In today’s guide, I’ll show you a step-by-step guide to qualify for the LayerZero airdrop.

You might have heard of the Stargate $STG token that LayerZero launched a while back. But one important caveat is that the $STF token is not the main token used for LayerZero’s crosschain infrastructure. Rather $STG only serves the Stargate Finance bridge, which is ONE application that runs on LayerZero.

That’s why I’ve put together this in-depth guide to help you qualify for the potential LayerZero $ZRO token which is rumored to be released this year.

Let’s jump into it.

1. Setup a Metamask wallet & Fund it 30-50$ ETH

2. Buy & stake STG

The next step is to get some $STG which is the governance token of StarGate finance. Don't worry you can buy a tiny tiny amount and still meet the requirement. I recommend buying it on a cheap network like BSC or Arbitrum, instead of Ethereum. This way you save on gas fees.

After you buy it, go to https://stargate.finance/stake to stake the STG Token. You can pick the shortest staking length of 1 month since it doesn't matter to us.

3. VOTE on stargate DAO proposal snapshot

Next, go to https://snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth which is the governance forum of StarGate DAO. On this page, all users who have staked $STG token can vote on governance proposals.

Pick one of the active proposals, read it if you want, and cast your vote.

This is also a good introduction to how DeFi protocol governance works.

4. Use stargate Bridge 5x-11x or more

Use bridge:

• Go to the Stargate and connect wallet ;

• Transfer your funds from one network to another;

• Select token and chain;

Note-1: You can use 0.05 usdt/usdc to bridge Matic to Fantom/Avax/Bsc-Chain that’s will do. (Just pay small fees around 0.5 to 1$)

Note-2: If you have fund volume 2000$+

5. Use others Bridges powered by LayerZero

LayerZero also powers the main bridges to and from the Aptos blockchain. The two main bridges are LiquidSwap and TheAptosBridge.

Since these two bridges are made for Aptos, you will need to set up a dedicated wallet for Aptos. The best wallet that I have tried for Aptos is the Pontem Wallet. It's also a browser extension just like MetaMask.

Once you're done setting it up, you should also buy a tiny amount of $APT and send it to your Aptos wallet. We will need this in order to claim the bridged tokens.

When you're ready, go back to the two bridges, then connect both your MetaMask wallet for Ethereum, and Pontem wallet for Aptos. Hit transfer and your coins will enter the bridge.

After 5 minutes, go back to both LiquidSwap and TheAptosBridge, and use the claim function to receive your bridged tokens.

Now you're done. If you want to transfer the funds back, you can use the same bridge to send it back to Ethereum.

6. Cros-chain swap on SushiX swap which uses LayerZero technology

Aside from bridges, LayerZero also enables cross-chain swaps which lets you buy a token on one chain and have it show up in another chain.

SushiSwap already integrated this feature, and we will try this next.

Go to https://sushi.com/xswap, and pick a swap pair. I tried swaping from ETH on Ethereum to USDC on Arbitrum. After about 5 minutes, I get the USDC on Arbitrum, pretty neat right?

7. Try LayerZero x Circel USDC Demo

The last app we want to try is the Circle USDC cross-chain demo. The USDC stablecoin has built a native bridge on top of LayerZero, so USDC can be transferred natively between all chains in the future.

You can find the demo here:

To try the demo, use the faucet buttons to get some testnet ETH and USDC first, then transfer some USDC over the bridge.

8. Join Discord

• Go to LayerZero;

• Click on the “Community”

• Next, click on “Join Discord”

9. Use Bitcoin Bridge

BUY BTC.B Here:

• Go to Bridge and connect your wallet;

• Connect an avax & aptos wallet;

• Swap between avax to aptos btc.b or use others chain like matic or fantom.

10. ETH Goerli Bridge To LayerZero

• Go to Bridge and click on “Connect”

Now ADD liquidity on uniswap 

1. Goerli eth to optimism geth

Now ADD liquidity on uniswap 

2.Goerli eth to Arbitrum geth

11. Try other LayerZero Dapps

Fundraising:

Project has raised $255 million from Sequoia, a16z, FTX, Coinbase and others. 

LayerZero does not currently have a token, and in this guide we will tell you about all the available actions that are likely to help you in getting an airdrop from the project.
