Blur NFT Marketplace: Season 2 delayed

Blur ($BLUR) calls itself the “Fastest NFT Marketplace” providing users with a decentralized marketplace for trading Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). They aim to stand out by giving users the ability to sweep across multiple NFT marketplaces, faster access to NFT reveals, and improved user experience.

Blur’s airdrop Season 1 ended on 14th February 2023. Blur have announced they will airdrop over 300 million $BLUR in Season 2, which was scheduled for April 2023 but is currently delayed.

To participate in Blur’s Airdrop Season 2, users can connect their wallet to Blur’s platform and begin bidding on collections here. Airdrops are given on a point-based system. This system rewards bids on NFT collections based on their 24-hour volume. Participants can also maximize their $BLUR token airdrop by earning more points with loyalty.

For Season 2, Blur has also launched Blend (short for Blur Lending). Blend is a peer-to-peer perpetual lending protocol for NFTs and allows NFT holders to borrow ETH against their NFTs without needing to sell them. With the launch of Blend, the Blur team also introduced Lending Points, which are doubled for certain NFT collecions.

zkSync is a ZK Rollup that aims to provide scaleable and low-cost transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. This is by submitting validity proof to an Ethereum smart contract along with transactions that are bundled.

zkSync Era Mainnet Alpha is now open to public. The team has said they will launch a native token in the future, leading to hopes that some of the tokens will be airdropped then. There is speculation that to be eligible for the zkSync Airdrop, users should: (1) Add zkSync Era Alpha Mainnet on MetaMask; (2) interact with zkSync Lite and zkSync Era Mainnet Alpha; (3) Complete quests on zkSync’s Crew3 ;and (4) interact with the zkSync ecosystem such as Orbiter Finance or ZigZag. The last option is also particularly worthwhile since some zkSync dApps may not have launched their token yet. So you may get a chance to earn double airdrops!

StarkNet ($STRK) Token Airdrop: Potential second round?

StarkNet is a decentralized Validity-Rollup (or “ZK-Rollup”) that works on top of Ethereum, providing unlimited computational capacity to decentralized applications without sacrificing security or compatibility. It utilizes STARK, a secure and scalable cryptographic proof system, to ensure that transactions are secure and reliable. StarkNet is permission-free, meaning anyone can use it without needing to be approved by a third party. StarkNet’s alpha v0.11.0 has just gone live on Testnet, and the mainnet upgrade is expected to follow soon after.

The best way to receive a potential StarkNet $STRK token airdrop is to interact with their testnet. Also, there are a few protocols on StarkNet that do not have a token yet. So using their DApps could put you in a position to receive their airdrops as well, allowing you to earn double rewards!

MetaMask ($MASK) airdrop: TBC

MetaMask is a popular browser extension that allows users to store their Ethereum (ETH)/ ERC-20 tokens as well as interact with other decentralized exchanges.
