Introduction
Polygon zkEVM is another Layer 2 scaling solution that leverages ZK technology. A tweet from Polygon’s founder, Sandeep Nailwal, hinted at the potential for an airdrop in the future.

Rules
Once again, the goal is to create a transaction history on Polygon zkEVM. Let’see what we can do on it right now.
Guide
Getting started on Polygon zkEVM
Start by adding Polygon zkEVM to your Metamask using Chainlist.
https://chainlist.org/chain/1101
Step 1 (Bridges):
Next, you’ll need to bridge over some assets to Polygon zkEVM. To do this, you can use either the official zkSync Era bridge or Orbiter.
Official bridge: https://wallet.polygon.technology/zkEVM-Bridge/bridge
Assets supported: All Tokens
Network supported: Ethereum mainnet
Orbiter: https://www.orbiter.finance/
Assets supported: ETH
Network supported: All Layer 2s
Step 2 (DeFi):
Currently there’s a only a few protocols on Polygon zkEVM.
QuickSwap ($14.5m TVL)
The largest DEX on both Polygon POS and Polygon zkEVM. Safe bet for interaction and the farming yields are decent.
DoveSwap ($700k TVL)
https://swap.dovish.finance/#/
Another DEX with a much smaller TVL at around $500k.
MantisSwap ($1.5m TVL)
A stableswap to park your stables.
0VIX ($500k TVL)
The only lending protocol on Polygon zkEVM. (It lost $2 million on Polygon POS back in April. Caution before putting money into it.)
And that’s all for Polygon zkEVM now. Have fun and good luck hunting airdrops.
