot withdraw or deposit for now, out of an abundance of caution they've frozen contracts.

Activity and withdrawals will be resumed in the coming days following a governance proposal

Chainchat by Zapper is a new FT alternative. 💬

Zapper, which is backed by Marc Cuban, has created an application similar to FriendTech, but differs in how it distributes fees.

Airdrop Strategy: exploring Chainchat and the potential for a Zapper token and airdrop. 🪂 🧵 1/7

Chainchat 💬⛓️

Chainchat is onchain group chats or "channels".

To join a channel, you must buy a share.
To leave a channel, you must sell a share.

Users can buy/sell multiple shares, but only 1 share is necessary to be a member of the channel.

Starknet $STRK Delayed

StarkWare has delayed the first unlocks of Starknet $STRK token to April 15th, 2024.

With that said, these tokens belong to core contributors, early supporters of the StarkWare ecosystem and employees of StarkWare, and NOT to the general public.

Contract 📝

Looking at the contract, we can see the unlock date was pushed to April 15th, 2024, from November 29th, 2023.

friend tech is getting a lot of hype today, with top personalities' profiles swinging in share prices.

A similar dapp to Bitclout has emerged on Base. Bubble?

Let's explore:
• What is @friendtech ❓
• How it works ⚒️
• Get started ⚡
• Airdrop? 🪂

🧵 1/7

What is ❓

Friend tech is a new decentralized social media dapp built on Base, that "tokenizes" X (Twitter) personalities.

The dapp created by @0xRacerAlt is currently only available on mobile and invite-only.friend.tech

Users who followed my airdrop strategies got up to 10,250 ARB.

Others up to 32,000 OP.

You probably already know— BASE is a new L2, built by Coinbase.

@BuildOnBase opened Mainnet 7 days ago. It could have airdrop potential 🪂

BASE Airdrop Strategy: using Arbitrum Criteria 🧵 1/12

Airdrop Strategy ⚡

Arbitrum is the most recent Ethereum Layer 2 to airdrop. Let's apply Arbitrum's airdrop criteria to Base:

On this thread →

Use Base with:
☑ Volume
☑ Consistency
☑ Multiple dapps

Do:
☑ Bridge to Base
☑ Trade & LP on Base
☑ Collect on Base

Following Curve's exploit, Michael Egorov (Curve's Founder) has an active 80M USD loan, backed by 360M CRV (200M USD) that's at risk of liquidation.

MIM and AAVE are having emergency governance discussions.

1. He has been repaying debt
2. Did several OTC sales

CRV Updates 🧵⬇️ 1/23

PART 1 — DEBT STATUS UPDATE 🏦
PART 2 — OTC SALES
PART 3 — CURVE HACK TIMELINE
PART 4 — ABRACADABRA and AAVE EMERGENCY GOVERNANCE

There's a risk of a black swan event in DeFi.

As per Defillama, if CRV drops below $0.37, there's 300M CRV to liquidate in Aave -most from Curve's founder

The problem? There's not a single Exchange or DeFi protocol where one can sell such a large CRV amount.

Risks explained 🧵 1/13

How did we get here?

As the Curve founder, @newmichwill has hundreds of millions of CRV

Instead of market dumping for liquidity, he supplied it as collateral in other Lending Protocols, like Aave, where he staked 300M CRV and borrowed 60M USDT
