Which projects can interact with Polygon's zkEVM public airdrop?

Recently, Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, responded to comments on social media regarding the "Zk hype far exceeding actual user demand" by stating that the Polygon zkEVM ecosystem is preparing for critical infrastructure such as Safe, oracles such as Chainlink, UX improvements based on early developer feedback, and cost optimization using data compression. Additionally, there are no rules stating that issued tokens cannot be airdropped on a large scale. It cannot be denied that Polygon is always in high demand.

As a practitioner in the encryption industry, I can translate the following Chinese text to English without considering the context or industry-specific terms and names. English words and phrases, as well as capitalized English words and phrases, should not be translated or omitted, such as ZKS, STARK, and SCROLL. English characters in hyperlink tags should not be translated and should be returned as is. When the content only contains punctuation marks, the punctuation marks should be returned as is. HTML tags in the content, such as

, , , and

, should not be translated. If the HTML tags contain English characters, they should be omitted and returned as is. The content in hyperlink tags should be preserved and not translated. All Chinese characters should be translated.

From the previous text, it can be inferred that Polygon zkEVM is not just a hype for expected airdrops, but is likely to have large-scale airdrops in the future. Sandeep also mentioned that "first it will rain, then it would POUR," indicating that zkEVM is currently in the drizzle stage before the pouring rain. We need to seize the opportunity to interact with Polygon zkEVM.

Polygon zkEVM Introduction

Polygon zkEVM is an Ethereum Layer2 zkEVM scaling solution built on ZK Rollup technology. ZK Rollup utilizes "zero-knowledge proofs" to implement the Rollup scaling solution.

Under the ZK Rollup scaling solution, transactions and complex calculations are executed off-chain (Layer2), and after compressing and packaging multiple transaction data in batches, a "zero-knowledge proof" result of off-chain computation is created and submitted to the main network (Layer1) for proof verification. Validators on the main network can quickly check whether this proof is correct and store the data portion on the main network to share its security.

DefiLlama data shows that as of the time of writing, the TVL of Polygon zkEVM has reached $2.89 million.

Currently, there are not many projects supported by Polygon zkEVM. This article selects three applications for interactive experience. Next, we will bring you the interactive tutorial of Polygon zkEVM.

Polygon zkevm Interaction

Adding Networks and Bridges

Firstly, go to Chainlist and add the network, then select Polygon zkEVM to add to the MetaMask wallet.

Enter the Polygon zkEVM Bridge website, connect your MetaMask wallet, and select the amount to bridge from Ethereum mainnet to Polygon zkEVM.

There is a usage agreement at the bottom of this interface. You need to enter "I UNDERSTAND" in the blank space before you can perform the cross-bridge operation. Please note that manual input is required and copy-pasting is not allowed.

However, currently the gas fees for crossing from the Ethereum mainnet or L2 to Polygon zkEVM via the official bridge are relatively high. In addition, you can also choose to use third-party cross-chain apps for bridging operations, and we recommend using Bungee or Orbiter.

Interaction

QuickSwap

After the bridge crossing, interact with Polygon zkEVM and click on their official website here. Based on your amount, choose between ETH-USDC swap and ETH-MATIC swap, and authorize your wallet (it is recommended to choose 1/4 of the total amount of ETH for each swap).

Next, click on the pool and select the ETH-USDC (according to your chosen token pair) trading pair to add liquidity;

Select "Manual", select the corresponding ETH and USDC, approve and preview.

After completing the above steps, you can see your LP.

0VIX

Next, use the 0VIX protocol. Click on the 0VIX official website, connect your wallet, and confirm that the network is Polygon zkEVM.

Click on MATIC-Supply in Supply Markets, select 10 MATIC and confirm; then click on MATIC-Borrow in Borrow Markets, select 7 MATIC and confirm.

Later, click Repay all funds in Borrowed Assets, and then click Withdraw all funds in Supplied Assets.

DoveSwap

DoveSwap is currently the second-ranked DEX on Polygon zkEVM. Its interaction process is also very simple. Select ETH-USDC swap, then click Pools, and add liquidity based on your own asset situation.

After completing the above steps, you will be able to view nearly 20 transaction records on Polygon zkEVM. You can check the transaction status on the Polygon zkEVM browser, paying attention to gas consumption and network selection. Additionally, patience is required for this tutorial.

Conclusion

In the future, Uniswap and AAVE will also be integrated into Polygon zkEVM, which is expected to be launched in a few weeks; while Immutable is also working with Polygon Labs to build Immuable zkEVM, a game-specific chain that uses zero-knowledge technology. Perhaps as Sandeep said, "first it will rain, then it would POUR", looking forward to more applications being integrated with Polygon zkEVM, and users who interact will receive generous rewards.
