Airdrops have become a popular way for blockchain projects to distribute tokens to their users. The possibility of receiving free tokens often sparks excitement among crypto enthusiasts, and the Polygon ecosystem is no exception. In this article, we will delve into the details of a potential MATIC airdrop and how you can increase your chances of participating.
So, let’s explore the steps you can take to position yourself for the potential airdrop.
As with every airdrop, the main question sounds like “Is the airdrop confirmed?” As always, nobody knows. But, “There’s no rule that an existing token can’t do a massive airdrop” — Sandeep Nailwal, Co-Founder of Polygon
Step-by-step Guide
How do you increase your chances to receive the airdrop? Here’s a step-by-step guide based on experience with previous airdrops on the market.
- Add the Polygon zkEVM network to your wallet. You can easily do it here: https://wallet.polygon.technology/.
Or you can add Polygon zkEVM network directly on MetaMask:
- Open Metamask and click the network name located at the top-right of the window
- Click the Add Network button at the bottom of the pop-up window
-
Enter the following network details and click Save
-
Network Name: Polygon zkEVM
-
New RPC URL: https://polygonzkevm-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/your-api-key
-
Chain ID: 1101
-
Currency Symbol: ETH
-
Block Explorer URL: https://zkevm.polygonscan.com/
2. If you have funds on the Ethereum network or its Layer 2s, you can bridge ETH from Ethereum to Polygon zkEVM via the Native Bridge or other ecosystem bridges named below.
3. Usually, the more you interact with the Blockchain’s ecosystem, the more chances you get. Thus, you can additionally use other bridges to bridge ETH on Polygon zkEVM or swap some other tokens you have:
-
**Symbiosis: **Go to http://app.symbiosis.finance and bridge tokens to Polygon zkEVM.
-
**XY Finance: **Go to https://xy.finance/ and bridge tokens to Polygon zkEVM.
4. To raise your chances, you can interact with Polygon zkEVM dApps, for example:
- Quickswap:
Connect your wallet to Quickswap Exchange. Make sure you have switched to the network on Polygon zkEVM. Then, go to the Swap section and, firstly, swap ETH for USDC; and then swap the same amount of ETH for WETH. Afterwards, you may go to their Pool, select ETH and USDC tokens as the token pair, approve the tokens, and add liquidity.
- PancakeSwap:
Connect your wallet to PancakeSwap**. **To swap tokens on the Polygon zkEVM network, go to the Swap page. You can exchange any amount of any token. If you’re interested in providing liquidity, visit the liquidity page. You can choose from eligible pairs like USDC/WETH, USDT/WETH, WBTC/ETH, and USDC/ETH.
**5. **Since Rubic acts as an aggregator of cross-chain bridges, providers, and DEXs, we can simplify users’ entries into the Polygon zkEVM ecosystem. *Using Rubic will activate your wallet on zkEVM with at least 5 ecosystem protocols: XY Finance, Symbiosis, QuickSwap, PancakeSwap, and Rubic.
