6) What is the benefit of bridging to zkSync via Jumper?
Bridging to zkSync via Jumper makes you eligible to participate in the bi-weekly Jumper raffle and gives you a boosted APR on your deposits into DeFi.
7) What does the Jumper Ignite Raffle consist of?
Every two weeks, Jumper organises a raffle based on the amount of liquidity bridged via Jumper, which is then deposited to zkSync pools. → 1 point = $1 deployed in incentivised DeFi pools for 1 day. e.g: If you deposit $1M for 14 days, you get 14M points.
The raffle size increases depending on the number of points bridged and deposited by Jumper users:
At the end of the two weeks, five users get to share the pot through a weighted-raffle based on their number of points accumulated in the last two weeks.
