Mint Your zkSync DID in 3 Minutes and Score for Airdrop!

A decentralized identifier, or DID, is a fresh identifier that enables verifiable digital identities. Unlike standard identifiers like phone numbers, email addresses, and usernames, mainly released and overseen by external centralized authorities, a DID is decentralized, easily attainable, accessible, and configurable. With the rapid advancement of blockchain technology, virtually every Web3 user possesses their individual DID. While numerous DIDs are available on the market, Web3 users still favor personalized DIDs that correspond to the mainnet symbol, such as .eth for Ethereum, .bnb for BNB Chain, .apt for Aptos, and of course, .zk for zkSync.

.zk is a DID issued by zkSync Name Service (zkNS), the first naming service on the zkSync network. This naming service protocol was developed by Star Protocol, which is a social network aggregator and decentralized commerce infrastructure. Although zkNS may not be the official domain name service of zkSync, it's still worth trying to obtain airdrop chances, as has been observed in the past. Popular domain name services like Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and SPACE ID have awarded airdropped tokens to domain holders.

Acquiring a zkSync DID serves a dual purpose – it makes you eligible for a possible zkNS airdrop and enhances your eligibility for zkSync token airdrops. Bitget Wallet (Previously BitKeep) has provided a step-by-step guide to minting a DID on zkSync Era. Like the previous guide, you can perform all these actions on your phone using the Bitget Wallet (Previously BitKeep) Wallet!
