Arbitrum,
the Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, announced the
Airdrop of ARB tokens on March 16, with eligible
recipients expecting to receive tokens by March 23. This
has caused excitement in the community, and has also helped other Layer 2 solutions, such as zkSync, to gain traction by airdrop
speculation.
ZkSync is
another layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, which
supports NFT and Atomic swaps and Ether transfers and ERC-20 tokens
within the Ethereum network.
According
to analytics firm Nansen, more than 39,000 addresses have bridged more than $871 million
to zkSync in the last seven days, with the number of addresses connected to
zkSync up by 5x in the last week.

zkSync and
StarkNet are considered the most expected and probably most likely Airdrops. As
a result, on March 17, nearly 5,000 people deposited more than 536 ETH
using zkSync bridge, and nearly 3,000 users
deposited more than 234 ETH using the StarkNet Bridge.
Although
zkSync does not yet have its own tokens or airdrop release announcements, with
the buzz surrounding Arbitrum's Airdrop, many people believe they will receive
the same reward in the near future.
