So it turns out @HyperliquidX was the best-executed and most rewarding Airdrop & TGE this cycle by a LONG shot. ▫️ ACTUALLY rewarding early users —— TVL early on was under $10M, making it easy to rack up >1000 weekly points with minimal effort. It stayed like this for months. ▫️ Constantly evolving the points algorithm and rewarding different activities on a weekly basis —— providing liquidity, perps volume, spot volume, holding eco coins, refs. Each mattered on different timeframes, encouraging you to explore all facets of the platform. ▫️ Midway through the points program, playtest the TGE by airdropping $PURR 1:1 based on your points, resulting in 4-6 fig airdrops for many users and keeping everyone motivated to reach the finish line. ▫️ Once the points program 'officially' concluded, add a fat bonus in points for users who continued using the platform despite no clear incentive to do so (=organic usage). ▫️ Airdropping 31% (!) of the initial supply —— ZERO to CEXs, private investors, or market makers. You either had to engage with the platform to get your share, or be forced to buy at the FAIR market rate. And to top it all off, launch a killer platform that goes far beyond being a simple Perp DEX. The UI/UX and PMF are so clean that Hyperliquid sees sustained usage even after the initial incentives ended, while outperforming competitors on key metrics by a country mile. Absolute master class in delivery. I bow my hat to @chameleon_jeff, @KingJulianIAm, and the rest of the Hyperliquid team. If you are a Crypto project trying to be successful, I'll leave you with the following two words: Study Hyperliquid. And of course, thank you for the lifechanging wealth generation event @HyperliquidX . 🫡

Wormhole's recent $225M raise makes it a worthy contender in the interoperability sector, ranking just behind LayerZero. In light of this, I've handcrafted a route w/ high odds to qualify you for $HOLE 8 Chains. 8 dApps. 2 Messaging protocols. The Ultimate Wormhole Route ⭕⬇️

Even if you didn't qualify for the [Cosmos Airdrop coin that shall not be named], I don't think it's too late to get started. On the contrary; Cosmos & Celestia airdrop szn is just beginning. ------------------ Introducing: The 'Organic Cosmos Farmoor' Guide 1) Withdraw $OSMO from a CEX 2) Swap on app.osmosis.zone/ 40% for $TIA | 30% $ATOM | 30% $OSMO 3) IBC transfer each coin to its respective chain: app.osmosis.zone/assets 4) Liquidstake 10% of your $TIA bag: app.milkyway.zone/ Yes, you can technically just swap into $milkTIA on Osmosis, but our goal is to increase our Celestia on-chain footprint to be labeled as 'organic user'. We only stake 10% as it's not 100% confirmed that $milkTIA Stakers will receive all the Celestia eco airdrops, although the team is working on it. 5) Stake the rest of your $TIA bag wallet.keplr.app/chains/cele… 6) Stake your entire $ATOM bag wallet.keplr.app/chains/cosm… 7) Stake your entire $OSMO bag wallet.keplr.app/chains/osmo… [Keep a small amount to pay for gas & proposals] For tips on which validator to choose, refer to this guide: nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… 8) Vote on Governance Proposals: wallet.keplr.app/?tab=active… Proposals occur frequently for Osmosis, moderately for Cosmos, and never occurred for Celestia so far. 9) ▫️ Claim Staking rewards ▫️ IBC transfer them to Osmosis ▫️ Swap between tokens Repeat steps 8) and 9) a few times per month. Let it rain sweet governance power upon you from cutting edge, state-of-the-art, Cosmos-centered projects. Call it the future of Finance and watch your airdropped bags pump to Valhalla. 🌌 It's that simple!
A few nuggets on how to properly run the Cosmos Airdrop Playbook #1 - Stake 'Size' Even if you're a smol fish, aim for at least $100 for each Cosmos coin. If you're short on funds and can't stake them all, I'd prioritize the following: 1) Atom 2) Celestia 3) Osmosis 4) Injective/Kujira → Celestia filtered <$75, Namada filtered <$100 rpgfdrop.namada.net/ #2 - Stake with Validators outside Top 15 Outside Top 25 is even better, as it supports effective decentralization. → Has been used as an airdrop criterion by Nomic #3 - Stake with IBC Relayers IBC Relayers fulfill an important role of the Cosmos by making it possible to bridge/transfer between chains. → Signal airdropped exclusively to users staking with IBC Relayers List with some IBC Relayers nitter.app/SignalSGNL/statu… #4 - DON'T Stake with CEXs They usually have the most voting power and have been excluded from Airdrops in the past. #5 - Vote on Proposals You don't have to vote on every single proposal, but I recommend voting at least 2-3x per month. → It allows you to get cheap, organic txs in and has also been used by Fortis, and 'soon'-to-launch Gno wallet.keplr.app/?tab=active… #6 - Conduct IBC Transfers and Swaps Example: - Claim Staking Rewards - Transfer them to Osmosis via IBC: app.osmosis.zone/assets - Trade between Coins → Celestia paid attention to your transaction history, as well as how many IBC Transfers you've done. blog.celestia.org/genesis-dr… ---------------- That sums up it in terms of importance. Following this playbook has VERY high odds of qualifying you for the absolute barrage of Cosmos Airdrops that'll happen throughout 2024. It's also low maintenance once you have everything set up. Happy Staking, Anon

On Eclipse I have done some more things: 1) Bought a Domain Name: eclipse.alldomains.id Requires X Signup = some Sybil resistance, which I like 2) Minted one of the three currently available NFTs: scopenft.xyz/ Unlike ASC and Validators, these will likely be worthless, but they deepen my footprint for $3-$4 3) Spent the last few hours manually clicking 21,809 times: tap.eclipse.xyz/ Eclipse OG @SondreayW was generous enough to provide me with a code. If you don't have a code, Eclipse will probably gradually roll more out. Everyone only gets 3 codes = good anti-dilution The strategy on Tap - Click all manual; Eclipse might filter auto-clickers - Use a dual-monitor setup: watch a movie/vid on the second monitor while clicking on the other - I bought 100,000 Clicks for 0.005 ETH. The way it works is that Eclipse frontloads your wallet with 100k usable clicks before you have to purchase again My personal goal is to reach 1M clicks and burn through $170. If I do 50K clicks per day, I'll get there in 20 Days. Don't think there's a reason to be this 'hardcore' —— and a lot less than that will likely suffice The goal of the Tap Game is to stress-test the chain while keeping it somewhat entertaining through gamification Makes you think: Maybe TX Count plays a role if Eclipse were to launch a token? ---------------------- On a side note: Eclipse recorded its highest TPS today at 628, which is the highest under a 'non-controlled' environment across all L2s Context: The 'record' was set by Starknet (5B FDV) under a controlled stress-test: 857 TPS. TPS today: 1.33 Base, the hottest L2, hit 106.26 TPS in Nov '24 Done diluting Eclipse for now, or it'll become overcrowded 🫡
.@EclipseFND is probably the next decent project to keep an eye on Fuel paid off well from an effort & risk perspective, and Eclipse might be similar given the barrier to entry → you need 2 separate wallets (I might even farm Fuel S2) There will likely be a points program for Eclipse considering their ToS' mentions a 'Turbo Tap' program & 'Grass' rewards w/ no monetary value. That being said, competent teams usually reward early adopters generously retroactively So far I've been: ▫️Bridging in through Hyperlane: nitter.app/CC2Ventures/status/185… ▫️ LPing ETH/tETH on Orca (can also do SOL/ETH, etc.) Personally need to expand more and try out different dApps over there Great detailed guide below by @atoms_res

Updated List of most of the Airdrops I’m still farming to this day - with some commentary Activity/TX-based --- L2s --- ▫️ Scroll Weekly TXs across different dApps. Goal is to utilize at least 20+ diff dApps and + $100K Volume until Airdrop. Team is listening to feedback in ADVANCE and Vitalik is bullish. Feeling good about this one, even if very popular and 'overfarmed' ▫️ Liquidswap/Pontem/Lumio Bridged ETH into Lumio and got the 4 badges. Main task now consists of swapping 2-3 a week on Liquidswap, and providing some liquidity. Good Aptos exposure play while team is listening to community feedback. ▫️ Orderly (+ LogX) Pushing at least $300k weekly volume. Not recommended if you play with a small stack. I'm just doing it because there's an 'end in sight' and a pick-and-shovel play on perp DEXs is interesting. Shrimps can combine it with Galxe Quests for bonus points ▫️ Zora 2-3 mints a month. Important to also create your own collection and have people mint it. $ENJOY Airdrop paid for all fees by tenfold. ▫️ zkSync Mainly just using ZyFi on zkSync, with a little bit of Syncswap and Bebop. Just keeping my footprint up, and fees are dirt-cheap. ▫️ Linea TX milking seems to be over. I just LP a couple hundred $ for Linea Surge. Sunken cost fallacy (might as well go all the way) --- Interoperability --- ▫️ Hyperlane Current highest conviction play in the interop sector. But so was LZ, so take this with a large grain of salt I like their modular angle + customizable security. Can connect to ANY EVM or Cosmos chain at this very moment and has cheaper fees/is faster - giving it an edge over higher funded competitors Interoperability projects are technically a pick-and-shovel play across all L1/L2/L3/L69s, but the market doesn't seem to value them as such (yet) What matters the most is likely using their flagship bridge: usenexus.org/ ▫️ Jumper Hitting 10 Chains every month, and trying to use it whenever I swap tokens. Good PMF, good funding, good dApp. Has over 1M wallets though = overfarmed ▫️ Bungee (+Zapper) Similar to Jumper, bit less comprehensive. They're building a ton of stuff (not a meme, look up Socket Twitter). Zapper hinted at token today; still using it as it's also powered by Socket ▫️ Mayan Wormhole still has an allocation reserved for Airdrop #2. Mayan is a great EVM <> Solana bridge. No need to overcomplicate it ▫️ Squidrouter Raised a substantial amount and is somewhat flying under-the-radar. I like to use it to bridge into/from Scroll and Base. Using it less than other interop projects ▫️ deBridge When you farm deBridge, you farm an ICO. Burn to-earn airdrops have yet to disappoint, so I might as well participate to a certain extent (no need to go too ham) ▫️ Orbiter Milking for years. Honestly think Orbiter has great PMF because of smooth UI/UX. Whenever I'm lazy, I just use Orbiter because it's simple, reliable, and fast. Bearish on their airdrop, but you never know --- Lower-ranked Interoperability --- ▫️ ZetaChain #2 Lower ranked bc they already airdropped once. Very cheap to get Weekly XP and somewhat fun, so why not ▫️ Magpie 'April TGE' didn't hold true = bearish. Still pushing some txs, as it qualified me for Wormhole. Jump in seed, but Jump is in 500 projects anyway ▫️ Rango 'Profile' tab doesn't work properly = bearish. Not sure if they even track activity. Very mild usage from my side. Plus point: Available on a lot of chains = increasing unique dApp usage (e.g. for Scroll) ▫️ Zerion Raised $22M. I bought one of the cheapest NFTs and now just swap and bridge 1x per month. Too expensive as they take a 0.725% fee. Should probably use their wallet and other products too if you're serious about qualifying. Maybe they replicate MM and just never launch a token --- Solana --- ▫️ Tensor Szn #4 Farmed it since early 2023, absolutely insane airdrop. Will likely deliver again, BUT NFT trading is very PVP. Not recommended for someone not well-versed in that particular bracket (easy to lose all your $) ▫️ PhoenixTrade 1 Limit trade every second day, on literally 1 wallet. Have done the same for Drift, and it paid off IMMENSELY. Solana Airdrops = gud ▫️ Backpack Exchange 2-3 trades per day, just swapping Memecoins. Backpack has deep connections, and you always get your fees back on eco airdrops to BP (Wormhole, Pyth, Tensor, etc) --- Liquidity-based--- ▫️ Sanctum + Meteora Good 2-in-1 play. No Jito replication, but if you have size, very comfy farm with Solana price exposure. Meteora has Jupiter team members overlap. ▫️ Elixir Bullish on perp pick-and-shovel plays. Pairs net decent yield (15-20%) with BTC/ETH exposure ▫️ Ambient (mainly on Scroll) Lots of building ongoing (not a meme). It's comfy because it's on Scroll, maybe some kind of Berachain angle too ▫️ Zircuit Was initially very bullish because L2, then I realized everyone is building an L2 nowadays. Still decent to get: Zircuit, Eigen #2, LRT of choice, ETH exposure (lol) + yield ▫️ MarginFi They took too long to launch their token, so the market won't be generous. I'm still in it because I'm too lazy to pay back my loans and withdraw. Kamino replication is MUCH more likely than Jito. Plus point: If you deposit INF, you qualify for 3 airdrops in 1 This is getting too long, so here's a couple more I'm in without commentary (small positions): Swell L2, Blackwing, Mitosis (I like this one, need to increase size), Gravita, Nostra, StackingDAO, Bitflow --- Main Focus --- Scroll, Hyperlane, Jumper, Liquidswap, Tensor, Elixir, Sanctum + Meteora, Zircuit for a 4-in-1 Lego, maybe Bungee. Would also add Ambient but it will be disappointing for most because it's linear A lot of the airdrops I'm farming will inevitably: • End up worth dust due to bad execution / no PMF • Airdrop years out, also known as 'time rugging' you But a bunch of them will also: • Turn out a lot more lucrative than you'd expect (akin to Jito, Wormhole, Manta Galxe) • Indirectly qualify you for other airdrops (result: Avail, zkFair, Celestia) Having high conviction in a single airdrop essentially means you are placing your entire faith in ONE project/founder, relying on them to execute properly coupled with a TON of additional variables (hoping to be in their grace) It’s why a spray-and-pray approached has worked best for me – ‘consistently’ making a couple thousands here and there, until it eventually amounts to a sizeable stack and reaches critical mass The result of it is that you can now focus harder on a handful of projects (whether through more transactions or liquidity), while STILL keeping your footprint up on your 'spray-and-pray' basket Study the term 'Airdrop Snowball' - the TradFi equivalent would be called 'Compound Interest' While it's true that Memecoins vastly outclassed airdrop proceeds, there's still no better way for someone that starts with a couple hundred $ to get capitalized; especially on a risk-adjusted return basis The correct way to approach it was: • Immediately start airdrop farming post-Arbitrum, upon realization that this particular niche is still highly inefficient • Qualify for a couple hundred thousand worth of airdrop proceeds • Keep airdrop farming, while shoveling some of it into Memecoins - put on 'the big long' Not to pad my own back, but I tweeted about this particular strategy a bunch of times (k it is in fact a brag) nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… This doesn't signify it's over for Airdrops even if you haven't been capitalized yet. It just means it has become INCREDIBLY more saturated and competitive, with a lot of turds along the way resulting in 'dust-drops', and teams taking advantage of airdrop mania The market has simply become more efficient and the edge has been slimmed down in this particular niche, resulting in a lower ROI, so to speak
1) Get your 'entire family' into the airdrop game 2) Click buttons ad infinitum in a completely stoic manner 3) Realize 6 figures in net profit 4) Gain courage, put on 'le big long' on Memecoins 5) Sit on 7 figures of cold, hard American dollars 6) Financial freedom Wu wei

.@modenetwork just launched their own version of Blast/Manta, and I shall be the first to tweet about it ref.mode.network/N8eiQA ------------------ I know what you're thinking, but hear me out, this version is much better ↓ ▫️ Your funds aren't trapped on the chain; you can bridge 1:1 out any time ▫️ You accrue points for every hour you keep assets on the chain ▫️ Most/bonus points are distributed by engaging with Defi apps, Quests and simply transacting on the chain → not necessarily favoring whales ▫️ As I demonstrated a few days ago, txs are dirt-cheap on Mode Drawback ▫️ You need to bridge ONCE from ETH Mainnet with a referral link to start accruing points; bridge when Gwei is low [e.g. on a weekend] ▫️ Twitter Acc is required as soft sybil-filter That's it? ------------------ To reiterate Transactions, Quests and utilizing DeFi apps matters the most. This is much more favorable for 'small fishes' in comparison to Blast, as you can be on equal footing by showing consistent behavior and grinding it out via Quests and cheap txs. Remember my '$250 burned for $MANTA' tweet that resulted in literally $40K? If not, here are some refreshers: #1 nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… #2 nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… The majority of my $MANTA allocation stemmed from interacting with Manta Quests. ------------------ → $MODE will airdrop in April with 5.5% of the entire supply allocated to the above campaign. Will create some guides once quests launch and how I'll play it. I personally won't be fading it and will bridge more funds soonish. As always, you'll be able to track my tx history and proof of non-LARP through my public wallet. 🐦‍🔥
Mode just went live - this is literally Day 1 They had some Galxe quests that I missed, so their tweet either hints at an airdrop to past Testnet participants, or maybe just celebrating Mainnet launch Either way, doesn't hurt to set your initial footprint ↓ → Bridge from Op/Arb: pheasant.network/ → Swap between ETH <> WETH: dyorswap.finance/ That's literally all there is to do right now, that's how early we are. Airdrop Rumors I just came up with ▫️ Galxe Participants [very obvious] ▫️ Mode is built on the OP stack; they'll share their sequencer revenue with @Optimism – Airdrop to $OP delegates? ▫️ Far-fetched: @PythNetwork is mentioned in their ecosystem – what if? ▫️ Maybe: Rerunning the usual L2 playbook of Arb & OP, and no airdrop upon Mainnet launch – airdrop will occur in 6-12 months from now 🐦‍🔥

Tensor S2, Pyth, Jupiter, and now Jito all either airdropped or announced their snapshot. Despite this, there's still plenty of the 'Solana Liquidity Injection' pie available. Below is my updated list of all $SOL Airdrops I'm currently farming and how to qualify with high confidence. (Sorted by Priority) --------------------- Core Section 🌞 #1 MarginFi - tinyurl.com/MarginFiCC2Ref ▫️ Lend Stables/SOL ▫️ Borrow w/ safe health ratio against them ▫️ Shill your Ref Much like $JTO, you accumulate daily points. We've seen a 5k/day Wallets influx on MarginFi after Jito's 'shrimp-friendly' airdrop criteria. I therefore expect MarginFi to be less lenient on minimum requirements. I'm still ranking it #1 due to simplicity and UX. #2 Tensor S3 - tensor.trade/accept?ref=DNK3… ▫️ Bid & List Top 100 Collections ▫️ Market-Make Top 100 Collections ▫️ Optional: Buy a Tensorian & Stake it to accrue points passively Requires a bit of skill. I recommend bidding NFTs you don't mind holding or that have a somewhat 'stable' price chart so you can instantly relist and sell them again. I personally focus on market-making. I'm also staking a Tensorian for over 3 months now; using my ref will grant you +5% additional points in perpetuity. #3 Backpack Exchange - backpack.exchange/ ▫️ Swap between SOL, PYTH, USDC ▫️ Optional: Buy a MadLad Requires KYC, and trading on Backpack seems pretty slept-on. Might qualify you for Wormhole too ↓ fxtwitter.com/wormholecrypto… #4 MayanSwap - swap.mayan.finance/ ▫️ Swap on Solana ▫️ Bridge between EVM <> Solana Latter will also qualify you for Wormhole. Great 2-in-1 deal. nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… #5 Parcl - app.parcl.co/ ▫️ Provide Liquidity ▫️ Long/Short Real Estate Prices I personally don't know much about RE prices, so I mostly just LP while occasionally longing/shorting randomly w/ small size. Feels very underfarmed/undermentioned despite raising $11.6M. --------------------- Liquidity Providing & Perp Section 💧 #6 Kamino - app.kamino.finance/ ▫️ Provide Liquidity Points will be introduced soon. Feels reasonably 'sleeper', but TVL is increasing at rapid pace post-$JTO. Still one of my favorite picks on that list. #7 Cega - app.cega.fi/ ▫️ Deposit into Vaults ▫️ Optional: Buy 'Cega Super Sanic' NFT for a Points Boost Definitely overlooked at $8.13M TVL & $9.3M funding. Reason: it's not extraordinarily 'revolutionary'. Decent bet nonetheless to chug in a couple $ #8 Meteora ▫️ Provide Liquidity It's possible that no points are currently accruing, given their recent tweet ↓ nitter.app/MeteoraAG/status… I'll 100% participate in their Liquidity Mining Event, starting 1 January '24 #9 Drift - app.drift.trade/ref/cc2ventu… ▫️ Trade Perps ▫️ Optional: Provide Liquidity in DLP or Insurance Vaults Although I'm not particularly bullish on 'yet another cookie cutter perp', I'll still push ≈1 trade / week. #10 ZetaMarkets - dex.zeta.markets/ ▫️ Trade Perps ▫️ Optional: Buy & Burn Zeta Pass NFT for a 7-Day Points Boost Same story as with Drift. --------------------- Honorable Mention 🏅 #11 Jupiter - jup.ag/ ▫️ Swap ▫️ Use Limit Orders & DCA ▫️ Trade Perps Remember that only 10% out of 40% allocated to 'Airdrop' has been taken out of the equation. I frequently use Jupiter organically and don't really try to farm it – it's the best Solana DEX aggregator after all. --------------------- While there are probably at least half a dozen tokenless Solana dApps I haven't mentioned, I don't want to spread myself too thin – $SOL Airdrops aren't the only ones I'm focused on. Once a bunch have airdropped, I'll reassess my list. Fin.
1/ Announcing The Massive Meteora Stimulus Package 1. DLMM - Dynamic Fees & Precise Liquidity 2. Expert DAO - The best brains of DeFi 3. 10% Stimulus - Starting 1st Jan 24 Combining product, community & incentives, we aim to massively supercharge Solana TVL growth in 2024

k its actually over They call it immutable, censorship-resistant, and PERMISSIONLESS, meaning anyone can built on it And then proceed to filter users for utilizing the #2 most-used dApp across the board, that rakes them a massive amount of $$$, with an actual good use case (Refuel) Their CEO even QT'd an 'useless nft and bridge' contract, which is essentially the same thing - you just have to interact with the smart contract directly instead of a frontend dApp nitter.app/0xCygaar/status/… (will find the exact quote tweet in a bit) LayerZero endorses @gasdotzip which uses the EXACT SAME Refuel Contracts as @merkly_com, and even hopped on spaces with them, why is GasZip not mentioned? It doesn't have 'vaporware NFT bridging', but has an equally similar vaporware tool, also known LZ Inscriptions (equally as useless): inscriptions.gas.zip/ token.gas.zip/create-token-m… - this one also looks oddly familiar @OmniX_NFT also has 'useless ONFT' bridging, BUT adds pictures on the frontend (instead of hiding them) and has both LZ founders as seed investors, so naturally they don't get excluded @holographxyz is ONFT bridging-only, but doesn't get filtered because it has a bunch of VCs behind them and adds some nice pictures on the front-end, despite their leaderboard incentivizing spamming ONT bridging Not meaning to talk down on Omni X and Holograph, as I like both teams behind the projects and have been in contact with them, just laying out my points Why add projects to your ecosystem page if you just proceed to filter them out in the end and not give a warning in advance that this will honeypot your userbase for using the second most grossing dApp? Very interesting that the latter two weren't mentioned while serving the exact same purpose Very permissionless, and not favoritism at all Good enough to milk fees and adding it to your pages, but when push comes to shove, you filter it all LMAO 'Build anything on LayerZero, but if you build something we don't like and it gets used a lot (despite us tweeting about ONFTs and endorsing certain projects), we will simply honeypot you and auto-mark you as sybil for a specific interaction' They classify sybil behavior as engaging with certain supported LZ interactions, and not by sybil attacking the project with a plethora of addresses, while also employing double standards for specific projects they invested in or have close ties to Good luck filtering 50% of your user base and your biggest supporters
Last month @LayerZero_Labs announced their integration with @zksync's new zkEVM. I deployed a set of contracts that allow you to mint, send, and receive NFTs between ETH and zksync using LayerZero. Here's how you can play around with those contracts 🧵:

Hyperlane Airdrop Speculation – One Pager Alright, here's a comprehensive guide on @Hyperlane_xyz , the modular interoperability solution that will likely have a token in the not so distant future. I've stated in great detail why I recently added Hyperlane into my farming rotation in the following tweet ↓ nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… ---------------------- How to qualify ❓ Given their bounty on Github and drawing comparison to other interoperability solutions, we can come up with potential criteria ↓ Mentioned on Github ▫️ Bridging Volume ▫️ Trading Volume [?] ▫️ $TIA LPs Criteria used by Connext and Jumper's Loyalty Pass ▫️ Source/Destination Chain Count ▫️ Transaction Count ▫️ Unique Months ▫️ Bridging Volume ▫️ Connext LPs See a pattern? It wouldn't surprise me if Hyperlane also airdrops to $TIA Stakers and MAYBE even Eigenlayer, as they recently announced their AVS integration. ---------------------- How to interact❓ The advantage we have here is how early we are. There are quite literally only 2 or 3 dApps powered by Hyperlane. Expecting many more to follow due to supreme tech. #1 Priority - usenexus.org/ The Stargate/LayerZero equivalent of Hyperlane. ▫️ Transfer $TIA between Manta <> Neutron <> Arbitrum <> Celestia This is your bread and butter to push volume. Not all routes work, and some are quite costly [0.27 $TIA]. Hyperlane stated that they'll reduce fees soonish - they set the base fees when $TIA was trading at $2. It requires you to have an EVM + Cosmos wallet, which isn't easy to automate → huge plus point. Remember that friction = edge. #2 Priority - LP traderjoexyz.com/arbitrum ▫️ LP $TIA / $ETH While unclear what LP they exactly pay attention to, it's mentioned in their Github, so almost guaranteed to be a criterion. I suspect we get more clarification once the 'leaderboard' is live. Again, still very early. While this step is skippable if you're low on funds, I expect it to act as a massive multiplier. #3 Priority - minter.merkly.com/hyperlane ▫️ Mint and bridge NFTs to different Hyperlane-powered chains. A great way to cover as many Source/Destination Chains as possible, increasing txs count, and low cost. E.g. Polygon → Celo costs $0.04. You can bridge the same NFT to every chain. Has been retweeted by Hyperlane as well, so probably won't hurt. nitter.app/merkly_com/statu… #4 Priority - nautilusbridge.com/ ▫️ Buy $ZBC on Pancakeswap ▫️ Bridge it between BNB <> Nautilus <> Solana Now this one is more speculative; Nautilus isn't powered by Hyperlane and merely BUILT with Hyperlane. I checked the explorer, and bridging doesn't trigger a Hyperlane txs, BUT → Nautilus' native token is confirmed in their docs, and you qualify by TRANSACTING on the chain. It's also very low cost, so you got nothing to lose. nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… You apparently also get an airdrop for holding $ZBC on Solana. I personally won't take part in that specific speculation and will continue bridging. nitter.app/Zebec_HQ/status/… ---------------------- That covers all the possible interactions currently with @Hyperlane_xyz As always, it's prudent to stake $TIA with @CelestiaOrg and restake $ETH with @eigencloud considering they're currently the hottest narratives of 2024, with many more eco airdrops to follow. Hyperlane even ups it a notch and also competes with LayerZero. ▫️ Modular Money ▫️ Eigenlayer AVS ▫️ Interoperability Sources to back my thesis will be linked below.

The zkSync Edge – 11 transactions for $2.30 What if I told you Arbitrum rewarded 1250 $ARB for the following criteria ⬇️ ▫️ Bridged into Arbitrum ▫️ 10+ Transactions → Reward: $1250 That's literally it. If you've done the EXACT same but spread txs out across 9 months while also bridging into Arbitrum Nova, you would've received 3750 $ARB! → Reward: $3850 ------------------------ Although zkSync will mix it up and be more strict, it doesn't hurt to hunt for low-hanging fruit criteria while also bolstering your on-chain footprint. Your only loss: ▫️ $2.30 ▫️ 5 Minutes of your time Don't believe me? Just watch. It's time to replicate Arbitrum. ------------------------ ACTIONABLE STEPS 1) bungee.exchange/refuel ▫️ Refuel from Optimism → zkSync Cost: $0.10 2) mail.dmail.ai/ ▫️ Send Email Cost: $0.14 3) syncswap.xyz/ ▫️ Approve USDC, Approve WBTC ▫️ Swap into ETH → USDC ▫️ Swap ETH → WETH Cost: $0.83 💡Tip: Every token approval costs ≈$0.18 and grants you an additional tx/contract! 4) zksync.satori.finance/ ▫️ Approve USDC ▫️ Deposit USDC Cost: $0.40 5) minter.merkly.com/deploy/emp… ▫️ Deploy lightweight contract Cost: $0.20 👨‍💻Might also positively flag you as developer 6) checker.merkly.com/zksync-re… ▫️ 'Set a referral code', Submit Cost: $0.28 7) bungee.exchange/refuel ▫️ Refuel from zkSync → Base Cost: $0.18 8) orbiter.finance/ ▫️ Bridge from zkSync → zkSync Lite Cost: $0.17 ✅Done! [Cost is calculated at 27 Gwei] ------------------------ RECAP We bridged into zkSync, pushed 11 txs, and also engaged with zkSync Lite – at the cost of $2.30 If zkSync were to replicate $ARB and txs are spread out across 9 months, this would've netted us 7 points; or in other words: 3,750 $ARB. It's likely zkSync will be more rigorous due to the sheer amount of sybiling ongoing post-Arbitrum, but those steps act as a nice baseline pillar while aiming for 'low hanging fruit' nonetheless. ------------------------ All you have to do now ▫️ Remain consistent over multiple months ▫️ Push volume ▫️ Aim for multipliers [Multisig Safe, Official Bridge] ▫️ Once zkSync launches its Omnibus farming campaign, engage with it But more on that another time.

If you study recent airdrops, you'll quickly notice that projects become increasingly creative, restrictive and unpredictable with their criteria: Starknet - Minimum Balance of 0.005 ETH. Lower than minimum balance? Had $100k tied up in LPs, but none in your wallet? Zero Tokens. Polyhedra - Galxe Participants and Pandra (Early) buyers made bank Just using their infra organically without participating in Social Tasks? Minimum Allo. Wormhole - Favoring Solana - Punished bridging wrapped tokens to non-liquid chains, despite it being an option on Portalbridge (negative multiplier) Didn't bridge to/from Solana, and only between EVM Chains? Very small airdrop, or none at all. In Wormhole's defense, 80% of their tweets are praising Solana + it was the first Solana connector, so can't blame them. Manta - Galxe Participants made bank Didn't participate in Galxe and only used the chain organically? Only participated in Manta Paradigm? Smol airdrop. Omni - Selective NFT Collections - Top 10K Eigenlayer Stakers - Galxe, but requiring a certain amount of points You don't own a Pudgy, Milady, Remilio, didn't have $10K deposited in Eigen for 6 months+ and only did 1 Galxe Quest? Zero. Saga - Airdrop to Celestia Stakers, but snapshot taken very early - Cosmos Stakers, but only for those that claimed and RESTAKED some of their $ATOM You have 10,000 $ATOM staked but always claim your rewards and use them for cash flow or to cover living expenses? Zero. Foxy - Said in advance that MM Swaps will count for the airdrop Plot twist: The AMOUNT of swaps mattered, not the amount of VOLUME you pushed. Hence, someone that swapped $10k 5x received nothing, but someone that swapped $5 x 100x qualified (while paying less overall if you factor in 0.825% MM fees) Avail - Node-runners were randomly selected? - Top 50k on 4 EVM Chains - Favoring chains nobody uses: Starknet, Poly zkEVM ------------------------ This is precisely why I always emphasize on 'covering all bases', even if some tasks might seem ridiculous at first glance (or not used at all). It holds especially true for projects that you're actively farming for MONTHS; imagine all efforts going to waste due to it. It also highlights how points programs can be a double-edged sword and not just 'all bad': With points, you're almost 100% guaranteed to get something for your efforts, but they can be very underwhelming in retrospect. Furthermore, points add a layer of transparency. Meanwhile for entirely 'points-less' projects such as Wormhole, zkSync, LayerZero, the upside is almost uncapped, but so is the downside (zero). You might be wondering why projects don't just copy the Arbitrum playbook anymore and 'keep things simple', and the answer to that is even less complicated: A shift from airdrop farming being just a niche to hitting mainstream adoption. Survival of the fittest

I ain't reading all that, but thankfully AI exists This is basically a rerun of the Blast/Manta playbook, which heavily favors whales My suggestions would be to add an absurd multiplier to users that claimed LXP up to this point - that group is your Day 1 supporters Otherwise whales can just deposit a couple mill and snag the lion's share of the $LINEA Airdrop

Alright, let's do this again, as I had to delete my previous post The no-psyops thread re: @zksync on what I'm doing while everyone claims a snapshot has already taken place (lol) ------------------------ #1 zkSyncLite Orbiter - orbiter.finance/ ▫️ Transfer $10-$20 to zkSync Lite This also qualifies you for $ORB #2 zkSync Lite Trading - trade.zigzag.exchange/bridge ▫️ Push at least 10 low value txs within the next 1-2 months #3 Lite NFT - lite.zksync.io/account/nft ▫️ Mint your own NFT via a tool like IPFs Desktop #4 Paymaster - zkswap.finance/ ▫️ Swap between tokens while using $ZF as your gas token #5 Paymaster - syncswap.xyz/ ▫️ Swap between tokens while using USDT, USDC, LIBERTAS, MEOW, etc as your gas token Make sure to have at least 10 Paymaster txs, this will put you ahead of 95% of the crowd. #6 Multisig - safe.global/ ▫️ Create your own multisig with 2 of your own wallets, send/withdraw 10x through it #7 Contract - minter.merkly.com/deploy ▫️ Deploy your own contract, and interact with it at least 3x times Glad you asked, but I don't make a single penny off it. This tool generates no revenue for @merkly_com #8 NFT - hypercomic.io/zk24/collect_h… ▫️ Mint the limited edition NFT if you qualify for it Endorsed by zkSync, might matter, might not, but it's a niche contract either way. ------------------------ That's all there is to in terms of 'niche zkSync interactions'. Don't forget to bridge at least 2-3 times via the official bridge while you're at it: bridge.zksync.io/ And pushing volume on jumper.exchange/ is always +EV considering that this specific project is tokenless too. Tip: Transact while Gwei is low, which means on the weekend. Might not matter, but nobody is doing it, so might as well be doing it. 🐦‍🔥

ZetaChain airdropped to Testnet users, but many are overlooking their current 30-Day XP Campaign → XP will likely be convertible into $ZETA Tokens Why you should consider participating ▫️ All current quests can be done with $5! ▫️ It's incredibly easy to do and takes <20 mins ▫️ KYC requirement will deter Sybils ▫️ 6% of the total supply is dedicated to 'User Growth Pool' and yet to be distributed ▫️ ZetaChain is also part of the 'Interoperability' narrative Let's get started ↓ ------------------ #1 Get $ZETA - app.eddy.finance/ ▫️ Swap 0.01 $BNB from BSC → $ZETA Wait until $ZETA arrives [takes around 15 mins] #2 Enroll - tinyurl.com/ZetaCC2 ▫️ Click on 'Confirm acceptance' You get 1000 Bonus XP for enrolling via my ref link 🫡 Note: It takes a while for the button to appear. Just wait until it changes from 'Get Zeta' to 'Confirm Acceptance' [1-2 mins] #3 Send Zeta ▫️ Copy your own wallet address and send yourself 1 $ZETA #4 Swap - izumi.finance/trade/swap ▫️ Swap a small amount of $ZETA for: BNB, ETH, BTC Make sure you're connected to Zeta Mainnet. #5 Pool - hub.zetachain.com/pools ▫️ LP a small amount of $ZETA & BNB #6 Claim XP - hub.zetachain.com/xp ▫️ Claim all your XP under 'Activities' That's it! You can also refer friends to get additional XP. More Tasks will follow, as this is a 30-Day campaign that just started yesterday. Given how easy, quick and cheap the tasks are, coupled with over 6% $ZETA left to be distributed to 'users' makes this a vastly +EV endeavor in my book.

Yep. It worked for Wormhole, it will likely also work for other interop solutions. You basically just need to make sure they have unique use cases and will still be used in the future. A non-comprehensive list of examples Hyperlane - Cheapest routes across the board for specific EVM Chains - Very fast (<30s transfers) - 'Modular' Security, allowing any dApp to customize their own security stack (basically very similar to @LayerZero_Labs's DVN, but rumor has it Hyperlane invented it first) - If Celestia and all its >100 blockchains are indeed the Future of France, then you'll need an interop solution connecting them all (Hyperlane) deBridge - Fastest bridge by far, and it's not even close - Easiest way to get to/from Solana - deBridge is akin to Hyperlane, Wormhole, LayerZero not 'just a bridge', but an entire messaging layer and infrastructure (LaaS) There's currently a shitcoin frenzy happening on Base. And deBridge is one of the go-to bridges due to its speed, simplicity, AND most importantly because you can easily bridge between Base <> Solana — both shitcoin casino hotspots. Jumper - Aggregator, so doesn't use its own infra, BUT taps into LayerZero, Wormhole, Celer etc. Why is Jumper useful? Because you can access multiple chains and DEXs from a single interface, while Jumper scouts for the best swap rates. Sometimes I get shitcoins airdropped worth $20, and guess what? They show up on Jumper's interface, so I don't even have to visit Uniswap. There are also other interop protocols like Orbiter, providing you access to fresh L2s on Day 1: Kroma, Blast, Merlin, Mode etc. Competitors are usually much slower with integration, or might simply never add them → use case --------------- Those are just a few examples of 'good interop farms', because those projects display unique use cases and solid adoption rates, with the latter being of particular interest to VCs/Institutions. They want to see outstanding metrics; generated organically through shitcoiners/yield farmers, or inorganically through farmoors. If that's the case, they'll splurge some money on it, thereby increasing the valuation of the project you're farming, which is bullish for your soon-to-be-airdropped bags. It therefore also makes sense for projects to reward farmoors handsomely and not sting out, because one way or another, that particular group contributed to their success and brought them to where they are now. One might even call them 'early adopters'. Often, you even see projects raise more $ closer to TGE, while showcasing their improved metrics. Guess who was responsible for those? Anyway, you get the point I'm trying to get across: Interoperability = Comfy farms As more and more chains get spun up (and liquidity fragmented), the demand to connect them all just exponentially increases.

Not enough α for today? Let's go for round #3 to 'show' the blocked accounts what CC2 is truly made of [Oxymoron, I know] -------------- LayerZero: Niche, low-cost, high volume bridges: Shimmer - shimmerbridge.org/bridge ▫️ Bridge in, use 'airdrop gas' function for 1 $SMR ▫️ Swap $1-$2 into more $SMR: shimmersea.finance/swap ▫️ Bridge out I recommend bridging either in or out from $BASE, for obvious reasons. Base is also the cheapest option. Fuse - console.fuse.io/bridge ▫️ Buy $2-$3 $FUSE on Polygon: jumper.exchange/ ▫️ Bridge $FUSE and some Stables/ETH into Fuse ▫️ Can wait a day or so, and bridge out to a different chain Aptos - bridge.liquidswap.com/ ▫️ Bridge Stables in, use 'Gas on Destination' function, so you have enough $APT ▫️ Swap to ETH or a different Stablecoin ▫️ Bridge out to either Avax, Polygon, Optimism , or BNB Beam - bridge.onbeam.com/bridge ▫️ Buy 40-50 $BEAM on Jumper, Avax Chain ▫️ Buy some $AVAX on Jumper ▫️ Bridge both tokens into Beam ▫️ Wait a day or so, bridge out The next two are well-known, but it's always great to have niche chains covered with volume. Angle - app.angle.money/bridges-agEU… ▫️ Buy $agEUR on Jumper. Either on BNB, Optimism, or Arbitrum ▫️ Bridge to Gnosis -> Celo -> Base Core - bridge.coredao.org/bridge ▫️ Refuel 0.25 $CORE from Poly or BNB: minter.merkly.com/zk/gas ▫️ Bridge USDT into Core ▫️ Swap a bit of USDT into more $CORE, so you can bridge out: sushi.com/swap -------------- Done. This should cover the following underused chains with volume for you: Shimmer, Base, Fuse, Aptos, Beam, Gnosis, Celo, Core

A few nuggets on how to properly run the Cosmos Airdrop Playbook #1 - Stake 'Size' Even if you're a smol fish, aim for at least $100 for each Cosmos coin. If you're short on funds and can't stake them all, I'd prioritize the following: 1) Atom 2) Celestia 3) Osmosis 4) Injective/Kujira → Celestia filtered <$75, Namada filtered <$100 rpgfdrop.namada.net/ #2 - Stake with Validators outside Top 15 Outside Top 25 is even better, as it supports effective decentralization. → Has been used as an airdrop criterion by Nomic #3 - Stake with IBC Relayers IBC Relayers fulfill an important role of the Cosmos by making it possible to bridge/transfer between chains. → Signal airdropped exclusively to users staking with IBC Relayers List with some IBC Relayers nitter.app/SignalSGNL/statu… #4 - DON'T Stake with CEXs They usually have the most voting power and have been excluded from Airdrops in the past. #5 - Vote on Proposals You don't have to vote on every single proposal, but I recommend voting at least 2-3x per month. → It allows you to get cheap, organic txs in and has also been used by Fortis, and 'soon'-to-launch Gno wallet.keplr.app/?tab=active… #6 - Conduct IBC Transfers and Swaps Example: - Claim Staking Rewards - Transfer them to Osmosis via IBC: app.osmosis.zone/assets - Trade between Coins → Celestia paid attention to your transaction history, as well as how many IBC Transfers you've done. blog.celestia.org/genesis-dr… ---------------- That sums up it in terms of importance. Following this playbook has VERY high odds of qualifying you for the absolute barrage of Cosmos Airdrops that'll happen throughout 2024. It's also low maintenance once you have everything set up. Happy Staking, Anon

People have been asking me about the next 'make it' airdrop. IMO, we won't see anything that even comes remotely close to @HyperliquidX, but that doesn't mean you can't make money on what's 'left on the field'. Few considerations 1) Hyperlane - @hyperlane More chain integrations and partnerships than LayerZero. I don't think they'll flip $ZRO in FDV, but it should be a good farm regardless given fees are reasonably cheap. I created over 10 posts on 'how to farm Hyperlane'; look them up. In short: bridge through dApps that are Powered by Hyperlane. 2) Meteora - @MeteoraAG Very bullish on this one (usually a bad sign). LPing is surprisingly novel territory for the majority of new Crypto participants, which results in some edge. Jupiter Airdrop #1 was one of the greatest airdrops across the board - this one has deep Jupiter connections and somehow isn't a Top 10 Solana protocol based on TVL. Once again: edge Jupiter Airdrop #2 soon, should be a tremendous printer too. I've also made way more money LPing Memecoins paired with SOL than I did trying to trade them (skill issue and overtrading mostly). By LPing Memes, you're effectively acting as a CEX/DEX while raking in the majority of the swap fees; that's the power of DeFi. The house always wins. Be mindful of impermanent loss, it's definitely not for everyone and requires some skill. 3) Azura - @azura I like their vision and what they're trying to accomplish: being a one-stop shop for the majority of your Crypto needs (which is mainly slinging shitcoins on various chains). They're goal is to abstract away chains, and allowing you to buy any token, on any chain, completely permissionless, unlike CEXs. Not your keys, not your Crypto. Azurite Crystals seem to be entirely volume and referral-based (somewhat similar to Hyperliquid). They will rework the fee structure soon, so there's no immediate rush on this one. Use my ref for a 10% fee reduction (soon to be 15% maybe): app.azura.xyz/ref/$CC2Ventur… All my content is free, but I like to still be somewhat paid for diluting my own share. 🫶🏻 4) PumpFun - @pumpdotfun Their founder confirmed that there will eventually be a token. It's one of the greatest money printers in Crypto right now and unironically has great PMF, making it very much +EV to farm it. How to farm it ❓ ▫️ Buy memes on pump.fun ▫️ If risk averse, sell them again I don't recommend insta buying/selling, as this might flag you as 'wash trader', so space it out a little bit. ▫️ Create a Profile on Pumpfun. Comment on tokens and don't act like a bot. Make your interactions seem genuine and real. ▫️ Launch your own shitcoin on pump.fun, get people to buy it. 5) Polymarket - @Polymarket Volume dropped 80% post-selection, but IMO this is just massive edge working in your favor and not Polymarket 'fading into irrelevancy'. Token is confirmed too, and this one will command a very high FDV once launched. How to farm it ❓ ▫️ Bet on predictions ▫️ Create Limit Orders and accumulate USDC rewards through it (this is essentially providing liquidity) ▫️ Don't wash-trade too hard by immediately buying and selling your bets; make it AT LEAST look genuine. ▫️ Comment on the prediction bets you're taking, and highlight your thesis in the comment section (bot filtering) ------------------------- The above mentioned protocols give you a solid base on the soon-to-be-hottest tokens entering the market. Maybe you would've even used them without an airdrop dangling around (=PMF). Apart from that, I recommend using as MANY DIFFERENT TOKENLESS PROTOCOLS AS YOU HUMANLY CAN while transacting on-chain. ▫️Tokenless Bridges/DEXs: Jupiter #2/#3, Jumper, Bungee, LayerZero #2, Wormhole #2, Mayan, Orbiter, Owlto, Bebop. One of them is bound to be a cooker again. ▫️ Miscellaneous: Chainbase (completely free), Sonic Labs (prev. Fantom), Fuel, Eclipse, Solayer, Phoenix, Starknet dApps for Airdrop #2 & Kakarot, Aptos dApps, Sui dApps, staking TAO on Tensorplex, Bitcoin LPs such as Solv, Lombard, Pendle, SatLayer, etc. You don't have to do everything, but if you cover most, you're bound to strike it big eventually. Most require a lot less liquidity and funds than you'd imagine. GL anon

Curious if we're approaching the final innings of airdrops being highly asymmetric and essentially 'free money' and if the script flips soon, given the latest scenarios: Tensor Stating it will be entirely linear, but once the airdrop hit, it turns out that every single wallet got a baseline allocation of 420 $TNSR. Whales, Tensorian NFT buyers, Small-time farmoors, and less sophisticated market participants got shafted for not splitting up their stack into multiple wallets, and in fact lost money on the airdrop. Omni Testnet participats got dust (cuz overfarmed) Only Top 10K Eigenlayer Stakers included. For context: I have $10K in Eigen deposited on my public address, staked since June '23; still not a Top 10,000 Staker. Probably required at least $20K in size since June, or $100K starting in the past 3 months. Pudgys, Miladys, and Remilio NFTs got an allocation (which is a good thing), but legit users without deep pockets are 100% priced out on these collections. Pudgys for example are sitting at $41,500 / per For Jumper, Lvl 13 is required for the $OMNI Eco airdrop. For context: I'm Lvl 11 and have been regularly interacting with Jumper since early/mid 2023. Foxy Only Top 100,000 MM 🦊Users included in the airdrop. No, not volume based, but TRANSACTION-based. So someone that swapped 100x $5 got included, but someone that swapped 5x $10,000 (while paying much more to MM cuz of 0.825% base fees) didn't make the cut. If $FOXY hits $500M FDV, the airdrop will be worth $250. ---------------- Those are just a few recent examples. It seems as if criteria becomes increasingly obfuscated, and starts to make 'less sense'. Not to mention, even small Testnets or medium-sized tokenless projects have >1M users nowadays, leading to massive dilution the longer the campaigns go on. Polyhedra had >1M users, and they included as many users as possible, so naturally, most participants got 10 $ZK / per. Stuff like Eigenlayer, Kamino, MarginFi, Parcl, Elixir, Ambient etc. are just disguised liquidity farms, and if they go for a tiered approach, forcing you to split up your stack across a bunch of wallets. Liquidity-based airdrops will always be profitable (Defi Summer 2021 rerun), but not everyone has ample liquidity to provide. Linea and deBridge are just disguised ICO's, where your airdrop is proportional to the fees you pay in their respective campaigns, with an even less certain outcome cuz you get zero info on tokenomics in advance (I still participate). I've also made this post not too long ago, and blew my goal out of the water by quite a bit: nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… Leading me to ask myself: → What if the 'diluted beyond belief' scenario is currently playing out, slightly ahead of schedule? You also can't deny that airdrops hit mainstream, considering that I ran this acc from 2k → 137k in less than a year by doing nothing but provide airdrop-related guides and showcasing my proceeds. Mainstream is definitely here, and everyone loves 'free' money. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, so let's see how zkSync and LayerZero will turn out first before making a verdict BUT... If they're successful in their airdrop distribution process, then this will only add fuel to the fire and people (and bots/tools) will TURBO-farm projects within the same sector, E.g. Scroll, Base for zkSync Hyperlane for LayerZero I don't want you to get discouraged and stop airdrop farming btw, because this space is highly forgiving and you only have to strike gold once in order to make it. So keep clicking buttons And there's also the possibility that the recent airdrop - dare I say it - flops were just coincidence, and it's 'up only' from here. Just some thoughts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Prediction for 2024 CC2 will make $400K off airdrops alone [without factoring in price appreciation of coins] All heavy hitters will have airdropped the majority of their supply: LayerZero, zkSync, Linea, Starknet, Scroll, Wormhole, Eigenlayer, Aztec, Monad, Tensor, Cosmos eco, Manta & co. It will mark the local top and conclude the golden era in terms of airdrops. Afterwards [late 2024], it will be diluted beyond belief due to bots, QoL tools, information flow and main stream adoption. Institutions will join the airdrop trenches too. Only niche protocols and/or insiders will manage to strike +5 figures per onwards. 'Secure your freedom if you've won it'

What I'm mostly looking forward to once the HyperEVM goes live: Hyperliquid replicating the Solana Airdrop Liquidity Injection within its own native ecosystem. ▫️ The Jito/Sanctum of Hyperliquid - LST ▫️ The Kamino of Hyperliquid - Lending ▫️ The Tensor of Hyperliquid - NFT ▫️ The Parcl of Hyperliquid - Some form of RWA ▫️ The Drift/Zeta/Meteora/Solayer etc. of Hyperliquid The big differentiator: instead of 'just' getting ecosystem airdrops as it was the case with Solana, you'll likely also receive $HYPE for exploring the ecosystem. Why? Because over >38% of the entire supply is earmarked for future incentives. This is MASSIVE firepower at current 22B FDV, giving the HL team a lot of flexibility to distribute incentives in the most beneficial way for its ecosystem. They will really let us rerun the Airdrop Playbook on the hottest chain since Ethereum has been deployed.

On the topic, if I had to narrow it down to 10 protocols ONLY to airdrop farm: LayerZero Wormhole Polyhedra Jumper Hyperlane Parcl Tensor Pontem [on Aptos] $TIA Staking Eigenlayer Restaking Yes, very hard to narrow it down considering there's still Linea, Ambient, Scroll, Ekubo, Mode, and so on left, but that's what I'd roll with 5 Interoperability solutions, not bad

Every time I think I'm done adding new passive airdrop farms, a new promising one pops up, seemingly out of nowhere This one is especially juicy for several reasons Superform ▫️ Utilizes Hyperlane, LayerZero, and Jumper while depositing into Vaults ▫️ Raised $6.5M, backed by LayerZero's founder ▫️ You need to be whitelisted in order to deposit -> soft sybil filter: guild.xyz/superform ▫️ Customizable Deposits: For example, you can pick if it should route through Hyperlane, LayerZero, Wormhole, Jumper, or all four I didn't even 'optimize' my route, so I missed out on the Jumper tx, but it indeed uses both LZ and Hyperlane Once deposited, you farm ▫️ Superfarm's potential token ▫️ Aloe ▫️ While getting some Yield + ETH exposure Not planning to go super deep into it, but deposited $1K from my public wallet to have a little bit of exposure Not sponsored btw; just baffled of what's possible nowadays More info in the QT by @WagameEth
So I just tried this new app and deposited ETH into one of their vaults. It triggered 18 EVM contracts, including Hyperlane, LayerZero and others 👀 And it’s still relatively unknown, even though they raised over $6.5m 🤯 Quick thread 👇

Just as it was obvious 2 months ago that Solana szn was approaching, I'm now telling you that interoperability szn is close. In terms of priority, here's your list: #1 - @LayerZero_Labs #2 - @wormholecrypto #3 - @deBridgeFinance #4 - @jumperapp #5 - @BungeeExchange Bonus - @Orbiter_Finance They will all tokenize in close proximity to each other deBridge is allegedly having a +$10M raise soon at very high valuation, meaning VCs have high conviction in it.

Burning Fees for Airdrops suddenly doesn't seem that bad of a deal anymore. I'm looking at: deBridge Airdrop is fee-based; the more you burn, the higher your allocation (essentially an ICO). Orderly Volume-based. The more volume you generate, the higher your 'merits'. I'm using @LogX_trade for a 2-in-1 airdrop deal. To me it feels like the LogX Airdrop will reimburse most/all the fees spent, and most of the airdrop upside will occur via $ORDER. Scroll No Blobs integration yet, so fees are quite high for an L2. I'd use the official bridge at least 2-3 times over the period of a couple months. Scroll probably tweeted about it for a reason, and hints more often than not should be taken seriously. What you can do for example: ▫️ Bridge from Base → Ethereum via deBridge You can even space it out into 2-3 txs ▫️ Bridge from Ethereum → Scroll (Wait first for Gas to come down to 20-30 Gwei) This burns fees for deBridge, gives you a couple Base interactions, AND is still the cheapest option to get to Mainnet. On Scroll itself, I mostly use Syncswap, Ambient and Rango - all tokenless. Once I'm done, I bridge out through Orbiter, Jumper, Bungee, or Hyperlane. Solid Guide on Scroll I've crafted not too long ago: nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… ----------------- Keep in mind that all of those mentioned projects are highly sought after among farmoors, and therefore very competitive. Nowadays it's hard to find airdrop opportunities that are flying under the radar and are 'underfarmed'. This can be attributed to the market becoming more efficient in that particular niche. Given how Arbitrum, Wormhole, Jito, Dymension, Manta etc. turned out, it was bound to happen. Those airdrops were a complete joke (in a good way) and a literal free money glitch in the matrix.
Due to popular demand, here's my updated, comprehensive Airdrop Guide on the zk-Rollup Vitalik himself strongly supports: @Scroll_ZKP 📜 Introducing: 'The Road to Decentralization' 🧵⬇️

Long time no see. The reason for my absence can be summed up by the fact that there hasn't really been anything exciting to farm since Wormhole, LayerZero, zkSync, Starknet, Jito, Tensor, and all other high-profile projects airdropped. By now you should know that I only shill what I farm. It's without a doubt that the dubbed 'Golden Year of Airdrops' is behind us. It became glaringly obvious after the most diligent farmoors walked away with literal high 6 / low 7 figs by manually pressing buttons for months on end since April 2023. A literal free money glitch that was obvious to act upon the second Arbitrum airdropped a ridiculous amount of governance power. As predicted, it is now fully institutionalized and has reached critical mass as most participants are now fully aware of how the playbook works —— not to mention the proliferation of sophisticated bots entering the arena. To add fuel to the fire, market participants smartened up. Coupled with financial nihilism, this makes them less likely to buy VC bags anymore. They would rather gamble their money on pristine, top-of-the-creme memetic derivatives. You essentially got a deadly mix of: - Valuation compression - Hundreds of Memecoins and VC coins entering the market → altcoin dilution (look at BTC dominance) - Not enough participants to bid them all (unlike 2021) The result of it is that while Wormhole initially launched at $17B FDV, the more pristine interoperability solution - LayerZero - launched at $4B FDV. → Less immediate money into the pockets of VCs and day-1 unlock Airdrop farmoors. --------------- The last few promising projects that can reach a multibillion valuation after the conclusion of the golden airdrop era now gatekeep you one way or another: Monad Social activity. Berachain NFT pristine. Both have a MUCH higher barrier to entry than LayerZero & zkSync - by a wide margin. The last remaining bastion of hope is Hyperliquid, but there you're gatekept by being late (and not taking action when I initially shilled it in August 2023). To maximize point extraction for Hyperliquid now, you'll have to buy spot tokens which generally trend downwards, so you'll have to run the numbers if the points they generate outweigh the negative PnL. Almost every other promising tokenless project has a points campaign running, and more often than not, LIQUIDITY is the name of the game (with a linear skew). --------------- That being said Not all hope is lost. Niche, obscure, under-the-radar projects will continue printing... forever Case in point I didn't claim the UWU / Unicorn🦄 airdrop out of complacency and because the latest Cosmos Memecoin airdrops were worth literal dust. It turns out, the UWU Memecoin migrated to Solana and ran to a +50M valuation. Given that I'm Sybilio and own A TON of Cosmos wallets (one of the main qualifying criterion), I literally missed out on a low 6 figures airdrop at the very least. The fallacy of getting conditioned by numerous low-value airdrops, which made me fade the subsequent claiming process until it was too late. It's like being conditioned by the bear, so you keep shorting BTC despite an obvious vibe/narrative shift and Blackrock bidding it to infinity. Lesson In Airdrop Land, you can't afford to fade ANYTHING; even if 95% of the projects you farm are very likely turds. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. --------------- This is why I'll continue claiming those Scroll badges like a military general. There's always the off-chance that they'll get factored into the airdrop allocation of $SCRL. Especially considering that a lot of those badges have literally less than 2k users. Apart from that, I'm providing liquidity for a plethora of Bitcoin Restaking Ponzis, even though a lot of them will likely result in 20-30% APR tops. There's always the possibility that one of them will be an outlier and replicate Eigen or EtherFi (or zkSync). The secret ingredient has always been to COVER ALL BASES and then make people believe you're an insider because you've literally done EVERYTHING humanly possible. This inevitability makes you qualify for airdrop [X], as there is frankly no other criterion the project in question can use. You've literally done it all. It's really that simple.

I'm not really adding new projects into my airdrop farming rotation, otherwise it would never end as there are always new projects popping up with massive raises. Important to identify your strengths, build on them, and have conviction in your crops. E.g. my strengths are: Interoperability ▫️ Wormhole - despite bad PA, this is still my biggest cook BY FAR, and it's not even remotely close. Literally crowned from a single high conviction bet; and I've done it all LIVE, leaking my entire playbook publicly. ▫️ Polyhedra - alright allo all things considered, even if they didn't really care about zkBridge. ▫️ Garden - some niche BTC interop. Cooked on Szn 1, not so much on Szn 2. Overall still good profit. The real interop gorilla in the arena is still standing, and it's also the one I put in the most legwork by FAR - it goes by the name of @LayerZero_Labs. This will determine if I really know what I'm talking about, or if I'm just yappin' Apart from that, I'm also looking forward to Hyperlane, Jumper, Bungee, deBridge, Orbiter, Mayan, and a bunch more interoperability solutions. Let's see if it was really as easy just rerunning the 'just bridge' playbook. L2s ▫️ Manta - My largest L2 airdrop, and it was mainly from Galxe Quests. It's almost criminal how underfarmed it was (and I even called it slept-on, same with Wormhole). ▫️ Starknet - Somehow got away with a very decent airdrop - in fact - it was so decent, people accused me of being part of the Starknet team and helped in the filtering process LMAO. ▫️ Optimism #4 - Very unexpected, but the biggest allocation on a per-wallet basis for an L2. Qualified from being an early Zora enjoyooor (and maybe Univ3 Pools as they count as NFTs and generate fees). ▫️ Arbitrum - This is where my journey started. Back then I believed projects would extraordinarily reward single-wallet users and that airdrops would be entirely linear. How wrong I was. Safe to say, I was hooked ever since. In that particular bracket, I'm highly anticipating zkSync, Scroll, Linea, Mode, Base, Zora - in that order. Put a lot of work into zkSync in particular, DECENTRALIZE ME Solana ▫️ Jito - still speechless how unfathomably hard this one hit. Only used 1 wallet and got away with mid-5 figs. Literally NOBODY farmed it. The start of Solana szn. ▫️ Pyth - Didn't expect this one at all, it just randomly happened by having an extensive on-chain footprint. The best kind of bestowed governance responsibility. Wormhole also belongs in the Solana bracket btw. That being said, my kingmaker plays on Solana will likely be Tensor and Parcl. By now, I've built up decent a foundation from previous airdrops to go really HAM on liquidity-based airdrops. This also counts for Meteora, MarginFi, Kamino, and some trading-based projects such as Drift, ZetaMarkets, and Phoenix. Eigenlayer and 'Stakedrops' ▫️ Celestia - got this one by staking Atom and Osmo, and by then I realized how lucrative Cosmos Airdrops are. ▫️ Dymension - Gave the call to stake $TIA back in early December; just in time to qualify for the biggest Cosmos airdrop EVER. Got my entire initial out from this one while still staking the other half of my $DYM bag. This is also why I'm unfazed by TIA's price action. It could go to zero, and it still wouldn't matter. Being early and taking immediate action = worth gold. More Cosmos airdrops will follow, but big fishes in that bracket usually take +6 months to marinade, so you just have to remain patient. Maybe it's $NIM? ▫️ Altlayer & EtherFi - Let's put them into one sentence for space reasons. Both with great returns for Stakedrops. Even hardcore gambled on YT-EETH Pendle, and it paid off tremendously. The former even rewarded Celestia Stakers, resulting in a double-dip. The crazy part about LP/Stakedrops is that the behemoth, known as Eigenlayer, has yet to launch its token. No matter the market conditions, this thing will immediately launch at +20B FDV. Been staking since June. $EIGEN will single-handedly uplift the ETH/BTC ratio from its grave. There are also Renzo, Kelp, Zircuit (L2) and other LP-based airdrops left, such as Elixir, Ekubo, and Ambient. ----------------- To put it briefly 1) Identify early on what you're good at (you'll notice once you consistently make money off it) and then go ALL-IN In the context of airdrop farming, for me, that's: - Interoperability (just bridge lol) - L2s - LP/Stakedrops (once you hit a few homeruns, the liquidity will flow) - Solana You'll have to find your own niche. 2) Don't chase after every shiny thing out of FOMO, rather, go DEEPER into your conviction bets. I'm also not adding new projects to my farming list for the sole reason of that shit being extraordinarily exhausting, and I don't plan to do it to the same extent as I'm currently doing it (+12 hours a day spent clicking buttons). There's also the threat that easy money in airdrop terms won't last forever; dilution and it hitting mainstream is a real thing (the institutions are coming). Talked about it ad nauseum; the real ones know. So it's important to secure your freedom and give it your all during non-dilutive easy money days, afterwards you can just chill in Majors/LPs et al. But tbh, the best time to start was 9 months ago, not now lol. I can already smell the DILUTION and MANIA in the air (for button pressing based airdrops) Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk. 🐦‍🔥

For Wormhole, it certainly feels like they're outlining all possible airdrop criteria for $WORM [or $HOLE] directly on their website: wormhole.com/ They even mention dApps in each category and the specific interaction powered by Wormhole Easy to put 1 + 1 together
Absolutely shocking how I just mentioned the Y00ts affiliation yesterday and now Wormhole tweets about it LMAO Doesn't take a genius either; literally mentioned on Wormhole's website if you scroll a bit down And now I can't even buy more as degens pile in with their entire NW You guys could've waited a bit longer with the tweet @wormholecrypto

Watch the max @layerzero_labs criteria with the largest token allocation be something that's ridiculously easy to hit, as long as you have a lot of funds, e.g.: - Bridged over $1.5M - Cumulatively Bridged over $2M on 3 dApps (Stargate, Woo, Aptos) - Amount of $STG used for voting on 1 proposal (can just use massive size and lock it for 2 weeks) - Owns a Pudgy Penguin ($35,300 floor) - Provided a ton of liq pre-snapshot, but not time-weighted (so it's easy to game) Why? VCs and Insiders have a lot of $$$, but not a lot of time to diligently use all features of a project. So they would rather max qualify by letting their money do all the work, hence the criteria will be tailored towards them so they can double dip. Last cycle (2021), VCs and projects would dump on users through low float / high FDV scams (Serum, Metaverse coins etc) This cycle, VCs and projects dump on users by: 1) Create initial raise to get eyes on your project. 2) Hint at a token by mentioning it in docs. 3) Farmers come in, boost your metrics. 4) You now publicly boast about metrics, specifically about your TOTAL MESSAGE COUNT (so every tx counts). 5) You now present sky-high metrics to VCs, raise another massive around ($120M+). 6) Continue tweeting about raise, tx milestones, and new chain integrations frequently, instill FOMO 7) Fatigue kicks in, Metrics take a dip, time for the next trick up your sleeve: Publicly CONFIRM a token will happen by end of H1, and that a snapshot will be communicated in advance. 8) Metrics go ballistic again, as it confirms there are still 4-5 months to 'farm'. Bonus: Call your project permissionless, immutable, censor-ship resistant 9) TGE dawns near. Make farmers self-report and give them a bonus for every farmer they can find. Have double standards on the dApps that will be filtered, specifically call it a 'Sybil-dApp' now, but don't call it a Sybil-dApp pre-snapshot, because it rakes in an absurd amount of txs, and therefore rev + metrics for you. Reclassify the meaning of sybil (1 wallet = sybil) so it fits your agenda 10) TGE is here. You filtered 70% of your userbase and airdrop 5% of your supply, with the majority of it going to VCs/Insiders as the criteria will be tailored towards them. 11) VCs and Insiders now get to dump on Day-1, as well as upon unlock dates. 12) Maybe introduce a second season, so metrics improve again and gullible investors buy into your token based on inflated numbers/rev (your exit liquidity). The whole operation has been sponsored by farmers, but they'll end up getting disqualified and experience 'death by a thousand cuts' through fees they paid for nothing in return → new way of dumping on them. Farmers = Users. Nobody voluntarily uses Stargate if there are equivalent solutions that are also cheaper (Across, Hyperlane). 'Users first', but you allocate 5% of the supply to Airdrop Thanks for playing

Last time I've done a post in similar fashion, Polyhedra announced their TGE & Airdrop within the same week Let's do it again - this time for zkSync Jumper x zkSync x Syncswap x LayerZero --------------------- #1 Jumper - jumper.exchange/ ▫️ Swap between Tokens ▫️ Bridge into zkSync #2 Syncswap ▫️ Swap between Stables and ETH Make sure to to use the 'Paymaster' feature (upper right corner) and pay for gas fees in non-ETH Tokens. Very high likelihood that this will be an airdrop criteria for $ZKS. Bonus Interactions While on zkSync, consider the following interactions ↓ Swaps mute.io/ (Can also use Paymaster here) odos.xyz/ - Tokenless app.rango.exchange/ - Tokenless izumi.finance/ velocore.xyz/ app.overnight.fi/market Miscellaneous owlto.finance/ - Check-in + Inscription element.market/zksync - Buy/Sell cheap NFTs zksync.satori.finance/ - Deposit, Trade, Withdraw (Tokenless) 📝Note You don't have to do everything in a single day. In fact, I recommend spreading txs out across a few days. #3 LayerZero - app.interport.fi/ ▫️ Bridge out from zkSync to Chain of your choice Not the cheapest bridge, as Interport will charge you $3-$4. BUT it's a somewhat rare volume interaction between zkSync <> LayerZero, given Stargate doesn't have Stable/ETH support for zkSync. --------------------- The last 10 airdrops or so have also proven that burning a bit of money ends up working heavily in your favor: Manta pre-Celestia integration, Wormhole (Mayan wasn't cheap), Shuffle, Starknet, Seed (very niche), to name a few. 🐦‍🔥

Remember that the elephant in the room @LayerZero_Labs confirmed to tokenize by June 30 latest Which means, there are about 88 days left at the absolute MAXIMUM If we consider Arbitrum, Starknet, Wormhole, Polyhedra, and co it, it means you likely still qualify if you start today Now, how would you go about it? First, study the vid below Going by that, it becomes abundantly clear that what they care about most: 'real value transfers', 'fees spent', and 'total tx count' (it's what they always boast about on their official account) So just focus on the following bridges to catch low-hanging fruit: Flagship of LZ stargate.finance/ 2 in 1 Airdrop Lego (make sure it routes through LZ) jumper.exchange/ bungee.exchange/ beta.magpiefi.xyz/ Aptos x LayerZero, akin to Solana x Wormhole theaptosbridge.com/bridge Cheap volume transfers (but maybe LZ won't care about them cuz too cheap) bridge.coredao.org/bridge shimmerbridge.org/bridge layerzero.bridge.harmony.one… console.fuse.io/bridge app.angle.money/bridges-agEU… Apart from that, there's honestly a lot you can do regarding LayerZero, e.g.: ▫️ Owning a Cluster Name: @clustersxyz ▫️ Owning a Pudgy Penguin ▫️ Refueling to 50+ Chains @merkly_com ▫️ Cross-chain Voting @pendle_fi ▫️ Bridging ONFTs through @OmniX_NFT Interface ▫️ Providing Liquidity on Stargate and Voting on Proposals But the general rule of thumb is to not overcomplicate it and to <just bridge> Also remember to not frontload all your txs and to spread them out across days, or the anti-airdrop reaper will get you ☠⛏ Can also check out my posts under 'Highlights'; +15 LayerZero Guides or so
Study @PrimordialAA soft-leaking the @LayerZero_Labs airdrop criteria ▫️ Dollar Value Transferred → Volume ▫️ Fees spent ▫️ Overall LZ messages count If a Contract has been used frequently, it will likely play bigger role too → LZ Developers will eat Lesson in there. $ZRO

I have this wild theory that the reason behind $TIA's perpetual pump can be attributed to insidoors circling the supply for short/mid-term airdrop farming reasons There are a truckload of high-profile projects building atop Celestia – a good portion of them will likely airdrop to $TIA stakers for mindshare & marketing purposes ▫️ Berachain ▫️ Manta Network ▫️ Hyperlane ▫️ Eclipse ▫️ Squid Router '[Manta] raised at $500M valuation. And I've heard that it was confirmed that they're giving away some of the tokens to $TIA stakers' - @TaikiMaeda2 Projects like Osmo, Juno, Crescent, Stargaze, Evmos, Namada, Celestia & co were airdropped to $ATOM stakers and worth up to $50K. Now imagine completing the flywheel with projects airdropping to the prime modular data availability network. This recent revelation reinforced my thesis and led me to rebuy my entire airdropped stack that I dumped at $2.50 for a 4x mark-up. [I qualified for 2,592 $TIA, mainly by staking $ATOM & $OSMO, which is now worth $28,952, but that's besides the point] celestia.org/ecosystem/
While Celestia has likely a promising future with its modular approach, I'll lock in those gains. I believe those funds can be put to better use interim to keep the airdrop snowball effect rolling. Might revisit $TIA in the future. And congrats to everyone that qualified.

Remember when CC2 briefly ratio'd @LayerZero_Labs? It's now of UTMOST IMPORTANCE to ratio @LineaBuild and make sure that the voice of the community has been heard. We've been interacting with Linea since INCEPTION - they now want to rerun the Manta and Blast playbook where whales get the lion's share by lazily depositing a couple mill and sitting on their hands, this close to decentralization. The trade offer is rather simple: → Add a multiplier to early Linea adopters that interacted: - With your Testnet - Participated in ALL Voyages up to this point DON'T HARD-DILUTE the supply by allowing late liquidity providers to get more tokens within a few weeks than what your Day-1 community worked so hard for, all the way back to June 2023. nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat…
Replying to @LineaBuild
I ain't reading all that, but thankfully AI exists This is basically a rerun of the Blast/Manta playbook, which heavily favors whales My suggestions would be to add an absurd multiplier to users that claimed LXP up to this point - that group is your Day 1 supporters Otherwise whales can just deposit a couple mill and snag the lion's share of the $LINEA Airdrop

It's not retroactive, so you could boost your footprint, and then try again in 24 hours. zkPass is simple as well, if you have a Coinbase or OKX CEX account. Group 2: TrustaLabs, OpenID3, Nomis, and 0xScore are all quite easy to pass.

Scroll Marks You've probably already seen that @Scroll_ZKP is following the footsteps of Blast, Linea, and Manta Paradigm with their 'Marks' Campaign. First, hear me out: this one might still work out in favor of non-whales. 🔍 Reading the fine print → Scroll mentioned that more actions than just bridging in and keeping your assets idle in your wallet will be eligible for Marks. Not only that, but Marks are already accruing RETROACTIVELY since October 10th (when Mainnet went live). Why is this a big deal? Well, it basically means Marks are already accruing, but we don't know the exact playbook HOW they're accruing, just that 'DeFi activities' matter. This entails that users that interacted with Scroll early on already have Marks in their backpack, and users that wait until Scroll gives them exact instructions HOW to get them will get a smaller share of the pie. Why is that the case? Because the majority of the flock will join AFTER Scroll tells them precisely HOW to get the Marks of Session 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Case in point Study Ambient, Parcl, Kamino etc. TVL going ballistic AFTER points have been confirmed. Study LayerZero txs spiking up again AFTER confirming ZRO will launch within H1 2024. 🤔Okay I get your point, so what should I do? → Keep transacting on the chain organically, and partake in activities a normal user would: ▫️ Swapping between tokens ▫️ Trying out different dApps ▫️ LPing a small amount of your PF ▫️ Minting and Trading NFTs ▫️ Getting your TX count up and so on Use this guide or check out others of mine under 'Highlights': nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… 📜Should I fade Session Zero? No! I personally will still participate by bridging in some STONE into Scroll and keeping it idle in my wallet. Why STONE? This particular bridge is Powered by LayerZero AND routes through Mainnet, meaning you improve your wallets footprint + get a LZ Mainnet tx in. Scroll 𝕩 LayerZero 𝕩 ETH Mainnet, essentially Click on 'ETH' and bridge ETH from Mainnet to Stone: app.stakestone.io/u/bridge -------------------------------------- This is how I'm perceiving it and how I'll play it. If it doesn't work that way, it was over before it even began either way. If it works that way or in some abbreviation of it while still massively honoring retro-users who interacted with Scroll all the way back in Oct (and continue to) through DeFi activities, then we might have something of great potential right at our fingertips 🫡
Due to popular demand, here's my updated, comprehensive Airdrop Guide on the zk-Rollup Vitalik himself strongly supports: @Scroll_ZKP 📜 Introducing: 'The Road to Decentralization' 🧵⬇️

A couple farming steps I have taken today, with the latter two flying under the radar ------------------------ #1 Polyhedra - zkbridge.com/token ▫️ Bridging $BNB between BNB <> opBNB <> Combo ▫️ Bridging my Dragon NFT to Mantle, Combo, Nova zkbridge.com/gallery/polyhed… ▫️ Sending zkMessages from BNB, Polygon, Core, Celo to Core, Celo, Fantom, Moonbeam: zkbridge.com/zkmessenger You can also bridge between Base, Scroll, Linea etc, but zkBridge is very expensive. I've done it either way a few weeks ago. While it's undeniable that $ZKB is very close, this way you still maintain a cheap on-chain history until 🪂 #2 MM - portfolio.metamask.io/swap ▫️ In-wallet volume swap on Polygon, BNB, or Linea ▫️ Generating my own Fox NFT and minting it: beta.clutchplay.ai/ Just doing 1-2 swaps per month pretty much. Nobody is using MM's swap feature, and for good reason; they charge a 0.875% service fee! Still, a great way to further differentiate your wallet from others, while potentially adding a few bonus points for $LINEA and $MASK There's also this Fox Memecoin that has given around 1000 hints about an upcoming airdrop. Putting 1 + 1 together, it's apparent whom they airdrop to. Linea QT them as well. Could be too late, yet I'm taking my chances here. nitter.app/FoxyLinea/status… #3 Hyperlane - usenexus.org ▫️ Transferring $INJ between Injective and inEVM Here's a loop you could consider: 1) Buy TIA on TraderJoe [Arbitrum] 2) Bridge TIA to Neutron 3) IBC Transfer TIA to Celestia 4) Deposit TIA into Osmosis: app.osmosis.zone/assets 5) Swap TIA for INJ on Osmosis 6) Withdraw INJ to Injective: hub.injective.network/bridge… 7) Bridge INJ from Injective to inEVM and back 8) Send INJ to a CEX, OR ↓ 9) Swap INJ for TIA on Osmosis 10) Withdraw to Celestia 11) Bridge TIA from Celestia → Manta via Hyperlane: usenexus.org Above mentioned steps + my two guides below are all currently available Hyperlane interactions nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… ------------------------ I might eventually create a more spoon-fed and easier-to-follow thread on Hyperlane, but for now, this has to suffice 🫡
Every time I think I'm done adding new passive airdrop farms, a new promising one pops up, seemingly out of nowhere This one is especially juicy for several reasons Superform ▫️ Utilizes Hyperlane, LayerZero, and Jumper while depositing into Vaults ▫️ Raised $6.5M, backed by LayerZero's founder ▫️ You need to be whitelisted in order to deposit -> soft sybil filter: guild.xyz/superform ▫️ Customizable Deposits: For example, you can pick if it should route through Hyperlane, LayerZero, Wormhole, Jumper, or all four I didn't even 'optimize' my route, so I missed out on the Jumper tx, but it indeed uses both LZ and Hyperlane Once deposited, you farm ▫️ Superfarm's potential token ▫️ Aloe ▫️ While getting some Yield + ETH exposure Not planning to go super deep into it, but deposited $1K from my public wallet to have a little bit of exposure Not sponsored btw; just baffled of what's possible nowadays More info in the QT by @WagameEth

The most slept-on Solana Airdrop is unironically Wormhole ▫️ Raised $225M at $2.5B Val, which is on close footing with LayerZero [$293M/$3B Val] ▫️ 30K Daily Messages vs 152K for LayerZero ▫️ Token has been confirmed by various news outlets and docs ▫️ Strong ties to the Solana Ecosystem, with all the Sol-native VCs in multiple rounds Case in point: their recent MadLads endorsement nitter.app/wormholecrypto/s… That being said, Wormhole is likely underfarmed due to friction/not being as user-friendly → Which indirectly results in edge for the dirt-diggers and Soylana Manlets

An Airdrop Opportunity I've only seen mentioned by small accounts: @ChainbaseHQ ▫️ Raised $16.5M ▫️ AI angle (first AI project I'm farming?) ▫️ Entirely free to do - you pay with your time How does it work ❓ 1) Connect your wallet via a ref for +100 Zircons: genesis.chainbase.com/referr… (thanks for using it 🫡) 2) Let Chainbase scan through your on-chain footprint 3) Do One-Time Tasks: Verify via TrustaLabs (anti-sybil), Connect Twitter & Discord, etc. 4) Do Daily Tasks, namely training their AI - Theia - by chatting with it (doesn't work right now) Repeat Step 4 until tokenization. --------------------- What I've noticed is that Chainbase is NOT handing out Zircons like candy: ▫️ My highest-ranking wallet with a deep on-chain footprint dating all the way back to 2021 and qualifying for every single airdrop in the book maxed out on 5,200 Zircons. ▫️ Other high quality wallets ranged between 500 - 1200 Zircons, despite having more assets on them. ▫️ Training the AI will only give you max. 40 Zircons per day. For context, to reach my high-end footprint wallet's score, you'd have to train the AI for 130 consecutive (!) days. You essentially can't game your initial score because it's entirely retroactive, which adds some form of barrier to entry DESPITE being entirely free to do. The last time a global on-chain footprint truly mattered was Celestia, which would've been worth > $50,000 at the top: nitter.app/CC2Ventures/status/171… Celestia has a one-of-a-kind use case and is trading in the billions, so don't expect @ChainbaseHQ to be worth anything close to that. But it's entirely free of charge, so you might as well take those odds. --------------------- Remember that 'Genesis' implies the very first block of a blockchain, laying its foundation, and token launch. Zircons = Tokens
Replying to @CC2Ventures
Well, that happened faster than initially anticipated

E.g. what I'm lately doing across my wallets is minting @Orbiter_Finance inscriptions. You basically mint them on zkSync, Base, Scroll and bridge them to another chain – all within a single tx → Great way to increase your on-chain footprint on tokenless chains [Base, Scroll, zkSync, Linea] at the cost of $0.30-$0.80, while potentially qualifying for $ORB and all aforementioned L2 solutions. → A marketplace will be launched soon, meaning you'll be able to sell your inscriptions. $ZKF farmoors made a 40x on fees spent. Can history repeat? Drawback @Orbiter_Finance is absolutely making bank on those inscriptions. We rely on them providing sufficient $ORB liquidity once they launch this year to give back a high percentile of the fees they made via an airdrop. I DON'T recommend spamming and betting the house on it. Just add it to your routine on a couple wallets to indirectly farm and improve your on-chain footprint on zkSync, Linea, Base, and Scroll. All in all, not the worst endeavor. Especially considering I've long predicted 'Interoperability' to become a hot narrative in 2024. layer220.io/

I @PythNetwork into my @monad_xyz , while having @LayerZero_Labs conviction in making it. Might as well crawl under a @wormholecrypto and @jumperapp out of it via a @BungeeExchange sail once conditions are more more favorable. The @gravitaprotocol of this planet is incredible, feels like I'm touching @ourZORA clouds while becoming increasingly more shizo and showing multiple @PolyhedraZK faces. The sun almost looks like a @redstone_defi and is indescribable, similarly to a @tensor_hq The @kroma_network colors when looking up the @CelestiaOrg are too bright; it's @TimeswapLabs to get some @OrderlyNetwork in place and get back in @zksync. Can't deny that I certainly enjoy the @ambient_finance, despite me being curious of what's on the other side of this @deBridgeFinance All things considered, it's important to establish a solid @base and keep on reading in your @Scroll_ZKP's to get back in @LineaBuild - and avoid hitting the @Orbiter_Finance And remember: the true @Optimism always ends up winning.

Now that we got that out of the way For Hyperlane, I believe what matters: #1 ▫️ Volume ▫️ Tx Count ▫️ Bridging between Celestia/Neutron <> EVM ▫️ Monthly usage They always 'one up' it to what happened so far, so if you want to cover all bases, also do: #2 ▫️ Forma Chain NFT Mints (I like this one a lot) ▫️ LPing TIA/ETH on TraderJoe or PancakeSwap (they tweeted about it) - I personally think this is a big one, because TIA liquidity is crucial to facilitate bridging ▫️ Superform deposits trigger a Hyperlane message, maybe deposit a little bit in there as well ▫️ Merkly ETH bridging ▫️ Mix it up with a little bit of NFT bridging / Refuel too, because it's overall +EV in terms of fees paid to the Interchain Cartel ▫️ Celestia Staking (the airdrops will come back) ▫️ Whenever Hyperlane tweets about a new integration, experiment with it. It might not be live immediately, but will take place within 2-3 weeks post-tweet Source/Destination Chain count has only been used by Connext so far — it's overall a low signal / high grinder effort, but they could always spice it up and suddenly use it if the wallet count is low enough to warrant it If you do the first bracket, and mix in some of the second bracket, and then keep on repeating it tirelessly 2-3 per month, very high odds you'll qualify for the next upcoming, LayerZero-mirroring Interop solution I can't name specific numbers on volume, because then everyone bridges a similar amount, but I believe mid 3 figs and everything above is very good. Even high 2 fig volume bridging can be sufficient, because projects are aware that low NW =/= Sybilio necessarily The bear and bull-case for Hyperlane equally is that it's dependent on Celestia price performance. Imo, modular expansion is a real thing, and not just a fad I won't delete this tweet, because I was opaque enough to not create any 'accidental patterns' so, we won't end up in the same cluster Might do a more actionable post re: Hyperlane in the future, but this is a very comprehensive overview on the currently existing ecosystem 🫡

Has fatigue kicked in yet anon, or are you still pushing txs as we're approaching endgame? For me personally, each consecutive airdrop that I'm hitting just fuels my thirst and anticipation for the next one - especially now that we're THIS close to zkSync and LayerZero. That being said, here's a neat route that interacts with... ------------------- Jumper 𝕩 zkSync 𝕩 LayerZero 𝕩 Base 𝕩 Llama 𝕩 Odos 𝕩 Socket We start on zkSync. If you're not on zkSync yet, I recommend bridging in via @orbiter_finance or @RangoExchange for some additional variety. Step 1 - jumper.exchange/ ▫️ Swap $70-$600 into $CAKE Step 2 - bridge.pancakeswap.finance/ ▫️ Bridge from zkSync → Base While on Base, consider minting an NFT on Zora. This way you get an additional organic tx in. Example: nitter.app/jessepollak/stat… If it moons after this post, just filter on Zora by Base and mint any NFT: zora.co/ Step 3 - swap.defillama.com/ ▫️ Swap 10-20% of your $CAKE for ETH/any other coin The reason why we're only swapping a small amount: - CAKE doesn't have deep liquidity on Base - You don't want to bridge the exact same amount in quick succession; this ain't organic Alternatively, you can simply wait a day (and be exposed to $CAKE PA) and then continue bridging. Step 4 - bridge.pancakeswap.finance/ ▫️ Bridge CAKE from Base → BNB Chain I would've used Stargate, but it doesn't support Cake Base for some reason. Step 5 - bungee.exchange/ ▫️ Swap CAKE for BNB/ETH/Stables ✅Done ------------------- 💭Thought process behind this particular route - It interacts with a plethora of tokenless protocols and dApps, including zkSync and LayerZero simultaneously - It burns through quite a bit of fees and uses Stargate on the backend, meaning it's a legit value transfer - Utilizes an underused OFT, known as CAKE, adding some diversity to the most common bridged LZ tokens: ETH and STABLES - The most organic and biggest use case of Crypto is token speculation/trading, and we've done our fair share of it So far, in 95% of the cases I interacted with pre-token projects hasn't been: 'Damn, I wish I wouldn't have pushed that much. I should've burned through less $! But rather: 'Can't believe it was really that easy. I should've done more!' 🐦‍🔥

I'm the Airdrop Oracle. Sei Q3 - Turns out I called it accurately. Airdrop soon. Hope you followed my guide. Zetachain Q3 - Turbo-ready. $5M grant indicating their funding is at least 4x of that. Can still swap weekly and qualify. LayerZero Q4 '23 / Q1 '24 - Everyone too scared to bet against me. They're all LARPS, I have the intel. I'm the source. But you won't believe it until after-the-fact. zkSync Q1 '24 earliest / Q2 '24 latest - Sequencer testnet takes longer than you'd expect. There's nothing happening on the chain. Everything is a scam and get's hacked. You think they're ready? Think again. Eigenlayer Q2 '24 - Probably the most slept on airdrop there is. They actively put a lid on the amount that can be deposited; main reason is cuz they calculated in advance how much they'll airdrop to selected users. Will be one of the most insane airdrops in history. 4Chan confluence. Linea Q2 24 - Once everyone truly believes this is a scam and that Consensys/Metamask just exists to milk users in perpetuity, they'll drop a bombshell and use their +$700M of funding to airdrop to true believers. If you didn't retire already via LayerZero, $LINEA will fully seal the deal if you interacted every second week. There's plenty more lucrative airdrops; exact launch date is more uncertain. I can't press the buttons for you anon – all I can do is tweet about it and hope you take action.

Linea XP Would do the following two quests because they're rather cheap (they use Across, the cheapest L2 bridge), and grant you 100 LXP. #1 intract.io/quest/664c9ea1628… ▫️ Bridge > $50 USDT and > $50 ETH from Arbitrum or Optimism into Linea #2 intract.io/quest/664cd743628… ▫️ Buy weETH on Jumper, then deposit $30 of it and $30 of USDT into Mendi I'm skipping the third quest, feel free to do it: intract.io/quest/664cc4f8628… Tip You don't have to do the social tasks; just do the on-chain tasks and verify them. IMO the $2 in fees you spend will be lower than the amount of tokens you get through 100 LXP.

RedStone - The tokenless Modular Oracle Some of you already guessed it correctly; it is indeed RedStone. As is tradition, we'll do it in a long-form post. RedStone essentially combines the current two airdrop narratives: ▫️ Celestia = Modular Data Availability ▫️ Pyth = Oracle 💰Raised $7M from various high-profile founders: zkSync, Avalanche, Aave, Polygon & co. ------------------------ ❓How to qualify for an airdrop? Most campaigns ended, but there are still two easy ones to participate in: 1) Galxe Quest galxe.com/RedStone/campaign/… 2) Galxe Quest galxe.com/RedStone/campaign/… What I REALLY like about it: ▫️ Campaign #1 triggers a Starknet Transaction ▫️ Gitcoin Score +15 [soft-filtering sybils] ------------------------ What else can you do? 3) Participate in Zealy Quest: zealy.io/c/redstoneoracles/q… I'm personally fading Zealy, as previous airdrops have proven that simplicity will still qualify you [Arbitrum, Aptos, Celestia, Pyth]. 4) Use dApps powered by RedStone. This was the #1 criterion for Pyth. defillama.com/oracles/RedSto… ------------------------ Here are a few dApps I'm personally using: 5) app.gravitaprotocol.com/vess… ▫️ Deposit WETH on Arbitrum ▫️ Borrow GRAI against it ▫️ Pool 50% of your GRAI ▫️ Bridge 50% to other chains & back ⚡Gravita only has a stablecoin, and will likely tokenize. GRAI bridging triggers a LayerZero message 6) app.angle.money/buy ▫️ Swap Tokens ▫️ Bridge agEUR ⚡Bridging agEUR triggers a LayerZero message 7) app.abracadabra.money/#/ ▫️ Use Cauldron by borrowing MIM against collateral ▫️ Bridge MIM ⚡Bridging MIM triggers a LayerZero message 8) yieldyak.com/swap ▫️ Swap Tokens ▫️ Provide Liquidity ------------------------ The big plus with RedStone is that a plethora of dApps fit into my 'Airdrop Lego' thesis - one single transaction interacts with multiple tokenless projects. In the above-mentioned cases, it's mostly RedStone, LayerZero and Gravitas. You also increase your on-chain footprint by interacting with various underused dApps, which makes it a massive +EV endeavor. Nothing to lose [besides some gas], everything to gain.

In short: If you only qualified for 10 $EIGEN, your new allocation will now be 110 (!) $EIGEN Meaning, at current pre-market prices, your airdrop increased from $100 -> $1100! For 10 $EIGEN, approx. 400 points were required Balance will reflect properly after May 10 THE SHRIMPS ARE SO BACK (Hope you deposited a little bit into Eigen and generated 400 pts)

We've done it again Officially ratio'd a prestige L2 ETH solution, backed by $727M worth of VC funds, backed by @Consensys and @MetaMask I unironically love y'all LMAO But the job's not finished - now we actually need @LineaBuild to heed the call and listen to their COMMUNITY, the day-one supporters when #BTC was sitting at $27K and when the future of Crypto was all but certain. HEAVILY REWARD EARLY ADOPTERS, INCLUDING ▫️ Testnet Participants ▫️ On-Chainers that pushed txs and provided liquidity pre-EIP 4844, back when it was costing an arm and a leg to transact on @LineaBuild ▫️ Linea Voyage Participants and LXP holders - take a snapshot today - add an ABSURD multiplier I'm all for whales that provide liquidity and contribute to a massive amount of TVL, boosting metrics that are appreciated by VCs and institutions, BUT → Make sure to extraordinarily honor the OGs: those who stuck with you through thick and thin during the bootstrapping process, stress-testing your pre-launch chain. The ones who liked, retweeted, and engaged with all your content, and got you to 1.2M followers to begin with; pre-whale gamification In short: Honor early adopters.
Remember when CC2 briefly ratio'd @LayerZero_Labs? It's now of UTMOST IMPORTANCE to ratio @LineaBuild and make sure that the voice of the community has been heard. We've been interacting with Linea since INCEPTION - they now want to rerun the Manta and Blast playbook where whales get the lion's share by lazily depositing a couple mill and sitting on their hands, this close to decentralization. The trade offer is rather simple: → Add a multiplier to early Linea adopters that interacted: - With your Testnet - Participated in ALL Voyages up to this point DON'T HARD-DILUTE the supply by allowing late liquidity providers to get more tokens within a few weeks than what your Day-1 community worked so hard for, all the way back to June 2023. nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat…

Mode just went live - this is literally Day 1 They had some Galxe quests that I missed, so their tweet either hints at an airdrop to past Testnet participants, or maybe just celebrating Mainnet launch Either way, doesn't hurt to set your initial footprint ↓ → Bridge from Op/Arb: pheasant.network/ → Swap between ETH <> WETH: dyorswap.finance/ That's literally all there is to do right now, that's how early we are. Airdrop Rumors I just came up with ▫️ Galxe Participants [very obvious] ▫️ Mode is built on the OP stack; they'll share their sequencer revenue with @Optimism – Airdrop to $OP delegates? ▫️ Far-fetched: @PythNetwork is mentioned in their ecosystem – what if? ▫️ Maybe: Rerunning the usual L2 playbook of Arb & OP, and no airdrop upon Mainnet launch – airdrop will occur in 6-12 months from now 🐦‍🔥

.@_kaitoai —— The Next Arkham-Sized Airdrop Arkham airdropped in July 2023 when BTC was just shy of $30K, rewarding everyone who used the platform and its features with at least ≈$235 (worth 3.17x more if you held until now). The biggest farmers received > 100K $ARKM. The most interesting part: It was entirely free to farm; all you had to do was sign up. Kaito is very likely the next Arkham due to undeniable similarities: ▫️ Mindshare: I've seen Kaito mindshare graphs referenced numerous times by high-profile CT accounts (long before the Yap program was introduced) and used by investors to identify what AI agent has the most potential. This is because Crypto prices are often times driven by mindshare/sentiment. ▫️ PMF: Kaito charges $833/month for access to advanced mindshare & sentiment analytics, narrative tracking, smart following, etc. The fact that they price it that high means there's demand for it. Companies that want access to Kaito's API access pay even more (undisclosed number). ▫️ AI Angle: Kaito leverages AI to optimize their search engine, algorithms, natural language processing, data aggregation & summarization. It's somewhat comparable to Arkham or even AIXBT as Kaito gives you tailored access to crypto/blockchain data & social media insights through AI. ▫️ Mutuals: I have 181 Mutuals with Arkham and 177 Mutuals with Kaito; people obviously like the platform. ▫️ Free: Arkham was free to farm, and so is Kaito. Arkham currently commands a 2B FDV. Kaito should be able to launch at a similar FDV as we're moving towards an increasingly AI-centered future. Kaito integrated AI on Day-1. --------------------- How to 'farm' Kaito: 1) Sign Up: yaps.kaito.ai/referral/14346… 2) And here's the fascinating part: just go about your daily CT business and keep shipping good content/valuable info. Your rewards are based on: ▫️ Relevance of your posts ▫️ Engagement from smart & verified accounts/followers ▫️ Insightfulness and originality 3) Shill your ref in my comment section or all across X. 4) There will probably be more ways for small accounts to farm more 'Yap Points', would recommend following @_kaitoai to stay updated. --------------------- The fact that it's free and you're getting paid to yap means you've got nothing to lose. AI Airdrop Coins = Good.

Aptos - TVL going ballistic - Blackrock/RWA Involvement - AI development with Microsoft - 2x'd in price (it was in the charts) - Final Galxe Quest ending soon: galxe.com/aptos/campaign/GCm… - 49% of the 'community' supply still left to be distributed Where have we seen that scenario play out before? Oh right: Solana Airdrop craze (that's still ongoing) Wouldn't surprise me if we see native, tokenless dApps residing on Aptos tokenize sooner rather than later - in conjunction with Airdrop #2. The following three ALL added a points tab, you already know what that means: @PontemNetwork @AriesMarkets @AmnisFinance (only 1% Airdrop, but still) @merkletrade is confirmed for Q2, but I personally haven't farmed that one much yet Tip: When you provide liquidity on Liquidswap, use the APT/stAPT Pool, so you qualify for Pontem and Amnis simultaneously. Aptos even has it's very own Orderly, known as @EconiaLabs dApps powered by Econia app.ariesmarkets.xyz/trading gator.trade/trade/APT-USDC app.swapgpt.ai/trade Two Aptos Guides: nitter.app/ZeMirch/status/1… nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… I said it would be too late when it's obvious, but I don't think it's 'that' obvious just yet
I'm an Aptos bulla because their warchest is bigger than the cumulative sum of all the tokenless projects you're farming while I'm the only one pushing transactions on the Rust-based chain Once it's obvious, it'll be too late Solana 2.0

Going out on a limb here and claim that LayerZero's 2nd Airdrop is currently flying under the radar: ▫️ Daily TXs are down 90% from peak froth & pre-Airdrop #1 ▫️ Daily TX count now consolidating between 30-70K ▫️ Airdrop #1 (+ the recycled part) was decent given over 1M 'users' were eligible, sharing 8.5% of the total supply. Low 6 figs for me @ $4.11 / ZRO ▫️ 15.3% of the supply is reserved for future incentives What's more: ▫️ LayerZero is often times the most cost-efficient bridging solution ▫️ Token is holding up nicely, currently at $5.45 ($5.45B FDV) If you apply simple math and if LayerZero were to apply a similar criterion (fees sacrificed to the LZ overlords) + % allocation to Airdrop #2, the subsequent airdrop would be a LOT larger. It's like all the Sybilio farms collectively decided to shut down, not being aware or fading future incentives *cough Sei #2 & Optimism #2, #3, #4* ---------------------------- What's my strategy for LZ #2 ❓ I'm in a different position now and will only use it in the most organic way because I'm not reliant on hitting a home run here, which means: ▫️ Whenever I have to bridge, I simply use the Stargate option on @jumperapp for a 2-in-1 deal ▫️ Sometimes, I have to refuel Gas onto obscure chains. In that case, I use LZ-powered options on @gasdotzip or @merkly_com E.g. yesterday I had to bridge to Mainnet to prepare for the @_kaitoai NFT Mint (floor at $8K), so I picked Stargate and burned $25 to LZ —— should be well worth it in the long-run. Both of the above mentioned choices (cheap, reliant bridge & refuel) are the real LayerZero PMF in my opinion. Stuff I'm using for their usefulness, and would be using anyway even if there was no airdrop angle. Similar to how I'm using Hyperliquid to trade Perps or when I feel like taking profits into Stables while playing the house on 30% APR (HLP Vault). What would I be doing if my aim was to max qualify and cover all bases ❓ ▫️ Hold $ZRO on-chain, vote on the fee switch referendum. Too late now, but maybe more on-chain gov proposals pop up. Maybe LZ will also use a TWAB approach similar to zkSync & Optimism (holding delegated OP on-chain made you eligible for future OP rewards) ▫️ Go through the 'LZ Protocol' list and use all the projects on the first two pages (or further down) at least 3-4 times over the course of months: layerzeroscan.com/protocol This part made you eligible for the RFP portion (3.5%) of Airdrop #1, and some LZ-powered projects are still tokenless. ▫️ Create educational content regarding LayerZero similar to how @ChainLinkGod has been bullposting and educating the masses on the unique value propositions $LINK offers. There's a decent portion reserved for 'Yappers', but it requires a lot more dedication than the on-chain footprint portion. Also, yapping in the LZ Discord. ---------------------------- That's about it. It honestly isn't complicated: just use LayerZero messaging tech when bridging once in a while. Don't have to always use it and can alternate with Hyperlane & Wormhole. If your wallet was eligible for Airdrop #1, very high odds you'll also hit Airdrop #2. In summary Highly asymmetric opportunity in my book, given: ▫️ Daily Message Count is down 90% (bots shut down the Sybilio farms) ▫️ ZRO token is holding up nicely ▫️ 15.3% future incentives ▫️ LZ is often the most reliable and cheapest messaging standard

Looks like Wormhole is working on closing that gap to LayerZero. The new native ETH bridge is quite juicy as: ▫️ It requires no token wrapping anymore ▫️ No 'Redeem' function needed ▫️ Dirt cheap: ≈$0.94 for 0.5 ETH The only drawback is that transfers take around 20 min For context: A LayerZero-based transfer from Polygon → Avalanche would cost $2.23 [and also take 20 min] Verdict Definitely a great way to push volume for $WORM [or $HOLE, whatever the ticker will be] Disclaimer: Not a sponsored ad, just an interoperability enjoyooor

• Mint an NFT on zkSync • Bridge NFT to Polygon via LayerZero > Increase your unique smart contract counter on zkSync WHILE utilizing LayerZero Total Cost: $1.06 Time: 2 min Exceptional guide @0xCygaar
Last month @LayerZero_Labs announced their integration with @zksync's new zkEVM. I deployed a set of contracts that allow you to mint, send, and receive NFTs between ETH and zksync using LayerZero. Here's how you can play around with those contracts 🧵:

LayerZero at $30B means the airdrop will be at least twice as big as Arbitrum was, while only having 26% more wallets Don't mid-curve this one anon Keep pushing txs for a 100x ROI on fees spent And thank me later

Seems people have missed this fresh podcast regarding @zksync Snippet 'The network must be decentralized; it must belong to its community. Now is the time to actually do it.' It also clears up a very important question: #1 FIRST, Governance will be decentralized (Airdrop) #2 Afterward, the Sequencer will be decentralized Safe to say $ZKS is very close now

I'm sacrificing most waking hours for airdrop farming. Risk-Reward ratio with +$200M funded behemoths yet to airdrop is too massive to ignore. It's not risky to burn a few hundred $ in txs It's risky to NOT engage at all and potentially fumble generational wealth.

Projects had close to 4 months of prime market conditions to launch their token, but rather wait until Bitcoin is sub 60k and alts are in full-blown goblin town mode

While it's increasingly -EV to keep airdrop farming in these market conditions coupled w/ constantly high gwei, there are still a few things you can do to maintain activity and consistency until it's harvest szn Some examples Hyperlane - nautilusbridge.com ▫️ Buy a small amount of $ZBC on BNB, bridge it to Nautilus ▫️ Buy as much $ETH as you want for volume, bridge it to Nautilus & back Both txs trigger a Hyperlane tx, verifiable on: explorer-v2.hyperlane.xyz/ Gas Cost: $0.17 LayerZero - stargate.finance/transfer ▫️ Bridge Stables between Fantom, BNB, Polygon Gas Cost: $0.65 + $1.12 Stargate Fee zkSync - owlto.finance/inscribe ▫️ Inscribe ▫️ Use 'Check-in' function Gas Cost: $0.16 - $0.32 You can also do the same for Scroll, but it'll cost you 7x as much. The above strategy can also be replicated on other projects, such as Aptos, Solana, Polyhedra, Jumper, Magpie, Bungee etc. The key lies in avoiding Chains that use $ETH as gas token [except zkSync, Linea] and stick to BNB, Polygon, Fantom, Gnosis, Celo etc. ---------------------------- It's safe to say that I also drastically slowed down my airdrop farming endeavors and am now focused on my 'big long' on memecoins nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… nitter.app/CC2Ventures/stat… I won't name any tickers because this is not what this account is about, but some share confluence with proven traders such as Hsaka, Lawliette, AndrewKang, Ansem & co In summary 95% of our airdrop farming efforts should be covered by now as we took advantage of low gwei for the past 12 months. So all we have to do now is maintain a lower level of activity to capture unique months until 🪂
Replying to @CC2Ventures
Keep in mind that this happened all the way back in May Currently, I'm airdrop farming like a maniac to prepare for the BIG LONG Once the time is ripe, I'll LONG HARD Then ride into the sunset
