gm Haven't posted on here in a while. New Free Mint on Holograph is up. Make sure to mint and bridge it between cheap networks [e.g.AVAX <->Optimism]. Grow that $ZRO Bag! Link: https://app.holograph.xyz/
gm (actually gn soon) Will prob do a thread on Twitter soon involving Linea x LayerZero. Pretty sure $LINEA will happen, but it might take up to a year; similar to Arb/Optimism launch-to-airdrop time window. Good to get a few initial txs in.
If you need some motivation to get started with LayerZero: **2.5M LayerZero Wallets** BUT Over 1M (!) wallets have: • Less than 2 transactions • Less than $10 average bridging volume • Only have 2 separate LayerZero interactions! It's not nearly as crowded as it appears at first glance. Sauce: https://dune.com/pereshkowsky/layerzero-sybils-2
Time to repost some of my Twitter content as I gotta get me some of that $LENS bread: What do Hooked Protocol , SpaceID Protocol and Polyhedra all have in common? **Binance Labs** led ALL seed rounds. What else? $HOOK and $ID both **airdropped**. **Polyhedra's Airdrop** is not a matter of if, but when. $25M-heavy time bomb, ready to go off.
18/06/2023 Polygon zkEVM • Bridged some ETH via Orbiter Finance • Swapped ETH to USDT on Quickswap • Deposited USDT into Satori Finance • Longed MATIC on Satori • Closed after 15 mins at break-even https://zk.satori.finance/Satori Satori raised $10M and has been endorsed by the Polygon Co-founder Sandeep [who also hinted at a token]. I set my initial 'digital footprint' on Poly zkEVM w/ above steps. Still just a side thing for now while being hyperfocused on LayerZero and zkSync.
Start engaging with $ZKS if you haven't yet, anon. #1 "If used correctly, tokens are a great tool, they enable effective DECENTRALIZATION" [Code word for airdropping] #2 "66% of the tokens will be distributed – the Era network will be mainly owned by the community"
ZRO didn't announce an airdrop on 26 May! Rumors of ZRO announcing their airdrop details on 26 May were (surprisingly) WRONG! Where is my token?
Current CC2 arc goals: Layer Zero Maxi for a lifetime if airdrop is in Q3/Q4 and allocation is juicy [main wallet is top 50]. Indebted for life scenario. If not, will slowly but surely transition into 'zkSync Maxi' - Engagement on $ZKS posts is insane - Funding is 56% higher
@anotherblock.lens_io BOM DIA @ethglobal.lens 🇵🇹
When two projects of my "best VC funded, high probability of airdrop" sheet are tweeting at each other. 🥰
Welcome to Week 2 of the Linea Voyage! We are excited to announce the second portion of the Linea Voyage: the Social Campaign. The Social Campaign will run from 5/9 at 9 am EST to 5/14 at 11:59 pm EST. You will have an additional 24 hours to claim points on the completed activity as long as it is performed by the 5/15 deadline. All eligible addresses will be updated daily, every 24 hours. If you’re seeing “You are NOT eligible” be sure to check back after addresses have been updated. Have fun! https://galxe.com/Linea/campaign/GCPRsUEZhR
Completely forgot that Zerion also has received over $30M of funding. Latest round was led by Wintermute in Oct 2022. Project also exists since +3 years. Probably prudent to do a few swaps and bridge via their dApp.

If you plan to only engage in 1 testnet to airdrop farm, make sure its Linea. Their funding [$727m] blows even the most bluechip L2s out of the water. You still got a few days to complete their Galxe quest. Fade at your own peril. https://galxe.com/Linea/campaign/GCd1YUZyrN Quest is straight forward – below all links to the faucets: https://testnet.bnbchain.org/faucet-smart https://faucet.polygon.technology http://goerli-faucet.pk910.de/ https://goerli.hop.exchange/#/faucet?token=ETH http://faucet.goerli.linea.build/
If you’re airdrop hunting but time-constrained, focus on: zkSync Layer Zero StarkNet In that order. [Maybe Scroll too] Best bang/buck ratio due to: • MASSIVE funding • High probability of 🪂 I personally have my own biweekly routine solely dedicated to the big 3.
Was too busy to keep up; the TWAP is still ongoing in furious fashion. R. L. is now in with actual size: - Bought almost every single day since 03/27 - Up 111% / $170,000 in 20 days! Cats out of the bag, here some hints to get the wallet: NGC + Token Ticker Few things I failed at: - Not tracking the wallet rigorously - Wrong priorities: Airdrop farming a 1M funding protocol can prob wait while market conditions = ez mode - Preaching how +EV on-chain aping in sync w/ smart $ is and not following through - Mid-curving dogcoins
Did a Twitter thread on Sybil Samurai, an upcoming NFT project that'll automate and democratize airdrop farming. I also like to call it "Airdrop Farming as a Service" (AFAAS). Mint is still a few weeks out; the team has granted me a few NFTs to give away. 👀 Check out the post on my Twitter if you feel inclined.
Might be time to get a Thailand citizenship merely to farm this airdrop. Leave no stone unturned.
rogerlim.eth front-ran the entire 'dog' narrative and nobody paid attention [me included]: 1) Bought 10K worth of $SOV on May 29 2) Up 5x in 5 days! 0x allegedly belongs to a founding partner of an early-stage VC fund. They're also up over 2x on $SGT in a 1 month timespan. Front-running all the narratives in the book due to sheer skill or maybe having access to information others don't? Either way; an exceptional wallet to track.
Airdrop Alert: If you provided liquidity on Tensor, you should be eligible for: - Bonk NFT - 40M Bonk Tokens Value: $75 Note: This is just a small gesture from @tensor_hq – their own token will be much juicier. My personal goal is to defend my Top 25 spot until token launch.
Might be worth it to spend $7 on ETH gas to mint this NFT of Polygon Labs What I like: - Forces you to connect your Twitter, making it harder to sybil [Aptos ran a similar playbook w/ email] Concern: - What would Polygon even airdrop on zkEVM? I minted one regardless. (Here's the link: https://fair.xyz/collection/polygonzkevm)

Perfect addition for all the airdrop farmers out there. You can now trade on zkSync Mainnet and get those transactions going. => https://leverage.unidex.exchange/#/trade I'll deposit some into their USDC pool + hedge my ARB LP via perps.
Arbitrum airdrop will be worth $10,000+ and many of you missed it The next $30,000 airdrop will be ZkSync, and you don't have much time left to farm 👀 🧵 Here is how you can position yourself for $ZKS airdrop 👇 ZkSync raised a total of $458 Million To compare, Arbitrum raised $120 Million Arbitrum will be huge, but ZkSync will be insanely huge And ZkSync token is CONFIRMED 🪂 This is an update of a thread I posted months ago 1/ Bridge to ZkSync Era Curently, the best way to bridge to ZkSync is to use Orbiter 🔗 https://www.orbiter.finance/ ZkSync Era Mainnet is live, you will be able to bridge from the official ZkSync bridge to maximize your chances 2/ Use ZkSync 1.0 Mainnet Mainnet 2.0 will be live very soon so it might be a good idea to use the actual mainnet before it happens Here is a list of tasks you can do 👇 (a) 🔗 https://www.zigzag.exchange/ Swap your tokens (b) Send funds to another ZkSync wallet 3/ Use ZkSync Era Testnet If you ever used the testnet before (and also if you never), I would recommend using it again because all transactions have been erased after testnet regenesis Here is a list of protocols you can use on testnet 👇 @onchaintrade @syncswap @spacefi_io @MintSquareNFT @mute_io If you search on my profile, I created a strategy for each project If you need test tokens, you can claim some usef the faucet 🔗 https://goerli.portal.zksync.io/ 4/ Donate to Gitcoin using ZkSync wallet No need to give a big amount, you can give less than null 5/ Join the Crew3 and complete quests https://crew3.xyz/c/zksync/invite/f19iq6om8v-fuCdOPaAwd 6/ Stay active over time For you, I have analyzed Arbitrum and Optimism airdrop criteria Both selected activity over time as a criteria Knowing that, I advise you to perform 1 or 2 transactions every week 7/ Use as many apps as possible The goal is to use as many smart contracts as possible to show that you are blockchain adventurer and not a one time farmer
Sui confirmed that their Mainnet will launch Q2! They also deleted their tweet stating there would be no airdrop 👀 Don't fade a L1 that raised over $360M (!) – keep those transactions going anon. Here's a lit of dApps you should try on the devnet: -> http://suiswap.app -> http://app.movex.exchange -> http://app.cetus.zone -> http://spot.kriya.finance -> http://suia.io -> http://suins.io -> http://dex.bluemove.net
▓▓▓▓░░ 71% Arbitrum's $ARB is coming this Thursday 🦅 🔵 77% of my audience got this airdrop. Congrats everyone, BTW ⚡️ 26% is holding no matter the price, and 50% is not selling below null.25. What is the purpose of the ARB token? 🧵👇 1/11 ✅ ABOUT PRICE I was thrilled to see that almost 80% of the people who voted in my Twitter poll got this airdrop. It's a huge sample of 7300 people Very happy that so many people are getting their first airdrop, there are 625,143 wallets eligible https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1636357015684481024 2/11 ✅ ABOUT PRICE In my second poll, 26% is holding. Only 22% are selling below null.25. https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1636771668206006272 3/11 ✅ ABOUT PRICE There is also an informal OTC market for ARB, I've seen prices from null to null.50 there today. (image attached) 4/11 ✅ ABOUT PRICE Another speculative price point can be found in protocols like PrePO, where people are betting ARB's FDV on $14.4B (one week after token launch), which is around null.50 per token. (image attached) 5/11 ✅ ABOUT PRICE If you want to have some fun, read this price scenario speculation I posted a few days ago.

Arbitrum Airdrop Farming Make your own 'Guildxyz Roles on Arbitrum' meme at https://memester.xyz/create/editor/0x0136c3-0x90
Remember when Aptos airdropped 4 figs for something as simple/ridiculous as minting a free NFT and entering your email? What if the Sui airdrop will be equally as ridiculous and all you have to do is mint a Capy NFT and stake some test SUI? Yes, Sui stated that there would be no airdrop; but so did Paraswap. Sacrificing 3 mins of your time for a potential 4 fig airdrop seems prudent – no matter the size of your bankroll.
Internet is so young
This smol airdrop guide got massive traction on Twitter, so I'm posting it here too: • Bridge at least 0.11 ETH to zkSync Lite (crucial step) • Generate volume on ZigZag • Mint an NFT (require software like IPFS) • Repeat twice per month until 🪂 Those steps matter much more than generating volume on their testnet with fake tokens imo.
Went for a complete degen play a couple days ago w/ $USH. The pool2 ponzi pays around 700% APR while the market cap is a few million. My funds are locked until end of March - so far it's been working out tremendously well. Will most likely exist the majority by then if in profit. Sisyphus is farming it w/ ETH only and will dump at some point. You didn't hear that from me though.
Still believe a high % fade airdrops opp's as soon as it involves spending real money. In fact, most lucrative airdrops force you to spend $ on: swaps/bridges, liquidity, NFTs, domains etc. Airdrops often aren't 100% free; just the r/r ratio heavily favors spending some $. Some past examples of high-profile airdrops: ᛫ Uniswap - swaps/provided liquidity ᛫ Blur - sold/bought/bid NFTs ᛫ ENS - bought ENS domain ᛫ Optimism - bridged, used dApps and now Arbitrum Literally all of them forced you to spend real money on transactions; but it paid off fivefold.
Kinda crazy how much engagement/likes I've gotten on my objectively speaking best thread up to date. So many hours put into it and it's full w/ actionable alpha - I guess one might say deserved?
Airdrop Tip: Orbiter Finance (a bridge) basically confirmed a token would launch at some point. Probably prudent to use their bridge and generate some volume. It helps that Orbiter is not only blazingly fast, but also super cheap and bridges to Arbi Nova, zkSync and Starknet - a lot of birds with one stone. Bonus Tip: Join their guild (on guildxyz) and work towards the Ace pilot role. Do it organically though and don't spam too many transactions / day.
85% of my CT following is from Miles Deutscher; most of you likely only understand gibberish when reading my posts. Don't blame you – in essence I'm a niche on-chain degen focused on yield farming w/ occasional fundamentals sprinkled in. Still appreciating every single one of you (also on Lenster).
Looks like the DFK fork on Arbitrum just keeps on chugging along while playing 20,000% APR. I'm still in the LP's but will take some further profits soonish.
Using the current sell-off to load up on some more LSD bags. Sorted by allocation size. Theory: As we get closer to Shanghai, smaller LSDs will run faster - we then consolidate into the big 3-4.
Published quite a lengthy report regarding $SSV w/ 24 slides. Here's the one-pager: • $SSV provides decentralized L0 staking infrastructure • DVT is key component in ETH’s roadmap; $SSV has first-mover advantage • LSD's will leverage $SSV's tech • Token has real value accrual • Flywheel possible via fee/grant dynamics • $50M Eco fund Chart is up-only, but still believe it has tremendous upside LT and is one of my favorite high beta ETH alts.
gear hallucinations
Accumulating SSV as my infrastructure LSD play. IMO Liquid Staking Derivatives are much more than just a short-lived narrative and will benefit greatly from the Shanghai upgrade. Planning to do a thread/thesis on SSV at some point.
Impeccable timing; would've preferred though if price stayed suppressed a bit longer for the DCA process. PA can be attributed to the fact that $SUDO is now tradeable. Time to get back to wallet watching and find out what the big boys are doing w/ their $SUDO.
Remember to work out and lift heavy weights regularly anon. Sounds cliche, but it's true; health = wealth
How to create a wallet, receive, buy, and mint your own Bitcoin Oridnals NFTs. 💵 A punk NFT on bitcoin recently sold for 9.5 $BTC ($214,000). At the time of writing, just over 101K NFTs have been minted on the bitcoin network. 🧵 This could be a degen opportunity... 1/ Before starting, note that this is a relatively new tech, so multiple risks are involved. As there is no proper marketplace available, OTC is the only trade option and this increases the risk of scams. So proceed with caution. After all, it's a degen play... 2/ Now to be simple, Bitcoin Ordinals are NFTs on bitcoin. But, the creator of this protocol @rodarmor likes to call it "inscriptions" rather than NFTs. It's like storing an NFT or data on each satoshi. Bitcoin Ordinals consist of 2 concepts: 🔢 Ordinals 🎨 Inscriptions 3/ 🔢 Ordinals are based on the ordinals theory, which is a way of numbering a sequence of things. In the case of bitcoin, 1 BTC = 100,000,000 satoshi. Each of these sats is tracked or numbered using the ordinals theory, the ordinal here is a UTXO for a specific Sats. 4/ An unspent transaction output (UTXO) refers to a specific unit of Bitcoin that has not yet been spent. Each UTXO is associated with a specific amount of Bitcoin and a unique identifier that represents the transaction that created it. 5/ 🎨Inscriptions: By inscribing sats with arbitrary content, inscriptions can create unique digital artifacts that are native to the Bitcoin ecosystem, which is often referred to as NFTs. Now there are many differences between NFT on ethereum and bitcoin. 6/ For example, the data such as images for ethereum NFTs are stored on IPFS (off-chain), whereas for bitcoin the data is stored on-chain. Once an inscription has been created, neither the creator nor the owner can modify it in any way. 7/ You can not only store images but also many more things. Inscription 466 consists of a game: http://bit.ly/3lAH92a 8/ Let's move on to the guide... 9/ 1. Creating a wallet for receiving NFTs • Download the standalone wallet file for your system: https://sparrowwallet.com/download/ • Check this detailed step-by-step guide for creating an ord compatible wallet with Sparrow Wallet: https://bit.ly/3Yz4L5H 10/ 2. Creating/Minting your own NFT on bitcoin U need to run a full bitcoin core node for minting, and it's a tough task to do. But there is a simple way (using this service) • Open: https://ordinalsbot.com/ • Select your file. • Enter the BTC address • Select the speed and pay. 11/ Now, don't try to make any transactions on the bitcoin wallet where you received the NFT. As any transaction might move that specific sat out of your wallet resulting in the loss of that NFT. 12/ You need a per-coin control-supported wallet for that. And I suggest you wait for the launch of @ordinalswallet which will be launched soon. As it's a bit of a complex process using a sparrow wallet. 13/ 3. Buying NFTs Now for buying NFTs there is a single way as of now. Through OTC "inscription-trading" channel on the ordinal's discord channel: https://discord.gg/ordinals *Now there are risks involved with this, always try to trade only through escrow with the admins. I mentioned bitcoin NFTs (ordinals) a week ago in my newsletter. There are many more early-stage alphas you can get through it, so don't forget to subscribe, I will be posting an explosive new letter this Sunday, don't miss it out: https://alpharush.substack.com/

Those Orca Pools w/ an asset that seems to be in an up only trajectory kind of feel like a cheat code. I'm in them while the getting is good. (Somehow can't post an image right now; I'm talking about the RLB pools)
Sui's Frenemies game is live on their testnet V2. You can earn 1 of the 2,000 allowlist spots for the Sui Community Access Program by playing it. 🧵Here is how👇 🗃️ Index: 1. Game Info 2. About Sui Community Access 3. Game Tutorial 1. Game Info • It was designed to test out the staking functionality. • You can stake tokens and choose to support validators to compete on the leaderboard. • Players will be randomly assigned one of 41 validators, as well as a role: Friend, Neutral, or Enemy in each. 2. About Sui Community Access • The Sui Community Access Program was designed to enable users to acquire some tokens in the early stages by buying them. • There isn't much info available about the price, supply, and tokenomics. 3. Game Tutorial • Setup Sui wallet: https://bit.ly/3US9q0B • Gain some test Sui tokens from the "testnet-faucet" channel on discord: https://discord.gg/sui • Connect here: https://frenemies.sui.io/ • To join a round click on "Play Round X" in the top right corner. • Now there are 3 roles: Friend, Neutral, and Enemy. • As you can see in the image, your role, assigned validator & objective will be defined. • ⚔️ Enemy: In this role, you have to stake your tokens to the opposite validator and try to lower the rank of your validator. • 🛡️ Neutral: In this role, you may need to adjust the rank of your assigned validator based on the objective rank. It could mean, either you need to lower or upper the rank. • 🧑🏼‍🤝‍🧑🏻 Friend: In this role, you have to support your assigned validator by staking your tokens. • For eg, let's try out the round as seen in the image. • According to it, - Role: Neutral - Assigned Validator: DSRV - My objective: Move your Validator to the assigned rank by allocating SUI Stake to them. • As you can see, the current rank is 37 out of 41. • So, I have to move the assigned validator to at least the 25th rank. • I need to stake my tokens to DSRV in order to do that. • I will search for "DSRV" in the list of validators and stake my tokens to them. • Players earn 10 points for completing their objective and an additional point for each rank their validator gained. • 2,000 allowlist spots will be declared at the end of the testnet and will depend on the score of each player. • That's all for this guide! 🧾 I have sent out my second newsletter today, and there are many alphas to discover in it.

LSD's seem as bullish as it gets for the foreseeable future w/ CEX Staking going under. I'll keep accumulating my basket and will revert to this post in a few months.
