🚨 Airdrop: last chance to qualify

GM everyone. This is 2036. We scroll for gems all day so you don’t have to.

Here’s what we’re serving up today 🍲: many of us are waiting for the Linea airdrop. But the opportunity to qualify won’t be around forever. Here’s your last-minute guide to participate.

Let’s dig in.

We’ve talked about airdrops before - here, here and here.

Many new crypto projects raise VC funding and use part of the money to incentivize adoption.

In exchange for using protocols early, crypto users are rewarded with free crypto tokens transferred to their wallets. No, it’s not a scam, and no, you don’t have to pay for these tokens.

All you need is curiosity and time - which is why airdrops are hugely popular in crypto. Some savvy users are making 5, 6, or 7-figures a year.

The process is simple - in theory.

You add a new blockchain to your Metamask wallet, bridge over some funds, and start using the blockchain for trading, swapping, staking, minting NFTs, etc.

The hard part is staying consistent.

But this is important because to increase the value of your airdrop, you need to maximize:

• bridging volume

• transaction volume

• transaction frequency

… which means doing transactions weekly, and sometimes daily.

But if you’re game, airdrops are one of crypto's best ‘high reward/low risk’ strategies.

And there’s one airdrop in particular we have our eyes on… 👀

Linea is a layer 2 protocol aiming to scale Ethereum - to make it faster and cheaper.

Now - there are a lot of competitors in that space. But Linea has raised $727 MILLION from VCs.

That’s a lot of moolah, even for crypto.

And VC funding size is one of the most important signals of a big airdrop.

Linea has already launched their main net - which has nearly $30M of Total Value Locked across over 100 protocols - 10X in 3 months.

We could be wrong - but we expect the airdrop to be juicy.

Here’s how to qualify:

1/ Bridge some funds over to Linea using the official bridge 🌉.

Make sure you’re on the Ethereum network, or you might get an error message when trying to bridge your funds.

2/ Swap assets on Syncswap or Pancakeswap 💱.

You can buy any assets you like and switch them back and forth - it doesn’t matter.

What matters is volume and frequency.

This time, make sure you’re on the Linea network.

If you’re feeling frisky, you can even add funds to a liquidity pool.

3/ Trade NFTs on Element 🖼️.

You could technically mint your own NFT on Linea using NFTs2me.

But to simplify it, just trade a few NFTs.

Of course - the bigger the amounts, the more volume you do, and the more consistent you are - the bigger your airdrop rewards will be.

And that, friends, is how you qualify for the Linea airdrop.

The opportunity to qualify for this airdrop won’t be around forever.

It’s better to take advantage of it while it lasts. And you’ll want to be consistent until then.

To maximize your airdrop rewards, check out the biggest protocols on Linea using Defillama and play around with the ones you find interesting.

Again - we’re optimizing for volume and consistency.

We’ll keep you updated on any upcoming airdrops you can be early to.

In the meantime, happy airdrop hunting.
