In 2021 era if you were a brand new, upcoming or established creator The alpha was participating in content bounties as it was +EV in multiple ways (especially during the bear market) Why? 1/ Improves your writing, reading comprehension, and content creation skills (formatting / language style that you have battle tested to know what does better) 2/ Builds out your content resume (even if you don't win) = more future opportunities if the content is good/ clearly high effort 3/ If your good enough and you win then you also get paid for, usually there is even something for second or 3rd place 4/ if the teams are smart and actually read the content you can still win even with like 1/3rd of the engagement Admittingly this is more of a +EV activity to do in the bear market when time opportunity cost isn't as high I did this frequently throughout the bear market (and actually won most of the ones I participated in where I put in high effort) There used to be a ton of content bounty sites/platforms that I would list (here) if they were still around prominently In 2025 the reiteration of this is Kaito, InfoFi, and many algos constantly working to try and figure out how much "mindshare %" to potentially give you for content instead So your forced to run a Kaito centric playbook for 2025, but you need to do it from a 2021 content bounty perspective Some platforms to get you started: @Tunnl_io @kabbal_io @YapTradeDAO @YapdotMarket @Yarm_AI - launching soon @yapeclub - launching soon

The current beta to Jumper for tokenless bridge aggregators is @okutrade There's a new profile page now, with Oku points and XP "coming soon" While your swaps/bridges do not give points now points will likely be retroactive Just replace where you normally see your @JumperExchange bookmark with Oku, you won't rally notice the difference It also lets you hit some route like through Bungee (tokenless) which Jumper does not support ____________________ Bearish points: Added a new rule users need min 7 swaps $500+ each and 7 bridges $500+ each every 14 days to qualify for the rewards Assuming this is an effort to combat bots and spam but these min requirement don't work because it costs almost nothing to swap and bridge between stablecoins on L2 = bot farms won't be deterred I agree with @0xphatbear (shoutout to for putting this on my radar) that better alternative would be to low threshold amounts + use a blend of financial tasks (such as swapping, bridging, providing liquidity, and depositing in vaults) alongside social elements (referrals, engaging on Discord roles, X mindshare ect)

Rewards/ yield for LPing in blackhole + vfat auto rebalancing over the past 10 days has given a larger ROI (with the same amount of liquidity) than the past 20 airdrops that have happened over the last year (other than "once in a quarter" type drops / outliers like Kaito) The real farmers in 2025 for tokenless projects are the protocols native teams and VCs kek

The points checker for @MeteoraAG has finally been released Some notes on criteria and distribution based on their article Unclear min amount of points needed for $MET airdrop "There are a lot of addresses that fall below the points cutoff for the MET Airdrop" Snapshot 1 June 30th 2025 1,000 points per $1 in trading fees, and 1 point per $1 of daily TVL Eligibility Blacklisting process - wallet, pool, and token-based If you feel you were incorrectly flagged for backlisting there should be a "submit and appeal" button on the UI of the points page - from user feedback I've they seem to be pretty liberal and quick to address user appeals Wallets "worked with Dethective and Arkham Insights to identify a list of 100+ Kelsier addresses, and zeroed all of them out" Rugcheck .xyz provided a list of 30K+ addresses being marked as suspicious. If this is you, you should be able to submit an appeal on the UI after internal review 2.5k of these 30k addresses were whitelisted Pools goal was to "identify as much pools as we can that was programmatically doing wash trading, to inflate their points" TVL or volume less than $500 USD (as jupiter LPs need to have a min of $500 of TVL) Tokens If you minted/created a token, and then provided liquidity on it, that token and its fees will be blacklisted Also applied a list of generic rules: Top 2 holder count > 98% Top 5 Holders >+ 95% Freeze Authority == true Token Holder Count <= 100 → blacklisted I managed to get ~6.9M points across 5 different wallets running different strategies (mostly thanks to automation using @SOL_Decoder

This is Ooyama's Pikachu Its from a set fan-coined name "Vending Machine Series" due to only being accessible from vending Machines in Japan for only 1 year in 1996 They would literally come out of the machine as large slabs and you would have to "peel" the cards out The illustrator is Kouichi Ooyama (one of the original designers of the Pokémon TCG) with his signature "hand drawn" bold line style There's ~3k of these cards that exist in a PSA 8 or higher ________________________ All of these deep niche and lore reasons are why I like the card (and also why I think its currently undervalued/overlooked) Slowly learning all of these things was like learning and playing the "game" of "sifting/uncovering alpha" Thankfully this somewhat became a transferrable skill to the world of web3 / crypto

What I found most interesting in @Trevee_xyz's $S post S1 breakdown they posted a spreadsheet of the scUSD APR (basically the amount of S tokens you got for your liquidity) went from 1872%-->93%-->47% within the first 3 weeks If you had been farming Sonic eco for their airdrop and used scUSD (Rings Protocol now rebranded to) you'll have S to claim from their Gems / protocol allocation And then the APR went from 21% to 6% in 6 weeks (imo where its much less +EV to have liquidity deployed) Reference - I had ~80M points ($8k in scUSD) = ~$130 in $S and 50% of that is vest over 3 months Shows how important it is to be early with size and be a rotatoor Not sure why the APR for veUSD and veETH skyrocketed on week 10+ so someone who knows why this happened pls fill me in

Among the current self-custodial wallets, Ambire appears to be the current frontrunner in leveraging EIP-7702 for users EIP7702 = allows to you to multi batch txns (think sign approval and bridge in same txn, or claim and send your airdrop to another wallet if your origional wallet has been compromised) @AmbireWallet got in early and has become one of the leading wallets actively using this on Mainnet There is already over 63M WALLET tokens in the public buyback address (6% of the total supply) with another 52% of the supply staked The buyback flywheel is fueled by actual wallet activity More features people want --> more users --> increased swaps --> more fees accrued --> more WALLET buybacks Ambire $WALLET is at a $14M MC = ~22x less than the top MC wallet Trust wallet $TWT – $358M MC Worth keeping an eye on if you're tracking leaders in the smart wallet space
