ARBITRUM AIRDROP IS LIVE 🔵 🪂 Finally, ARB claim site started to work a few minutes ago. Thread: how to claim and delegate right now! 🧙‍♂️ 🏛️ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ 100% To claim: 1. Go to Arbitrum's website: 🔗 http://arbitrum.foundation 2. Click on "Claim" and follow the steps 3. Delegate to olimpio.eth 🏛️ 4. ✅ If you believe I am the right fit. My principles are decentralization, self-custody, privacy For months, I recommended everyone to delegate their $OP tokens. Then, Optimism did their Airdrop #2, and one eligibility criteria was to be active in governance (a.k.a. delegating) Do with this as you may 👀 💡 ICYMI: delegating is enabling your voting power to a delegate Here is my delegate application and some thoughts of DeFi, blockchain, and governance: 🏛️ https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/delegate-application-template/31/230?u=olimpio Where to trade ARB? • Use DexScreener/GeckoTerminal to monitor blockchains for pools. 1. Take $ARB's token contract: 0x912ce59144191c1204e64559fe8253a0e49e6548 2. Paste in on http://dexscreener.com / http://geckoterminal.com 3. You will see a pool list where ARB is trading! Also, centralized exchanges CEXs are listing $ARB. Almost all of them confirmed listing. • Binance: today 17:00 (UTC) • OKX: today (UTC) - 20 mins after claim opens • Kucoin: today (UTC) - immediately on claim open • Coinbase: "if and when liquidity conditions are met" 🤡 Transactions not going through? • If you are having problems with your transactions going through, Arbitrum RPC nodes could be having server load issues. Here is a thread I made to create your custom RPC endpoint for free and in 5 minutes: https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1638665520940560384 ARB had a rocky launch, with their main website failing for more than 1 hour, and Arbiscan also going down. The team denies it's from a DDoS or similar attack, they say it's just server load. If you are still experiencing issues, retry, it works intermittently. ⚡️
Tips of keeping your Lens feed clean 🧼 Hit that report button if the content feels violating Burn a follow NFT of a user that doesn’t reflect your taste or what you want to see frequently, there is no upside for following users whose content doesn’t bring you joy Spring cleaning makes a decentralized social graph thrive 🧹

I’m super excited to be collaborating with @lenstaxyz.lens for this drop 💛 Sunset has been one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Sometimes, the beams are blinding, filled with passion and intense like flames. Sometimes, it shines gently and gracefully, covering the city with an orange veil. It’s the last moment of warmth that made the imminent darkness less dreadful. And it will always return, just when you need it the most. 50 wmatic | 20% referral | 5 editions | 24 hrs only #photography #colorgrading #LMCC #lens @photographers.lens @creators.lens

**"EXHIBITION"** begins today a @lenster.lens based role-playing gallery simulator >comment yes to enter
**$SWELL token will eventually launch** Swell Network is a liquid ETH staking solution, competing with Lido and Rocketpool. It has investors like Mark Cuban. Airdrop strategy: how to potentially get a $SWELL airdrop 🪂 1/8 What is Swell Network? • Swell Network is a permissionless, non-custodial Ethereum liquid staking protocol. Could be considered a competitor to Lido and Rocketpool • Some VCs and Angel Investors (i.e. @RyanSAdams, @TrustlessState from Bankless) are in 2/8 How does it work? • Swell supports atomic deposits, allowing users to deposit ETH to the validator of choice • To "liquify" non-fungible stakes, they mint & return an NFT, (swNFT) • swNFT contains swETH + information about the stake • swNFT is exchanged 1:1 to swETH 3/8 Roles on Swell: • Node Operator: min. 16 ETH required • Staker: min. 1 staked ETH (the minimum staked amount might change) 4/8 What's the current stage of the project? • The staking paused since October • The team will launch it again in early 2023 • There was an issue with 2 validators on September. As they are fixing the issue (no loss of funds) the roadmap has been pushed a few months. 5/8 What do we know about the $SWELL token? • $SWELL was confirmed on Discord • Their website says "Community-driven protocol", indicating a DAO structure 6/8 How to potentially qualify for an airdrop? 🪂 • As always: it's about using the protocol (contributing to its development) • The staking is now paused, but after the re-launch, we will be able to use it 7/8 Benchmark: let's check how $LDO airdrop has gone They allocated 4,000,000 to early adopters (holders & stakers of stETH). This was 0.4% of the total supply, on the lower end. 💡 Eligible users were holders of stETH and LPs on the curve pool 8/8 Swell has not been widely shared yet here in CT. Usually, less participation = more % to users who interact with the protocol. We cannot do anything rn, but this might be a good thing. Save this thread and website, monitor their discord 👀 You know where the alpha is ⚡️ ⚠️ BE CAREFUL OF SCAMS ⚠️ Scammers are getting more sophisticated with time. My real Twitter account is verified ✅, and my username is @ olimpiocrypto The screenshot below is from a FAKE olimpio account and a FAKE zksync airdrop. Please be mindful, don't lose your assets ⚡️
Today, MetaMask launched MM Bridge 🦊 Also, a Google Form to be a testnet validator in the zk-EVM solution from ConsenSys just opened 4hs ago. Fill it now! A reminder that this year Lubin already confirmed a MM token. Here is what you can do to try and get all airdrops: 🧵🪂 1/6 This is the WhiteFoxMask airdrop thread I made in April. I covered using the MetaMask swap feature. If you haven't already, give it a try. It's a good way to interact with MM at a blockchain level These smart contracts could be used for a snapshot: https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1514432535685578754 2/6 Today MetaMask launched a new feature: Bridges. It's a bridge aggregator integrated with Hop, Connext, Celer, cBridge and Polygon Bridge. Another good way to interact with MetaMask's smart contracts, this could serve for a snapshot. Try it now: http://portfolio.metamask.io/bridge 3/6 ConsenSys is planning to launch a rollup zk-EVM: http://consensys.net/blog/research-development/consensys-rd-launches-an-updated-and-expanded-zk-evm-version ⚡️ They have just opened applications to participate on their testnet. Be quick, they might be open for just a few hours: 🔗 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc0mXdLiI7MjLNG4BfqzK4TAS7oCUnoQM5gqqI8GutKoJjQcA/viewform Team member says there could be rewards 4/6 Infura is a infrastructure service from ConsenSys, powering web3 services and allowing developers to connect to the Ethereum network. There is a rumour that $INFURA might be on its way. Covered it here: https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1570863149741666304 5/6 There was a (month old) early access program application to join the new "decentralized" infrastructure service that infura wants to build. Here is the form, still works: 🔗 http://infura.io/resources/network/decentralized-infrastructure-network-early-access-program Anyways, go to their discord to check how to get involved. 6/6 Summary: ConsenSys owns MM & Infura, and is planning to launch its own zk-EVM rollup • $MASK → bridge and swap using MetaMask • zk-EVM → Fill Google Form and participate in ConsenSys testnet • $INFURA → Fill form and get involved in their decentralized future vision Sorry if anyone is stuck with liquidity at FTX. Let's hope it gets resolved, these have been bad days for the industry We need to keep moving forward, that's why I am posting these news. My advice would be to withdraw all crypto from all CEXes until there's more visibility ⚡️
I saw this post below on the blue app, and wanted to share some thoughts on it. The collapse of FTX & Alameda is a black eye for crypto and is going to cause a lot of pain for a lot of people. The continued domino fall of these centralized platforms shows the deep need for strong decentralized systems. As Cobie and Ledger live streamed the demise of the latest hero of crypto, I watched as in the next room over, 3 of the greatest contract devs I know furiously debated, as part of an audit of [redacted]. Behind me the @lensapi.lens backend & infra teams were attacking every whiteboard and glass window with expo markers detailing a new architecture that will help scale Lens several orders of magnitude. On Github, @lenster.lens one of the leading Lens applications that came out of our hackathon with @ethglobal.lens was trending. In Telegram, the Polygon Team along with devs across the Lensverse were analyzing the latest block data and working together to optimizing code to keep all apps and experiences running despite a chaotic gas environment. There is going to be a lot of hurt over the next few weeks and months. Many people will lose funds, regulators will use this incident to enact stricter regulation. Yet, even still: @aaveaave.lens, Maker, Compound + DeFi were paid back first and continue to dutifully follow their smart contract code to provide open financial access to all. Uniswap & Seaport are still functioning, swapping tokens and NFTs without fail. ETH, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism and more are producing new blocks, filled with unstoppable decentralized computing for devs to utilize. We are not done. Numbers may keep going down, mistakes will happen, more idols will fall. But the movement will continue, the devs will keep building. The decentralized future is coming, anon, like it or not.
