What is Layer3 ?

Founded in 2021, Layer3 is one of the most popular tool in Web3 exploration. They raised $2,5 millions in 2021 from several investors such as Electric Capital. By mixing quests with educational content, you will be able to explore the crypto ecosystem and these multiple DeFi projects. Beyond exploring Web3, Layer3 also offers a bridge and the ability to perform swaps, supporting numerous blockchains, such as Ethereum, Optimism, BSC, Gnosis, Polygon, zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM, Mantle, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Linea, Blast, Scroll, Aurora, Fantom, Metis.

Layer3 airdrop

Layer3 recently announced the launch of their own $L3 token, which will be issued based on the number of CUBEs minted. CUBEs represent on-chain achievements that players mint upon completing specific quests. The objective is to mint more than 100 CUBEs to maximize rewards. However, certain quests can be either tedious or prohibitively expensive…

After a thorough analysis of the platform, I have identified the most cost-effective and profitable quests to help you quickly farm these 100 CUBEs.

Each cube costs approximately $0.24 to mint, so ~$40 inclusing gas to mint all 100 of them.

One notable aspect is that many quests do not have a minimum requirement and can be completed through deposits, swaps, or bridges as low as $0.01, with minimal fees. This is particularly advantageous following the Dencun update.

Season 1 ends in 16 days and some easy-to-complete quests end in 2 days, so don’t waste your time! Furthermore, beyond making you eligible for the Layer3 airdrop, this will enable you to strengthen your onchain activity, which is always an added value for future airdrops. I’ve already claimed the 100 CUBEs on one of my wallets and I’m about to do it again on a second one.

Tips 1 : by completing quests, you will earn xp and level up. Certain levels allow you to unlock rewards, such as gems and boosters. You can follow your rewards here. Don’t hesitate to focus your farming on 24h period with x2 and x3 boosters.

Tips 2 : you will need gas on different blockchains to mint the CUBEs. Feel free to use the gas.zip to send $ETH to different blockchains all at once. You can send 2, 5, 10, 20 ou 50$ on as many blockchains as you want in a single time.
