- 2024 is Going to be The Most Important Year for DeFi
My DeFi journey started 7 years ago when I became passionate about the idea of democratizing finance. Ethereum enabled a platform where financial enthusiasts like me could build open, accessible,...

- Linkedin has a content supply problem. Most of the people on linkedin are not creating content and its mainly a tiny fraction that is. Thats why users might see posts that are weeks old. On the other hand, Linkedin is kind of a professional graph where the environment is less attractive for posting content. People don’t want to get under the magnifying glass in their professional lifes unless they are building audiences. There is a good opportunity to build a professional social app where content is the main focus.

- **LIP-4: Profile Guardian**
We're creating a proposal to add a safety layer into Lens Protocol profiles to help Lens users to protect against phishing scams.
NFT owners including Lens profiles have been recently targeted with phishing attempts. While it's disheartening to see people lose their NFTs or profiles, we want to be proactive and innovate on the safety standards for NFTs.
We are introducing Profile Guardian which disables certain critical actions such as approvals and transfers for Lens profiles. Profile Guardian is enabled by default and can be opted-out if profile owners want to move it to a new address.
Disabling it will activate a 7-day cooldown period. During the 7-day cooldown period, services such as Lens API can track and provide the data to clients, who can notify users that their profiles are in an unsafe state, and recommend actions to secure the profile.
We hope Profile Guardian inspires others to improve end-user security when interacting with NFTs, especially as more users onboard into the web3 space.
Full Proposal: https://github.com/lens-protocol/LIPs/pull/18

- 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.

- White Rabbit
- PREPARING FOR $STRK 🐺
Time sensitive post, 8 hours left ⏰
@argentHQ wallet is doing a "Xplorer Campaign" - something similar to the Arbitrum Odyssey that got the $ARB airdrop to many users.
There are 8 NFTs to collect. Deadline for the 1st is today
Airdrop Strategy 🪂:
1/xx
Similar to Arbitrum Odyssey, Argent is:
• Launching one campaign per week
• Rewarding 1 NFT per week after each campaign
• Helping users get to know the Starknet ecosystem
• Helping protocols get discovered
2/9
$STRK: remember that the token has already been confirmed and deployed. Not currently trading:
0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766
There is no information about a retroactive airdrop for Starknet users yet, but there is 8.1% of "Unallocated" supply.
3/9
$STRK: In the other hand, StarkEX users (dYdX, Immutable, etc) are indeed getting an airdrop.
Stay tuned for more news on this front - we will probably get some updates when the token becomes tradable.
4/9
This campaign is a good way to generate organic activity on-chain and to get to know Starknet protocols.
Argent will be giving 8 NFTs for 8 weeks, 1 per week.
First week was until May 9. However, since the network was slow, they extended the deadline to today 23:59 🚨
5/9
WEEK 1
To get the first NFT:
1. Install Argent X extension: 🔗 chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/argent-x/dlcobpjiigpikoobohmabehhmhfoodbb
2. Bridge ETH to Starknet: 🔗 starkgate.starknet.io (or use Orbiter)
3. Make (1) transaction on Starknet Mainnet using Argent X (make a swap @10KSwap, use @Orbiter_Finance, etc)
6/9
WEEK 1
Argent extended the deadline so users can get the first NFT if they interact today.
There's still time - deadline is Thursday 11 May 23:59 UTC.
https://twitter.com/argenthq/status/1656597368316231681
7/9
WEEK 2
Starting yesterday, there is time until May 16 23:59 UTC to also complete week 2.
To get the second NFT:
1. Play the game in: 🔗 starkfighter.xyz
2. Get a .stark domain for free here: 🔗 xplorer.starknet.id
3. Submit your score (tweet required)
8/9
NFTs cannot be minted yet.
They will share a link for users to mint the NFT after the snapshots are taken, so stay tuned.
Once there's news about the mint page, or week 3 tasks, I will update.
These tasks are not capital-intensive, it's a great opportunity to interact.
9/9
🏛️ You can delegate your future $STRK tokens to olimpio.eth in advance: 🔗 https://delegate.starknet.io/profile/olimpio.eth#statement
(ETH Mainnet txn required)
I was chosen to be one of the recipients of the Starknet Foundation's voting power ⚡️
I'll update
⚡️
- Here is an updated airdrop strategy guide covering both Layerzero and zkSync.
I have structured this thread in two parts and it covers 3 main dapps on each platform.
So by trying out these total 6 dapps, you will be prepared enough for the $ZRO and $ZKS airdrops.
A thread🧵
Index:
🔮 Why I think there is still time. [Tweet 1-2]
♾️ LayerZero Airdrop Strategy. [Tweet 3-6]
🔛 zkSync Strategy. [Tweet 7-10]
Airdrop eligibility is mostly influenced by transaction count, amount, and duration, so the number of Dapps you try is not the key factor.
1/10
Why do I think there is still time?
• Snapshot for these airdrops was done roughly 30 days before the announcement:
- Arbitrum (38 days)
- Optimism (32 days)
• According to Matter Labs CEO, zkSync's $ZKS token will launch in approx 1 year.
• Also, $ZRO launch is confirmed.
2/10
Before we start,note that most of this is speculation and nothing is 100% confirmed. So try at your own risk.
I have divided the thread into easy-to-understand step-wise modules.
Each strategy covers the 3 main dapps.
So... LFG 🚀
3/10
♾️ LayerZero Airdrop Strategy.
- It's a messaging protocol that helps in passing messages or data across different chains.
- The main products built using this tech are bridges.
Let's try the dapps.
4/10
1. Use Stargate.
‣ Transfer from one EVM chain to other.
‣ I prefer swapping between BNB, Arbitrum, Optimism and Polygon. (low fees)
‣ You can try the stake feature and stake some $STG (Optional IMO, as the main product is bridge).
🔗 Link: https://stargate.finance/transfer
5/10
2. Use Aptos Bridge.
‣ Use the transfer feature.
‣ Transfer assets(USDC, USDT) between APTOS and other EVM chains.
‣ I prefer Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism and BNB due to low gas fee.
🔗 Link: https://theaptosbridge.com/bridge
6/10
3. Buying some $GETH on testnet bridge.
‣ Use the bridge.
‣ Buy some goerli ETH using ETH.
‣ I prefer Arbitrum & Optimism due to low gas fee.
🔗 Link: https://testnetbridge.com/
7/10
🔛 zkSync Airdrop Strategy.
- Zksync is a ZK layer 2 rollup, whereas optimism and arbitrum are optimistic layer 2 rollups.
- The average past day TPS on zkSync has reached 11+, surpassing arbitrum and optimism.
- In this strategy I will focus mainly on the ERA version as I think it makes no sense to try lite as of now.
Let's jump on to the dapps...
8/10
1. Use the main bridge.
‣ Bridge to zkSync ERA.
‣ The only chain available as of now is ethereum.
‣ So the gas fee will be high.
🔗 Link: https://bridge.zksync.io/
9/10
2. Using Orbiter Finance.
‣ Now by using this dapp, we can also target the orbiter token which is confirmed and yet to launch.
‣ So, use the bridge to move assets to zkSync era.
‣ I prefer arbitrum and optimism as the gas fee for bridging is very low on both.
🔗 Link: https://www.orbiter.finance/
10/10
3. Swapping on Syncswap.
‣ They also have a confirmed $SYNC native token, which is yet to be launched.
‣ Swap using the dex dapp.
‣ You can also add liquidity in the pools, which is should be taken as optional IMO.
🔗 Link: https://syncswap.xyz/

- SCROLL TESTNET AIRDROP STRATEGY 📜⚡️
Scroll_ZKP is a zkEVM with a 1.8 billion valuation and no token yet.
How to use Scroll Testnet, deposit in Scroll's AAVE, swap in Scroll's Uniswap v3. No funds are required.
20-minute strategy 🧵👇
1/9
What is Scroll_ZKP?
Scroll is a zkEVM.
A Zero-knowledge Rollup on Ethereum, like Starknet and zkSync.
2/9
Scroll has already reached around $80,000,000 in funding.
Funded by several investors - Qiming Venture Partners and Polychain being the most recent.
🔗 crunchbase (dot) com/funding_round/scroll-tech-series-a--6cdb41f2
1.8 billion valuation
3/9
Will there be a token? An airdrop?
No airdrop was confirmed so far. However, we can test the chain, following this strategy.
• Vitalik, Barry Whitehat, Chih-Cheng Liang and Konstantopoulos made reviews of Scroll
• The team consists of 20 people (they are hiring)
4/9
How to interact with Scroll?
We will be engaging with Scroll Alpha Testnet, and also trying AAVE Scroll Testnet, which deployed recently
👇
5/9
STEP 1: Go to 🔗 scroll.io/alpha
STEP 2: Add Ethereum Goerli Testnet & Scroll Alpha Testnet to your MetaMask
STEP 3: Get Test Goerli ETH on faucetlink.to/goerli or faucet.paradigm.xyz
6/9
STEP 4: Bridge from Ethereum Goerli Tesnet to Scroll Testnet using their Hop fork scroll.io/alpha/bridge
STEP 5: Check your bridge transaction on their explorer: blockscout.scroll.io
7/9
STEP 6: Let's try Aave's new Scroll Testnet. Go to app.aave.com and enable "Testnet mode"
STEP 7: Switch to Scroll Alpha
STEP 8: Go to Aave's Faucet to claim test tokens: app.aave.com/faucet
STEP 9: Deposit tokens to Aave ⚡️
8/9
STEP 10: Make swaps in Scroll's Uniswap v3: uniswap-v3.scroll.io/#/swap
STEP 11: Join the Scroll Guild and claim some roles: guild.xyz/scrollzkp
STEP 12: Visit their applications page for additional Dapps to use: scroll.io/alpha/ecosystem
9/9
With Optimism and Arbitrum, it was a good idea to be an early user and use the chains organically.
This testnet is not incentivized at all, and transaction history could potentially be wiped
$SCROLL, though, will eventually come in my opinion. It's best to try all chains!
- HOW TO PREPARE FOR EIGENLAYER TESTNET ⚡️
This could be one of the next big trends.
Eigenlayer: A protocol on Ethereum to "re-stake" your ETH.
How does it work and is there a potential big airdrop?
🧵👇
1/7
What is EigenLayer?
EigenLayer enables ETH stakers to restake their ETH or LSD (stETH, rETH) to secure other apps on the network, earning additional rewards.
Users opt-in Eigen's smart contracts and stake to earn interest on top of the existing ETH POS interest.
2/7
How does EigenLayer work?

The initial phase of the three-stage launch plan for EigenLayer's protocol, the Stage 1 Testnet, was unveiled by the company on the 6th of April, 2023.
This testnet is not incentivized. But you can try it now! 👀

3. Send some Goerli Test ETH to this address 0x1643E812aE58766192Cf7D2Cf9567dF2C37e9B7F to get stETH
5/7
STEPS CONTINUED:

8. See your balance on the dashboard.
7/7
POSSIBLE AIRDROP?
• Not likely, for now.
• They have not confirmed any airdrop.
• Testnet is not incentivized.
However, it usually is a good idea to be an early adopter in the crypto space. It might pay off! 🪂
Moreover, this is a testnet, so no capital is needed.

- PIKA airdrop confirmed!
If you interacted with @PikaProtocol you are probably eligible.
Details below:
Pika is a DEX that enables leverage trading in Optimism.
They received a 900,000 $OP grant from the Optimism Foundation.
In August 2022, they airdropped some of those $OP tokens to people that traded or LPed in their platform.
Now, they are launching their $PIKA token
They have not released any details about airdrop eligibility criteria yet, just a medium article with details of their tokenomics.
Full announcement here:
🔗 https://pikaprotocol.medium.com/announcing-pika-token-launch-1969a9fb041f
Total supply: 19M tokens
They will use 11% of the total supply (2.09M tokens) for "Retroactive and Future Airdrops", distributed as "esPIKA" (vested over 1 year)
I'll update when there's more news about this release.
If you followed my PIKA strategy, you will probably be eligible 👀

- How to run a Momoka Verifier
This video walks through how to run a Momoka Verifier on your local machine 👟
The Momoka Verifier enables you to operate a trustless verifier node that validates LENS DA publications in real-time.
It can also serve as an indexer, allowing you to stream and index the data yourself.
This open-source solution relies exclusively on software that you can run independently, without any dependency on LENS.
This ensures that even if LENS were to cease operation, you would retain access to your content, maintain proof of ownership, and continue to utilize it, all thanks to a decentralized data availability storage layer.
- **$SWELL airdrop confirmed 🪂**
We have alpha from @swellnetworkio discord - they will be airdropping tokens to people that staked ETH with their platform
🧵
Quick recap: Swell is a protocol similar to Lido and Rocketpool, it allows users to stake their ETH and accrue interest
I posted about swell in Discord on September 2022, when they were on their "Guarded Launch" stage
Swell's "Guarded Launch" ran from August 23 to September 16.
People could deposit up to 10 ETH and receive swETH.
They confirmed that people that staked in their Guarded Launch will be airdropped tokens when they launch 🪂
Only 176 people was able to get in before the window closed 👀
$SWELL is under development.
We should wait until announcements are made in the future, this stage is extremely early
It could be possible to get $SWELL if we do something right now: they might chose to airdrop not only to Guarded Launch stakers but new users too
Swell did an architecture update recently, now they work similar to how Lido does (with a token that appreciates in value as interest accrues)
Full details: 🔗 https://blog.swellnetwork.io/update-on-swells-architecture-upgrade/
Here is a more detailed thread how the protocol worked:
https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1592614882301513728
Right now, ETH staking is paused, but "Stage 2" will launch and staking will resume, eventually.
No dates explicitly disclosed so far, so stay tuned. I will update when there's news

- gm lens frens 👋
Today I have made an important decision in my life 📢
I quit my job today and going to focus full-time on maintaining the first-ever open-source frontend @lenster.lens 🌸 powered by @lensprotocol 🌿.
Building social media was my dream since 10th grade, I built more than 4 social media in public but all failed, Lenster is my 5th one and it’s going crazy ⚡️.
I believe building in public is key 🔑 to the success of a product.
We have a lot of items queued up in the roadmap, be excited about it 🕺
**Collect this post for 2 WMATIC and support Lenster’s development 🙏**
- **Hey anon, we’re excited to drop 🌿Wagame $LENS cheat sheet 🤫👇 and with this occasion**
**we’ll give away 1 KoruDAO NFT ($285 on OS) - to enter #LMCC (paid collect 2,85 WMATIC)**
You’ve probably seen countless speculations about “guaranteed” airdrop from Lens - we have come to the conclusion that most likely none of these speculations will end up to be true, our evidence points to something more nuanced than these.
Many assume @lensprotocol is just following the usual airdrop blueprint and will reward anyone who made a couple of posts and has a 2 digit follower count. This narrative has been pushed on tweetr by threadoors to farm engagement - read on to learn what our research revealed **👇**
1️⃣ Lens target business model
2️⃣ Stani’s views on airdrops
3️⃣ Where Lens currently is as a project
Now let’s review each 🔎
**1️⃣ Lens target business model**
If you were at Lens 1st Twitter Spaces last yr you’d notice that the entire chat was about artists + music NFTs. @stani.lens keeps on posting about the same & even reached out to some rappers. He also hired ex-TikTok staff - app known for creative content
Use Lens advanced post search tool by @rickydata.lens and see how often Stani posts about this:
‘Music’ 👉46 posts
‘Rap’ 👉27 posts
..and so on
https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0102cc-0x01a9
🧠 Conclusion: Lens is targeting indie creatives and wants them to be posting their content on Lens. You, random degen, is not their top priority as poster right now, sorry 🥲. You’re still wanted on Lens, but mainly as collector of their posts
Why target creatives?
Because artists can sell their art as NFTs on Lens and Lens can get a cut from these sales. This is a potential source of revenue that makes their business model sustainable over the long run
Also, if everyone starts buying & selling each others’ posts, it’ll make use of Lens’ key feature - you own your data and are free to monetise it. See the statements made in their Open Letter
Lens = social content marketplace
**2️⃣ Stani’s views on airdrops**
Stani is known as someone who doesn’t like to do airdrops. We think he means “standard” airdrops here that just reward every participant. But he clearly understands the pitfalls of just dropping a token to everyone who interacted with the platform.
🧠 Conclusion: content that adds value > random posts to game the system in the hopes of airdrop
Simply posting stuff on Lens that doesn’t generate any traction (non-viral content) and doesn’t add much value is unlikely to be determining factor imo
Still, Stani is Web3 native & understands that not rewarding early supporters is a lost game, especially for a project that requires social support. We may see some rewards for being early user, we just think that it’s unlikely the MAIN criteria
**3️⃣ Where Lens currently is as a project**
Based on the same Open Letter, Stani has big plans for Lens to challenge Web2 social media giants. If Lens is to take on TikTok & Twitter, it needs many more users than just Web3 natives. They need to reach ‘normies’
https://www.lens.xyz/letter
But right now there’s only 88k Lens handles with a post. Hard to say how many of these are Sybils. Compare this to Twitter and TikTok user base and global reach. We’re still early and normies aren’t here yet
https://dune.com/gm365/lens
🧠 Speculation: expect some creative way to incentivise normies to join Lens. $LENS content monetisation (social mining?). Vampire airdrop targeting top creators on YouTube, TikTok etc? Wouldn’t that be crazy & generate big mainstream buzz?
So what MIGHT happen, based on the above?
🌿 If there’s airdrop, simply minting Lens handle and sitting on it won’t do. This is not ENS
🌿 Creators that managed to generate a following and sales via collects (+those that collected their NFTs) might stand higher chance of rewards
🌿 Buildors (Lenster, Orb, Lenstube etc) might also get allocation just like we have seen with Arbitrum and Optimism Stack. It could be up to the projects then how to use this allocation - some might choose to reward past users, some might choose to do incentives
Other things that Lens might consider in future:
🌿 Introduce monetisation where the more engagement your post gets (via paid collects for example), the more $LENS you get. Similar to liquidity mining but on a social media app. Social mining? Think monetisation on YouTube
Other things that Lens might consider in future:
🌿 As mentioned above - vampire airdrop to creatives with a following on current Web2 social media. They would then have to shift to Web3 if they want to claim their tokens. Would be a big onboarding event for their followers too
Gaming the criteria will be almost impossible, abuse is avoided thanks to @sismo zkdrop - to get an idea how it could look like, check out Sismo Ethereum Influencer ZK-badge:
https://app.sismo.io/twitter-ethereum-influencers
🌿 Being early supporter might still play a role.
But quality posts > quantity, plus focusing on what Lens team is focusing on atm (supporting creatives by collecting their paid posts) might be a better alpha play. So create good paid content or collect it from others
**What action to take if you have no coding skills and aren’t a creative talent?**
🌿 be consistent: try to switch to Lens protocol as your preferred social media platform, interact with other active users daily
Stay tuned, we will drop more opportunities for our subscribers to actively interact on Lens protocol in a fun way - promised!
@punkess.lens has got you covered with the most extensive resource on how to get started on Lens:
https://lenster.xyz/posts/0x0f85-0x1452
🌿 become a collector: most paid collects are fairly cheap <10 WMATIC, a good start is to collect this post! Don’t miss this opportunity, we’ll give away our KoruDAO NFT to 1 lucky collector! #LMMC this post to enter the fair raffle via @lensdropxyz.lens 👇
@korudao.lens is the first DAO owned Lens account, the 282 KoruDAO NFT holders are able to post on Lens protocol from a 10k subs account. The projects was started by the OG’s from @gelato.lens and is currently in the process of finding a consensus between DAO members (=NFT holders) to provide the most value to the DAO over short time goals from individual members. An interesting experiment to say the least and hence the NFTs floorprice on OS is currently at $285.
