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.
