One article to understand the basic strategy of ambush StarkNet ecological airdrop

StarkNET is an L2 ZK-Rollup technology built by StarkWare Ltd and has no token yet. This article mainly speculates about which airdrops STARK will have, understands ZK-Rollup technology, and lists the protocols we can use now.
What are ZK (Zero Knowledge) Proofs? It's a way to prove something without giving away information.For example, if I want to prove to you that I know someone in the painting below, but I don't want to pinpoint his exact location, what should I do?
I can take a large piece of white paper, let's say it's 5 times bigger than this painting, and make a small hole in the paper, and then cover the painting, and I can make you see the person through the small hole.
Since the paper is much bigger than the painting, you don't know the specific location of this person, but you also believe that I do know where this person is. This is simple ZK logic.
This logic can be applied to Rollup, making the blockchain lighter, faster, and cheaper.Because it contains very little data without losing decentralization. These ZK L2s have slowly gained EVM support.
zkSync is one of the ZK L2 contenders.They launched zkSync mainnet 1.0 in June 2020 without smart contract support. Now zkSync 2.0 is in beta and supports smart contracts.
Now it's STARK's turn:
StarkWARE - the company that builds the technology;
StarkEX - ZK solution without composite ability;
StarkNET - ZK solution with composability.
STARK was founded by some Zcash OGs:EliBenSasson, Ukolodny, Riabzevmichael, and more than 100 million US dollars of venture capital funds have settled in.
StarkEX：Their first approach is to use ZK techniques to scale specific applications, but they are not composable. dYdX, ImmutableX, DeversiFi are some applications that use Starkware's StarkEX. Each protocol is locked into its own application, there is no composability, but this is needed for DeFi.
StarkNET：Composable full Ethereum L2 network using ZK Rollup. Currently, StarkNET Alpha has been launched on the mainnet. Also testing on Testnet, where there are more protocols to try. So:
(i) What can you do on StarkNET?
(ii) Do they plan to launch a token?
There is a good chance they will launch a token. To secure the network, they need economic incentives, and to decentralize their communities need power, which means tokens. So let me introduce you to the StarkNET Goerli-Testnet strategy.
FaucetFaucetGet some test tokens;
Secondly, complete an exchange on Starkswap, and then go to JediSwap, Myswap, and Alpharoad to complete several transactions respectively;
The third step is to join the Discord of Matchbox Dao and mint an NFT on PlayOasisXYZ,
Finally, transfer GOERLI ETH to L1 through SuezBridge, and then you can fill in the Zkxprotocol list (http://zkx.fi/#notifysection).
For StarkEX, many protocols are already in use, and most of them have their own tokens, but this is still StarkWare's technology. So if you have time, you can also check it out, here are the agreements:
1. dYdX futures trading (with tokens);
2. Deversifi DEX (with tokens);
3. Immutable NFT marketplace;
4. Sorare sports collectibles;
A few other protocols that haven't rolled out yet, I think the ones to watch out for are these:
1. Multi-chain DEX of ZKEX;
2. Sithswap AMM；
3. ZkLend lending;
4. Aave <>Starknet interaction;
5. CurveZero a fixed-rate loan agreement;
6. Fujifinance, loan rebalancer;
For the StarkNET Alpha mainnet, there is not much we can do right now, this is not Goerli, this is the StarkNET mainnet. They launched StarkGATE (their cross-chain bridge) a few days ago, where users send their ETH from the Ethereum ecosystem to the StarkWARE mainnet.
