Executive Summary

This update dives into the latest happenings in the crypto airdrop world, especially focusing on a potentially overlooked Optimism campaign called "SuperStacks." It's a short, two-week push to bring more liquidity onto Optimism and its related "Superchain" blockchains, and even though the messaging about actual rewards is a bit mixed, it looks like a good opportunity since not many people are participating yet. We also get the scoop on the upcoming Zora airdrop, some useful tools to sniff out airdrops you might have qualified for without realizing, and reminders to claim tokens you might already be eligible for.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s covered:

  • Zora Airdrop:
    • Heads up! The Zora airdrop is happening on April 23rd.
    • If you've used the Zora platform anytime between early 2020 and April 20th, 2024, you might be eligible.
    • Eligibility was determined by two snapshots: Jan 1, 2020 - Mar 3, 2025 (!) and Mar 3, 2024 - Apr 20, 2024 (Note: The first date seems like a typo in the transcript, likely meant to be earlier than 2025, probably encompassing activity up to March 3rd, 2024).
    • There's no official eligibility checker or exact claim time announced yet, so keep an eye on Zora's official social media.
    • A little tip: Doing a small action like minting an NFT between April 20th and 23rd might be worthwhile, just in case there's a surprise last-minute multiplier, though there's no guarantee.
  • Claim Reminders:
    • Don't forget to claim your Prompt tokens if you participated in the Wayfinder farming on Base or Ethereum mainnet.
    • The Prompt token price had a nice run but is dipping, so claim and decide if you want to sell.
    • If you're a registered 'Yapper' on Kaito, you might also have Prompt tokens waiting. The deadline to claim those is May 10th.
  • Helpful Airdrop Tools:
    • daylight.xyz: This is a cool tool. You plug in your wallet address, and it shows your on-chain activity, including a section called "Your Claims" that lists ERC-20 tokens and airdrops you're eligible for.
    • It's highlighted as particularly useful for finding those obscure claims you'd definitely miss otherwise – even if they're just small amounts ("peanuts").
    • Earnify: Another tool, which previously integrated with Bankless, can also help you find missed claims.
    • You'll need to create a Bankless account (using Gmail is suggested over Discord log-in).
    • While tools are great, joining active communities (like the mentioned Discord's 'Airdrop Distribution' channel) is often the fastest way to hear about new claims and strategies.
  • Optimism "SuperStacks" Campaign:
    • This is a big focus. Optimism is running this campaign from April 17th to April 30th.
    • The goal is to get more people using and providing liquidity (money for trading pairs) on Optimism and its interconnected 'Superchain' blockchains.
    • Participating chains include Sonium, Base, Unichain, Optimism itself, Inchain, and Veldrum (an app).
    • Good news: interacting with chains like Sonium, Unichain, and Inchain for this campaign might also help you qualify for their own future airdrops.
    • How to participate?
      • Bridge assets (crypto tokens) into the Optimism network. Using Stargate bridge is mentioned.
      • Ideally, bridge from one of the participating chains (like Sonium) to potentially double-dip on activity.
      • Using Stargate might also count towards eligibility for future Layer Zero airdrops (Layer Zero just got more funding, so they're still a hot prospect).
      • The main activity is providing liquidity (depositing pairs of tokens) on either Uniswap or Belladrom (reputable apps on Optimism).
      • Risks: Remember, providing liquidity isn't risk-free. There's smart contract risk (bugs in the code) and impermanent loss (where the value of your deposited tokens can end up lower than if you just held them, especially if prices move a lot).
      • Pairing volatile assets like ETH with stablecoins (like USDT) is common but prone to impermanent loss if ETH price swings wildly. Pairing correlated assets like ETH and wrapped BTC (available on Inchain) might reduce this risk slightly. Pairing two stablecoins is safest but usually offers very low returns ('yields').
    • Why bother?
      • It's currently very under-farmed (only ~7,000 participants noted), meaning less competition for potential rewards.
      • There's conflicting information about rewards. Optimism initially said the 'XP' points earned are experimental with no guarantees, BUT their FAQ explicitly says you'll be able to redeem XP for OP tokens after the campaign.
      • Despite the confusion, the low participation, connection to Optimism (which has done multiple airdrops), and potential for multipliers make it seem like a "no-brainer" to get involved.
      • The campaign aims to improve how different Superchain blockchains work together.
  • Other Mentions:
    • Relay Bridge (Relay.link): Useful for bridging assets between less common chains. Doesn't have its own token yet, which is often a hint towards a future airdrop.
    • Sonium Superboard (superboard.xyz): A platform with tasks (like Galxe or Layer3) on Sonium dApps. Completing these also contributes to future Optimism airdrop eligibility.
    • Superform: This yield platform launched a points program on April 21st. Earn points by depositing, referring friends, or owning their Superfriends NFT.
    • Lens Protocol: If you're farming Lens, you can mint your reputation score NFT (costs ~$2.50 in Go stablecoin). You can bridge assets using gas.zip.
  • Security Warning:
    • A stark reminder that no exchange is perfectly safe. Bitget recently suffered an exploit due to a bug in an automated market maker for one token, allowing exploiters to potentially drain over $100 million.
    • This reinforces the need to diversify your crypto holdings across different exchanges, personal wallets (self-custody), and DeFi protocols rather than keeping everything in one place.

Transcript

Zora Airdrop is here. Optimism two-week campaign for liquidity. Two useful tools to help you identify all the airdrops you have qualified for and so much more. Let's get started. Starting with Zora, if you have used the platform over the last couple of years, you're going to be receiving an airdrop on April 23rd. Currently, there's no checker nor specific time of the claims. However, make sure to follow them on their socials to stay updated. Two things to keep in mind is that there were two snapshots. Snapshot number one was from January 1st, 2020 until March 3rd, 2025. And snapshot number two was from activity from March 3rd until April 20th. So in these three days between April 20th and April 23rd, when there's no any official snapshot being announced, it's probably also a good idea to maybe just buy one or two NFTs, do some basic activity in case there's going to be some multiplier. And two quick reminders for airdrop claims. If you've been farming Wayfinder or on base or Ethereum mainnet, make sure to claim your prompt. The token has been doing pretty well over the last couple of days. However, now it's already starting to dip. So make sure to claim and potentially sell if you wish to do so. And another thing, if you've been using Kaito and you're a registered Yapper, you could also have some of the prompt tokens waiting. You have only time until May 10th to claim your allocations. Also, there is a very useful thread showing you currently what airdrops are claimable for recap from April 19th. Additionally, there are two very, very useful tools I've come across, which first one is daylight.xyz. Here you can actually see most of your on-chain activity. But most importantly, this section called your claims. This is all the airdrops and other ERC-20 claims that your specific wallet qualifies for. For example, this EPMX, something probably related to GMX or something. Anyway, this I would miss for 100,000% sure. But in this case, I'm probably getting some peanuts right here. So basically, all you have to do is input your wallet and they will see exactly which claim you are eligible for. And here you verify a transaction. Now, another one that you've probably used in the past is also from Earnify. And they've integrated with Bankless a couple of years ago. And here you can see I'm getting super rich with these four claims that I've completely missed. Superfluid, Verachain and Uniswap for some reason. But yeah, it's also a free tool. You need to make a bankless account. So keep that in mind. You can also log in with Discord. But Gmail is probably a better version. Of course, probably the best way to stay updated with everything is also to talk to people about all distributions happening. We have a specific channel called Airdrop Distribution in our Discord. And here you will find all the alpha from the videos, usually days in advance. Also, strategies for all active and upcoming airdrops as well as beginners questions section, which can help you so much on the beginning of your journey. If you're interested, make sure to check the Subscriptions tab. Here you will find all the links to monthly yearly plans as well as an area tracking application. And as always, all the links we always talk about are in the first link or the description of every video. All right, so let's see what's going on with Optimism. So as you know, Optimism is having multiple rounds of their airdrop and we are nowhere near the end. They're distributing rewards for the next couple of years. So the last initiative is called SuperStacks. And it's basically a way to bring more on-chain liquidity and activity to Optimism. It's lasting from April 17th until April 30th. And you can see all the chains here that are actually integrated. We have Sonium, Base, Unichain, Optimism itself, Inchain, Veldrum as an application and no idea what this is. Maybe Sonic or something. You can let me know in the comments below. Whatever the case, most of these blockchains are actually really good area targets in their own right, such as Sonium, Unichain and Inchain. Most of these we've already covered many times in the past. And if you ever want to find a video we mentioned about in the past, all you have to do is go to the website, go in the search tab. And here you can write in something like Sonium, for example, and you will find all the content regarding this specific blockchain. Now, regarding this, how you can actually get started? There are many different ways to do this. However, we recommend if you're going to be using liquidity to use at least a couple hundred dollars per wallet or make sure to do some proper transactions to even qualify maybe in Stargate to get future Layer Zero fund rounds. Because Layer Zero actually raised new 55 million in the latest funding round. So how this would work with Stargate? You've used Stargate before. So basically make sure to bridge assets from a source chain into Optimism. Ideally, if you want to do a 2-in-1, you should bridge from Sonium or one of the other supported superchain blockchains. And even if Stargate does not actually generate you any experience, it might qualify for future Layer Zero rounds. So it's never a bad airdrop lego. Regarding the actual liquidity part of this airdrop, you need to deposit either in Uniswap or Belladrom. Both of these are very, very reputable applications on the superchain. So they should be safe. But remember, always there is a risk of both smart contracts and, of course, impermanent loss. If you pair something like ETH-USDT and ETH shots up in price or maybe goes down dramatically, there is a small risk of impermanent loss. So maybe it's not a bad idea to also go to Inchain and maybe pair two crypto assets such as ETH and BTC. Because in theory, if you are okay with wrapped assets, in theory, they should at least be a little more correlated than just pairing up a stablecoin and another volatile asset. Also, you can also pair two stablecoins, but deals on these are usually horrible. But it is the safest option, of course. And two very important final notes regarding this. This campaign is currently very under-farmed, sitting at just over 7,000 users. But there does seem to be some conflicting information regarding what is the point of this experience. At one point, they say that this is purely experimental and that in the future there's no any guarantees of rewards or anything. However, here in the FAQ section says, when can I redeem my points? After the program is completed, the amount of OP tokens you can redeem for each XP will be announced and the claims page will be published. So more information about the claims will go live at the end of the program. So it's kind of weird. At one point, they say nothing is given for this. But here in the FAQ section, there will be some rewards. Either way, it's under-farmed. It's optimism. You get airdrop multipliers. Seems like a no-brainer to participate, even though it is only for two weeks. Finally, I will also leave a blog post describing all these things in much detail. But TLDR is that they're trying to foster interoperability between the superchain blockchains to ensure that future incentives and rewards are aligned with the community needs and desires. Also, if you are having assets on some super exotic chain, usually Relay.link is one of the best ways to bridge your assets from anywhere to anywhere. They also don't have a token, so keep that in mind. And really last for this chapter, if you want to participate in some Layer 3-esque tasks, much like Galaxy and similar, Sonium has this superboard.xyz where you can do some activities on different dApps on Sonium, which is also going to participate you in the Optimism Air drops for the future. And another dApp we've used in the past, Superform has officially launched a points program. So starting on April 21st at 1500 UTC, you're not just generating yield on Superform, but you're also generating points. There's three ways to do this. Deposit and earn. Refer your friends. Or simply own the Superfriends NFT. And for everyone farming lands, you can mint your reputation score for just $2.5. You will need the Go stablecoin on their network. And in order to get assets, you can simply use the bridge using gas.zip. So let's wrap up with another stark reminder of how no centralized exchange or decentralized exchange for that matter is safe from exploits. Just like Hyperliquid, just like Bybit. And now we're adding BitGut to the list. Apparently, there was a very small automated market maker bug for one token that kept pumping and dumping for about 10%, which a certain group of users exploited for over 100 million. So another reminder to always diversify your assets through exchanges and wallets in a decentralized DeFi manner. And that's a wrap for all the Airdop claims, tools, and new project updates for today. If you like the content, make sure to like and subscribe. Blow notifications on.
