The average millionaire has 7 streams of income (according to the IRS).
Sadly, 99% of people only have 1.
So here are 7 income streams that can make you wealthy:
7. ATMs
Most people struggle with money, but the real reason might shock you.
The poor stay trapped by a system designed to fail them.
The rich hold secrets they never share.
After 7 years studying self-made millionaires, I uncovered 10 lessons to transform your wealth:
This man changed the game:
Mark Sisson.
This 70-year-old defies aging by combining evolutionary biology and modern biohacking methods.
Here’s his blueprint for staying young forever:
It seems that zkSync is leaning towards adopting a "Point-System," similar to the famous "Arbitrum-Style" Airdrop, but with a twist. 🪂
This system will likely involve a more extensive set of rules or "points," potentially incorporating up to 100s or more data points, a significant increase from Arbitrum's 18 or Optimism's 6.
This indicates that active users can anticipate to receive a notably larger portion of the pie compared to "farmers" managing hundreds of wallets aiming to just hit the min requirements.
In essence, it is highly likely that most, if not all, participants will qualify for the airdrop, with the differing factor being the amount they receive.

After extensive research, I have compiled a list of data points with very high potential that are expected to be included in zkSync's upcoming "Arbitrum-Style Airdrop."
Before we dive in, grab a notepad OR a piece of paper, and a pen and keep track of how many of these "points" you managed to hit, and share your results in the comments later below!
Everyone "◽️" = 1 point.

Updated List of most of the Airdrops I’m still farming to this day - with some commentary
Activity/TX-based
--- L2s ---
▫️ Scroll
Weekly TXs across different dApps. Goal is to utilize at least 20+ diff dApps and + $100K Volume until Airdrop. Team is listening to feedback in ADVANCE and Vitalik is bullish. Feeling good about this one, even if very popular and 'overfarmed'
▫️ Liquidswap/Pontem/Lumio
Bridged ETH into Lumio and got the 4 badges. Main task now consists of swapping 2-3 a week on Liquidswap, and providing some liquidity. Good Aptos exposure play while team is listening to community feedback.
▫️ Orderly (+ LogX)
Pushing at least $300k weekly volume. Not recommended if you play with a small stack. I'm just doing it because there's an 'end in sight' and a pick-and-shovel play on perp DEXs is interesting.
Shrimps can combine it with Galxe Quests for bonus points
▫️ Zora
2-3 mints a month. Important to also create your own collection and have people mint it. $ENJOY Airdrop paid for all fees by tenfold.
▫️ zkSync
Mainly just using ZyFi on zkSync, with a little bit of Syncswap and Bebop. Just keeping my footprint up, and fees are dirt-cheap.
▫️ Linea
TX milking seems to be over. I just LP a couple hundred $ for Linea Surge. Sunken cost fallacy (might as well go all the way)
--- Interoperability ---
▫️ Hyperlane
Current highest conviction play in the interop sector. But so was LZ, so take this with a large grain of salt
I like their modular angle + customizable security. Can connect to ANY EVM or Cosmos chain at this very moment and has cheaper fees/is faster - giving it an edge over higher funded competitors
Interoperability projects are technically a pick-and-shovel play across all L1/L2/L3/L69s, but the market doesn't seem to value them as such (yet)
What matters the most is likely using their flagship bridge: https://t.co/lAC77qF5L5
▫️ Jumper
Hitting 10 Chains every month, and trying to use it whenever I swap tokens. Good PMF, good funding, good dApp. Has over 1M wallets though = overfarmed
▫️ Bungee (+Zapper)
Similar to Jumper, bit less comprehensive. They're building a ton of stuff (not a meme, look up Socket Twitter). Zapper hinted at token today; still using it as it's also powered by Socket
▫️ Mayan
Wormhole still has an allocation reserved for Airdrop #2. Mayan is a great EVM <> Solana bridge. No need to overcomplicate it
▫️ Squidrouter
Raised a substantial amount and is somewhat flying under-the-radar. I like to use it to bridge into/from Scroll and Base. Using it less than other interop projects
▫️ deBridge
When you farm deBridge, you farm an ICO. Burn to-earn airdrops have yet to disappoint, so I might as well participate to a certain extent (no need to go too ham)
▫️ Orbiter
Milking for years. Honestly think Orbiter has great PMF because of smooth UI/UX. Whenever I'm lazy, I just use Orbiter because it's simple, reliable, and fast. Bearish on their airdrop, but you never know
--- Lower-ranked Interoperability ---
▫️ ZetaChain #2
Lower ranked bc they already airdropped once. Very cheap to get Weekly XP and somewhat fun, so why not
▫️ Magpie
'April TGE' didn't hold true = bearish. Still pushing some txs, as it qualified me for Wormhole. Jump in seed, but Jump is in 500 projects anyway
▫️ Rango
'Profile' tab doesn't work properly = bearish. Not sure if they even track activity. Very mild usage from my side. Plus point: Available on a lot of chains = increasing unique dApp usage (e.g. for Scroll)
▫️ Zerion
Raised $22M. I bought one of the cheapest NFTs and now just swap and bridge 1x per month. Too expensive as they take a 0.725% fee. Should probably use their wallet and other products too if you're serious about qualifying. Maybe they replicate MM and just never launch a token
--- Solana ---
▫️ Tensor Szn #4
Farmed it since early 2023, absolutely insane airdrop. Will likely deliver again, BUT NFT trading is very PVP. Not recommended for someone not well-versed in that particular bracket (easy to lose all your $)
▫️ PhoenixTrade
1 Limit trade every second day, on literally 1 wallet. Have done the same for Drift, and it paid off IMMENSELY. Solana Airdrops = gud
▫️ Backpack Exchange
2-3 trades per day, just swapping Memecoins. Backpack has deep connections, and you always get your fees back on eco airdrops to BP (Wormhole, Pyth, Tensor, etc)
--- Liquidity-based---
▫️ Sanctum + Meteora
Good 2-in-1 play. No Jito replication, but if you have size, very comfy farm with Solana price exposure. Meteora has Jupiter team members overlap.
▫️ Elixir
Bullish on perp pick-and-shovel plays. Pairs net decent yield (15-20%) with BTC/ETH exposure
▫️ Ambient (mainly on Scroll)
Lots of building ongoing (not a meme). It's comfy because it's on Scroll, maybe some kind of Berachain angle too
▫️ Zircuit
Was initially very bullish because L2, then I realized everyone is building an L2 nowadays. Still decent to get: Zircuit, Eigen #2, LRT of choice, ETH exposure (lol) + yield
▫️ MarginFi
They took too long to launch their token, so the market won't be generous. I'm still in it because I'm too lazy to pay back my loans and withdraw. Kamino replication is MUCH more likely than Jito.
Plus point: If you deposit INF, you qualify for 3 airdrops in 1
This is getting too long, so here's a couple more I'm in without commentary (small positions): Swell L2, Blackwing, Mitosis (I like this one, need to increase size), Gravita, Nostra, StackingDAO, Bitflow
--- Main Focus ---
Scroll, Hyperlane, Jumper, Liquidswap, Tensor, Elixir, Sanctum + Meteora, Zircuit for a 4-in-1 Lego, maybe Bungee.
Would also add Ambient but it will be disappointing for most because it's linear
A lot of the airdrops I'm farming will inevitably:
• End up worth dust due to bad execution / no PMF
• Airdrop years out, also known as 'time rugging' you
But a bunch of them will also:
• Turn out a lot more lucrative than you'd expect (akin to Jito, Wormhole, Manta Galxe)
• Indirectly qualify you for other airdrops (result: Avail, zkFair, Celestia)
Having high conviction in a single airdrop essentially means you are placing your entire faith in ONE project/founder, relying on them to execute properly coupled with a TON of additional variables (hoping to be in their grace)
It’s why a spray-and-pray approached has worked best for me – ‘consistently’ making a couple thousands here and there, until it eventually amounts to a sizeable stack and reaches critical mass
The result of it is that you can now focus harder on a handful of projects (whether through more transactions or liquidity), while STILL keeping your footprint up on your 'spray-and-pray' basket
Study the term 'Airdrop Snowball' - the TradFi equivalent would be called 'Compound Interest'
While it's true that Memecoins vastly outclassed airdrop proceeds, there's still no better way for someone that starts with a couple hundred $ to get capitalized; especially on a risk-adjusted return basis
The correct way to approach it was:
• Immediately start airdrop farming post-Arbitrum, upon realization that this particular niche is still highly inefficient
• Qualify for a couple hundred thousand worth of airdrop proceeds
• Keep airdrop farming, while shoveling some of it into Memecoins - put on 'the big long'
Not to pad my own back, but I tweeted about this particular strategy a bunch of times (k it is in fact a brag)
https://t.co/KTtnc6sg5R
This doesn't signify it's over for Airdrops even if you haven't been capitalized yet. It just means it has become INCREDIBLY more saturated and competitive, with a lot of turds along the way resulting in 'dust-drops', and teams taking advantage of airdrop mania
The market has simply become more efficient and the edge has been slimmed down in this particular niche, resulting in a lower ROI, so to speak
