zkSync Era Mainnet Complete guide for airdrop

A full guide on how to interact with zkSync Era mainnet to be eligible for $ZKS potential Airdrop.

zkSync is a ZK rollup, a trustless protocol that uses cryptographic validity proofs to provide scalable and low-cost transactions on Ethereum.

zkSync raised $458M fund while Arbitrum raised 120M, so you can imagine how big this airdrop can be.

 The CEO of Matter Labs hints that the $ZKS would be released in about a year, also this is a confirmation of zkSync Airdrop.

 

Before start, lets talk about zkSync Lite. If you are new on zkSync. I recommended you to use zkSync lite for some times. New or old this is zksync Lite guide including NFT mint on zkSync & how to withdraw fund from zkSync Lite.
