Working with accounts

For financial and time diversification, I suggest ranking accounts by type: main accounts (take the maximum number of drop criteria available to you), medium accounts (take 50-60% of the drop criteria, this is the basis of the farm), poor wallet (the cheapest accounts to create, which take minimal number of drop criteria or do not pass at all).

In Starknet, zkSync you can also use the same percentage of accounts as LayerZero: up to 5% Main accounts, 20-35% Medium accounts, the rest are poor wallet. After the LayerZero airdrop is released, the percentage ratio can be revised in the direction of quantity (more poor wallet) or quality (more medium accounts).

Let me remind you that the logic of this division is as follows: if the drop will be massive and the difference between the maximum and minimum airdrops will be up to 10x, then we have enough poor wallets, if the selection criteria will be very strict (as a consequence, all cheap wallets will be shaved off), then medium accounts are very likely to get the drop and pay off the cost of poor wallets.

Account ranking

For competent resource allocation, experienced retrohunters often resort to dividing their accounts by quality type (high, medium, low). Sometimes it helps to save a lot of time and financial costs. The name for each type of account depends on a person's imagination, in my guides I will most often stick to the following names: mains/main (high quality accounts), medium (medium quality), poor wallets (low quality). All account types together are most often only used in large ecosystem projects.

Main accounts

These are "well-warmed" accounts that you have been using for a long time, the number of such accounts most often does not exceed 1-2% of the total number, you can have only one such account, the one that is always at hand, on them you can constantly keep a significant balance in cryptocurrency (you can buy a separate cold wallet). In ecosystem projects with the help of this type of accounts you knock out the maximum number of possible multipliers (within reasonable limits, available under your time and financial resources), it is with the help of this type of accounts you can withdraw large sums in DeFi, test possible ideas, link the main networks, exchanges, link to your identity (KYC/AML/BAB), etc., with the help of this type of accounts you perform everything as well as possible, within reasonable limits.

Medium accounts

These are also "heated" accounts, typically when talking about farm size, it is the number of mid-sized accounts that is meant. The balance often has enough native coins on various networks to pay for gas for a few months in advance, working capital is raised as needed. In large ecosystem projects, 50-60% of possible multiples are take from this type of account. In addition to the most interesting projects, average and below-average projects can be made from medium accounts. In other words, mid-sized accounts are the core part of your farm that takes the most time to work on.

Cheap/poor accounts

These can be unheated, newly created wallets, which are used in large ecosystem projects with high priority for you. The task on these wallets to make the minimum activity with the lowest spend and get into 10-20% of multipliers, that is, these accounts claim the minimum airdrop from the project, or are completely eliminated. As the farm expands, cheap-type wallets can be transferred to the medium type (since by that time they are already minimally warmed up), and new cheap-type wallets are created instead. As a rule, in large ecosystem projects there are more sibyl-type wallets. The logic behind this is simple: if there will be a mass drop and the difference between the minimum and maximum drop will differ only tenfold, then cheapers will be more cost-effective than main and medium accounts, if the difference between the minimum and maximum drop will be significant (x20-30), or if cheap accounts will drop out, then medium accounts will compensate for the cost of cheap wallets and bring a decent drop. Maines are needed if the minimum and maximum drops will differ by 50 or more times, or if the developers will introduce KYC for rewards.

We have repeated the base, now let's move on to

Grading accounts:

Mains

• 50-100+ transactions and interactions with different smart contracts

• 10-50k$ total transactions on the network

• 10-50k$ total liquidity volume on the network (leave more than 1k$ in the pool)

• 10-50k$ volume driven through the bridge

• Use of official bridge (both ways)

• Asset in zkSync Lite network (just in case 10+ transactions and 5k volume)*

• After the primary asset 1 transaction (any) once a week

As said before - you don't need to make a large number of main accounts, they are usually less cost-effective in terms of time and money compared to medium accounts. If your deposit or availability of free time does not allow you to fulfill all the criteria - you can skip them, the point of a main account is that it is the highest quality account in your farm (I also haven't fulfilled all the criteria yet, I haven't run the maximum volume). Since zkSync is an L2 solution on Etherium, your mains should be warmed up including in the main network ERC20, some or all of the volume should preferably be brought in through an official bridge from the Etherium network. The cost of such a mains account can reach up to 100-200$.

Medium Accounts

• 20+ transactions and interactions with various smart contracts

• <10k+ volume on the network

• <10k+ bridge volume

• <10k+ volume of liquidity provided

• Use of an official bridge (can be one way from zkSync Era)

• Activate an account on the zkSync Lite network + leave a small balance

• After the main asset 1 transaction (any) every 2 weeks

These are the central accounts in your farm, they should also preferably be warmed up (interaction should be not only in zkSync network), but if you have just created these accounts - also do not immediately bother with warming up, before the release airdrop zkSync, most likely you repeatedly use these accounts in other projects, etm thus warming them up. The cost of such an account will take ~30-50$ (depending on the gas).

Poor Accounts

• 10+ transactions/interactions with smart contracts

• Activity once every 2 weeks (you can hit all 10+ transactions this way)

• 1k+ network volume and 1k+ bridge volume

This type of wallet may not be "warmed up" at all and only used in this project. Costs per account ~10-12$, such accounts can be run by software, here the main criterion is the number and minimum cost. As the account warms up, poor accounts can be transferred to the rank of medium-accounts, in their place creating new cheap wallets. Recall that the date of "registration" of the account in the network is the date of the first transaction in this network.

All of the above criteria are individual and can be modernized according to your financial and time capabilities - the criteria themselves can be changed, for example, the number of transactions, volume, percentage of accounts, some criteria can be removed altogether.
