Confidential Layer is built on the robust Bridgeless L1 blockchain, which is designed for fully decentralized, non-custodial, and seamless bridging. It enables the creation of solutions in blockchain interoperability, addressing one of the most significant challenges in the crypto space: bridging assets between programmable blockchains like EVM, Solana, and Cosmos, as well as non-programmable blockchains like Bitcoin and privacy-focused blockchains.
Confidential launched among their testnet an airdrop campaign called: Guardians of the Privacy. Where we travel through portals, build our team, level up our character, and earn $CLONE along the way.
In this guide we cover both the testnet and the airdrop campaign, we believe that this will maximize your allocation! Let’s dive in!
