Layer 2 will see a lot of projects and users in the coming months Influx.

A few weeks ago, Optimism announced the details of the airdrop. zkSync confirmed their Token on the official website. We've already seen two of the big four Layer 2 launches ( Arbitrium, Optimism, StarkNet, and zkSync) Token . Next the wheel will turn to Arbitrium and StarkNet. Although the news has not been confirmed, it is very likely that both protocols will use their own native Token . Now that airdrops have become a standard part of issuing tokens, if Arbitrium launches Token , how do you make sure you qualify for the next big airdrop?
We speculate that Arbitrum and StarkNet will soon to announce their Token Strategy. StarkNet has released the alpha version, and Arbitrum is in the testing stage. Currently, according to its TVL of 2.7 billion US dollars, Arbitrum is the largest Layer 2, so Arbitrum's Token Plans are likely already on the agenda.

In April 2022, Offchain Labs, the creator of Arbitrum, announced an 8-week initiative, inviting users to participate in top projects in the Layer 2 ecosystem and win free minting The NFT. I speculate that the participants in this project may be in the future Arbitrum Token Airdropped user list. If you've tried Layer2 before, or Offchain Labs has done snapshots (or multiple times), then use Arbitrium in the near future, possibly an Arbitrium Token Airdrop the lucky ones, or boost your Token allocation amount.
There is also the dApp layer to consider. Arbitrium has not launched its own native Token So below I will introduce some tips for using Arbitrium, the basics of the Arbitrium Odyssey initiative, and some Arbitrium dApps.

First, you must transfer funds to Arbitrum and use the network.
Using Arbitrum One Bridge Perhaps new users get Arbitrum Token Great opportunity for airdrops.
We recommend you:
1. Add Arbitrum network to wallet via Chainlist Medium;
2. Use Arbitrum One Bridge to send ETH or ERC20 token from Ethereum;
3. Search Arbitrum One Portal, find a Dapp, Invest funds, such as Balancer liquidity pool.
Optimism OP Token The airdrop will involve multiple users, and regular use of cross-chain bridges, such as Hop Protocol, can be considered. Alternate some Layer 2 activities back and forth between Arbitrum and Optimism, etc. This may add to get more OP and Arbitrum native Token The probability.

Arbitrium Odyssey may involve future retroactive Arbitrium Token issued. That's for sure at the moment, and a follow-up project for 2 months will be for more Token Airdrop bonus points.
What is an Odyssey?
Odyssey is an initiative that allows users to earn free Mint NFTs designed by Tubby Cats NFT artists Ratwell and Sugoi. In exchange, users get to try out certain projects on Arbitrium for certain weeks. Offchain Labs explains:

The dApps that will be included in the program have been decided by snapshot voting. The Odyssey Initiative will begin this month with the following schedule:
Week 1: Bridge Week
Week 2: Yield Protocol and Hashflow
Week 3: Aboard Exchange and TofuNFT
Week 4: Uniswap and Apex
Week 5:   ;1inch and Izumi/Yin Finance
Week 6: Dodo and Swapr
Week 7: TreasureDAO and Battlefly< /p>
Week 8: Ideamarket and Sushi
Try the above apps at Arbitrium during the showcase (listed weekly specific tasks), you can get related free minted NFTs, and collecting 12 will unlock the final NFT award. The first week will reward users for trying one of the nearly 20 Arbitrium-compatible cross-chain bridges live today. Users who try the cross-chain bridge that received the most traffic this week will also be rewarded with additional NFTs.
Offchain Labs has not announced the official release date of Odyssey, which is scheduled for mid-May. Follow the Arbitrum Twitter account or join Discord for the latest news.
