The @zksync era mainnet is finally live. Users are bridging massively to be early to its ecosystem.
To get started, here is a guide on the zksync ecosystem and what you can do right now.
๐Ÿงต
@zksync 1/ Bridging
For bridges, you can either use the official zkSync bridge or @Orbiter_Finance. If you are aiming for airdrops you should try out both.,
2/ Live Projects
To find projects that are live on era, you can explore the official ecosystem page and filter for projects that are on mainnet.
Here are some interesting projects you can look at right now.
3/ @MintSquareNFT
Mint Square is an NFT marketplace built for zk Rollups, and it is already live on zkSync era. The trending collections right now are zk apes and zksync name service.
I am sure interesting NFT collections will show up so worth keeping in mind.
@MintSquareNFT 4/ @spacefi_io
Space Fi is a cross chain platform that seeks to connect Cosmos and Ethereum L2 networks.
The project recently launched on zkSync era with a couple of Crew 3 quests with potential incentives.
@MintSquareNFT @spacefi_io 5/ @mute_io
Mute is an L2 Dex that includes limit orders, bonds, amplifiers, and more.
Currently you can use the platform to swap for supported assets, as well as provide liquidity.
@MintSquareNFT @spacefi_io @mute_io 6/ @syncswap
Syncswap is one of the first DEX platforms to launch on zkSync era.
Right now, you can swap for supported assets on the platform or provide liquidity. The team recently confirmed a token so there could be a potential airdrop opportunity in here.
@MintSquareNFT @spacefi_io @mute_io @syncswap 7/ @ZkAnimals
Zk Animals is an upcoming NFT free mint that will go live on era. Right now, you can complete a few crew 3 quests to get a WL chance at their mint.
Especially with free mints, I would practice caution using a burner wallet to interact with any contracts.
@MintSquareNFT @spacefi_io @mute_io @syncswap @ZkAnimals 8/ @rhinofi
Rhinofi is a multichain defi yield aggregator that shows you farms across multiple blockchains that you use to earn yield.
The only zkSync related thing you can do right now is to use their bridge. I assume on chain yield opportunities will start showing up.
@MintSquareNFT @spacefi_io @mute_io @syncswap @ZkAnimals @rhinofi 9/ Upcoming Projects
@ZKEX_Official
ZKEX is a multichain order book DEX that aims to offer the seamless experience of a Centralized Exchange in DeFi.
To participate, they have live crew 3 quests right now.
@MintSquareNFT @spacefi_io @mute_io @syncswap @ZkAnimals @rhinofi @ZKEX_Official 10/ @tevaera
Tevaera is building the Web 3 gaming ecosystem on zkSync. They are nearing mainnet launch.
They will be launching with their first multiplayer game Tera Run on zkSync soon.
@MintSquareNFT @spacefi_io @mute_io @syncswap @ZkAnimals @rhinofi @ZKEX_Official @tevaera 11/ @PhezzanProtocol
Phezzan is a Perps DEX that seeks to offer strong liquidity for retail.
Not much is known yet. They currently have a closed discord where you need to answer a few questions to get a special role. The discord will open up soon after era.
12/ Live Projects that will launch on zkSync
- Balancer
- Curve
- Yearn
- Sushiswap
- Alchemix
- Uniswap
- Thalesmarket
- Redactedcartel
- CVI
13/ Risks: There have already been reports of rugs on zkSync. With every new ecosystem and project, there is always a risk of losing your funds to exploits and rugs. Please do your own proper research and assess your own risk.
14/ There will be many more protocols that launch on zkSync Era soon. The ecosystem is still early but protocols that really take advantage of the chain's speed like quality GameFi projects could be worth taking a look at.
