Today in DeFi: Airdrops

Solana Labs Backed Trading App, Saturn Registration Live - Airdrop Alpha

Wed, 11 Nov 2026 08:02:15 GMT

Today’s News Headlines:

Across reports a suspected domain hack. About $294K has been drained, and the team says not to visit the app or approve sign-ins.
iOS sandbox-escape exploit is now public. SlowMist says a proof of concept is out, and Binance warns it could expose seed phrases on iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2.
FinCEN named MEXC a primary money laundering concern. Binance now rejects outgoing transfers to MEXC and holds incoming deposits for review, while ZachXBT questions the $16B allegation.
Aave DAO voted 100% to bring native Bitcoin collateral to V4 via Babylon. V4 has also passed $600M in active loans.
Initia halted its L1 after a $615K outflow. Early findings point to compromised rollup keys used to fake cross-chain transfers.
IRIS launched fixed-rate borrowing on SparkLend. Solvers compete to quote a fixed rate for your chosen duration, and a failed solver reverts the loan to SparkLend’s floating rate.
Pendle listed four USDe fixed-term markets. 2027 terms were first quoted around 5.24%–6%, and PT-USDe can be exited before maturity.
LlamaRisk proposed trimming Aave V3 Core. It would remove $1.33B of riskier collateral and freeze new deposits without forced liquidations.
zkSync launched Prividium Connect for institutions. It lets them privately link their existing chains.
X added Fomo as a trading partner for Solana tokens. Users tap “Trade” on a cashtag and finish in Fomo’s wallet app.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Saturn: Season 1 and 2 Registration Open Until Nov 16

Saturn is a Bitcoin-linked digital credit protocol with the USDat stablecoin and a yield-bearing sUSDat. Registration for the Season 1 and Season 2 airdrop opened Nov 9 and closes Nov 16 at 9:00 AM EST (14:00 UTC). It’s free, and it is not a claim. It only confirms your eligibility and receiving address; claiming opens separately at TGE. Press reports put TGE in Q4 2026 with no date, and the Season 2 pool at up to 5% of supply.

To register, connect the wallet that earned Saturn Points, sign a message, verify Discord, and confirm. The registered wallet must be the one that earned the points. It’s not offered in the US, EU, or EEA.

Official link: claim.saturn.credit

⚠️ Registration does not guarantee an allocation, because final eligibility is set at TGE. Register the wrong wallet and you get nothing. Saturn says the registration link is published only from its official X account, and that it never DMs first or asks for keys or funds, so treat any other “Saturn claim” link as fake. Sign the message and nothing else.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often offer the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin-points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocol’s first 3–6 months (we’ve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.
Treat every entry below as capital-at-risk, not “free points”. Size positions like you could lose them entirely, and never deposit more than you’re fully prepared to write off.

Earn Up to 30% APR with BOLD/USDC on Aero

Estimated APR is about 14% for ranges covering the historical weekly price, or about 30% for aggressive ranges, on two of the lowest-risk stablecoins: BOLD (ETH-backed) and USDC (cash and Treasuries).

<Farm BOLD/USDC on Aero> | Today in DeFi is supported by Liquity

Airdrop Updates:

Predict Fun: Choose 35% Now or 100% After a Year, Deadline Nov 26

Binance postponed its PREDICT listing, but the airdrop election is open to Predict Points holders. Option A pays 35% in weekly batches through Nov 27. Option B pays 100% after a one-year stake and is the default. The deadline is Nov 26 at 09:00 UTC.

⚠️ The choice is one-time, and Option A forfeits the other 65%. Option B locks your tokens for a year with no listed price. Check your points only in Binance’s Prediction Account or the Predict dApp in Binance Wallet, and treat any other claim page as fake.

Extended ($XTEN): Final Rate About 4.29 XTEN per Xpoint

Extended has ended its points program and set the final rate at about 1 Xpoint = 4.29 XTEN. It comes from the 300M XTEN (30%) community allocation, fully unlocked at TGE. There’s no TGE date and no EU spot at launch.

⚠️ The 4.29 rate comes from Extended’s post and serves as an estimate, not a guaranteed fixed statement. Insiders reportedly hold about 53.88% of supply. Fake XTEN checkers are circulating, so use only Extended’s official pages.

New Opportunities:

Leap: Solana Labs’ Stock and Crypto Trading App

Leap is a self-custodial mobile app from Solana Labs, built by the team behind Dialect, that lets you trade tokenized stocks, ETFs, metals, currencies and Solana tokens in one place. It opened in early access on iOS on Nov 5, with a waitlist and Founders Club at leap.xyz.

There are no Leap fees at launch, and future fees are planned to buy and burn SOL and fund a referral program. Founders Club members get referral rewards once fees start. No Leap token or airdrop has been announced, so this is one to watch, not farm.

Official link: leap.xyz

⚠️ Tokenized stocks and ETFs aren’t available in the US, UK, EEA, and many other regions, and VPN workarounds aren’t allowed. A tokenized asset gives no ownership, voting rights, or dividends, and its price can drift from the real one. Trades on-chain can’t be reversed, so check the amount before you confirm. Use only the official leap.xyz link.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

infiniFi: INFI Airdrop Registration Open Until Nov 10

infiniFi is a yield protocol built around the iUSD stablecoin (siUSD stakes it for yield and liUSD locks it). Registration is now open for the Season 1 and Season 2 INFI airdrop. It is only for wallets that earned points in either season. Both snapshots are complete, so new activity doesn’t change those allocations. Registration closes Nov 10 at 15:30 UTC.

Eligibility: points came from minting and holding iUSD, staking to siUSD, locking to liUSD, Pendle positions (YT and LP), curated vaults on Morpho, Euler and Tau, and the Katana event. Referrals added 10% of your referrals’ points.

To check, connect the wallet you farmed with at app.infinifi.xyz/infi. It should show any Season 1 or 2 allocation. Season 3 points are now live, but they don’t affect this airdrop.

Official link: app.infinifi.xyz/infi

⚠️ Registration only covers Season 1 and 2 wallets, so a new wallet has nothing to register. Points are not a promised payout until the page shows your allocation. Fake “infiniFi claim” sites are likely, so open only the official site, check the domain, and approve nothing beyond registering. Chasing Season 3 means real capital in a stablecoin and yield stack, with depeg and smart-contract risk, and Pendle yield-token positions can lose value as they approach maturity.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often offer the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin-points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocol’s first 3–6 months (we’ve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.
Treat every entry below as capital-at-risk, not “free points”. Size positions like you could lose them entirely, and never deposit more than you’re fully prepared to write off.

Earn 20% APY with a Fixed-Rate Borrow Loop on Liquity

While variable-rate loops get squeezed when borrow costs spike, Inverse’s FiRM locks your rate at 4.69%, just 1.02% after Merkl rewards through Dec 12. Loop Liquity’s ysyBOLD earns 5.00% from real liquidation gains and borrower interest, at ~5x leverage, for about 20% net APY.

Airdrop News/Updates &

Predict Fun: Token Launch Postponed

The Season 1 claim is delayed (70M tokens, 7% of supply). Wait for an official date.

⚠️ The old Oct 30 claim time is void, and the launch is tied to a Binance listing with no new date. Treat any claim page before an official announcement as fake. When it opens, you choose 35% instantly or 100% over a 12-month vest, and the vest leaves you exposed to price moves for a year. Unclaimed tokens are forfeited after roughly a month.

Ondo Perps: Referral Campaign Ends Nov 11

This is a cash campaign, not a token airdrop, because ONDO already exists. You earn up to $60 USDC per qualified referral (tiers of $20, $40 and $60 by referral volume) plus 10% of their fees, and referred users get $20.

A referral qualifies with a net deposit of at least $500 held through the campaign and at least $2K in volume. A separate points program runs on volume and open interest.

⚠️ This is a cash campaign, not a token airdrop, so the upside is capped at $20, $40 or $60 per qualified referral. A referral counts only if they keep at least $500 net deposited through the campaign and trade $2K, and leveraged perps can liquidate that deposit in a volatile market. Don’t open positions just to qualify, and don’t push friends into trades they can’t afford to lose. The separate points program has no stated conversion.

MetaMask: Perps Contest Ends Nov 12

Opt in through the Rewards tab. The top 30 by realized PnL share up to $100K in mUSD, and the pool scales with volume. You need about $10K in perps notional volume, and only positions opened and closed in the window count. Winners need KYC and tax forms.

⚠️ Ranking is by realized PnL, so the contest rewards large leveraged bets, and one liquidation can cost more than the prize. Only positions opened and closed inside the window count, so anything still open at the deadline scores nothing. Winners need KYC and tax forms, and prizes are paid in mUSD with claim deadlines. Opt in only through the Rewards tab of the official app.

New Opportunities:

StableStock: Genesis Points Just Launched

StableStock is a mobile app for trading tokenized US, Hong Kong and South Korean stocks and ETFs with stablecoins. It closed a strategic round at a $75M valuation (Amber, Nomad Capital, Flow Traders, Gate), and YZi Labs backed it earlier.

Genesis points launched Nov 2. You earn by holding or trading (spot or leveraged spot) eligible stocks and ETFs, with daily distributions by 02:00 UTC. Pre-launch activity gets retroactive points, and early users get OG Boosts. Cash balances earn nothing. No token or conversion rate is announced.

Official site: stablestock.finance

⚠️ Points are a participation metric only, with no token or conversion rate announced, and they can be revoked for wash trading, self-trading or forced liquidations. Cash balances earn nothing, so farming means holding stock exposure, and a drop in the stock can cost more than the points are worth. Leveraged spot adds liquidation risk, and liquidated positions earn no points. I couldn’t confirm the custody and issuer structure behind its tokenized stocks, so read the docs, and check restricted regions before depositing.

STRATO: Season 2 Points, Token Planned

STRATO is a platform for vaulted gold and silver (claimed 1:1 physical backing in NYC), plus the USDST stablecoin, lending, swaps, and CDP minting. It was built by BlockApps, which raised $41M in a 2022 Series B (Liberty City, Morgan Creek, ConsenSys).

Season 2 points come from minting, LPs, the savings vault, lending and swaps. Points are expected to map to $STRATO at a TGE tentatively set for Q4 2026, with no public conversion rate. To start, bridge in (ETH, USDC, USDT or WBTC) and check the Rewards dashboard. New users get free transaction vouchers.

Official site: strato.nexus

⚠️ The 1:1 physical backing in NYC vaults is the company’s own claim, and I found no independent attestation. CDP positions can be liquidated, LPs face impermanent loss, and the USDST stablecoin carries depeg risk. The Q4 2026 TGE comes from dated pages with no conversion rate, and a prior sale is noted, so points may convert into a diluted allocation. Size it like a DeFi position, not a free farm.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

StandX: Checker Live, Claims Open Nov 1

StandX is shutting down and has canceled its token. Instead, it is giving eligible users DUSD (its stablecoin) with no lockup. The checker went live Oct 26.

Eligibility: activity counts, meaning pre-deposits, Alpha, mainnet trading, market making, and referrals, on the BNB Chain or Solana wallet you used. Claims run Nov 1 (00:00 UTC) to Dec 31, and unclaimed amounts are lost. Total pool and per-user amounts are not disclosed, and Pranjal says allocations look low.

Separate from the airdrop: withdraw funds and submit any DUSD redemptions before Jan 31, 2027. Official checker: standx.com/airdrop.

⚠️ This is a wind-down, not a token launch. Anti-sybil and wash checks can cut or cancel allocations, and DUSD liquidity on PancakeSwap and Raydium is removed Jan 31. Fake “StandX claim” sites are likely, so only use the official domain.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often offer the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin-points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocol’s first 3–6 months (we’ve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.

Your Rate Doesn’t Move Unless You Move It

Aave and Morpho set your borrow rate based on utilization —it can spike overnight. Liquity V2 lets you set your own fixed rate, with up to 91% LTV and up to 11x multiplier on ETH exposure.

<Open a position now on DeFi Saver> | Today in DeFi is supported by Liquity

Airdrop News/Updates &

Avant: Season 1 Points Buyback Open

Avant is a yield protocol with tranched products (savUSD, savBTC) and about $158M TVL. It is buying Season 1 points at a fixed $0.025 per AVANT, which is a $25M FDV. At least $250K is set aside.

Eligibility: wallets in the Season 1 snapshot only, and not the US or other restricted regions. Register until Nov 16, 23:59 UTC. Payout is in avUSD after registration closes.

Signing moves no tokens and approves no contracts. You pick a percentage with a slider and can change it until close. Doing nothing keeps your full allocation.

Official page: app.avantprotocol.com/buyback.

⚠️ Orders may be filled fully, partly or not at all, and sold AVANT is removed permanently. $0.025 is a floor-style exit price, not a prediction of the TGE price. Avant says the page never asks for approvals or a seed phrase, so treat any page that does as fake.

Extended ($XTEN): Token Confirmed, Tokenomics Oct 31

Extended is a self-custodial perp and spot exchange that moved from Starknet to Circle’s Arc on Oct 22. $XTEN has a 1B genesis supply, with 300M (30%) for eligible points participants, paid into a self-hosted Arc wallet. Launch is planned for November, and tokenomics follow from Oct 31. Official wording: this is not an offer to claim.

Weekly points have ended, and a “Final Arc” competition (750K points plus $250K USDC for the top 500) needs opt-in by Nov 3. Funding is about $19M, including a round led by eToro.

⚠️ No conversion rate or eligibility rules are published. US, UK and Canada are restricted. Wash trading can zero your points.

Soneium ($SONEIUM): Token Planned, No Details Yet

Soneium, the Sony-backed L2, said it will issue SONEIUM as an “economic layer” for creators, IP owners, and fans, alongside a new Tokenized IP product. No TGE date, supply, or eligibility details. The official thread says it will share more details soon.

⚠️ An announcement is not an airdrop. Ignore any checker or claim site until Soneium publishes rules.

New Opportunities:

Silhouette: RFQ Block Trading for BTC and HYPE Perps

Silhouette lets you trade large sizes on Hyperliquid at a single price. Market makers compete to quote your full order, so you don’t slice it across the book. BTC and HYPE perps opened Oct 19 (up to $100K per quote), after tokenized stocks launched Sept 1. HIP-3 markets are next.

You sign to accept a quote, and the trade settles in your own Hyperliquid account. The fee is 1.4 bps for takers, plus Hyperliquid’s usual fees. Backed by a $3M pre-seed led by RockawayX. No points or token, so this is one to watch, not farm.

Official link: app.silhouette.exchange

⚠️ Fills can be partial, so check your Hyperliquid account after each trade. Only approve the signing key and fee on the official app. Leverage and liquidation risk apply.

Jumper Perps: xPerps Points Are Live

Jumper has launched a perps aggregator that routes you to several perp venues from one interface, with a new points system called xPerps. Each week, a pool of points is shared among traders by activity relative to everyone else. Weeks run Monday to Monday (UTC), starting Oct 19. Pranjal reports 1M points a week, but Jumper’s post gives no pool size, so treat that as unverified.

Three multipliers apply. Existing Loyalty Pass holders get a boost that rises with their level, but only if they trade from their Pass wallet. Selected venues can carry extra points (Jumper doesn’t name them, so check the app). And consistent weekly trading earns up to 1.25x. A tiered referral program also pays a share of your referrals’ trading fees.

xPerps are separate from the old XP, so newcomers start fresh. Not for US persons.

Official link: perps.jumper.xyz

⚠️ No conversion from xPerps to $JUMP is stated, and the $JUMP TGE is still unconfirmed (Q4). Points are not a promised airdrop. Perps are leveraged and you can lose all your funds. Wash trading and sybil farming can get you excluded.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

USD.AI ($CHIP): Season 2 Claims Open, Season 3 Live

USD.AI lends against GPUs to AI infrastructure operators. You can mint USDai (backed 1:1 by PYUSD) or stake it as sUSDai to earn yield from GPU loan interest.

Season 2 distributes 225M CHIP (2.25% of the 10B supply) to points holders: USDai stakers, LPs and holders. Claims open around Oct 20–22 on Arbitrum, with no lockup or vesting. Unclaimed tokens are forfeited after Jan 31, 2027.

Season 3 runs to Apr 14, 2027, with points reset, referrals removed and multipliers up to 15x across USDai, sUSDai, Pendle positions and CHIP LPs. Its CHIP allocation hasn’t been disclosed.

Official link: app.usd.ai/dashboard

Risk note: The 7% hurdle depends on a finite reserve, not a guarantee. sUSDai has an epoch-based unstaking queue of roughly 30 days and an exchange rate exposed to loan performance. GPU lending carries credit and collateral risks, while leveraged LPs and YT positions add liquidation and expiry risks. Season 3’s CHIP allocation remains undisclosed, and multipliers may change. Use only the official app to claim.

Fables ($FABLES): TGE Today, Claims Close Nov. 20

Fables launches on Robinhood Chain on Oct. 20, with points and PROLOGUE claims open until Nov. 20. Points claims are only available to wallets that saved a selection before the Oct. 19 deadline. Each point converts to 0.08 FABLES, with the final choice determining the payout: 30–60% liquid, 80% as veFABLES with a six-month lock, or 100% as veFABLES with a rolling two-year lock.

PROLOGUE holders can redeem at least 1 liquid FABLES per 40 eligible tokens if they held them in a self-custodial wallet through the Oct. 17–18 snapshot and have not transferred them since. Total supply is 1B, with liquid supply capped at around 75M at TGE. ve(3,3) voting, staking, and emissions also launch today.

Official link: Fables.fi

⚠️ The selection choice is final, and locking pays more but ties up the tokens. If you miss the window, you can't claim points. The unclaimed 45M cap means the liquid supply is small, so the early price can be volatile. Robinhood Chain is new, so expect liquidity and technical risk around launch. Only use fables.fi. The team has warned against claim links in replies and DMs, and fake claim sites spike on TGE day.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often offer the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin-points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.

Airdrop News/Updates &

Papertrade ($PAPER): Minting Curve Changed, Token Still Non-Transferable

Papertrade revised its minting curve and trading fees on Oct. 19–20, roughly 10 days after launch. PAPER remains non-transferable with no timeline for tradability, leaving staking for USDC distributions as its only use.

The new curve mints about 0.1% of current supply per $1M lost, replacing the previous flat rate and gradually diluting earlier holders. New fees penalize closes within 6 bps of entry during market hours and 10 bps off-hours; the team claims tight-scalp bots face 15x the impact of normal traders, based on its own backtest. Additional contract protections and builder codes are also being introduced through a timelock.

Community reaction is mixed to negative, with some criticizing the changes as rule shifts after losses.

⚠️ Our Oct 10 entry described minting at 100 PAPER per $1 lost under a $2M LP. That mechanic is outdated, so don’t rely on it. PAPER has no market and no transfer path, and dilution now works against earlier holders. The system still depends on Hyperliquid’s price data. Treat any losses as money you’ve already donated to the pool, and check the docs for the timelock announcement before trading.

StandX: Platform Shuts Down, DUSD Airdrop Replaces Token Launch

StandX is shutting down and canceling its native token launch, replacing it with a one-time DUSD airdrop funded by remaining revenue and team capital, with no lockup. The checker opens Oct. 26, claims start Nov. 1 using the same BNB Chain or Solana wallet, and close Dec. 31 at 08:00 UTC. Kaito participants with prior token allocations are also eligible.

Perps enter reduce-only mode on Oct. 20, with remaining positions force-closed Jan. 15, 2027. Final withdrawals and DUSD redemptions close Jan. 31.

Check eligibility when the checker launches, claim before the deadline, and withdraw remaining funds before the shutdown dates. Use only standx.com and verified official channels.

Official link: standx.com

⚠️ A missed claim or withdrawal deadline forfeits your funds. Premarket prices for a hypothetical StandX token collapsed on the news, and there is no token to farm now. Yield programs and new deposits have already stopped. Fake checker and claim sites will appear around Oct 26 and Nov 1, so only use standx.com and the verified @StandX_Official account.

New Opportunities:

Elysium (Kinetiq): Hyperliquid L2 Sets Nov. 9 Mainnet Launch

Kinetiq’s Elysium L2 is scheduled to launch on Hyperliquid on Nov. 9, using HYPE for gas and settling to HyperEVM. The Arbitrum Orbit chain targets ~100 ms blocks and ~300 Mgas/s, with sequencer fees allocated to builders (25%), Kinetiq’s treasury (25%), and KNTQ buybacks (50%). That makes this a value play for KNTQ and HYPE, not a new-token play.

The testnet is live, but no Elysium-native token, points program or airdrop has been confirmed. Testnet activity remains speculative; the project is designed to accrue value to HYPE and KNTQ instead. Initial sequencer centralization, delayed fraud proofs and bridging risks remain key caveats.

Testnet: elysium.kinetiq.xyz

⚠️ Nothing here is a confirmed reward, so don’t size capital for it. The initial sequencer is centralized, fraud proofs come later, and HyperCore integration arrives after mainnet, so timelines can shift. Competition across Hyperliquid-related farms is heavy and liquidity may fragment across new apps. Standard bridge and smart-contract risk applies.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Jumper ($JUMP): Sale Closed, TGE Pending

The Legion sale (Sept 29 to Oct 2, $75M FDV) is over. The $3M hard cap drew $48.6M in demand, so the average fill was about 6% of what people pledged (my arithmetic from those two figures). TGE is still “Q4 2026” with no date. The team’s Oct 6 allocation post ends with “See you at TGE.” Public-sale tokens unlock 50% at TGE, with the remaining 50% unlocking linearly over 4 months.

Eligibility: only wallets that received a Legion allocation can claim. Priority was scored on Jumper XP, waitlist top-500 status, and referral quality. US, UK, and UAE users were blocked. Check your Legion fill, since pledging didn’t guarantee one.

⚠️ 50% unlocked at TGE on a $75M FDV risks selling into a thin book. The token has no claim on LI.FI’s business. Only use official Legion and Jumper links, since fake claim pages spike near TGE.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often offer the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin-points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocol’s first 3–6 months (we’ve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.
Treat every entry below as capital-at-risk, not “free points”. Size positions like you could lose them entirely, and never deposit more than you’re fully prepared to write off.

Airdrop News/Updates &

Hibachi: Open Campaign Ends Oct 18

Privacy-focused perp DEX with an off-chain order book, on-chain fund management, and a proof of solvency, now expanding into stablecoin-native FX. Built by the co-founder of Hashflow with a team from Citadel, Tower, and IMC. Raised roughly $5-8M (Dragonfly, Electric Capital).

Points distribute weekly (Mondays ~03:00 UTC), roughly 500k-1M per week, based on trading activity, open interest, and referrals. Hitting volume thresholds on specific markets (BTC, EUR/USD) unlocks 1.05x-1.50x on your full week’s activity, and the thresholds reset weekly.

Hibachi Open runs Oct 7-18: an extra 1M points shared pro-rata among traders with at least $500k in eligible volume, plus a cash pool of up to $20k for the top 50.

No conversion rate or token allocation has been published. The team has referenced a $HEAT ticker, but that’s not a confirmed token.

Official link: hibachi.xyz

⚠️ The $500k threshold means real leverage and liquidation risk, so don’t chase it for a few points. Multipliers and pool size can change weekly. Wash trading and multi-accounting can zero your points. No token is confirmed.

TxFlow: Season 1 Points Backlash, Rules Revised Oct 12

Community reaction to the Oct 11 rules was negative enough that TxFlow changed the program the next day. The main complaints were an “up to” trader pool that could dilute early users, a large referral pool that favored people with big audiences, scoring weights that were never disclosed, and no commitment on how pre-season activity would be treated.

What changed (Oct 12):

Trader pool: fixed at 1.25M points per week (82%), no longer “up to.”
Referral pool: cut to 152k per week (10%), with unused points burned.
Growth reserve: 488k per month (8%), with unused amounts burned at season end.
Distributions: first Season 1 drop is Oct 20. Season 0 (pre-season) activity is planned for distribution before Oct 27.
Season length: Season 1 ends no later than Q1 2027.

Traders who called the first version a red flag generally say the revision is more acceptable.

Official link: docs.txflow.com/points/how-points-work

⚠️ The points rules do not confirm a token allocation, conversion rate, or TGE date. Pure volume farming is unlikely to work given the quality weighting and anti-farming checks. Access still requires a code, and a new L1 carries technical and liquidity risk. Watch how Season 0 is treated before the Oct 27 deadline.

New Opportunities:

Arcus: Season 1 Is Live, Invite-Only Access Opened

Season 0 is done, with amounts redacted for now. Season 1 started Oct 1: a fixed 250,000 points per week, distributed Wednesdays at 3 PM ET, running through the end of H1 2027. A fixed pool means more users shrink everyone’s share. Quality-weighted trading, market-making, retained collateral, and referrals all earn points, with boosts for Stock Tokens, off-hours trading, and Robinhood Wallet spot swaps routed through Arcus. Wash trading, self-matching and deposit-trade-withdraw churn can zero your points.

Arcus calls points a “participation metric only,” allocated at its sole discretion. The only token language is still the dYdX statement that any future allocation is reserved for the dYdX community first, then Arcus users later - still not confirmed.

Official link: app.arcus.xyz

⚠️ Points carry no guaranteed right to a token. Perps are invite-gated and restricted in the US, UK, Canada and other regions. Leverage and stock-gap risk apply.

Loopscale: Merging With Orca as “Formation,” No Standalone Token

Loopscale is merging with Orca under a new entity called Formation. Loopscale will not launch its own token. ORCA becomes the single token for all of Formation, covering both the Orca DEX and Loopscale’s credit markets. The FAQ says there is no new mint of ORCA.

What it means for farmers:

Positions: loans, loops, and vault deposits are unchanged. You don’t need to repay, withdraw, migrate or sign anything.
Points keep accruing until a conversion event, which is planned for later in 2026. The team says to “stay active until then.”
Partner points: points from OnRe, Fragmetric, RateX, and others are still earned and claimed through those protocols.
Conversion: the target is expected to be ORCA exposure, but the rate, snapshot date and eligibility rules haven’t been published.

Official docs: docs.loopscale.com/resources/formation

⚠️ The long-expected standalone Loopscale airdrop is off the table, so the value of your points now depends on a conversion rate nobody has seen. Don’t add new capital just to farm points before the details are out. Early contributions are described as “not being ignored,” but no multipliers or cutoffs have been confirmed. Only trust the official Loopscale and Formation channels.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Concrete ($CT) — TGE Done, Foundation Claim Live

Concrete is an institutional-style yield vault layer (Earn, Vaults, Enterprise) with ~$1.2B in deposits and 54k depositors, backed by Polychain, YZi Labs, and VanEck. $CT went live September 30.

Eligibility: The Foundation claim is for wallets that earned Concrete Points (Points and Bags, or on-chain vault use). Connect the wallet that actually deposited. Earn Vault users get a separate USDC allocation, claimable October 16 at 12:00 UTC, and a vault bonus enrollment window was extended to October 14.

Official Link: concretefoundation.xyz

⚠️ Team and investors hold 50% of supply, with a one-year cliff, so the real supply event is still ahead. CT is a governance token with fee config, not a profit claim. Match the contract (0x0A09…7F46) before approving anything, since fake claim pages are circulating. No new retro points season exists, and new deposits are yield-only.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often offer the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin-points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.

Reya ($REYA): v2 Orderbook and Season 2 Live, Gated Access

Reya moved from an AMM to a zk-verifiable orderbook (v2), with markets in BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE, XRP, plus gold, silver, and oil added this week. Backed by Framework, Coinbase Ventures, and Selini.

Season 2 carries 3% of total supply, a minimum, not a cap. Season 1 was locked on Sept. 28, so this is an extra pool. Points count open interest, trading frequency, maker and taker volume, and RLP staking. No end date or conversion rate yet.

Access is the gate. The first waitlist wave is small. Queue rank follows Season 1 activity and real referrals. Golden Tickets come later, and the giver takes a permanent cut of that trader’s fees and points.

If you’re in, trade real size and hold OI. If not, join the waitlist and don’t fund a second account to climb it.

Official link: reya.xyz

⚠️ 3% is a floor for this season only, with the rest of the supply and FDV unpublished. Gated beta means thin spreads and liquidation risk while market makers ramp. RLP staking is counterparty risk, not a points coupon. Wash volume will be stripped.

Fables: Points Extended to Oct 19, TGE Oct 20

The Oct 5 end date is dead. Per the Sept 30 official post, points now run through Oct 19 (250M/week for two more weeks), citing legal review. Dates can still slip.

Key dates:

Oct 12: claim guide, conversion rate, and lock multiples published
Oct 12-19: choose liquid $FABLES or a veFABLES lock. No choice by Oct 19 means no claim.
Oct 17-18: $PROLOGUE snapshot
Oct 20: TGE, with a one-month claim window

Supply: 120M for the community, at most 45M liquid at TGE. 25M is reserved for $PROLOGUE conversion (40 or more to 1 FABLES).

PROLOGUE holders: after the snapshot, selling or moving the bag kills your claim. Only tokens in a wallet you can sign from count, not LP, vault, or CEX balances.

The extension adds 500M points (1.5B total) against the same community pot, so each point is worth less. Keep LPing only if fees alone pay you.

Official link: fables.fi/

⚠️ Dates have moved once and can move again. Missing the Oct 12-19 choice window is the real loss. Don’t lock your whole bag until the Oct 12 multiples are public. Only claim from @fablesfi links, since fake claim sites will spike around Oct 20.

New Opportunities:

RWAperp: Early Access Open, Points Not Live

RWAperp offers 24/7 USDC-settled perps on equities and commodities, on OKX’s X Layer, with deposits via Arbitrum and BNB. You don’t own the stock. Wave 1 listed 18 markets: NVDA, TSLA, AMD, META, MU, SK Hynix, Samsung, the S&P 500, gold, silver, WTI, and BTC/ETH/SOL. The pitch is an oracle that handles closes, gaps, halts, and corporate actions.

Backed by a $2M angel round at a $50M post-money valuation (including Lime co-founder Brad Bao), not a top-tier fund.

Points are a retro promise, not a season. Official posts say activity “may contribute to future Early Points.” There is no dashboard, no published formula, no token and no TGE. The “1M points/week” figure comes from airdrops.io, not from RWAperp.

Wave 2 lets each Early Access user invite up to 10; invitees get instant beta access and 5% off fees for 30 days.

To position: join the waitlist at waitlist. rwaperp.xyz (X follow counts). If you get access, deposit a small amount and open one position; you can hedge elsewhere, such as NVDA or TSLA, against Hyperliquid or Ondo Perps. Don’t wash volume for a multiplier nobody has published.

Official link: rwaperp.xyz

⚠️ Retro points can be rewritten or ignored, and there’s no conversion rate or allocation. The $50M valuation is an insider mark on a beta book, not a floor for any token. Beta books are thin, with weekend and halt oracle risk on Korean and US names. In practice, stock perps aren’t open to US persons. X Layer’s $5M RWA incentive funds chain liquidity, not an RWAperp airdrop. Fake “points claim” sites are a risk, so only use rwaperp.xyz. Stop if they never publish the formula.

Live now: Jumper’s Legion sale runs through Oct 2 — paid, score-based, not an airdrop
Still farmable: Variational TGE confirmed Q4, but points keep accruing at 150k/week until then
Ending soon: Fables points stop Oct 5 — 5 days left to LP for allocation

| Today in DeFi is Supported by DeFi Saverr

Upcoming Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Jumper ($JUMP) — Legion Sale Live, Not an Airdrop

Sale window: Sept 29, 13:00 UTC → Oct 2, 13:00 UTC. Pay in USDC on Ethereum. Target $2M / hard cap $3M at $75M FDV ($0.075/token) — ~4% of supply at cap. Not first-come, first-served — Legion scores allocations by Jumper XP, waitlist top-500 status, and referral quality.

TGE targets Q4 2026, with 50% unlock at TGE and the rest vesting over ~4 months.

Blocked: US, UK, UAE, plus sanctions list. EU faces per-country caps.

If holding Jumper XP, connect that wallet on Legion — it affects your priority score. Full tokenomics unpublished — treat community FDV math as speculation until official.

Official link: legion.cc

⚠️ If the sale is oversubscribed, your pledged USDC can return a much smaller fill than expected — score-based allocation means no guarantee. A 50% unlock at TGE on a $75M FDV token can create real sell pressure into a thin early order book. This token has no claim on LI.FI’s actual business or cash flow — Jumper is a separate spin-out, already funded independently. Perps (”coming soon”) is explicitly the growth pitch funding this raise, not a shipped product yet. Geo and KYC restrictions are strictly enforced — US/UK/UAE users cannot participate at all, and no compensation path for excluded XP holders has been announced. Only use official app.legion.cc/app/invest/jumper — phishing sites targeting Legion sale pages are already circulating.

Airdrop News/Updates &

Saturn Credit ($STRN) — TGE Confirmed Q4 2026, S2 Pool Shrinks If Early

Saturn Credit locked $STRN TGE for Q4 2026. Structured credit protocol around USDat/sUSDat (BTC-adjacent yield), YZi Labs-incubated. Not a perp DEX.

Key mechanic: Season 2 pool is up to 5% of supply, but shrinks pro rata if TGE hits early. Season runs Aug 9 – Dec 8, or $1B TVL, whichever first — today is roughly halfway. Leftover from an early cutoff goes to ecosystem, not farmers. Season 1 allocations are separate. Season 3 starts right after S2 snapshot.

Points weight by activity: YT-USDat on Pendle (30x, decays to zero at maturity), Curve/Pancake LP (25x), holding USDat (5x). LP is generally cleaner than chasing max YT multiplier.

Restricted to non-US/EU/EEA. No tokenomics, claim mechanics, or FDV published yet — ignore any third-party “allocation checker” sites.

⚠️ 5% is a ceiling, not guaranteed — early TGE cuts the pool. Layered risk: USDat/sUSDat credit exposure, Curve/Pancake IL, Pendle YT decay. No FDV exists yet — don’t treat any checker number as real. “Disciples of Saylor” is marketing only; Strategy has no actual affiliation.⚠️

Fables — Points End Oct 5, TGE Terms Still Unpublished

Uniswap v4 hook DEX where markets (SPY/USDG, GLD/USDG) get calendar/volatility-aware fees — LPs earn more when risk is on. Points + $5,000 USDG rewards follow only in-range fees; idle liquidity earns nothing.

PROLOGUE (live token) ≠ FABLES (governance, not launched). PROLOGUE was slated to convert >40:1 into FABLES. October 5 is when points stop, not a guaranteed claim date — terms are still TBA.

Week 5: $636M volume, $1.47M to 10k LPs, ~$50M TVL. Points: 1B total (900M LP, 100M refs), no official conversion rate published.

Best plays: ETH/USDG (deepest liquidity, most points) or an actively-managed stock pair like SPY/USDG for the off-hours fee thesis. Partner pools add extra USDG — size small.

⚠️ Points don’t guarantee FABLES — TGE can slip. Out-of-range liquidity earns zero, requires active management. Stock pairs carry weekend/oracle basis risk. Only LP now if fees alone justify it — treat points as upside.

New Opportunities:

Lighter on Robinhood Wallet — 2x Boost Is Real, Not a New Farm

Recycled hook from August 13, not new. Lighter (zk perp DEX, $LIT already live) runs a separate book for Robinhood Wallet on Robinhood Chain — crypto and equity perps, 50/50 revenue split with Robinhood. Robinhood Ventures backed Lighter’s $68M/$1.5B round.

2x points for trades placed via Robinhood Wallet vs. standard Lighter web. Program since Aug 10; weekly Friday drops. 11M LIT is earmarked for this program — ~1.1% of total supply, not the full allocation. Weekly credits run ~75-90k points, not the larger “200k/week” figure sometimes quoted.

Restricted geo: US, UK, Canada, Switzerland, Singapore, UAE, China, plus sanctions list.

To farm: eligible geo, funded Robinhood Wallet with USDG, trade perps in-app. Referrals earn ~10%.

⚠️ No published points-to-LIT rate — weights can change, wash activity triggers clawback. 11M pool dilutes as more users join. Standard perp/funding/liquidation risk applies, plus weekend gap risk on equity markets. Real token unlock lands Dec 27, 2026 (26% team, 24% investors).

Variational ($VAR) — TGE Confirmed Q4 2026

Official tokenomics announced: $VAR launches Q4 2026. Arbitrum RFQ derivatives platform (Omni: 0% fee retail perps, Pro: institutional OTC). Backed by $62M, including Bain Capital and Dragonfly.

Tokenomics: 32% genesis airdrop (100% unlocked at TGE, pro-rata to points), 18% ecosystem reserve (not yours), 50% team/investors (12-month cliff). Older “50% to community” claims wrongly combined the 32% drop with the separate ecosystem bucket.

Points have been live since Dec 2025, currently 150k/week across 30k+ accounts. No official conversion rate — your share is simply points ÷ total points at snapshot. Must hold ≥1 point and sign ToS to claim, or your allocation burns.

Official link: omni.variational.io/points

⚠️ ⚠️ 32% unlocked with zero vesting at TGE means real day-one sell pressure. FDV unknown until launch — all points math is speculative. Continued weekly issuance dilutes existing holders unless you keep farming. “Q4” spans October to December — further delay is possible.

Airdrop Updates 🪂

Jumper — Perps Coming Soon, TGE Coming Soon?

Jumper is spinning out from LI.FI into an independent company — LI.FI stays on backend infrastructure while Jumper becomes the consumer-facing "super-app."

The JUMP token sale is confirmed via Legion — Jumper’s first outside capital raise ever, with no separate equity round. CEO Marko Jurina framed it directly: “users, contributors and investors will hold the same asset.”

Jumper Perps launches “in the coming weeks” as a separate product story — no points program confirmed for it, and existing Jumper XP (from swaps/bridges) is a different, older ledger with no stated connection to the Legion sale.

⚠️ This is a paid token sale via Legion, not a free airdrop — participating means committing capital, with all the normal ICO-participation risks (allocation caps, KYC, price discovery post-launch). No tokenomics, supply, or sale terms were published in the announcement itself — check Legion’s official sale page directly before committing anything.

Existing XP holders have no confirmed treatment in this process — don’t assume prior farming automatically earns Legion allocation priority. Jumper Perps has no confirmed points program yet; anything claiming otherwise right now is unofficial speculation.

Only use jumper.xyz and Legion’s official platform — expect clone sale pages to appear fast given the scale of this announcement.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often carry the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.

Airdrop News/Updates &

Travix — AI Perp DEX, Still Pre-Mainnet

Travix pitches a perp venue for crypto, plus a genuinely interesting angle: 24/7 perps on compute (H100, memory) and KR/JP/HK semis/stocks — names TradFi already trades but with no continuous on-chain mark. Backed by Amber Group in the seed round (amount undisclosed). Still testnet, own timeline says mainnet is phased after upcoming Seoul/SG/Bangkok events. Homepage volume/OI numbers are placeholders — nothing is live yet.

No token, no points program, no live books. The “AI omnibroker/agent” layer is unproven marketing until they publish an open model audit and replayable trade logs. The actually differentiated part isn’t the AI — it’s whether they can list a real compute index with tight spreads and documented methodology.

Nothing to farm right now — early access waitlist only. Don’t pre-deposit into any vault; nothing here is documented enough to trust yet.

Official link: travix.finance

⚠️ Team is 4 months old with no public founder bios at the standard of comparable protocols. Off-chain matching means you’re trusting their sequencer like any other off-book DEX. Oracle/index risk is the entire protocol if they do launch compute perps — a bad index means rigged pricing. When incentives eventually start, expect a standard volume/OI points farm printed into empty books. Watch for: (1) a real market maker quoting compute pairs, (2) published index methodology, (3) replayable agent trade logs, (4) October audits landing. Until then, this is a watchlist item, not a farm.

New Opportunities:

Liquid — Multi-Venue Aggregator, No Token Yet

Liquid is a mobile-first, non-custodial frontend that routes one wallet into many books — crypto perps, US/KR stocks, pre-IPO names, commodities, FX, prediction markets — through venues like Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Ostium, up to ~40-50x leverage.

Backed by Paradigm across two rounds ($25.6M total equity, no token round), with Lighter’s Vlad and Opendoor’s Eric Wu as notable angels.

No token, no TGE, no confirmed supply allocation. Points “may” become a drop — that’s the entire official commitment. Season 1 has paid 100k points/week since November 18, 2025, nearly 10 months of continuous print already. Earlier S0 (600k) and S0.5 (200k) were the cheap-points window — you’re now farming into a diluted pool (~4.3M S1 points already distributed) rather than an early one.

The real edge here is distribution, not a new matching engine: one trade can potentially earn points on both Liquid and the underlying venue (Hyperliquid, Lighter, Ostium) simultaneously — but only if those venues still credit volume routed through Liquid, which changes and needs verifying per venue before you assume the double-dip works.

Official link: liquid.trade/markets

⚠️ Formula for points weighting is proprietary and can reweight wash activity after the fact, same risk as any other perps DEX. You’re taking on each underlying venue’s oracle, liquidation engine, and geo restrictions — “non-custodial” doesn’t mean Liquid owns a unified onchain book. Pre-IPO and equity perps are synthetic exposure with the same legal/oracle risk as any tokenized-equity product. Don’t spin up a dedicated wash-trading book chasing 100k/week this late — you’re heavily diluted vs early S0 farmers. Paradigm-backed apps sometimes never ship a user token at all; points here carry no guarantee.

SmartX — Waitlist Contest, Not a Product Yet

SmartX pitches a social trading terminal for memes, perps, stocks, and prediction markets — backed by YZi Labs (Binance Labs successor), which is the actually interesting part here. Not a DEX or AMM. The app itself is still “coming soon” — a prediction-market Alpha exists, but this current campaign is purely a pre-launch waitlist contest.

“Chapter One” is a referral quiz, not a farm. Take a 6-question trader-type test, post your invite link on X, paste the URL back to bind your account and unlock rank. Earlier joiners and completed referrals earn “Boost.” Prizes are cash and fee coupons, not token allocation: top spot gets 3 months of 50% fee discount plus a trip and iPhone, ranks 2-100 get smaller perks and discounts, and up to 10,000 USDT total is shared across a weighted pool.

No token, no points formula, no TGE. Waitlist rank is not a points system — it’s a referral leaderboard contest.

Official link: smartx.io

⚠️ This is an attention-farming growth loop (quiz → tweet → email), not product usage. “Permanently recorded on-chain” refers to a leaderboard list/NFT, not equity or token rights. Rank is purely referral-based and time-sensitive — falling outside the top 5,000 happens fast as more people join. Fee discounts only have value once the app actually launches and you trade real size. YZi Labs backing does not imply a Binance listing or any confirmed future token. Multi-accounting will likely get wiped — they’ve explicitly stated a “one person, one account” rule. Worth a free 3-minute signup if you’re already posting on X; not worth sizing capital or building multiple wallets for. Revisit once the app is live, and they publish how trading actually maps to any future token.

Watch: Strata Markets TGE already missed its April 2026 target — points still accruing with no new date
Mark your calendars: Apyx TGE confirmed for Oct 13 — Season 2 Pips end Oct 11, about 4 weeks out

| Today in DeFi is Supported by DeFi Saverr

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Apyx — TGE Confirmed 4 Weeks Out (Oct 13)

Apyx wraps listed perpetual preferreds (leaning on $STRC) into apxUSD (dividend-backed synthetic dollar) and apyUSD (yield-bearing version), targeting ~13% APY from the actual coupon, not funding rates. Dates are locked: Season 2 Pips end October 11; TGE and airdrop October 13.

Fixed 100M APYX supply, no emissions — Season 1 + Season 2 combined give the community 11% pre-TGE, with S1 wallets getting a +20% boost on S2 Pips. The 42x Solana apyUSD boost already ended Sept 14 — don’t pay a Solana premium chasing a dead multiplier.

To farm the final month: hold apxUSD/apyUSD, use Pendle PT/YT/LP, or Morpho supply/borrow loops on app.apyx.fi/rewards.

⚠️ Yield is issuer-preferred risk — STRC can trade under $100, and buybacks are policy, not a guarantee. “13%” is a target on the credit, not a fixed stablecoin APY.

Tydro — Ink’s Native Aave v3, Farming for $INK

Tydro is Ink’s (Kraken’s OP-Stack L2) native Aave v3 white-label — supply stables, ETH, kBTC, or GHO, borrow against collateral, with standard eMode and liquidation mechanics.

Not a new money-market design, just Aave contracts deployed for the Ink ecosystem. TVL and fees has been growing lately, reflecting a rise in farming interest

No $TYDRO token exists. Points are Tydro Ink Points, which convert toward $INK — Kraken’s L2 token that hasn’t launched yet. This means you’re farming Ink, not Tydro specifically — if INK’s TGE slips or Tydro’s slice of the community allocation ends up small, the points APR here is largely marketing.

To farm: supply USDT0, USDG, USDC, GHO, WETH, or kBTC to earn Tydro Ink Points, tracked and claimed via Merkl from the same wallet. Season 1 snapshot already locked in January 2026; Season 2 is live now through the eventual Ink TGE.

S2 boosts (max 50%) favor Tydro OG users (before Sept 30, 2026), Aave OG holders (pre-2024), Ink OG users, larger deposit size, and kBTC holders — these boosts re-slice the same fixed points pool rather than minting extra points, so new small deposits share a pool with existing $10M+ lenders at base rate.

Official link: app.tydro.com

⚠️ No official INK TGE date exists — informal chatter pointed to Jul-Sep 2026, a window already passed as of mid-September. Points can keep accruing into a delayed TGE and get diluted the longer that takes. If the often-cited “45% airdrop” figure still holds, it’s whole-chain, not Tydro-specific — Kraken Pro activity could dominate that allocation over Tydro lenders. Standard Aave risks apply: oracle failures, utilization spikes, and newer isolated-listing collateral (SolvBTC, etc.) carry more risk than blue-chip assets. Ink ecosystem TVL has been volatile with exploit headlines earlier in 2026 — Tydro’s health is only as good as Ink itself. Don’t lever positions purely to chase boost optics; size what you’re comfortable leaving deposited through an uncertain TGE timeline. Only use tydro.com — lookalike domains like tydro-v2.com are already circulating.

New Opportunities:

BULK — Solana Perp DEX, AURA Points Post-Mainnet

Solana perp DEX with matching built into the validator client itself (BulkBFT) — 5-20ms fills, no gas, up to 20x margin. Mainnet went invite-only Sept 5. Genesis phase offers 0 bps maker fees through ~Oct 5. Backed by $8M seed (Robot Ventures, 6th Man Ventures, Anatoly as angel), audited by Zellic.

No $BULK token exists yet. Points are AURA — co-founder tweeted a 30% user allocation covering testnet, pre-deposit, and mainnet activity combined, but this isn’t published tokenomics.

Farm by trading on app.bulk.trade, holding BulkSOL for weekly AURA plus staking yield, or using referrals. Genesis 0-fee window makes volume cheapest right now. Day-1 had a real liquidation incident, reimbursed plus extra — messy ops, not an exit scam.

Official link: app.bulk.trade

⚠️ TGE timeline is vague — Discord chatter suggested late 2026 into 2027. A slipping TGE dilutes weekly AURA as the fixed print spreads across more users. Invite codes circulating on X are often recycled — get one from an active trader, not a KOL. Novel validator-level consensus carries infra risk beyond typical Solana program risk. No official AURA-to-BULK formula exists. No token or claim site exists currently — ignore any "TGE claim" links.

Strata Markets — srUSDe/jrUSDe Tranching, TGE Already Delayed

The “~5% APR + Strata + Ethena points” line refers to the Pendle LP-srUSDe pool, not simply holding srUSDe. Latest quote: Pendle LP-srUSDe-OCT26 ≈ 4.9% APY plus 60x Strata and 35x Ethena points.

Strata tranches sUSDe into risk levels: srUSDe (senior, targets Aave-like floor with junior absorbing first-loss) and jrUSDe (junior, eats shortfall or captures upside). Built by Frontera Labs, Ethena Foundation-incubated, $3M seed from Maven 11 and Lightspeed. Audited by Cyfrin and Quantstamp.

TGE flag: originally marketed for April 2026 — now mid-September with no new date given.

Points accrue via holding srUSDe/jrUSDe (base points), LP-srUSDe (highest tier — 60x Strata, 35x Ethena), LP-jrUSDe (~20x Strata only), and referrals (10% of referee points). No official points-to-token conversion formula published.

⚠️ “Protected” does not mean insured — junior TVL is the actual buffer, and if junior gets wiped out while sUSDe underperforms, senior simply earns raw sUSDe APY with no real floor.

Strata’s launch story cites Ethena’s October 2025 USDe depeg stress event as precedent. Pendle LP positions mature and die — the October 2026 maturity requires rolling or sitting in an expired position, with IL risk if you zap incorrectly.

The 5% headline yield is not the edge here — you can get comparable returns on vanilla stables; you’re being paid in points specifically for taking on the combined Ethena, Strata, and Pendle risk stack.

Looping PT-srUSDe on Aave (advertised 11-20%+) is a separate leveraged product with liquidation risk, distinct from the ~5% LP yield being discussed. TGE has already missed its original window — continued point accrual without a token launch means ongoing dilution risk.

Only use official strata. markets and @strata_markets — a completely unrelated Solana game called @play_strata exists under a similar name.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

GRVT — Claim Your Tranche (30-Day Window, No Make-Up)

Required registration by mid-to-late July with a chosen multiplier plan (1x/2x/4x). Tokens unlock in tranches over ~12 months — each with a 30-day claim window that is permanently forfeited if missed; no recovery.

Official link: grvt.io/exchange/reward-portal

⚠️ Missing any 30-day claim window permanently forfeits that tranche with no recovery. Geo-blocked jurisdictions apply — VPN gaming can void your eligibility. Only use the official grvt.io/exchange/reward-portal and verify via @grvt_io.

Airdrop News/Updates &

Polymarket Perps — Launched, No Confirmed Airdrop

Polymarket launched Perps, adding leveraged perpetuals across crypto, equities, indices, and commodities with up to 20x leverage. Markets expanded from ~10 to 67 within days, while US and Canada users remain blocked and routed to the CFTC-regulated polymarket.us affiliate.

There is no official points program or confirmed airdrop. Polymarket’s docs explicitly deny a token or announced airdrop, despite CMO comments that a coin and airdrop are coming and recent POLY/$POLY trademark filings. Treat circulating “airdrop multiplier” claims as speculation.

What’s real is pUSD-denominated rewards: prediction-market makers can earn liquidity rewards and rebates, eligible positions receive ~4% annualized holding rewards, and Perps liquidity providers share a $75K/day maker rewards pool based on maker share, spread, two-sided quoting, and uptime.

For a potential future $POLY, focus on genuine recurring volume, maker activity, multiple markets, and early Perps usage rather than short-term wash volume. Account consistency may also matter if Polymarket adopts strict anti-sybil filtering

Official link: https://polymarket.com/perps/asset/btc

⚠️ No airdrop confirmed in writing — official docs actively deny one.

Regulatory risk is real and live: 20+ states are fighting over whether this constitutes gambling, with the Ninth Circuit already siding with states in that framing — Perps for US users could stay locked or get downgraded. Standard leverage risk applies at 20x with hourly funding — this becomes a liquidation farm fast if treated as free points.

Event market resolution carries oracle/dispute risk distinct from simple crypto mark pricing. Sybil filters will likely be harsh if Hyperliquid-style patterns are followed — wash volume and bot activity have already been alleged in earlier Polymarket periods.

Political key-man risk exists given the ICE and Trump-adjacent capital structure. Fake “$POLY claim” sites will proliferate — only use official polymarket.com and polymarket.us.

New Opportunities:

Fables — Dynamic-Fee Hooks on Robinhood Chain (Points + Precursor Token)

Fables is a Uniswap v4 hook layer on Robinhood Chain that dynamically adjusts fees around stock-market closures and volatility. Live since mid-August across tokenized stocks, ETH, and gold, it has seen $10M+ in deposits and $200M in week-2 volume. The team is small and independent, without major institutional backing.

Two tokens exist: $PROLOGUE is live and acts as a precursor/warrant, designed to convert into $FABLES at TGE at a stated >40:1 ratio, representing 2.5% of the total FABLES supply.

$FABLES is the actual governance token and has not launched, with an October 5 TGE target that remains unconfirmed.

The actual farming opportunity is LPing on fables.fi. Chapter 1 distributes 1B points over six weeks, with 900M for LPs and 100M for referrals. Points are based on actual swap fees generated, meaning out-of-range liquidity earns nothing — active, high-fee pairs are the focus.

Official link: https://www.fables.fi/markets

⚠️ No named third-party audit exists for the hooks/AccessManager stack — a real gap. TGE date already softened from a target to “unconfirmed.”

PROLOGUE is a thin, volatile warrant token (50%+ moves in single days), not equivalent to holding FABLES — if TGE slips or the ratio changes, PROLOGUE eats that risk immediately while points farmers can just wait.

Note: the >40:1 conversion ratio and the 115M-liquid/25M-PROLOGUE-redemption breakdown come from third-party trackers, not Fables’ own docs, which reportedly haven’t finalized conversion terms — treat these as best-available estimates, not locked mechanics.

A separate, disavowed meme called $FABLE (no S) exists — verify ticker and contract address every time.

Only 115M FABLES is liquid at TGE (per current estimates), and PROLOGUE redemptions alone account for ~25M before points holders get their share. Uniswap still dominates Robinhood Chain volume, so Fables could lose the routing war once incentives end.

No redemption contract is deployed — any “claim FABLES” link right now is a scam. Only use official fables.fi and @fablesfi.

Arcus — Robinhood Chain RWA Perps DEX

Arcus is a Robinhood Chain DEX built by dYdX Labs and Robinhood Crypto, offering 24/7 tokenized stocks, cross-margined perps up to 50x, and pTokens for leveraged positions. Off-hours equity perps require extra margin, with restricted jurisdictions blocked.

Robinhood is a strategic investor and distribution partner, but Arcus is separate from dYdX Chain and $ DYDX. A future dYdX token may reward past traders, stakers, and validators, though details are unconfirmed. No official Arcus points program exists, but the team said a separate Arcus token is coming.

For farming, trade Stock Tokens with 0% spot fees, use available perps, or deploy pTokens. Waitlist scoring includes prior volume on dYdX, Hyperliquid, and Lighter, plus RWA volume and referrals. You can connect multiple wallets to aggregate history.

Perps Waitlist link: waitlist.arcus.xyz

Official link for spot trading: https://app.arcus.xyz/trade/spot/TSLA

⚠️ No points program and no confirmed allocation percentage for early Arcus activity specifically — dYdX’s own leadership has since confirmed a future token with allocation “prioritized” for the dYdX community (past traders/stakers/validators), but how that treats waitlist-only Arcus users is still unclear, and that slice could be small.

Tokenized equity plus 50x leverage plus offshore users is a genuine regulatory magnet — one ruling could affect the stock book or the entire front end.

Robinhood Chain concentration means bridge, USDG, and RH infrastructure all sit in one ecosystem. pTokens inherit the underlying perp account’s funding and liquidation risk plus additional ERC-20 DeFi risk on top.

Geo-restrictions are enforced — VPNing into a blocked region risks zero allocation and account bans. Trading empty stock tokens does nothing for the waitlist score; perps volume is what’s explicitly weighted.'

This week’s airdrop recap:

Claim/sale now: Umia claim opens Sept 2, Linera community sale live through Sept 8
Watch: Flop Labs AMA Sept 2 — eligibility weights finally get clarified
Dead: HyENA is shutting down — nothing left to claim, just a withdrawal checklist

| Today in DeFi is supported by DeFi Saver

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Umia ($UMIA) — Sale Closed, Claim Sept 2

Onchain venture and token-launch platform on Base, incubated by Chainbound with a $4.6M raise led by cyber Fund. The public auction already closed on Aug 29 — hit its $0.36 cap ($18M FDV) in about 7 minutes, with ~678 wallets filling out of 2,700 connected. Claim and trading opens September 2, 12:00 UTC on Uniswap v4 (Base). Purchased tokens have no vesting; unspent USDC gets refunded.

If you bid, claim on Sept 2. If you didn’t bid, there’s nothing left here — no community airdrop was ever announced, and third-party trackers explicitly flagged this.

Official link: app.umia.finance

⚠️ High day-1 float — ~62% of the 40M launch supply unlocked immediately, meaning real sell pressure potential. Sale filled at the very top of its price range. This is a token purchase you’re now claiming, not a farmed reward.

Linera ($LNRA) — Community Sale Live Sept 1–8

L1 for real-time “gamified” markets with strong testnet traction (~50k traders, 80M+ predictions, 2B+ test txs). This week’s event is a paid community round, not a free airdrop — running Sept 1–8 via sale.linera.net at a $160M FDV.

Two pools: reserved (badge holders, activity-based priority) and open (pro rata, $100k cap, $100 min). Commitment Credits give $1 fee-free Season 1 volume per $1 committed. Allocations finalize ~Sept 15; unfilled amounts refunded.

Badges only improve priority — no free allocation. Without badges, this is just a public ICO at $160M FDV.

⚠️ You’re buying pre-mainnet at a set valuation — this is not low-risk DeFi. KYC/Sonar verification required. Open pool allocation can be diluted if oversubscribed. Team and investor tokens vest over 12-month cliff plus 24-36 months, but the sale tokens themselves are liquid at TGE unless you opt into a lock. A genuine points/airdrop path may exist later for Season 1, but that is not what’s live this week.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often carry the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.

Airdrop News/Updates &

Flop Labs ($FLOP) — Tokenomics First Look (Update)

Arthur Hayes-led network for the agentic economy, where AI agents pay for compute/inference using $FLOP under a “proof-of-useful-inference” design. Fair launch narrative — no VC allocation or presale — though team/Foundation still get 11.4% via block issuance.

The split heavily favors technical participants over social contributors — the DID + content path most people can do likely draws from the smaller reserve slice.

Confirmed activity: DID + genuine Technocore contribution (generate did:key, publish something useful, record it signed). Emerging but unofficial: GPU inference mining, running a validator, or agent-based inference spending.

Next catalyst: AMA Wednesday, Sept 2, 09:00–10:30 SGT with Hayes — where eligibility weights should get clarified.

Official X account: x.com/flop_labs
Official Website: flop.finance

⚠️ All numbers are draft and can change. Most of the pool goes to miners/agents/validators, not content contributors. Token targets Q4 2026, chain genesis not until Q1 2027 — you’d hold a claim to a network that doesn’t exist yet. Not a passive yield farm — size expectations accordingly.

HyENA — Product Shutdown, Nothing to Claim

HyENA was a HIP-3 perp DEX on Hyperliquid using Ethena USDe as margin, built on the thesis that idle USDe should earn yield while trading. Ethena rewards ended in June 2026; HyENA Points are final, with no snapshot, conversion, or distribution. No token was ever planned.

If you have exposure: open perp positions auto-settle via TWAP as markets delist Aug 31–Sept 2, no action needed. HLPe holders should withdraw 1:1 plus accrued rewards via Upshift (1-day queue) — final rewards issued Aug 27, last affiliate payout Sept 9.

Official link: hyena.trade

⚠️ Ignore any “claim HyENA token” sites — none exists, and any such site is a scam. Don’t wait for a retroactive airdrop; points have no confirmed monetary value.

New Opportunities:

Metric — Watchlist (No Confirmed Points Program Yet)

Multi-chain DEX with “active pools” that price against live oracle feeds (Chainlink + Pyth) instead of AMM pool ratios — single-asset LP, no pairing needed. Thin liquidity, high turnover: claims ~$2B monthly volume on under $4M LP capital, vs DeFiLlama’s ~$4.8M TVL. Already routing aggregator flow across HyperEVM, Monad, Base, and more.

No points program, Season, or TGE exists. Only signal: a wallet-submission form at metric.xyz “for a chance at early incentives.” Genuinely speculative — watchlist only.

Low-cost footprint: submit your wallet and follow @metricxyz for the public pool launch. If you have already swapped on HyperEVM/Base/Monad, some flow may already route through Metric.

Official X account: x.com/metricxyz

⚠️ No confirmed incentives — wallet submission may amount to nothing. High-volume, low-TVL design can mask real LP risk (inventory exposure, oracle risk, adverse selection). No tokenomics published, so any future airdrop size is pure guesswork. Product could remain gated indefinitely rather than transitioning to public. Watch for unofficial “Metric points” dashboards — only trust announcements directly from @metricxyz. Do not size meaningful capital purely on the hope of a future drop.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

TermMax ($TMX) — TGE August 25

Multi-chain fixed-rate lending protocol on 10 EVM chains with $90M+ TVL, backed by Cumberland DRW and HashKey Capital. Pre-TGE points have ended — this is a claim window, not an active farm.

Check your allocation via the checker and lock in vesting/claim preference (deadline was Aug 23; some appeals may still be open). Binance Alpha lists $TMX first on Aug 25 — 225+ Alpha Points claims ~200 TMX for 15 points, first-come, first-served. Season 1 is live post-TGE but invite-only — activity earns Tico/Ancient Coin convertible to more $TMX.

Official link: leaderboard.termmax.ts.finance/wallet/tutorial/quick-start

⚠️ Claim decisions are final. Only ~20% circulating at TGE — unlock pressure likely. Season 1 requires an invite. Binance Alpha claim consumes points regardless of success. Only use official TermMax and Binance links.

Aligned Layer ($ALIGN) — Claim Live

Aligned is a ZK infrastructure and proof verification/aggregation layer on Ethereum. $ALIGN launched ~August 20, 2026, with the airdrop representing ~8.74% of the 10B supply — claims are open now at airdrop.alignedlayer.com. Pure claim window, not active farming.

Allocations of 10,000 tokens or fewer unlock in full at TGE and are claimable on Base. Larger allocations get 10,000 at TGE, with the remainder vesting linearly over 12 months on Ethereum L1 — claim on the correct network for your size.

infiniFi — TGE Confirmed Q4 2026, Boosted Points Start Tomorrow

infiniFi confirmed Q4 2026 TGE after ~14 months of speculation. Season 1 and Season 2 points already earned have fixed allocations — no dilution. Starting Aug 26, 11am ET, the highest-ever point boost begins from a new fixed-allocation pool, running through TGE.

Track record: 15 months live, $8.75M in returns across 5,000+ depositors, zero security incidents, survived five liquidity shocks (including the Resolv/Morpho fallout) without ever failing same-block redemptions.

Official link: infinifi.xyz/

⚠️ No exact TGE date — Q4 is a quarter-wide window. Conversion ratio to the eventual token not yet published. Standard DeFi yield risk applies.

Arc — Circle’s L1 (Free Optionality, Mainnet September 16)

Arc is Circle’s new Layer 1, the “Economic OS for the internet” — USDC as native gas, sub-second finality, full EVM compatibility. Backed by a $222M presale at $3B FDV led by a16z, with validators including BlackRock, Visa, and Mastercard.

No points program or airdrop mechanism exists. The testnet has been live since October 2025, free via a faucet, but nothing ties activity to a guaranteed reward. Mainnet targets September 16.

The whitepaper allocates 60% of the 10B supply to the ecosystem — a theoretical pool for future rewards, but no snapshot or criteria have been confirmed. Stay lightly active on testnet and be ready for mainnet day one; treat this as free optionality, not an active farm.

Official link: arc.io/

⚠️ No confirmed points program, airdrop mechanism, or retail allocation criteria exists — this is pure speculation based on the ecosystem allocation percentage in the whitepaper. The heavy institutional/TradFi focus of the validator set and design genuinely could mean retail gets a smaller consideration than typical crypto-native L1 launches. Testnet activity carries no guarantee of counting toward anything. Mainnet execution risk remains until September 16 actually happens.

New Opportunities:

Nado — Season 2 Points + Weekly USDT0 (Paid While You Farm)

Nado is a CLOB DEX on Ink (Kraken’s L2) offering spot, perps, and money markets under one unified margin account, built by a team with Kraken and Vertex roots. Dual reward structure: Season 2 points (open access) confirmed to convert into $INK at TGE, plus a weekly cash pool up to $100K USDT0 that scales with volume, split across taker volume (75% weighting), maker activity, and open interest.

Points pool scales too — floor of 300k weekly, capping ~950k in high-volume weeks. One of the few farms here paying real cash weekly while also stacking toward a confirmed token. Genuine double-dip: xStocks used on Nado stacks xPoints on top of Nado’s points and INK path simultaneously.

To farm: prioritize taker volume (heaviest weighting), maintain open interest, consider LP on boosted markets. Claim USDT0 weekly rather than letting it sit. Consistency beats sporadic large sessions.

Official link: app.nado.xyz/points

⚠️ As Season 2’s open access continues attracting more participants, individual point shares will likely dilute over time — earlier consistent activity has an edge over late entry. The exact $INK conversion rate and mechanics from Nado points are still to-be-determined. Standard perp trading and leverage risk applies. Ink L2 carries its own smart-contract and chain-level risk as a newer network.

Variational — Omni Points (Time-Sensitive)

Variational runs an RFQ-based derivatives protocol on Arbitrum: Omni (zero-fee retail perps, 500+ markets, up to 50x) and Pro (institutional OTC). $1.4B+ dual-sided OI and hundreds of billions in lifetime volume. Backed by Bain Capital Crypto and a $50M Series A led by Dragonfly — $61.8M total raised.

Omni Points distributes a fixed ~150,000 points weekly for prior-week trading activity — your share depends on total participant volume, not just yours. Legacy traders get +10%, 30-day volume tiers add up to +5%, referrals earn 1 point per 10 the referee generates.

Program ends by Q3 2026 — roughly 1–1.5 months left. $VAR isn’t live yet, but ~50% of supply is earmarked for community with 30%+ of protocol revenue committed to buyback and burn.

To farm: trade consistently on volume and sustained OI, use a referral code, track tier progress. Zero fees don’t mean zero cost — funding and spread still apply.

Official link: omni.variational.io/points

⚠️ This is time-limited — the program ends by Q3 2026, so late starters get less runway than early participants. The fixed weekly pool means more participants (already 24k+ accounts) directly dilute your share over time. Zero fees don’t mean zero cost — funding rates and spread still apply on real positions. Geo-restrictions apply in various jurisdictions. No token live yet — TGE timing and final allocation mechanics aren’t confirmed.

Solana protocol offering liquidation-resistant leveraged tokens (xSOL/xBTC, 2-4x exposure with no funding fees via delta-neutral design) plus a stablecoin suite. eHYUSD is the standout — a fully delta-neutral, yield-bearing stablecoin that earns yield from every Hylo-leveraged token, currently at ~8.3% APY. Backed by Robot Ventures, Colosseum, and Solana Ventures.

Season 1 XP is live with no fixed end date. Base rates: xSOL/xBTC earn 20 XP per $ per day (highest), hyUSD and hyloSOL+ earn 5 XP, eHYUSD and hyloSOL earn 1 XP. Crowns from leveling up give permanent multipliers, and referrals earn 10% of referee XP plus a 5% boost for the new user. The recent eHYUSD Genesis Boost Event (up to 25% extra XP) has now ended — farming reverts to base rates plus any remaining partner multipliers (Kamino, Exponent, Loopscale, etc., with some rolling over until ~Aug 24).

Track everything at hylo.so

⚠️ Delta-neutral design reduces but does not eliminate risk — leveraged tokens still carry underlying market exposure. No confirmed tokenomics or XP conversion rate; TGE and airdrop remain unannounced. eHYUSD yield is variable. Opportunity cost applies to capital locked in positions for the “capital + time” farming model.

Lighter ($LIT) on Robinhood Chain — New Points Program Live

Lighter, the zk-rollup perps engine now powering Robinhood Chain/Wallet, launched a dedicated points program August 10 for the Robinhood deployment. Points accrue in real time from eligible perps volume, with weekly drops starting ~August 21. Trading through Robinhood Wallet(mobile app) gets a 2x multiplier vs 1x on the standard Lighter web app. Points convert into $LIT from a dedicated ~$11M pool allocated specifically for the Robinhood community.

This is post-TGE incentive farming, not a pre-token program — $LIT already launched December 30, 2025, with Seasons 1 & 2 having already distributed a 25% supply airdrop. Set up a Robinhood Wallet for the 2x multiplier and deposit USDG to trade perps on the Lighter instance.

Some farmers are running hedged strategies (long on Lighter, short elsewhere) to generate points while minimizing directional exposure.

⚠️ Standard perp leverage and liquidation risk applies. Points-to-$LIT conversion rate and pool distribution rules may evolve. Geo-restrictions typical of Robinhood products apply. Hedged multi-venue strategies carry basis risk and added costs. $LIT itself carries normal token price volatility. Genuine volume is prioritized — wash trading and self-dealing are likely filtered.

New Opportunities:

RISEx — Season 1: Ignite Points Live

Next-gen spot and perps DEX on RISE Chain, a high-performance L2 for real-time trading with a fully on-chain order book, backed by Galaxy Ventures with support from Vitalik Buterin and Stani Kulechov. Already processed billions in volume during early access/beta.

Season 1: Ignite distributes 200,000 RISE Points weekly (Tuesdays) — Week 2 saw ~200k across ~5,889 accounts. Weightings change weekly to deter gaming, factoring in volume, fees, open interest hold time, and trading quality rather than pure spam. Referrers earn 10% of the points their referred users earn. Early Season 0 traders already got retroactive points plus ongoing Genesis Pool bonuses.

Track at rise.trade.

⚠️ No token or TGE confirmed — points are explicitly framed as a path toward potential future distribution, nothing guaranteed. Weekly scoring changes mean pure volume farming can underperform if the algorithm favors hold time or fee quality. Standard perp leverage risk. New L2 smart-contract risk. Competition for the fixed weekly pool grows as more users join.

Today’s news summaries are at the end

| Today in DeFi is Supported by DeFi Saver

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Solstice Finance ($SLX) — Season 2 Claim & Vesting Choice

Solana yield layer offering USX (stablecoin) and eUSX (yield-bearing version from delta-neutral strategies), backed by Deus X Capital and Galaxy Digital. Season 2 Flares points have concluded — claims and vesting registration are live now.

You choose between two vesting paths: 6-month (faster unlock, but requires maintaining your Season 2 TVL baseline) or 9-month (no TVL requirement, longer unlock, applied automatically if you don’t choose). Selection window closes around August 18 — miss it and you default to the 9-month plan. Small claim fee (~$1); very small allocations may not be claimable.

Season 3 is already live for anyone who wants to keep earning — same core mechanics through December 1, 2026.

Official link: claim.solstice.finance/flow?season=s2.

⚠️ 6-month vesting can be forfeited if TVL drops below the required baseline — understand the commitment before choosing. Delta-neutral YieldVault strategies carry execution risk despite the “institutional-grade” framing. $SLX price volatility and unlock-related sell pressure apply. Geo-restrictions may exist. Only use official claim.solstice.finance and app.solstice.finance.

Airdrop News/Updates

Saturn Credit ($USDat) — Season 1 Wrapped, Season 2 Live

Digital credit protocol issuing USDat and yield-bearing sUSDat, backed by exposure to Strategy’s STRC. Season 1 Gravity Points concluded (snapshot ~August 8) — final allocations publish this week on the app. 1M+ Gravity holders get a 20% Orbital boost once confirmed.

Season 2 Orbital Points is live, running ~4 months or until $1B TVL. Highest multipliers on Curve LP, Pendle LP/YT, and PancakeSwap active-range LPs — double points currently live on Monad Pendle markets. Check standing at app.saturn.credit.

Official link: app.saturn.credit

⚠️ No token launched — the foundation has only indicated it “may” allocate up to 5% of a future governance token to Gravity participants, contingent on a successful launch that isn’t guaranteed. Yield depends on $STRC/MicroStrategy dividend health. Not available to US or EU/EEA users. Unstaking queues can constrain exit liquidity. Points carry no guaranteed monetary value.

Arc — Circle’s L1, Mainnet September 16

Circle’s institutional L1 uses USDC as native gas with sub-second finality — backed by an exceptional validator lineup (BlackRock, Visa, DTCC, Mastercard) and a $222M presale at $3B FDV led by a16z. Public testnet is live with 100+ builders on private mainnet. Public Mainnet launches September 16.

No open retail points program — this is a heavily institutional-tilted launch. What you can actually do is participate in the testnet for potential future consideration, and claim any available Arc Pass (Founder/Builder Passes, automatically airdropped, claimable until mainnet) before September 16.

Official blog link: https://www.arc.io/pressroom/circle-announces-founding-validator-cohort-and-major-integrations-for-arc-ahead-of-september-16-mainnet-launch

⚠️ Farming surface for retail users is thin given the institutional focus — treat any potential community allocation as speculative and low-probability. Token already had a large private presale (740M tokens at $0.30) — public tokenomics and community distribution details not fully released. Mainnet is still ~5 weeks out with execution risk remaining.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often carry the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocol’s first 3–6 months (we’ve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.
Treat every entry below as capital at risk, not “free points”. Size positions like you could lose them entirely, and never deposit more than you’re fully prepared to write off.

New Opportunities:

Nado — Weekly Cash Rewards + Points on Ink L2

CLOB DEX on Ink (Kraken’s L2) unifying spot, perps, and money markets under one margin account for high capital efficiency, built by a team with Kraken and Vertex Protocol roots.

Two reward streams live simultaneously: a weekly $100K USDT0 cash pool ($50K unlocked from week start, another $50K scaling with platform volume) split proportionally by maker/taker volume and open interest, plus an ongoing Season 2 points program (open access, no invite needed) earned via trading, NLP vault deposits, referrals, and xStocks collateral multipliers.

No native $NADO token confirmed — points are oriented toward the broader Ink ecosystem airdrop. Onboard at app.nado.xyz, bridge to Ink, and focus on maker volume plus maintaining open interest to capture both the cash pool and points efficiently.

Official link: app.nado.xyz

⚠️ ⚠️ Perp trading carries real leverage and liquidation risk. Points-to-token conversion mechanics and size aren’t fully public — this is positioning for a broader Ink ecosystem airdrop, not a confirmed Nado token. Cash pool’s second $50K only unlocks with high platform volume, so individual share can dilute if volume spikes without your participation scaling proportionally. Ink L2 smart-contract risk applies.

Arcus — Confirmed Token, No Details Yet

Self-custodial DEX built by the dYdX Labs team in partnership with Robinhood Crypto, running on Robinhood Chain. Live spot trading of tokenized equities (TSLA, NVDA, etc.) at 0% fees, plus perps up to 50x currently in beta with waitlist rollout. ~$18-20M TVL with real organic volume ($94.5M perps + $40.8M spot in one recent week).

The dYdX Foundation confirmed Arcus will have its own token, separate from $DYDX, with an allocation reserved for the dYdX community. No ticker, supply, or TGE date announced yet.

Position now: trade spot Stock Tokens at app.arcus.xyz (spot volume counts toward perps waitlist rank, backdated), and join the perps waitlist at waitlist.arcus.xyz — ranking factors include prior perps volume (dYdX, Hyperliquid, Lighter), referrals, and linking multiple wallets, including your dYdX v4 wallet.

Official link for waitlist: app.arcus.xyz

⚠️ ⚠️ Token details are completely unknown — size, mechanics, vesting, and TGE date all unconfirmed. Not available in the US, UK, Canada, and other restricted jurisdictions. Perps still gated in beta. Ignore any unofficial “Points Epoch” or “$ARC dashboard” posts — these are scams. Only use official app.arcus.xyz and waitlist.arcus.xyz.

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Cap Labs ($CAP) — Homestead Stabledrop

Cap Labs is a private credit protocol where deposits mint cUSD, stakeable as stcUSD for yield. Homestead points program ended July 23 — no new season planned. This is a claim, not a farm.

Eligible if you held Pendle YT positions without matching PTs and took losses. Claim at stabledrop.caplabslimited.com, open 90 days, closes November 1, 2026. No vesting.

Note: plain cUSD holders and LP providers are generally excluded — check eligibility carefully.

Official link: cap.app

⚠️ Final size was smaller than earlier expectations, and eligibility is narrow. Standard credit protocol risk applies to the underlying platform. Claims close November 1 — don’t miss it.

GRVT ($GRVT) — TGE Complete

Hybrid derivatives exchange on ZKsync, TGE completed July 30. 280M $GRVT airdrop pool (28% of supply). Chosen multiplier plan (1x immediate, 2x/4x deferred) determines release — tranches over 12 months, 30-day claim window each.

Check allocation and claim at grvt.io. Appeals open if you believe there’s an error.

⚠️ Vested over 12 months, not immediately liquid. New token volatility expected. Some community pushback on allocation size.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often carry the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.

Airdrop News/Updates

Apyx ($APYX) — Season 2 Snapshot ~10 Weeks Remaining

Dividend-backed stablecoin protocol issuing apxUSD/apyUSD, collateralized by preferred equity like Strategy’s $STRC(which is also a risk if STRC depegs). Season 2 Pips run until the October 11 snapshot; TGE October 13. 6% of supply allocated this season (11% combined with Season 1). 1 point = 1 point, no changes.

Earn Pips by holding apxUSD/apyUSD, Pendle YT/PT/LP positions (usually highest multipliers), or providing liquidity.

Check current rates at app.apyx.fi/rewards.

⚠️ apxUSD backing depends on $STRC/MicroStrategy dividend health — a prolonged BTC downturn can weaken this and pressure the peg. Yield is variable. Capital is at risk while farming, not free points.

Saturn Credit ($USDat) — Double Points on Monad Pendle

Structured digital credit protocol issuing USDat and yield-bearing sUSDat, backed primarily by Strategy’s $STRC preferred equity(which is also a risk if STRC depegs). Double points live now on the January 14, 2027 USDat/sUSDat Pendle markets on Monad. Gravity Points (Season 1) ends August 8 or at $500M TVL — potential up to 5% governance token allocation if a token launches. Orbital Points (Season 2) starts right after.

Highest multipliers typically on Pendle YT/LP positions (20–38x range). Check current rates in the Gravity/Orbital docs. Not available to US, EEA, or other restricted users.

Official link: app.saturn.credit

⚠️ No token or TGE confirmed — allocation is only potential. Yield depends on $STRC/MicroStrategy dividend health. sUSDat unstaking has a days-long queue. Geo-restricted access.

Tria ($TRIA) — August Summerfest 2x Points

Tria is a self-custodial neo-finance app combining Visa card spending (150+ countries, 130M+ merchants), perp trading via Hyperliquid and Decibel integrations, and yield — all from one cross-chain balance. Backed by $12M in funding with Polygon, Wintermute, and Polychain among participants. $TRIA is already live (TGE February 2026); this is ongoing Season 3 rewards, not a pre-TGE points farm.

Points are earned through real usage: card spend (1–1.5 pts per $1 depending on tier), trading volume, and referrals (10% of eligible activity).
August Summerfest runs through August 31 — 2x points on eligible card spend and trading, plus 2x cashback caps, applied automatically with no opt-in.
Points accumulate toward Mystery Boxes at milestones, opening monthly starting end of August.

Download Tria on Mobile from the link in their X bio

⚠️ Points value is undefined until Mystery Boxes open — no fixed conversion rate. This requires genuine spending or trading activity with associated fees, not passive capital deposit. KYC typically required for card issuance. Standard self-custodial and app smart-contract risk applies. Time-limited campaign ends August 31.

New Opportunities:

Resupply ($RSUP) — Resupply Summer Incentives

Resupply, a subDAO of Convex Finance and Yearn Finance, lets you supply yield-bearing stablecoin collateral (Curve LlamaLend, Fraxlend) to borrow reUSD while collateral keeps earning underlying yield. “Resupply Summer” just launched three new LlamaLend v2 markets — sfrxUSD (Frax), sDOLA (Inverse), syrupUSDC (Maple) — alongside a multi-round Convex rewards campaign (started round 128) to grow TVL and borrowing.

This is post-TGE emissions farming, not a points-to-airdrop play — $RSUP is already live. Supply the new collateral types, borrow reUSD, and earn underlying yield plus RSUP emissions.

Stake RSUP for a share of protocol revenue (paid in reUSD) plus governance power, or deposit reUSD into the Insurance Pool for additional RSUP and revenue share. Check resupply.finance for current rates on the new markets.

Official link: resupply.finance

⚠️ Resupply suffered a ~$9.6M exploit in June 2025 — recovered with treasury and Yearn/Convex support, but the history is real and worth weighing. reUSD carries peg risk despite redemption mechanisms. RSUP has no max supply — ongoing inflation can dilute value over time. Incentive APR is variable and campaign-dependent. Leverage/liquidation risk exists on stable-stable loops even if lower than volatile-asset positions. Small, volatile token market cap means position sizing matters.

Ondo Perps Points Live, Paradex Claim Closing Soon - Airdrop Alpha

Airdrop Claims 🪂:

Paradex ($DIME) — TAP Claim (~1 Week Left)

Zero-fee perps/options/spot DEX with ZK-encrypted trading on its own L2, incubated by Paradigm. TAP claim (1% of $DIME to affiliates/referrals) closes ~August 4 — check app.paradex.trade/referrals/tap if you have referral history. Main genesis airdrop (~25% supply) already distributed in March.

Ongoing — XP Season 3: 4M XP weekly among ~3–4k active wallets, earned via trading volume, OI time, maker activity, and referrals. Zero-fee trading makes it low-friction to farm, but no confirmed token allocation tied to it yet.

Official link: app.paradex.trade

⚠️ TAP claim matters if you have affiliate/referral history — otherwise ignore. Season 3 XP has no confirmed token allocation — currently a loyalty metric with possible future value. $DIME has traded soft since TGE (~$0.01, well below March ATH). Leverage on perps/options carries liquidation risk. Only use official app.paradex.trade.

Lombard Finance ($BARD) — Season 3 Lux Claim

Bitcoin liquid staking protocol backed by Polychain Capital ($16M seed), with Franklin Templeton and OKX also participating. Season 3 Lux Points (18 March – 23 July, now closed) allocated 1% of $BARD supply to active LBTC/BTC.b deployers — passive holding didn’t count this round.

Claims are open now at claim.lombard.finance across Ethereum, Sui, and Solana wallets. Minimum claim reported around 15 $BARD. Unclaimed tokens typically return to the ecosystem fund after ~90 days.

For ongoing yield without waiting for a new season: some products like Bitcoin Earn now pay liquid $BARD rewards every 8 hours via Merkl instead of season-end distributions.

Official link: claim.lombard.finance

⚠️ This is a claim window, not a new farming opportunity — Season 3 is closed to new participants. No Season 4 announced yet. $BARD has seen significant drawdown from ATH (~$0.11–0.13 currently, ~$40M market cap). Bridge and multi-chain smart-contract risk applies across supported networks. Missed claims are permanently lost after ~90 days. Only use the official claim.lombard.finance.

⚠️DISCLAIMER NOTICE⚠️ A note before the next section:

New protocols often carry the most attractive airdrop odds, early TVL, thin points competition, and generous multipliers. But that same immaturity is exactly what makes them risky.
Smart-contract exploits, depegs, insolvent yield strategies, and outright project failure happen disproportionately in a protocol’s first 3–6 months (we’ve seen it play out with Dango and others in this very letter). Nothing here has a multi-year track record.
Treat every entry below as capital-at-risk, not “free points”. Size positions like you could lose them entirely, and never deposit more than you’re fully prepared to write off.

Airdrop Updates & Opportunities

Ondo Perps — Ondo Points Live

Perpetual futures platform for U.S. stocks, ETFs, and commodities with up to 20x leverage, powered by Ondo Finance’s RWA infrastructure. Distinctive feature: tokenized Ondo Stocks (SPYon, QQQon, etc.) can be used as productive collateral for positions. Available to non-US users only.

Ondo Points program is live, managed by the Ondo Foundation — 5M fixed points distributed weekly, weighted by trading volume and open interest. First distribution already occurred based on activity since June 2.

Check your balance at app.ondoperps.xyz/points. On top of points, weekly USDC trading reward pools are running (~$150–175K recently, with allocations to specific markets like GOOGL and TSLA), plus a 10% referral fee share.

Points are a separate Ondo Foundation loyalty mechanism (not a dedicated Perps token) redeemable in periodic claim windows — no fixed conversion rate confirmed. The fixed weekly pool means earlier consistent activity captures a larger relative share before more traders join.

Official link: ondoperps.xyz

⚠️ Standard perp risks apply — 20x leverage on equities/commodities means small adverse moves trigger liquidation quickly. Not available in the US, Panama, or other restricted jurisdictions. Points have no confirmed conversion rate or guaranteed token allocation — value depends entirely on future Foundation claim windows. Platform is relatively new with liquidity still developing versus established perp venues. Treat points as a bonus on top of actual trading P&L, not the primary reason to trade.

SushiSwap Perps ($SUSHI) — Season 1 Ends July 31

Sushi Perps (v2, powered by Hyperliquid) Season 1 points program closes July 31 — only ~3 days left. Points earned from perp trading volume convert proportionally into $SUSHI post-deadline. 8 tiers with multipliers — reaching a higher tier retroactively applies that multiplier to all points earned during the entire season, so a late volume push can still meaningfully boost your total. Early traders retain a lasting multiplier advantage.

Check your current tier and points at sushi.com/perps immediately. If you already trade perps or can run volume without heavy losses, this is the last window to maximize final points and push into a higher tier before the deadline.

⚠️ Extremely short window — not worth starting from zero with large size unless you have a low-cost or profitable strategy already. Perp trading carries leverage and liquidation risk. Exact $SUSHI allocation size for Season 1 hasn’t been detailed publicly beyond “points convert into $SUSHI.” Expect high competition in the final days as volume chases the deadline. Watch @SushiSwap for the official snapshot/claim announcement after July 31.

Urgent — Not an Airdrop, Withdrawal Warning ⚠️

Dango — Project Shutting Down ⚠

No token was ever launched, and the previously teased $DNG TGE (which had a live points program feeding into a rumored ~50% community allocation) will not happen. All points farming is cancelled — nothing converts, nothing claims.

If you have any funds, positions, or vault deposits on Dango, act now:

Close positions and withdraw immediately — don’t wait for the rush.
Trading halts Wednesday, July 29, 12:00 UTC — remaining positions force-close at oracle price, DLP vaults unlock, balances convert to USDC in spot accounts.
Full L1 shutdown is Wednesday, August 13, 12:00 UTC — any deposits still remaining after this get refunded to your original Ethereum deposit address.

Airdrop Claims

GRVT ($GRVT) — TGE Delayed to July 30⚠️

TGE delayed from July 21 to July 30 to allow simultaneous launch across multiple exchanges — listings will be announced as agreements finalize. More exchanges from day one means better liquidity and price discovery, which is generally positive for token holders long-term.

No new action needed if you already chose your vesting option before the July 17 deadline. Just update the date and watch for exchange listing announcements.

⚠️ Another delay is testing community patience — some users are already rotating activity elsewhere. If you chose 1x immediate vesting, your tokens are simply pushed back 9 days. Nothing changes about your allocation or vesting choice.

Airdrop Registrations

Plasma One (XPL) — Core Tier Deadline Tomorrow

Last day to claim the Core tier is July 21. Core gives 3% base cashback + 5% on AI spend, reduced fees, a ChatGPT Go subscription, and priority support — accessible via annual subscription or locking XPL for 12 months, with promotional access available for eligible new users making qualifying deposits.

Claiming Core signals early committed usage, which often matters for retroactive or loyalty-based rewards. Download the Plasma One app, verify your account, and secure the tier before the cutoff.

Official link: plasma.org/download/TRLLNS

⚠️ Deadline is tomorrow — time-sensitive. Higher tiers require locking XPL for 12 months, creating illiquidity. XPL is already distributed and trading — this is a utility/cashback play, not a new airdrop. Cashback value depends on XPL price at redemption.

Airdrop Updates & Opportunities

Hylo (XP Points — Solana)

Hylo is a Solana-based dual-token protocol offering hyUSD (stablecoin backed by SOL LSTs) and xSOL/xBTC (leveraged exposure without liquidation risk). Audited by OtterSec and Accretion Labs with zero critical findings in the V2 audit.

Backed by Robot Ventures, Colosseum, and Solana Ventures. The XP points program runs in seasons with capital × time as the core mechanic — no obvious sybil exploits.

XP rates per dollar per day: xSOL/xBTC earns 20x (highest, prioritize this and enter at the right price), hyUSD and hyloSOL+ earn 5x, eHYUSD and hyloSOL earn 1x.

Crowns earned at tier milestones carry forward as permanent boost multipliers across seasons, compounding for long-term holders. Stack every active boost (currently 5% + 5% + 10% + 5% in private beta) and deploy Hylo assets across partner protocol integrations for extra XP on top.

Official link: hylo.so/leverage

⚠️ No confirmed $HYLO token or airdrop — points are speculative. hyUSD is backed by SOL LSTs meaning a sharp SOL drawdown directly pressures the collateral ratio. xSOL carries up to 4x leverage — absorbs all volatility and amplifies downside in crashes. Novel oracle-free pricing mechanism is untested in severe market stress. Short track record (~1 year). Only use official hylo.so domain.

Markets.xyz — Boosted kPoints

Markets.xyz is Kinetiq’s 24/7 trading frontend on Hyperliquid (US500, QQQ, USTECH with up to 25x leverage) — live for months, not newly launched. kPoints Season 2 distributes 800K weekly (Thursdays, Tuesday snapshots) toward a final snapshot on September 29, distribution October 1.

Earn by staking HYPE → kHYPE → vkHYPE or trading perps on Markets, with boosted kPoints for MKTS listings. Referrals scale 1–15% of fees based on staked KNTQ.

Eligibility note: The genesis KNTQ airdrop required signing Foundation Terms by Nov 21, 2025 — that window is closed and locked some users out, so the next airdrops are probably going to have another limited registration period. Confirm your standing before farming heavily. The kPoints formula is kept deliberately private.

Download on mobile and farm: https://markets.xyz/mobile-app

⚠️ Incremental multiplier, not a standalone airdrop — only worthwhile if you’re already trading these markets. Perp trading carries liquidation risk. kPoints value is unconfirmed until any Kinetiq token event.

⚠️ This is a distribution event, not a new farming opportunity. Unclaimed rewards after October 8 revert to the community treasury. Only eligible if you averaged ≥50 JUP staked during Q2. Only use the official jup.ag/rewards/asr-2026-q2 link.

Airdrop Registrations:

GRVT ($GRVT) — Airdrop Registration Live

GRVT airdrop registration is live at grvt.io/exchange/reward-portal — connect your wallet and choose your vesting option before July 17, 2026. Three options available:

1x — Full allocation at TGE (July 21), immediate liquidity
2x — Double allocation, locked 4 months (~November 2026)
4x — Quadruple allocation, locked 8 months (~March 2027)

Higher multipliers only make sense if you’re strongly convicted on GRVT long-term and comfortable with the lockup duration.

Official link: app.grass.io/dashboard

⚠️ July 17 deadline is hard — missing it likely defaults you to the base option. TGE dumps are common on new token launches; the 4x multiplier means nothing if the token drops 75%+ post-launch. Locked positions carry full price volatility risk during the vesting period. Only use the official grvt.io/exchange/reward-portal.

Airdrop Updates & Opportunities

Lighter ($LIT) — Robinhood Chain Integration

Lighter is a ZK-rollup perps DEX now live on Robinhood Chain as the first “Lighter Domain” — a dedicated instance with custom execution, sequencing, and liquidity tailored to the Robinhood ecosystem. Robinhood Wallet users can now trade perpetuals and Stock Tokens directly through this integration using USDG as the quote asset. Robinhood invested in Lighter and routes perps through this integration, giving it strong retail distribution from day one.

The farming angle is concrete: Lighter committed $11M in $LIT to the Robinhood community pool, with points converting directly to $LIT.

Trade via Robinhood Wallet for a 2x points multiplier (vs 1x on the native web app) — focus on volume in perps and tokenized stock markets. This stacks well with broader Robinhood Chain activity alongside Arcus and Meridian, building on-chain history across the entire new ecosystem simultaneously.

Official link: robinhoodchain.lighter.xyz/trade/LIT

⚠️ Jurisdiction restrictions apply — not available everywhere, similar to other perps platforms. New chain instance means liquidity and spread depth are still building. Lighter has historically filtered wash trading and sybils in past points programs — keep activity organic. Leverage trading carries liquidation and funding rate risk. Exact points-to-$LIT conversion rates and timelines depend on Lighter’s terms.

Airdrop Claims

GRVT ($GRVT) — TGE Confirmed July 21

$GRVT TGE is officially set for July 21, 2026 — roughly 2 weeks away. Season 2 allocation sits at 18% of the 1B fixed supply (up from 12% in Season 1). Expect claim details, vesting schedule, and allocation announcements in the coming days.

With TGE this close, the final Season 2 push is still worth it for anyone already positioned: trade volume, hold open interest, provide liquidity, and use referrals. Boosted markets: TradFi pairs at 3x, alts at 2x. Delta-neutral approach (hold OI on GRVT, hedge elsewhere) remains popular for collecting funding payments plus points with minimal directional risk.

⚠️ TGE is imminent — last chance to accumulate Season 2 points before snapshot locks. Claim mechanics and vesting schedule not yet announced. $GRVT is a membership/utility token with buybacks rather than direct yield — value depends on platform adoption post-launch.

Airdrop Checkers

Grass Stage 2 — USDC Checker Live

Grass Stage 2 rewards checker is now live at app.grass.io/dashboard/allocation — payouts are in USDC (not $GRASS token), with claims opening July 22. Check your allocation now before the claim window opens.

Community reaction is negative — most users are reporting very small allocations ($31, under $1, or even $0) after months of running nodes.

Official link: https://app.grass.io/

⚠️ Stage 2 appears to be a final small payout rather than a meaningful reward. No clear Stage 3 or ongoing major opportunity indicated. Claims open July 22 — check your allocation now but manage expectations significantly.

Airdrop Updates & Opportunities

Arcus (rebranded from dYdX Labs)

Arcus is a new DEX built by the dYdX Labs team in partnership with Robinhood Crypto, launching on Robinhood Chain (Arbitrum Orbit L2). Core product: 24/7 spot trading of 95 tokenized stock tokens (equities, commodities, indices, crypto) with 0% fees, plus perpetual futures up to 50x leverage on stock tokens currently in beta. Deep institutional liquidity from Robinhood and top market makers. The original dYdX Chain continues operating separately — Arcus is a new project by the same team.

No $ARCUS token yet, but dYdX founder Antonio Juliano confirmed a portion of future Arcus tokens will be allocated to the dYdX community, with priority for users who previously traded, staked, validated, or built on dYdX.

Best current positioning: join the perps waitlist immediately at waitlist.arcus.xyz — position is determined by past on-chain perps volume (dYdX, Hyperliquid, Lighter, etc., with RWA volume as a bonus) and referrals of validated traders. Multiple wallets can be connected to aggregate history.

Official link: https://arcus.xyz/

⚠️ Strong community backlash from $DYDX holders who feel the team is abandoning the original protocol — $DYDX dropped sharply on the news. Tokenized stocks carry regulatory and securities risk; restricted in US, Canada, UK, and other jurisdictions. No confirmed tokenomics, vesting, or airdrop details yet. No official points program — third-party airdrop guides are speculative. New chain risk on Robinhood Chain.

Meridian (formerly The Prediction Markets on Ethereal) — Robinhood Chain Launch

Meridian has rebranded from Prediction Markets on Ethereal and launched on Robinhood Chain as a day-one partner. If you had funds in the old Prediction account, migrate immediately at app.ethereal.trade/prediction — perps balances don’t need migration yet. Fee-free prediction trading is now live, and a $5,000 prize pool runs for combo traders (predictions + perps) until July 15.

Early activity on Robinhood Chain projects is worth tracking — day-one users on new chains have historically been well-positioned for ecosystem incentives when points or reward programs launch.

Official link: https://app.meridian.xyz/predict

⚠️ Prize pool ends July 15 — tight window. Migrate Prediction funds immediately to avoid any access issues. Robinhood Chain is still new with evolving smart-contract risk. No confirmed points or airdrop program yet — early activity is speculative positioning only.

Grove Finance ($GROVE) — Token Distribution Live

$GROVE token distribution is now live — supply USDS on sky.money to start accruing GROVE rewards automatically, on top of the normal Sky Savings Rate.

A large portion of GROVE held by Sky is being distributed to USDS suppliers on a multi-year schedule, with the heaviest allocations front-loaded in the first two years. Remaining GROVE after that is reserved for future rewards decided by Sky Governance.

Go to sky, supply USDS, and GROVE accrues automatically. No complex loops, no points conversion — direct token rewards.

Official link: app.sky.money/?network=ethereum

⚠️ Future reward amounts beyond the initial schedule depend on Sky Governance decisions. Token liquidity and price discovery are still early. Opportunity cost applies — USDS could be deployed elsewhere for potentially higher yields.
