Cryptic hints from @sandypeng on keeping expectations low for the airdrop. ​ But I'm still minting as many Canvas badges as I can with ‘reasonable’ fees. ​ As I'm convinced they’ll play an important role in $SCR. ​ Here’s a full cost breakdown of 25 more Scroll badges I’ve collected: ​ _______________________________________ ​ I've minted 64 badges so far, but I'm only able to show a maximum of 48 on the Canvas page. Before minting any Canvas badges: ​ I had to mint a Scroll Canvas which cost me 0.0005 ETH (~ $1.50). ​ ​ Feel free to use my referral (otherwise the minting fee is 0.001 ETH): ​ ​ scroll.io/canvas/invite/5TSQ… ​ Scroll changed the UI and we can finally view all badges on one page: ​ ​ scroll.io/canvas-and-badges ​ (The links to every badge can be found above) ​ Here's how much I paid for 25 more badges: _______________________________________ ​ XStar (3 badges) ​ I bought the .scroll domain in my previous breakdown (a prerequisite for these 3 badges). ​ These were the other tasks I had to complete. ​ ❍ Send an email on Scroll with Dmail ❍ Swap ≥ $10 on Izumi ❍ Bridge ≥ $10 to Scroll with Rhino ​ The first 2 badges only cost me gas fees to mint them, while I paid 0.0005442 ($1.41) to bridge with Rhino. ​ _______________________________________ ​ MemeBridge (2 badges) Bridge 1/3 times to Scroll ​ One of the cheapest bridges where I paid $0.09 per transaction. ​ Which is reasonable compared to the crazy fees that @Owlto_Finance or @Orbiter_Finance charge. ​ With 3 bridges, I only spent $0.27 for 2 @MemebridgeB badges. ​ _______________________________________ ​ RubyScore (1 badge) ​ It cost me 0.0003ETH ($0.74) to mint an NFT and qualify for this badge. ​ _______________________________________ ​ XY Finance (2 badges) Bridge ≥ $25 ​ Bridging fees on @xyfinance are reasonable at 0.000055 ETH ($0.14). Add ≥ $100 liquidity I paid these amounts when adding liquidity to their pools: ​ ❍ Adding liquidity: 0.0001896 ETH ($0.48) ❍ Removing liquidity 0.000158 ETH ($0.40) ​ _______________________________________ ​ Owlto (1 badge) ​ I finally did a bridge from Astar zkEVM to Scroll, which cost me 0.001 ETH ($2.51). ​ It’s not worth doing more transactions unless absolutely necessary, so I don’t plan to get the higher-tier badges. ​ _______________________________________ ​ Toaster (2 badges) Bridge ≥ $300 in a single transaction ​ I bridged through the swap feature on @toasterfinance with Across, and it cost me $0.08 in fees. ​ My referral code for Toaster if you need it: 44STLAUM ​ toaster.finance/exchange ​ Bridge ≥ $1,000 via multiple transactions With the same $300, I bridged 4 times to hit $1,000 in volume. ​ But if you have the capital, it's possible to do this in one shot. ​ The route I used and the fees incurred: ​ ❍ Bridge to Scroll with Toaster-Across x4 ($0.08 per bridge) ❍ Bridge from Scroll to another L2 with Jumper-Stargate x4 (~ $0.30 per bridge) ​ Total cost: $1.52 ​ That way, I'm pushing more transactions on Stargate and Toaster. ​ Hyperlane/Relay is more expensive than Stargate when bridging out of Scroll. ​ _______________________________________ ​ OmniHub (2 badges) ​ Here are the fees I paid for 2 badges: ​ Mint a .omnihub domain 0.0004 ETH ($1.03) ​ Mint the OmniHub Guardian NFT 0.0005 ETH ($1.24) ​ _______________________________________ ​ RetroBridge (2 badges) Bridge/swap 2 times to Scroll ​ I own the Early Sunrise NFT for RetroBridge, which gives me a fee discount. ​ Here's how much I paid for both badges: ​ ❍ $1.75 when bridging ETH from Base to Scroll ❍ $1.87 for swapping USDC to ETH ❍ $1.83 for swapping USDT to ETH ​ I minted the 1st badge (RetroBridger) in the previous round, so I only needed 1 more bridge to get the MasterBridger badge. ​ I had to pay $1.98 when swapping USDC to USDT, so I didn't see a point in doing a stable-to-stable swap. ​ _______________________________________ ​ Lazy Sloth (1 badge) ​ I paid 0.0004 ETH ($0.91) to mint the NFT and qualify for this badge. ​ _______________________________________ ​ Galaxy Bridge (2 badges) Bridge $10/$100 to Scroll ​ Another tokenless bridge, @GalaxyExchangeX is a bridge aggregator similar to Jumper. ​ But even when using Across, I had to pay 0.00062 ETH ($1.42). No thanks to the protocol fee. The fees were worse when using @Orbiter_Finance or @symbiosis_fi. ​ Galaxy is running a raffle on Intract, and I hope to win it while earning back some of my fees (ends 4th Oct): ​ intract.io/quest/66d5eceaa46… ​ _______________________________________ ​ Interport (4 badges) ​ Completing 3 tasks on Interport helped me earn 4 badges: ​ Swap I paid 0.0006 ETH ($1.38) for a cross-chain swap. ​ Bridge ​I'm not sure why they had to make it so complicated, as bridging USDT/USDC/USDB to Scroll does not count. ​ These were the other options I could bridge to Scroll with Interport: ​ ❍ ITP ❍ ENA ❍ USDe/sUSDe ❍ Wrapped stETH I bridged USDe from Optimism to Scroll and it cost me a fee of ​0.0004 ETH ($0.91). ​ Refuel I chose to refuel from zkSync, but there are other options that also offer low fees. (like Arbitrum or Optimism) I paid 0.00033623345 ETH ($0.77) for this refuel. ​ While the fees were expensive, Interport helped me complete 3 more LayerZero transactions. This played a role in my 'Unclaimed Token Reallocation'. ​ Complete 3+ cross-chain transactions By completing the quests above, I was able to mint the final badge for Interport. ​ _______________________________________ ​ Scroll Keeper Badge (HypoDrop) Mint an NFT on OmniHub ​ I paid 0.000185 ($0.47) in total to mint this NFT, which is not too expensive compared to other badges. ​ _______________________________________ ​ Vessel (2 badges) Add $50/$200 in LP value on Vessel ​ One of the 'highly-rated' tokenless projects on Scroll, I deposited $200 (split equally in ETH and WBTC). ​ To add liquidity at a 10% price range, I had to deposit a minimum of these amounts: ​ ❍ 0.042 ETH ❍ 0.001644 WBTC If I wanted a wider price range, I had to deposit a higher amount, with the 50% deposit requiring ≥ 0.2 ETH. ​ Vessel seems rather underfarmed, and I'm in the top 1k on the 24h leaderboard with just $200 deposited. ​ I'm earning 4 Vessel miles (points)/5 minutes, so it'll take about 10 days before I hit 10,000 miles for the final Canvas badge. ​ Referral link for Vessel below: ​ trade.vessel.finance/login?c… ​ _______________________________________ ​ Total cost for 25 badges: $20.05 This latest batch is slightly cheaper compared to my second round of badges. ​ Why even bother with Scroll Canvas badges? ​ Many are dismissing Canvas badges because anyone can create them, with hints from Scroll's Discord that they don't have any value. ​ But it forces me to expand my on-chain footprint on Scroll while interacting with tokenless protocols, so I see this as a 2-in-1 opportunity. ​ Even if Scroll disappoints and does a poor airdrop, at least I'm still exposed to another tokenless project. ​ However, this is entirely speculation and it's perfectly fine to skip these tasks. ​ I do think it could be worth minting at least 48 badges to fill out the entire Canvas. ​ This is the third cost breakdown I've done, and here's how much I paid for another 20 badges on my Canvas: ​ xitter.cf/FIP_Crypto/status/1827… ​ Thanks for reading! ​ ​ If you want more like this: ​ ​ 1.
