Let’s explore how to farm Polygon zkEVM, the second chain on the Polygon network, and potentially maximize your airdrop profits. Polygon zkEVM is a layer 2 solution based on roll-ups, and there have been hints from the co-founder about possible future airdrops. So, let’s dive in and start bridging, swapping, and adding transaction volume to position ourselves for potential rewards.

Bridging Funds to Polygon zkEVM: To get started, you’ll need to bridge funds from Ethereum to Polygon zkEVM. While the official Polygon Bridge supports this, it only allows funds from Ethereum. If you don’t have funds on Ethereum, you can use third-party services like LayerSwap, Orbiter, MesonFi, or Bungee. Opt for a token-less bridge like Orbiter or Bungee to increase your chances of receiving future airdrops.

Swapping and Adding Transaction Volume:

Once your funds are bridged, it’s time to start adding transaction volume and taking swaps. QuickSwap, OVIX Protocol, Sushi, and Zonic NFT Marketplace are highlighted as potential projects to engage with. These projects offer various opportunities to supply liquidity, borrow, purchase NFTs, or participate in pools.

QuickSwap and Sushi: QuickSwap and Sushi are decentralized exchanges where you can take swaps and increase your trading volume. Connect your wallet, select the desired token pair, and execute the swap. Make sure to consider the gas fees, which are relatively inexpensive compared to other chains. I’ve seen that most of the time Sushi is cheaper in terms of gas fees than QuickSwap.

Zonic NFT Marketplace: Zonic NFT Marketplace allows you to explore and purchase NFTs on Polygon zkEVM. Choose an NFT within your budget, keeping in mind the potential for future airdrops. Consider buying multiple NFTs and selling some to diversify your wallet’s transaction history.

OVIX Protocol: OVIX Protocol offers opportunities to supply tokens and borrow funds. Consider supplying a portion of your assets to earn APY. Although the APY might not be exceptionally high, it’s valuable to get involved with multiple projects to demonstrate active participation. Additionally, explore pool participation on Sushi or Quick Swap, which requires adding liquidity by pairing tokens.

Conclusion: Farming Polygon zkEVM and positioning yourself for potential airdrops can be a rewarding endeavor. By bridging funds, taking swaps, engaging with NFT marketplaces, and participating in pools, you can increase your transaction volume and potentially earn profits. Remember to be consistent, as even a hundred or two hundred dollars transacted a few times can quickly add trading volume since that is calculated as aggregated volume. Therefore, $100 swapped 10 times equals $1,000 in trading volume.

Keep an eye on their socials for new projects being launched on Polygon zkEVM.
