Что нужно сделать

1. 01

   Install ArgentX or Braavos wallet as a Chrome extension. Ekubo on Starknet requires a native Starknet account — MetaMask will not work. ArgentX is the most popular choice; download it only from the official Chrome Web Store or argentx.com to avoid phishing clones. Write your seed phrase on paper and store it securely offline.

2. 02

   Fund your Starknet wallet with ETH via a bridge. Use the official Starkgate bridge (starkgate.starknet.io) for maximum security, or Orbiter Finance / Layerswap for faster and cheaper transfers. $30–50 worth of ETH is enough for months of Starknet activity, as gas fees are typically under $0.05 per transaction.

3. 03

   Open the Ekubo app (ekubo.org/swap) and connect your Starknet wallet. Click 'Connect Wallet' and select ArgentX or Braavos. Confirm the connection in your wallet popup. Verify you see your Starknet address and ETH balance displayed in the UI before proceeding.

4. 04

   Execute your first token swap on Ekubo. Start with a simple ETH to USDC swap of $5–15. This creates your first on-chain interaction with the Ekubo protocol contracts. Small amounts are fine — what matters is establishing a dated history of activity. Confirm the transaction in your wallet and wait for the Starknet block to finalize.

5. 05

   Diversify your swaps across multiple token pairs over time. Don't repeat the same ETH→USDC trade every time. Rotate through pairs like ETH/STRK, USDC/STRK, ETH/LORDS, and others available on the platform. Trading multiple pairs signals genuine user behavior rather than automated bot activity, which is critical for passing sybil filters.

6. 06

   Acquire STRK tokens (Starknet's native token) for use within the ecosystem. You can buy STRK on CEXes like Binance/OKX and bridge it, or buy it directly on Ekubo. Having STRK strengthens your Starknet ecosystem footprint and allows you to participate in STRK-paired pools for LP farming, which is where the most impactful activity occurs.

7. 07

   Add concentrated liquidity to an Ekubo pool — this is the highest-value action for airdrop eligibility. Navigate to the 'Pool' section, choose a pair (USDC/ETH or STRK/ETH are safest), and set a price range around the current market price. Even $50–100 in a LP position counts. LP activity typically receives higher weight than simple swaps in retroactive airdrop formulas, as proven by Uniswap's and Curve's historical distributions.

8. 08

   Maintain your LP position for at least 2–4 weeks before rebalancing. Duration of liquidity provision is a key metric — protocols measure time-weighted liquidity, not just the total amount deposited. Adding liquidity and removing it within hours is a red flag for sybil detection and provides almost no airdrop benefit. Set a reminder to check and rebalance only when price moves significantly outside your range.

9. 09

   Use the TWAMM (Time-Weighted Average Market Maker) feature at least once. TWAMM allows you to spread a trade over a defined time period, similar to dollar-cost averaging on-chain. Navigate to the TWAMM section of Ekubo, set a small order (e.g., sell $15–20 USDC into ETH over 1 hour), and execute it. This marks your wallet as an advanced protocol user who explored beyond basic swap functionality.

10. 10

    Repeat swaps and LP activity on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. Consistency over months is far more valuable than one concentrated burst of activity. Set a calendar reminder every 1–2 weeks to make 2–3 swaps on Ekubo. Wallets with 6+ months of consistent activity across dozens of transactions look like organic users; wallets with 50 transactions on a single day look like scripts.

11. 11

    Explore Ekubo on Ethereum and Arbitrum for secondary coverage. Since Ekubo V3 expanded to Ethereum mainnet and Arbitrum, there may be separate or additive allocation criteria for these deployments. Perform a handful of swaps on each chain to build multi-chain activity history. Gas on Ethereum mainnet is higher, so keep it to 3–5 key transactions; Arbitrum is cheaper and allows for more regular activity.

12. 12

    Monitor Ekubo's official Twitter/X (@EkuboProtocol) and community channels for token or points program announcements. Some protocols launch quiet points/leaderboard systems months before announcing a token — early enrollment multiplies your final allocation. Missing a points program announcement by even a few weeks can significantly reduce your final share of the airdrop.

13. 13

    Verify all your transactions are recorded correctly using a Starknet block explorer (Starkscan or Voyager). Search your wallet address and confirm your swap history, LP positions, and TWAMM orders are all visible. If any transaction failed or got stuck, re-execute it. Your on-chain record is your eligibility proof — there are no off-chain signups or forms to fill.

14. 14

    Broaden your Starknet footprint by interacting with 2–3 other Starknet protocols. Protocols like Nostra (lending), zkLend (lending), JediSwap (DEX), or the Starknet governance portal can all contribute to a richer Starknet on-chain profile. Cross-protocol activity is a strong signal of genuine ecosystem users vs. single-protocol farmers, and several Starknet protocols cross-reference activity across the ecosystem for their own airdrop criteria.

15. 15

    Stay alert for the official token claim announcement and act promptly. When and if Ekubo announces a token, claim windows typically run for 1–6 months. Mark the announcement date immediately, set up wallet notifications if possible, and claim your allocation well before the deadline. Many users have lost significant sums by missing claim windows for Optimism, Arbitrum, and other major airdrops — do not let this happen to you.
