Airdrop Guide: Polygon zkEVM

Polygon zkEVM is an EVM-equivalent Zero-Knowledge Rollup from Polygon.

Why We Are Hunting This

While many initially assumed the Polygon zkEVM would not be airdropping a token to early users, given the existence of MATIC, founder Sandeep Nailwal has hinted at the possibility of one. In a Tweet, Nailwal suggests tokens may be airdropped to early users of the Polygon zkEVM, stating “there is no rule that an existing token can’t do a massive airdrop ?” On July 12, Polygon introduced Polygon 2.0 and announced a transition of the governance token from MATIC to POL. In addition to a variety of technical upgrades, the POL whitepaper notes that token emissions will be directed towards a community treasury. Should the POL community wish to incentivize Polygon zkEVM usage, it is possible an airdrop is deemed the best method to do so.
