Introduction

Scroll (Twitter: https://twitter.com/Scroll_ZKP) is a Ethereum Layer 2 network that uses ZK-rollups. They officially launched their mainnet on October 17th.

With a valuation of $1.8 billion from their recent fundraising round, Scroll presents an incredible airdrop opportunity that should not be missed. To increase your chances of receiving this potential airdrop, it is important to establish an organic transaction history on the Scroll network. Let’s take a closer look at what we can do on the network.

NFT marketplace that are also on other Layer2s. Most NFTs are priced in the 0.0001 ETH region.

Step 4 (Deploy a contract and get the Scroll Origins NFT):

The easiest way to deploy a contract is to go to https://minter.merkly.com/deploy/empty and simply click “Deploy”.
