Strategy for 2026: Airdrop-First
Core thesis:
Most liquid crypto assets are structurally uninvestable on a risk-adjusted basis. In contrast, airdrop farming remains the highest risk-to-reward activity in crypto: limited, controllable downside (fees, opportunity cost) with convex upside if a protocol succeeds. The largest realized returns of recent cycles came from airdrops (e.g., Hyperliquid, Lighter, prior L2 waves).
The strategy is therefore capital preservation + optionality: deploy capital where activity is already economically rational (trading, lending, LP, real usage) while accumulating points, units, or reputation that convert into tokens.
1) Hyperliquid S3 - https://t.co/IzeLi93hJJ Can farm HIP-3 protocols/unit for hyperliquid spot. Start before they annouce S3
2) @BasedOneX : https://t.co/hEB4aQhDWM The everything app, i see this as a platform to farm 1) HL and HIP3 protocols 2) $Based airdrop 3) Polymarket airdrop
3) @ostium : https://t.co/1gIPgarR98 RWA perps exposure, very underfarmed
4) @felixprotocol (lending/HIP-3/RWA) : https://t.co/dqpOupOFDJ I think the strongest project on hypeEVM
5) @variational_io - code: OMNI9XRTHMN2
Most hyped perp dex after lighter TGE, no reason to fade it, just like there was no reason to fade lighter after hyperliquid.
6) Base/@tryfomo: code 99xrocket
Social trading and base airdrop - think this concept is unique and in the long-shot this might workout. Just doing my on-chain trading there, doing some organic volume
Will look back in 2027 to see if any of these paid off.
I want to start farming variational but Variational has run for 1.5 years and will only airdrop at around the 2 year mark?
Points pretty diluted, but on the flip side it probably TGE this year and might be the biggest TGE of the year.

Crypto market is so brutal. The infinite money glitch seems to be scaling into a basket of shorts on high FDV token. I’m always too quick to take profit on my shorts.
The ZEC pump was indeed the most engineered coordinated bs shill I have ever seen, so literally every guy in the industry discovered ZEC as the second coming of christ in privacy after it sat bleeding for 3 years when it was literally the same coin as before nothing changed fundamentally
And they all conveniently ignored XMR?
