Knowing how to ignore 90% of airdrops is a superpower.

There are more opportunities than you’ll ever have time for, so it’s time to choose wisely.

Here are the ones that I’ve identified as having the highest potential for a good return:


Pendle YTs

Falcon Finance gave some returns, though it’s not fantastic.

I’m still holding some YTs for point systems, and will see how they turn out.

This includes:

  • pUSDe (Strata)

  • sUSDai

  • Almanak (alUSD)

  • Cap Money (stcUSD)

  • vkHYPE (Kinetiq + Veda)

My main aim is to cover the cost of my initial capital with these YTs, and I’m focusing on YTs with an underlying APY to get back some capital.

I shared my guide here on how YTs work.


The perp DEX meta

There are so many perp DEXes in this new war for dominance, but I’m not grinding hard because I’m a bad trader.

I’m still exploring how to perform a delta-neutral strategy, but these are the perp DEXes that I’m doing now:

  • Pacifica (Solana)

Possibly the newest DEX here, so it’s good to be early.

I still have some codes, feel free to DM me if you need one.

  • Lighter

0 fees are great here, but I have not made significant volume. Points are hard to get, so I’m fine with my 2+ points that I’ve earned so far

  • Hyperliquid (Builder Codes)

The 2-in-1 stacking opportunity for Hyperliquid S2 and other tokenless builders that build on top of them.

I’m making some trades on Based even when the fees are higher to get extra exposure to another protocol.

I shared my strategy for Builder Codes here.

  • Hibachi

Still feels underfarmed compared to other perp DEXes, I’m just pushing some volume since pre-season is over.

Not many are active here, so hopefully the points will give a decent return.

  • Extended and Variational (not extremely active)

I have accounts on both, but have barely pushed any volume.
