Help a fellow web3 noob:

Experimenting w claiming first airdrop ever, from @degen. Wallet won’t let me, claims insufficient funds. I have both L1/L2 eth on wallet. 

What am I doing wrong? 😑

Update: I was helped by @links who sent me gas fee pocket money so I could finally claim 🥳 

sorry for late reply, been a hecka busy day, really appreciate all your offers to help 🥰

While this process seems quite complex, im sure there’s some logic to this that I’m not quite getting. One step at the time…

Yes I finally figured it out!! I was so excited 😁

I was surprised to not find any noob-friendly guidance that helped me though! Are all “claim” experiences like this, everyone on their own?

Would be nice with a one-page instruction for noobs, a heads up next to claim button, patron program (kind folks who are willing to donate to first timers) etc

While it’s just a one time problem for everyone, it’s quite a hurdle. Happy to help, this is kinda my field of expertise rn

You’ll need some DEGEN on the DEGEN chain to cover gas fees for claiming.

$11 might not be worth the hassle.
You will need to bridge some degen over to degen chain and possible ETH not sure. It’s minuscule amounts but you still need it. 

I would use stargate.finance

Thx 🙏 
I do need to do it to build my web3 literacy! (I have accepted that crypto will cost me until I learn the ropes 💸)

What you actually need is some Degen on the Degen chain. 

Swap some ETH(Base) to DEGEN(Base). Then bridge the DEGEN(Base) to the DEGEN you need on the Degen chain -

This is the website and all you have to do is put a small amount and do a transfer like from the screenshot (this is assuming you have some degen on base chain.

I’m gonna try doing this on my own even tho I already got my problem solved, just to know how it works. Thanks for showing me!

2/2 Need to move your $DEGEN? Use @stargatefinance to bridge with minimal fees to @base, Ethereum, or Arbitrum.

Happy New Year—and cheers to making 2025 even better!

You need like $1 of ETH on the Degen chain. @ideas just went through this as a noob yesterday and can confirm and probably help. You can do that on Stargate....
