I help you become a future-proof airdrop hunter.

Sharing practical strategies that grew my onchain and social footprint since 2023 (without wasting time).
All in on Anichess with my veAERO holdings, let's see how this one plays out.

LITKEY didn't give the same return as SYND, but it was still higher than my weekly average.

I'm still claiming rewards to make back my initial AERO buys.

A good reminder that not every project is your friend.

Some are looking to dump on you, some are looking to farm you for metrics.

One must wonder why a MON liquid staking project launches a token on Ethereum/BSC.

And it's definitely not to 'reward the community'.

There are too many opportunities in crypto, so the key skill is having good judgment to filter them.

We all have time and capital constraints, so we need to choose those that give us the highest ROI.

Choose apps that energise you instead of farming those you hate.

Your Neynar score and Farcaster ID will play a key role in future airdrops.

Here's the easiest way to check both:

Chat with the Neynar Mini App and you'll get both metrics right away.

Another proof of 'you can just interact with things' and get airdrops along the way.

We get allocations (Espresso) if we're active users of other projects in the same vertical (LayerZero)

I didn't make it for Initia's allocation, so let's see what criteria Espresso uses.

A free NFT to mint on ApeChain (which I've barely touched).

But this gives me exposure to another Caldera powered rollup, which may or may not amount to anything.

Minting ends on Nov 14:

The airdrops game is just outsmarting Sybils:

Finding ways to give value to a project and get rewarded for it.

The project gets to decide how valuable our contributions are (and not us).

So we do what we can to cover all bases (and hope for the best).

If you want better airdrops:

❍ Build your onchain footprint
❍ Build your social proof
❍ Build your luck surface area

You don’t wait for luck. You engineer it.

Tired of watching KOLs flex while you get nothing?

I broke down the 3 mindset shifts that helped me earn airdrops without being an insider.

Yesterday, 5,472 readers learned how to win the airdrop game by focusing on value creation (and not luck).

Espresso is using the modular/infra strategy to allocate their airdrop.

We should get something decent just by being active on Espresso-powered rollups, though I likely won't be considered a top LOGX user.

Modular rollups are still the best passive airdrop stacking strategy.

The key reasons why the airdrop farming drama blew out of proportion:

❍ Twitter forces us to write in 280 chars
❍ TikTok fried our attention spans
❍ The algo feeds into drama

Too much misunderstanding of the points being made.

Another reason why long-form is king now.

Spent another $1 to mint an NFT on the Aura Mini App.

Still not sure what they do, but looks like it's another SocialFi project.

I mainly did this to improve my Farcaster and Base footprint by interacting with more Mini Apps.

The trinity of factors that led to this toxic state of airdrop farming:

❍ Humans are greedy in nature
❍ Projects reward low-value tasks to inflate metrics
❍ KOLs overhype and create unrealistic expectations of the airdrop

Everyone has a part to play in how we got here.

InfoFi revealed the true colours of many creators who mindlessly yap for rewards.

Just because it incentivises noise generation, it doesn't mean that dopamine yapping is the only way to get rich in this space.

Build trust by giving real value, and we'll earn wealth long-term.

Paid $1 for this Coingecko X Moonbirds SBT on the Ethereum Mainnet, purely for the footprint.

This ends on 20 Nov:

Pretty much one of the reasons why I've started using Farcaster more often:

The team has been pushing out updates for a more crypto-native UI.

Their user base is not as big as CT yet, so it's the best time to grow a presence there for access to new opportunities.

Reputation is the most valuable asset for airdrops:

❍ How you transact onchain
❍ How you show alignment (through token or NFT holdings)
❍ What you say on social platforms

Projects will only reward high-value individuals, so we have to prove that we're one of them.

Many creators will soon realise this:

Farming every single leaderboard burns you out because it's a mindless grind when you're talking about projects just for rewards.

Talk about projects that truly interest you, and not those that pay you the most.

Fees for HIP-3 assets are 2x more expensive than a usual trade on Hyperliquid.

So our profit per trade (especially on Builder DEXes) needs to be higher to cover these fees.

I'm only making a few trades here and there since I'll lose money as an active trader.

Not signing Kinetiq's Terms of Use will make you ineligible for the airdrop.

It's nice that they have this notification, so I can confirm that I've already signed the terms.

We have until Nov 21 to sign it:

The new alpha is to build a credible presence on Farcaster.

Your footprint there (including Neynar score) will be used to determine eligibility for access to opportunities.

I barely made the cut for the FID Punks mint, and will pay more attention to future ones.

Yet another veDEX on HyperEVM when we already have KittenSwap and UltraSolid.

For the flywheel to work, there needs to be volume generated.

It's still one that I'll monitor before depositing some funds at launch.

Vanity metrics can be easily gamed, so they are meaningless.

The real influence we have is what others say about us when we're not there.

I definitely don't want someone to call me a dopamine yapper.

The reason why airdrops evolved is because Sybils ruined them.

If Sybils can replicate the same tasks that we do, then it's just a low-value contribution.

Apart from all the 'spammy' criteria, just work on building a unique onchain and social reputation.

Airdrops are evolving towards alignment and intent.

What you do (and say) will be used to determine access to new opportunities.

Projects won't want to reward you just because you prove that you're a 'unique human'.

Proof of valuable work is the new meta.
