🐣 Citrea for Tiny Titans: How to Establish Your Presence (and Maximize Rewards) Think of this like leveling up in a game: every action earns you points toward your Citrea “power score.” The more meaningful actions you take — especially the ones the campaign actually tracks — the more visible you are in the ecosystem. Ready? Let’s go!
🎮 1. 📲 Get Your Tools (Wallet + Accounts) 🪙 Step-by-Step:
Install an EVM-compatible wallet. Use MetaMask (or similar) and add the Citrea Mainnet network once it’s in your wallet. Learn the chain ID: 4114.
Connect to the Citrea dashboard. Go to: app.citrea.xyz — this is where your progress gets tracked.
Stay plugged into official channels. Join:
Citrea Discord — where codes, contest drops, and tips appear.
Citrea X (Twitter) — for announcement drops. These channels sometimes give out bonuses and campaign updates.
🎯 Why this matters: Without connecting your wallet and accounts properly, your actions won’t count toward the campaign dashboard. So this step is non-negotiable.
🚚 2. 🌉 Bridger Category — Bring BTC Into Citrea 🧠 What to do:
Move Bitcoin (BTC) into Citrea and get cBTC via the Bridge Hub (using integrated bridges like Atomiq, Symbiosis, or Clementine).
The first category is already live and actively counting your activity.
💡 Pro Tips:
There’s a Week 1 Boost for early bridgers — so bridging early and in volume gets you a head start.
If you run out of gas tokens on Citrea, you can bridge a tiny amount of USDC specifically to refill gas.
Keep your assets on the platform longer — the campaign measures net inflow and retention time.
💥 Play Level Up: Bridge different pairs (BTC, USDC → ctUSD) to show diverse participation.
🧪 3. 💧 Liquidity Provider — Be a Pool Hero 🌊 What it tracks:
How much and how long you provide liquidity.
The specific pools you choose (e.g., ctUSD-cBTC).
🛠 How to do it:
Use DEXs Satsuma and JuiceSwap to add liquidity — especially to the ctUSD-cBTC pool — these usually show high APR and better campaign weighting in early days.
⚡ Quick Strategy:
Provide liquidity earlier and keep it active.
Reinvest any LP rewards you earn back into these pools (compounding effect).
Track updates every Tuesday and Friday when the dashboard refreshes.
📈 4. 📊 Trader Category — Make Quality Trades 🔁 What’s counted:
Your trades across Citrea DEXs (Satsuma, JuiceSwap) and via aggregators like Fibrous, Rango, or Squid.
🎯 Smart trader moves:
Do real trades (not tiny dust trades) so your activity is valuable and non-spammy.
Diversify: trade different pairs and token types to show engagement breadth.
Avoid huge single trades with massive price impact — stable performance over time looks better to campaign metrics.
🧠 5. 🌱 Be Ready for “Lender”, “Yield Strategist”, & “Adventurer” These haven’t gone live yet, but when they do: 🔥 Lender: Borrow against your cBTC (e.g., borrow ctUSD) — this shows advanced utilization. 🥇 Yield Strategist: Use yield tools or BTC-based vaults when available — aim for diversified yield rather than simple holding. 🧭 Adventurer: Expect interactive and creative tasks — predictions markets, NFT engagement, privacy tools, or game-like tasks emerging from the ecosystem. Keep an eye on campaign announcements — often they preview those categories and tips to qualify early.
📣 6. 🚀 Beyond On-Chain Actions — Boost Your Cred This part is gameplay outside the on-chain metrics but still counts in real life: ✨ Join Social Campaigns Participate in contest channels like Citrea Moments — post memes, quality content, quizzes, or explanatory threads. These often give engagement points that sometimes feed into broader reward eligibility. 🧑🤝🧑 Become a Community Contributor Running meetups, creating tools, or writing tutorials can put you in a recognized builder track, which teams sometimes reward separately. 🧾 Track Everything Keep snapshots of:
Wallet addresses
Screenshots of contributions
Transaction receipts
If something doesn’t show up on the dashboard (and it should), you can escalate with proof.
🚦 What’s the Overall Big Picture? Citrea is not just another chain — it’s Bitcoin’s first production ZK-rollup L2, bringing decentralized finance primitives natively to BTC. That means your early participation is actually helping build real infrastructure, not just grinding points. Your goal in this campaign is to:
Contribute early and consistently
Participate in all active categories
Prepare for new categories when they drop
Engage in community plus on-chain activity
Record proof of your actions
If you want, I can also provide a checklist and daily/weekly routine specifically tailored to the campaign update schedule (e.g., focus X actions on Tuesdays and Fridays when dashboards update). Want that playbook too? 🧠✨
