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.
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 &
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.
