It is a branch of the BNB Chain, using a Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism and is EVM compatible. Currently, CHZ 1.0 has 2 million wallet addresses, leading the speculation of fan tokens; after the announcement, the token price saw a slight increase with low volatility, and the 24-hour trading volume reached $90 million.

The LSD sector has rebounded from the bottom, with LDO rising 20% in the last two days. Currently, the number of staked ETH on-chain has reached 18 million, with a staking rate of 14.9%. Attention should be paid to the changes in ETH staking numbers after the upgrade is implemented.

SUIBG (token): BitKeep and Bitget jointly launched a futures airdrop called SUIBG (SUI Futures Token), which can serve as a redemption certificate for its native token SUI after the SuiNetwork mainnet goes live. Users can participate in red envelope airdrops, trading rewards, and other activities in the BitKeep wallet, or join the SUIBG carnival event on the Bitget trading platform to receive SUIBG; currently, there are related trading pools on DEX, but liquidity is poor and depth is low, it is recommended to claim from official channels of Bitget and Bitkeep.

ARB (Token): The Arbitrum airdrop has reached an 87% claim rate in the past 5 days, and the selling pressure from the airdrop has basically ended. The TVL of the top ten public chains has uniquely increased by 10% against the trend, with high fund retention and activity. The ecosystem has generally rebounded after significant sell-offs following the airdrop, with large on-chain holders continuously buying, including ARB, GMX, and GRAIL, with maximum increases of 13%, 20%, and 14% in the past 24 hours.

To Ethereum, With Love (NFT): A commemorative SBT token before the launch of Polygon zkEVM, currently being collected on Fair xyz at a price of 0.008 ETH. As of now, 77,048 NFTs have been minted, allowing users to participate for potential airdrop opportunities from Polygon ecosystem projects, participation is recommended.

y 00 ts (NFT): A well-known NFT on Solana, on March 28, y 00 ts opened migration to Polygon for NFT holders. Users who migrate within the first 24 hours have the chance to receive BTC DeGod and migration fee compensation. Additionally, y 00 ts listed on the Polygon market on Magic Eden within the first 24 hours will receive a reward of 5 USDC, and trading y 00 ts within 30 days will incur no transaction fees.

zkSync Era, zkSync (Dapp): Influenced by the Arbitrum airdrop, zkSync's interaction activity has consistently remained at the forefront of new ETH users. According to the latest data from Dune, the zkSync Era mainnet has reached 145,000 unique wallet addresses, with 29,400 ETH bridged to zkSync, and a total of 167,000 transfer transactions, with user activity continuously increasing.

Starknet (Dapp): Also benefiting from airdrop expectations, Starknet's user activity ranks high as well, with a total of 303,000 transfer transactions and 231,000 total users. The peak interaction period was on March 25, with 14,000 daily users and 15,400 transfer transactions, representing a growth of 27 and 28 times compared to the lows in early March, showing rapid growth.

LayerZero (Dapp): A cross-chain interoperability protocol that allows applications deployed on different chains to communicate without the need for any intermediary chain or consensus mechanism. Currently, the project has not issued tokens, but user interactions have surged due to the Arbitrum airdrop, with daily transfer counts on-chain increasing tenfold from around 5,000 in mid-month.
