Orbiter Finance, a bridge for Layer-2 assets, has confirmed a token and strongly hinted at a possible airdrop. Here are all the details you need to know and various tasks you can do to maximize your chances for this potential retroactive airdrop.
What Is Orbiter Finance?
Orbiter Finance is a decentralized cross-rollup bridge for Ethereum native assets. It allows you to transfer tokens like ETH, USDT and more from one blockchain to another. It supports 11 networks including Ethereum, zkSync Era, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB chain, and more, allowing you to transfer funds between these blockchains.

How To Maximize Your Airdrop Odds
Step 1: Head Over To https://orbiter.finance
To use Orbiter Finance, you will need MetaMask (or any supported wallet) along with some ETH, USDT, DAI, or USDC. Your funds can be on the Ethereum Mainnet, Arbitrum, BNB Chain or any of the 11 supported networks. If you haven't added most of these networks to your MetaMask yet, you can do so using the Chainlist.org website.
Step 2: Start Bridging Funds
The best chance to receive an airdrop is to bridge funds like a real user using any of the 11 supported networks. You can send Ether from Ethereum Mainnet to Arbitrum or any combination. I prefer Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Optimism, and Polygon for low gas fees.
- Connect your wallet
- Select the chains you want to send assets from and send assets to
- Select the token you want to send (ETH/USDT/USDC/DAI)
- Check fees and time
- Complete the transaction
Ideally, you should complete as many transactions as possible to maximize your chances. However, there will be transaction fees which are always viewable before you click send.
Step 3: Perform The Tasks At https://guild.xyz/orbiter-finance
Lastly, you should visit the Orbiter Finance Guild and level up your Discord roles by completing the tasks. When you visit the site, you will first need to join Guild by connecting your wallet.
