Manta Pacific is doing a blast-like airdrop farming event called new paradigm, where users can bridge ETH or USDC and get rewarded with Manta token until January 2024. You can read the details in their official blog post. I bridged 0.4 ETH and have some invite codes that I will share down below. Yes, you need an invite code to join. But first, why is this a good opportunity?
Only 15k users bridged and the amount bridged is 14% of Blast’s TVL
As I’m typing down these words, I checked this dashboard and it says there are only 15,361 users that bridged. It also says 45,251 ETH and 31,177,731 USDC have been bridged. The Manta Pacific Explorer shows 45,449 STONE (representing bridged ETH) and 25,676,105 wUSDM (representing bridged USDC), so the numbers check out. Comparing to Blast, there are way fewer people and much less money that bridged to manta.
QA
Q: Can I check if my wallet gets any initial reward box before bridging?
A: Yes. You still need an invite code to connect your wallet and twitter. And once you use the code, it is used and cannot be used again, unless that code is a permanent one. I have a permanent invite code at the end of this article and you can use it to check all your wallets.
Q: I have multiple wallets qualified for initial reward boxes. Do you connect multiple wallets under the same twitter account? Or do you make a twitter account for each wallet and connect 1 to 1?
A: I did the former for blast, but for manta, I’m doing one wallet one twitter. For example, I’m doing 3 wallets, each connected with a different twitter account. I bridged 0.4 ETH on 1 wallet, and I’ll bridge on the other two wallets over the weekend when gas is lower.
Q: I bridged ETH/USDC but they are not appearing on manta.
A: Wait for 24 hours and check again. If you bridged ETH, you will see STONE. If you bridged USDC, you will see wUSDM.
Q: What can I do with STONE/wUSDM?
A: You can supply it on layer bank, tho cap is reached atm. You can sell for ETH on Quickswap after STONE reaching peg, bridge out to other wallets via layerswap, and repeat. STONE is below peg atm cuz people have been doing this to farm the airdrop on multiple wallets.
