Airdrop Claims 🪂:

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

Image

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.

  • 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.


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.

Airdrop News/Updates &

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

Image

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.

⚠️ 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.
