Manta Network is a modular L2 on Ethereum that enables ZK applications with low fees, high scalability, and developer-friendly features. It has strong backing from prominent investors such as Polychain, Binance Labs, and LayerZero Labs. It recently announced a $60 million raise from Polychain and Binance Labs and launched Manta New Paradigm.
What is Manta New Paradigm?
It is a new way of earning native on-chain yield on a functional L2, similar to what Blast introduced and what I descibed in this article. But with even faster launch and withdrawal. If you are familiar with Manta Network, you may know that it was originally built on Polkadot and switched to Ethereum this year while started just the Calamari canary network on Kusama.
How the airdrop works?
Everything is still in Early Access and invite only, so you need an invite code to join, but I will get it to you. So here is the step-by-step guide:
1. Open the page newparadigm.manta.network page . Use my invite code WALRQ.
2. Connect your Twitter account and Ethereum wallet, preferably MetaMask.
3. Bridge at least 0,25 ETH or/and USDC from ETH L1. The gas fees are pretty high, so you can pay something between 40-50$ worth of ETH
4. You will also receive boxes for your previous activity on other L2s such as Base, zkSync or Linea.
5. If you are not eligible for the initial airdrop for L2 activity, don’t worry, you will still get more for depositing ETH/USDC and for inviting others.
Timeline
Once you bridge ETH or USDC, you will later get STONE tokens and lucky boxes if you are eligible. You get more rewards for bridging more (+ for referrals).
When the opening comes, you claim your rewards (by January). In 69 days, you can withdraw again.
