Hello, dear Corgis! In this guide, you will find information regarding activities in the zkSync network, both Testnet and Mainnet.

Time required: 20-60 minutes Expenses: 15-20$

Mainnet Activities

1. Go **here** and connect your wallet.
2. Press + Top up, and select zkSync in the “Bridges” tab.
3. Bridge the preferred amount (0.05eth or 100$ would be good) and wait for the confirmation.

1. When you will receive your eth, go to - **https://www.pinata.cloud/** and create an account.
2. Click on the “Add files” button, select the “file” option, and upload any random image.

1. Then go here and click “+ Mint NFT”. In the “content address” tab paste your CID from the image you uploaded to Pinata.
2. Click “Authorize to Mint NFT”, approve the transaction, and then “Mint NFT”. You can do that multiple times. But as I recommend repeating those steps once in a few days, you can mint 1-2 nfts at a time.

Once you are finished with that, let’s make some volume with swaps.

1. Go to - **https://trade.zigzag.exchange/.**
2. Swap ETH/USDC and other pairs multiple times. Repeat that every day, or a couple of days a week.

1. Go to - **https://passport.gitcoin.co/#/** and connect as many apps as you have. Connecting to GitHub is important for our next step, so if you don’t have it, create a new account and connect.

1. Go here and connect with your GitHub account.
2. Select 2-5 grants, which can be random or connected with Zksync (like zkblock or zkRollups), and add them to the cart.
3. Go to your cart, select ETH in “Amount/Currency”, and put a minimum amount of eth next to each grant. Then click “I’m ready to checkout” and select “zkSync checkout”.
