Been a while since I gave actionable steps on Scroll via my first thread, so here goes nothing
I personally believe Scroll learned from the mistakes of Starknet, and their tweet shortly afterwards is no coincidence.
-----------------
Short Scroll Guide📜
#1 Bridge in - orbiter.finance
▫️ Bridge $ETH to Scroll
You can use other bridging solutions such as Rhino, Layerswap, and Symbiosis. I prefer Orbiter due to token confirmation and own L2 launch.
#2 Volume - syncswap.xyz
▫️ Swap ETH <> USDC, USDT, or BTC
Syncswap has no token.
#3 Volume - app.aperture.finance
▫️ Swap ETH <> USDC, USDT, or BTC
Aperture has no token.
#4 Volume - scroll.ambient.finance
▫️ Swap ETH <> USDC, USDT, or BTC
▫️ Optional: Provide Liquidity until 🪂
If you want bull market exposure, you could LP ETH & BTC with a 10-20% range, depending on how often you want to rebalance. For a more hedged/fee-based approach, LP ETH & USDC.
Ambient is one of my highest conviction LP farms, and I partially use previous airdrop proceeds to increase my exposure.
#5 Contract - minter.merkly.com
▫️ Deploy your own contract
Scroll is developer-centered; we even received an NFT in the past to deploy a contract. Wouldn't rule it out that fresh deployed contracts will get honored as well.
Could also consider minting an NFT on Merkly, and bridging it to Base. This interacts with @LayerZero_Labs and @PolyhedraZK: minter.merkly.com
#6 NFT - zonic.app
▫️ Buy a cheap NFT
Some NFTs go for as little as $0.30, definitely a great way to add some diversity to your wallet.
#7 Bridge out - zkbridge.com
▫️ Bridge from Scroll → Mantle
▫️ Withdraw some $MNT from a CEX so you can bridge to other chains through Orbiter. Can also refuel via Merkly or SquidRouter.
zkBridge is costly - but again - Polyhedra is one of my highest conviction, near-term interoperability bets.
Mantle is the cheapest chain to bridge to.
A simple list with more dApps to interact with:
defillama.com
Remember: the more unique dApps you use, the better. I like Izumi, Zebra, Metavault, Dodo, Sushi, and Satori from that list. Use DefiLlama links for dApps, as those are vetted.
-----------------
Repeat similar steps a few times per month - consistency is key to ensure your wallet is within the Top 15-20% range.
I'm not overcomplicating my Scroll interactions; the most successful airdrops have proven to be simple, yet effective. Arbitrum, Uniswap, Jito, Jupiter, Dymension, to name a few.

If you have issues with transactions not going through, switch RPC: chainlist.org
Some more confirmation re: Scroll
I recommend using the official bridge at least 2-3 times over the course of months after bridging fees have been reduced
