The smartest airdrop hunters are stacking modular airdrops instead of chasing points.

Hating on L2s is the biggest mistake most would make, as they are ignoring the stacking opportunity with other tokenless infra projects.

I’m predicting that most of these projects will follow a similar airdrop distribution like PYTH as I shared in my main strategy.

In this mega-post, I’ll cut through the noise and share which infra components to focus on to start identifying these stacking opportunities.

And if you’re too lazy to find them all, I’ll share my top picks at the end too:


Modular infra projects

These are the infra projects that I’m monitoring.

Some have already TGE-ed but it’s still possible to get future airdrops from ecosystem partners (just like active LayerZero users for the Initia airdrop).

I’ve included links to all of these projects, where the best resource would be their ecosystem page (but I linked to the main page for those without any ecosystem pages):

Modular rollups and projects I’m targeting

These are my list of 9+ best rollups and projects to target and how I’m interacting with them (constantly updated):


Katana (4-in-1)

Here’s what we could be exposed to by interacting with Katana:

  1. Katana itself (KAT drop)

  2. Agglayer (rollup framework)

  3. Succinct (ZK proving)

  4. Conduit (RaaS)

How I’m interacting

Katana’s mainnet was just launched, and I bridged some funds over.

I plan to use both the Arbitrum and ZKsync playbook here:

  • Interact with as many smart contracts as possible

  • Deposit funds into protocols to boost my TWAB

TWAB is being used for Katana krates, and I won’t be surprised if they use it as a criterion for being an active ecosystem participant.

(Just like I shared in my ZKsync breakdown here).

Apart from the mainnet, I deposited some BTC and LBTC on Turtle’s Katana vaults:


Hibachi (3-in-1)

Not a rollup, but this perp DEX gives me exposure to:

  • Succinct

  • Celestia

  • Hibachi itself

How I’m interacting

I’m not an active trader, but I’m pushing some trades here and there to generate volume.

It still seems pretty underfarmed as it gets less hype than other perp DEXes in the space.

TP/SL is finally live so I’ll use that for small trades.

Feel free to use my referral.
