What Is Orbiter Finance and How to Get its Airdrop?
Orbiter Finance is a decentralized cross-rollup bridge for transferring assets between L1 and L2 networks. It offers reduced transaction fees and faster execution compared to conventional bridges.
As of today, the bridge is compatible with an array of networks, namely: Ethereum, zkSync Era, zkSync Lite, Polygon, Polygon zkEVM, Arbitrum, Arbitrum Nova, Loopring, Optimism, Immutable X, StarkNet, BNB Сhain and more are to be added in the future.
A particularly appealing feature of this system is that it bypasses direct interaction with smart contracts when using the bridge. Instead, it directly transfers assets to your chosen network wallet from its decentralized liquidity pool. This innovation bolsters the security level, shielding both users and the project from potential cyberattacks – a regrettably frequent occurrence in the crypto sphere.
