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.
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 &
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.
