Now, scolding Zk seems to be politically correct, because nine out of 10 people have no airdrops. Scolding him means politically correct, with traffic, support, applause, and a moment of speed.
However, very few people really calm down and review the airdrop rules of zksync. Some don’t want to understand, some really don’t understand, and some half-understand and half-do not understand. The main reason is that the airdrop rules of zksync are too complicated, and it is indeed not really explained clearly in Chinese Twitter.rule.
So, what is this extremely complex airdrop rule?Why do so many people swear at him?Why did this rule wipe out 90% of people?
1. Preliminary exploration, a ball of paste
At first, our small group of 50 people had a long discussion, and they were all well-known professional hair masturbators on Twitter. The conclusion was:
Most of the combined LPs are available, but some do not, so LPs may be a decisive factor, but not an inevitable factor. Some combined LPs do not, so the rules are not clear.
In the following days, I found a lot of reviews on Twitter.
Among them, the most comprehensive one is @sunlc_crypto:
https://x.com/sunlc_crypto/status/1801542409068953859
His conclusion is:Using the case of ten people to prove whether the airdrop is airdropped has a lot to do with the average daily amount of currency holdings. It can basically explain most cases, indicating that his analysis is very close to the truth.However, his dozen or so high-quality numbers are very large, and most of them have no airdrops. He attributed the reason to the project party’s intentional rejection, and made the airdrop rules chaotic.
Also, the one that is written more accurately is @Naive_BNB
https://x.com/Naive_BNB/status/1801219795322564878
He really understood the rules and summarized four rules.However, it is not comprehensive and has not explained the logical relationship between the four rules clearly.
So, there is a magical fog in the entire Chinese Twitter, and no one can really explain the rules of zk:
Or the rules are unclear, is it related to LP?Or the rules are too complicated, is there any relationship with the balance?Anyway, no one understands it, a ball of paste, @zksync @TheZKNation If you don’t get sprayed, who will get sprayed?!!
So what are the real airdrop rules?There are several reliable sources of information:
1. Official blog(This is the most authentic official interpretation. If you don’t have time, you can skip this here directly, because I will analyze it one by one below):
① Summary version: https://blog.zknation.io/zk-token/
②More detailed version: https://docs.zknation.io/zk-token/zk-airdrop?ref=blog.zknation.io#usage-based-airdrop
They are all in English, and few people read them carefully.
2. Official 9 questions and Chinese translation reports of panewslab
https://docs.zknation.io/zk-token/zk-token-faq
Damn, the official also issued a Chinese version of the question response:
https://docs.zknation.io/zk-token/zk-token-faq/zk-dai-bi-chang-jian-wen-ti-jie-da
This is a Chinese report from Chinese panewslab:
https://www.panewslab.com/zh/articledetails/4jvhw9wd.html
If you read it through, you will find that there is a huge information gap between airdrop rules, English and Chinese.
2. Airdrop rules and formulas:
(0-7)✖️(0-N)✖️(nX)=Airdrop quota
Let’s talk about the conclusion first. The real airdrop rules (the interpretation is mainly the allocation of ZKsync users’ airdrops, accounting for 89% of the total airdrop, and the other contributors such as participating in the conference and github are not within the scope of discussion) are the following formula:
zk official said that the airdrop rules have the following four steps:
Among them, the first three parts are the three elements of this formula:
1. Basic conditions 2. Daily average assets 3. Multiplier
It should be noted that these three elements are multiplier relationships, not addition and subtraction relationships!
If any element is 0 points, then the airdrop you get in the end is 0.
The last one is 4. Witch Rules Through the above three parts, the witch has actually filtered 95%, so the witch rules of zk are relatively simple.It is just distributed with the same number, the basic witch killing strategies.No more details.
Below is a widely circulated Chinese translation picture:
The following explains the three factors of the formula one by one:
The first factor (0-7): These are 7 basic threshold conditions. If one is satisfied, 1 point will be added, the lowest is 0 points and the highest is 7 points.
Analyze the 7 basic conditions one by one, let’s take a look at the ox:
①Interaction of 10 era contracts.
That is to say, you need to interact with more than 10 dapps. This tests the in-depth interaction of the ecology, which is actually quite difficult. If you only use 9 dapps, then all of them are 0 points.
I attach great importance to this and I have indeed done it.
I wrote a few, and this is one of the tutorials I wrote at that time:
https://x.com/AirdropCatCom/status/1681567534116646913
There should be 10 dapps, you can see the following picture:
② Use paymaster 5 times.
This is still very difficult. Many kols mentioned this point at that time, but I guess most people just used it once or twice. I only used the main number one number several times, and I tested it just to write a tutorial.Several dapps, this is a paymaster tutorial written specifically at that time:
https://x.com/AirdropCatCom/status/1763225094393147535
But I did not do any small account, and I only did monthly active users. I only used the small account once or twice, but failed to meet the standards.
③Trade 10 ERC20 tokens
This is actually quite difficult. There are 10 tokens. At that time, I swap was trading pairs based on eth and usdc/usd+/ceBUSD. I got one or two local dogs. At most, I made a wstETH transaction, and it is very likely that I also had one or two local dogs.Just 7-8 token transactions should not meet this requirement.nft actually mint a lot, but it is not ERC20 tokens
④ Add LP and borrow and loan at the same time
Please pay special attention to this point: here is and, not or, it means that both are doing both. There is no difference between just doing LP or just doing loans!!!
Let’s take a look at @sunlc_crypto man’s best number:
https://x.com/sunlc_crypto/status/1801542409068953859
The average daily amount is definitely very high, but in the end only two numbers have airdrops. Why?
There is only one explanation, that is, one of the seven conditions of the basic threshold has not been met, and he has obviously made an LP, so there is only one explanation, he does not have these numbers that are airdropped, and there is no dapp that can borrow and borrow at the same time, so this basic threshold isThe points should be 0. No matter how much the average daily amount is, it will be futile, which is a pity!
The tutorial I did at that time was to interact with LP and lending at the same time, and both lasted for more than 24 hours. See the tutorial at that time:
Requires 24 hours of tutorial
Add to this: Eralend was stolen at that time. Later, he snatched the time to withdraw money all night, and took out the vast majority of them, but in the end he lost several assets.
⑤Hold magic lamp NFT
I only made the transaction of magic lamp nft, and I did not hold it in the snapshot.I can’t say anything about my own son. No wonder the magic lamp fell at the end of March, and someone did know the news.
⑥Lite is active for 3 months before Era is launched
There are two necessary conditions for this to be met at the same time: one is that it must be counted before ERA is launched, and the other is that it has an activity of 3 months.
The first condition indicates that I must be an old user. Before Era went online, I got the zz airdrop. I have not sold it so far. I lost a lot. At that time, only zigzag could be used, and zksync uploaded pictures and built nft on his own wallet page.If the lite transaction record that Era went back to make up after it went online in March 2023, it would not be forgotten.
The second test is actually loyalty. It is really not something that ordinary people can do in 3 months, but there was nothing else that dapps could do at that time. Old lite users are likely to get this 1 point.
Let’s look at the case of 1200 numbers from brother:
https://x.com/sunlc_crypto/status/1801542409068953859
This point of man lite is definitely not counted, because he has been active for up to 3 days, and the minimum requirement for this basic bonus is 3 months of monthly active users, so he will definitely lose his basic point.
From our above sharing, we can see that @sunlc_crypto’s only basic point is to add liquidity, but his top number may not interact with the lending dapp at the same time, resulting in him adding liquidity and lending dapp interaction. This 1 point is alsoI haven’t gotten it. If there are no more than 10 dapps and 10 tokens in other categories, and there is no magic lamp, it is very likely that his basic score is 0, so his final hit rate is so low, only 2%.
If you see this speculation and analysis, @sunlc_crypto, you can check if this is the case?
7. Use lite network to donate to gitcoin projects
When I was lite, there was indeed this gitcoin channel. I remember that the rules were relatively simple at the time. It seemed that I didn’t even have a passport requirement of 20 points at the beginning. I couldn’t remember it clearly, but I did make this donation.
In summary, my personal account should have received at least 4 points in the basic score, and I just found one of my own:
The second factor {0-N}: the average daily holding amount, which is a range value from 0 to N. The multi-party cross-verification of this average daily amount must reach more than 100u before the airdrop can be obtained.If this multiplier is too small, the total amount will be less than 450 points, and it will be reclaimed by the official.
#zksync proposed the concept of the average daily position amount in the airdrop rules. This average daily position has three core elements:
①Balance = wallet balance + asset balance in DEFI
This calculation method is generally better than starknet, because starknet only looks at the ETH balance, defi balance and even usdc balance are not counted, so I had some numbers that did not meet the standard eth balance and did not have strk airdrops.
②The DEFI assets have 2 times more multiplied, which means that if you add 100u of liquidity, the balance will be calculated at 200u, and the assets will be encouraged to participate in dapp interaction.
③The time span is within the first anniversary of the launch of Era. The average daily account balance for the year from March 24, 2023 to March 24, 2024 must be around 100u.
The official gave an example of the daily average balance calculation formula:
The roughly means that Bob sent 1000u to the account before 25 of the snapshot date, of which 500u added LP, so his average daily amount is (500*25+500*25)/366 days = 102.46u.
So the question is: How do we deduce the balance threshold conditions that meet the airdrop 100u?
Because, in the responses to 9 questions, the official gave an example from the table:
https://docs.zknation.io/zk-token/zk-token-faq/zk-dai-bi-chang-jian-wen-ti-jie-da
From this example we can see that
The 30 USD is only 340 points, but it failed to meet the standard and was recovered, and there was no shortage of investment space;
$50 1040 points, eligible;
However, these three addresses have a prerequisite: the basic points are all 3 points.
In fact, ordinary users may only be able to meet the basic score of 1-2 points.
Then it can naturally be roughly deduced that if you want to get the airdrop (more than 450), you will get at least an average balance of 100u.
In addition, we can also confirm the threshold and conditions of this amount of 100u from other cases listed by brother @sunlc_crypto:
https://x.com/sunlc_crypto/status/1801542409068953859
We can also deduce from this case: the LP of 50U is calculated based on the double balance, which is actually a balance of 100u.
There is another extreme case about the balance issue, which means that you can see this invisible rule from the answer to another official question:
The main reason is that the chain assets of era are 0, so the average daily asset balance is 0, so the entire formula is 0 at the end.
We can also confirm the answer to this question with an extreme case listed by @sunlc_crypto:
https://x.com/sunlc_crypto/status/1801542409068953859
It was useless to brush lite from September to October last year, because lite’s monthly active users must be useful before the launch of era in March 2023, so they were all useless….
3. The third factor nX: multiplier weighting, n is 5 weighting terms, and X is a weighted fraction.
The n weighted items are designed with special dataization and detailed details. Let’s analyze them one by one:
①Hold one of 7 native NFTs: Dudiez, Hue, Moody Mights, Webears, ZKPENGZ, zkSkulls, or zkVeggies.
I’m not very familiar with this, I don’t know it, I probably don’t have it.
② Hold native ERC20 copycat Dogecoin with more than 50u: AAI, HOLD, KOI, MEOW, MUTE, RF, ZF, ZORRO.
I have seen these coins, except for mute, and I am not familiar with them, so I probably don’t have them either.
③AA wallet, a smart contract abstract wallet was created on era
At that time, kol pushed AA abstract wallet, which is also the advantage of zksync and starknet. It can make N interactions at the same time with one transaction. Unfortunately, I was afraid of trouble at the time and didn’t download it.
④ Hold ARB/OP/ENS with 50% airdrop for more than 90 days
I have to say that I have not sold arb so far, and it was probably collected on the exchange at the beginning of this year or at the end of last year. To add, it is not sold yet…..Big grudge….
I did do this for every account, and the screenshot is proof:
https://x.com/AirdropCatCom/status/1772798279723712802
⑤ Interact with eligible Ethereum smart contracts at least twice in the first 1,000 addresses.A contract that qualifies is a contract that costs at least 100 ETH transaction fee.
This is actually very difficult because I have to interact with the dapp of the Ethernet mainnet smart contract with 100ethgas or above twice, and it is in the top 1,000!
I probably haven’t reached this weighting term.
So, in the end, I only got one multiplier weight for each number.
3. Rules summary
1. Past experience has failed. zksync’s airdrop rules are the most complex, obscure, opaque, and difficult to understand short rules.
Our position with the project party is naturally in opposition.
The project party wants to: find real users and exclude witches!
We want to: if we pay gas, we have to get the airdrop!
Objectively speaking, the airdrop scale of $zk is among the four majors, which is the largest airdrop scale of personal interaction address, but this is already destined to be an ending that will disappoint 90% of people!
Regardless of the conditions, the number of people who are disappointed will definitely be more disappointed than the number of people who are excited. This is determined by the base and is also caused by the unfavorable, opaque, and failure to communicate in time by @zksync project party.
Just talking about the airdrop rules of zk, they are 7 basic thresholds, one daily average amount and 5 weighted multipliers. These three levels are indeed designed very accurately, each pointing directly to the witch’s seven inches!
Because we are all empiricism, arb, op and strk are actually all three of monthly active users, transaction limits, interactions, tx and dapp. We naturally speculate that zk should be like this!But zk was surprisingly unexpected this time!I made a huge and complicated short-selling rule, which really eliminated the studio and caught most of the witches.
①7 basic thresholds, all of which are accidents.
In addition to lite monthly active users, 6 of them were invented by ZK themselves. For example, 10 dapps and 10 currencies test the transaction width, but ordinary people who use hair robbing numbers are on the scale and only use fixed transaction pairs.And the main thing is to trade the amount.Unexpectedly, the project party chose to do the opposite, and this time it completely gave up the transaction amount….Paymaster, magic lamp nft and gitcoin donations are also unique to zk. Only one adds liquidity and lending agreements is a regular action, but he also made a thief and made it. Both must be done at the same time to add points….
② The average daily holding amount is indeed scientific and it has stuck most people
In terms of balance, $arb actually started, but arb is a point-deduction project, not a veto, so the sun shines.
The veto comes from $strk, but strk directly chose the eth balance, which is simple and crude. Although many people do not meet the situation, they will not be destroyed. The high-quality account can always be saved!
It’s different when it comes to zk. His average daily holdings basically wiped out the traditional witch studio…Because the studio pursues scale and large-scale accounts, it is inevitable that each account will not be allocated a lot. Occasionally, a large amount will not be left on the account for 24 hours, and the average daily amount will not be calculated at all.In addition, he is the average daily limit for one year….The time span is so large that no one can match.
③Multiplier weight
Pay attention to two points: First, native assets, native nft and abstract wallets. Only real users will pay attention to the native ecology and buy and sell native nft and native assets. People who are fucked will not care about whether native or not, because the scale is on theThe first thing to consider is that the wear is minimal and the liquidity of native assets is a problem. The wear is definitely very large, which does not conform to the professional qualities of our hair-fucking people. The stricter the control of the studio, the less we will not consider native assets.
First, the main network transaction records and other L2 loyalty. The top 1k name of the main network is actually difficult to achieve. The mainstream dapps that can reach the top 1,000 are all masters. The masters will definitely not care about the three melons and two dates.Airdrops will not sell easily. Airdrops will make them pay attention to the new plan, and they will actively participate in the new chain ecosystem; other L2s have a 90-day sales restriction period, and the compliance rules are truly true!You can not only compare with other L2 strong customers, but also ensure that these customers are loyal customers!
4. Why review it?
By learning from history, you can know the rise and fall.
What are the past rules determine the direction of future airdrop rules!
Airdrop is the best way to distribute chips fairly, especially the US FIT21 Act clearly states that token distribution should be fair, and airdrop is the best way!
However, the number of people who pick up hair is getting more and more curled, and the number of people who pick up hair is getting more and more difficult, and the rate of return is getting smaller and smaller.
zk’s backlash tells us:
If you do not fully understand the rules and do not keep pace with the times, and continue to follow the previous ideas, will you still be beaten back in the next one?
Calm down—>Reflection—>Growth—>Strong!This is positive feedback!
Brainless abuse ->Follow the crowd ->Confused rules ->No growth -> Being repeatedly beaten!This is negative feedback
Why do we suck our hair?
Don’t be unable to make money!
Don’t enter the urgent door.
Only by thinking calmly, analyzing rationally, and patiently analyzing the rules can we reach the next big one!
This time, the best number wins. Where is our future?
Use the strategy of a few people to play projects with a large number of people!
Objectively speaking, I think ZK’s rules this time are indeed complicated, but his rules do work and have eliminated most studios.
I know that many people still want to criticize when they see this, rather than real growth and iteration. It doesn’t matter, just criticize if you want, I don’t care.
After all, brainless abuse can relieve anger, be happy and enjoyable. If you take out your own number, start reviewing, comparing, summarizing, growing up, and denying your previous self, it will seem complex and cumbersome and painful. This is God.The real reason why we can’t wake up a person who pretends to be asleep is that we all just want to choose short-term relaxation rather than painful reflection.
This is human nature. I neither seek to change human nature nor have the power to change human nature.
If one-tenth of people see this and are inspired, then I sincerely wish all mature and rational people. If you can gain anything and iterate your next strategy and take action, then youThe next time you get wealth is what you deserve.
The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency.
The way of human beings is not the case, and the loss is not enough to serve the people.
The rules of operation of this world are so realistic and cruel:
Wealth is only in the hands of a few rational people. The rich want to be rich, and the poor want to be poor. All of them are good at thinking and diligent every day, while the poor are good at resentment and mediocre.
The way of heaven is originally like this. Those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it perish, will be destroyed. Nothing can be out of the way.
