Yuga Labs is the development team behind the renowned NFT project Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). Recently, reports suggest that Yuga Labs is in talks with a16z to raise investment at a company valuation of up to $5 billion.
Currently, the Yuga Labs ecosystem includes projects such as BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club), MAYC (Mutant Ape Yacht Club), CryptoPunks, and more.
Yuga Labs' Funding and Expansion
The project has already raised over $450 million at a $4 billion valuation from top-tier investment funds like a16z, Animoca Brands, and Coinbase Ventures.
Recently, the Yuga Labs team launched a new testnet chain, functioning as a Layer 2 network that allows early adopters to participate for a chance to receive an Airdrop.
Why Join the Layer 2 Curtis Airdrop?
Recent Layer 2 projects like Movement have airdropped hundreds to thousands of dollars per user. Previous Layer 2 airdrops from Arbitrum, Optimism, Manta, Starknet, LayerZero, zkSync, and Scroll also rewarded users generously, sometimes with thousands of dollars per wallet. However, as airdrop strategies evolve, anti-cheat measures have become stricter.
How to Avoid Getting Filtered or Banned?
To maximize your chances of receiving airdrops without getting filtered as a bot:
✅ Keep at least $50 in ETH (~0.015 ETH is optimal) in your wallet.
✅ Make at least 100 swap transactions across multiple DEXs to potentially qualify for additional airdrops from DEX projects in the Layer 2 ecosystem.
✅ Provide liquidity in at least 3 pools, prioritizing large pools like ETH/USDT, ETH/USDC, and ETH/DAI (but be mindful of Impermanent Loss).
For testnet projects, the cost is almost zero, so take advantage of this early opportunity!
