New Gift Mechanics in Telegram

I couldn’t skip writing about gift crafting, since I’ve already made a detailed post on this topic. Yes, my enthusiasm has faded a bit over time, but there’s still money to be made here. In this post, we’ll go through everything step by step.

Today at 13:30(GMT+2), crafting became available for two gifts 🎁 Calendar (57 new models) and 🎁 Jingle Bells (51 new model). This wasn’t a surprise: the information had been available for a while, and I already mentioned it in the life channel. Calendars and bells on a black background have been actively bought for over a week, which caused the floor price to rise literally before our eyes. I believe that regular models may also increase in value, thanks to users who want to try their luck in crafting.

The update is aimed at reducing supply and increasing demand, a logical and expected step that was long overdue. These are not the last gifts with crafting: some models have a supply of 250–500k. Most likely, over time, crafting will be added to the rest as well.

How to Make Money on This? 👀
• Buy the cheapest gifts that are already craftable
• Hunt for rare backgrounds, such as Black or Onyx Black
• Watch the drops to see which gift will be crafted next and act according to the points above (carefully — fakes are very common)
• You can resell gifts or hold them in anticipation of a price increase

How Crafting Works?👀
• Crafting is currently free
• You can add 1 to 4 gifts to a craft
• The first gift in the craft determines the ID of the resulting gift
• The fewer gifts you use, the higher the risk of losing everything (even 4 gifts don’t guarantee 100% success)
• The background is random, but if you use 4 gifts with the same background, for example black, the resulting gift will also have that background
• In the crafting section, you can see all available models and their rarity: Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary
• After crafting, the Craft New Gift button appears for quickly creating a new gift
• Gifts that have already been crafted cannot be used again
Important: This information is based on public sources and observations. There is no official documentation for crafting yet, so some details may change.

Claiming the tiny HeyElsa(@HeyElsaAI ) airdrop

Unfortunately, this is yet another project that screwed over the community and basically killed itself. The airdrop is extremely small, and the distribution makes little sense. That’s a shame, because the project looked interesting, but like many other dead projects, they decided to allocate most of the tokens to exchange promotions on platforms like Bybit and Binance Alpha.

In my opinion, this is one of the dumbest marketing moves possible: you get a short-term pump followed by a complete dump. It is what it is. Just another failed case.

Tokenomics:
• Total supply: 1B $ELSA
• Team - 7.00% | 12 month cliff + 24 month linear
• Foundation - 34.49% | 20% at TGE + 10 month cliff + 24 month linear
• Community (Airdrops + Incentives) - 40.00% | 20% at TGE + 48 month linear (🤡😂)
• Investors - 10.51% | 12 month cliff + 24 month linear
• Liquidity - 8.00% | 100% at TGE

What do we do? 👀
• Go to the website
• Claim the airdrop
• You can sell on Bybit, MEXC, KuCoin, or any DEX (I’m not selling since the amount is laughable and almost no one has tokens. Maybe it gets a small pump, or maybe it goes straight to zero. Up to you.)

Registering for the HeyElsa(@HeyElsaAI ) Airdrop

I’ve mentioned this project more than once. A few hours ago, they announced the airdrop registration in their Discord channel.
There, we can specify the wallet that will receive the airdrop, for example if you previously used a Solana wallet, since their token will be on the Base network.

If you entered something incorrectly, don’t worry, the address can be changed. The duration of this period has not been announced, but I wouldn’t postpone it.

What do we do? 👀
• Go to the website, Register tab
• Enter your wallet address (EVM)
• Wait for the tokenomics and the $ELSA token distribution (if you are eligible)

@beamnxw @Polymarket Yeah, that’s true. Most of the earnings come from insider info, while regular users just provide the liquidity.

[CAS @cas0alpha]

Gambling, Earnings, Deception. Yes, you got it right. Today we’re talking about Polymarket

Today we’ll discuss what is probably the largest betting platform in Web3. I’ll break down the project itself, investments, the team, statistics, opportunities, and what’s happening around Polymarket overall. Enjoy the read. I hope you’ll find something useful and interesting here.

Polymarket(@Polymarket )
Is a decentralized prediction market platform that allows users to speculate and place bets on the outcomes of real future events such as politics, sports, economics, culture, and more using USDC. The platform runs on the Polygon blockchain.
Deposits can be made from most blockchains via an automatic bridge. The project also has an active Twitter account, currently ranked 702 by Twitterscore.
Twitterscore → https://t.co/QvcGsOekS8

How it works:
If you believe an event will happen, you buy YES shares.If you think it won’t, you buy NO shares.
The price of a share ranges from $0.00 to $1.00 USDC and effectively represents probability:
• A price of $0.70 means the market assigns a 70 percent chance to “yes”.
• If you predict the outcome correctly, the share settles at $1 and you make a profit.
• If you’re wrong, the share drops to $0.

Investment:
The project has raised around $2.28B, which is an extremely large amount, especially for a Web3 product. Funding came from major players such as Polychain, Blockchain Capital, Coinbase, Dragonfly, as well as Vitalik Buterin and others. More details are available on CryptoRank. The project’s valuation reaches up to $9B.
CryptoRank → https://t.co/auLSmkKqGB

Team:
• Shayne Coplan(@shayne_coplan ) (CEO and Founder). Founded Polymarket in 2020. The main driver behind growth and strategy. Known for turning a niche crypto product into the largest prediction market, while constantly operating on the edge of regulatory risk.
• Matthew Modabber(@MatthewModabber ) (CMO). Responsible for marketing and user growth. Focuses on media presence, expanding beyond political markets, partnerships, and long-term engagement.
• J. Christopher Giancarlo(@giancarloMKTS ) (Advisor). Former Chairman of the CFTC. Provides regulatory expertise and helps legitimize Polymarket in the eyes of traditional finance and regulators.
• Nate Silver(@NateSilver538 ) (Advisor). A well-known analyst and forecasting expert. Adds intellectual credibility and media trust to the project.
• Development team. Experienced Web3 engineers working with DeFi, smart contracts, and scaling, along with developers from Web2 startups and fintech. Most names are not public due to regulatory pressure.

Statistics:
To put things into perspective, the platform has around 500,000 monthly active wallets and over 80,000 daily. What’s interesting is that only about 30 percent of Polymarket’s 1,730,000 trading addresses are actually profitable. Almost all profits are concentrated in a very small group:
• Just 0.04 percent of addresses account for over 70 percent of total profits, or $3.7B.
• Most profitable users earn very little. About 25 percent of them made $1,000 or less.
• To rank in the top 350,000 to 400,000 of the all-time leaderboard, earning just $1 in profit is enough.
• More detailed stats can be found on Dune.

Dune → https://t.co/a30x6RA90X

Opportunities:
Although the project isn’t new and was launched in 2020, its main hype wave came quite recently. I believe it’s still not too late to approach it from an anti-FOMO angle or use it as a liquid market for arbitrage against similar platforms such as Opinion(@opinionlabsxyz ), https://t.co/3KIzasD6rZ(@predictdotfun ), Limitless(@trylimitless ), and others.
Now let’s talk about working with the project more deliberately.
The team has repeatedly hinted at launching their own token called $POLY and running an airdrop.
Due to the nature of the platform, it’s hard to predict exactly what criteria the airdrop will be based on. Likely factors include betting volume, number of active days, and activity quality. The simplest approach is to steadily build these metrics. Creating and promoting your own referral link can also be a solid bonus.
Personally, I treat the platform as calculated gambling with a long-term bet on a potential airdrop. The most I do is place bets on esports or crypto-related events. At the same time, there have been enthusiasts who made money using bots or exploiting platform loopholes, though those methods come with their own issues, which we’ll discuss next.
*Arbitrage is a strategy of extracting profit from price differences of the same asset across different markets or platforms.

Problems:
• The project faces issues not only with regulators, but also with rule changes that favor the platform itself. One recent case involved a bet on a U.S. invasion of Venezuela, where payouts were denied. Polymarket argued that the capture of President Nicolás Maduro does not qualify as a full-scale invasion. According to the rules, the bet would only resolve as “yes” in the case of a military operation aimed at establishing control. At the same time, the platform is expected to pay out $436,000 to an unknown user who bet $30,000 on Maduro being captured and removed from Venezuela by January 31, 2026.
Unknown Bet Page → https://t.co/GlHoMdXqiZ
• Another case involved a bot that earned $480,000 using temporal arbitrage by exploiting inefficiencies within the platform. After that, Polymarket introduced fees specifically for 15-minute crypto markets, effectively shutting the bot down.
Bot Page → https://t.co/OWf6M8v6pr

Conclusion:
The cases described above are not unique and will likely happen again. At the same time, the bot example shows that it’s possible to make money even under unconventional conditions. The potential launch of a token and an airdrop makes Polymarket an interesting platform to experiment with, especially amid fresh hype and growing activity.
Whether to use this platform or similar ones, or simply stay away, is a personal choice. This niche may become a long-term pillar of crypto, in which case understanding it early makes sense. Or the current attention could turn out to be just another temporary spike.

New Year’s post as a tradition 🎄

And just like that, another year has flown by, it’s hard to believe how fast time moves. This year brought many opportunities to earn and probably even more opportunities to lose. The last quarter of the year turned out to be especially difficult for me. But judging by what I see around me, many people are going through dark times right now. I hope they end soon and a streak of success begins again.

I don’t want to dwell on the negative, so I’ll keep it short and simply wish you success, an easy path, and a year full of green days only. Most importantly, I wish health to you and your loved ones, as well as peace and calm. For now, take a break from earning and spend this time enjoying yourself.

In the new year, there will be more and higher-quality content from me, or at least I want to believe so 😅. And a special thank you to everyone who supports my posts, likes them, and leaves comments, it truly means a lot to me.

Once again, Happy New Year to everyone 🍊

@base Happy holidays 🎄🟦

Many people have seen it, but not many know about Base App

Today, I’d like to highlight an application from the project we all love Base( @base ). We’ll talk about what it is, why it exists, what you can do with it, and its future prospects. I recommend reading this post, as the project has quite promising potential.

Base App( @baseapp )
The app is positioned as a universal platform that seamlessly combines wallet functionality, trading, payments, social networking, messaging, and mini-apps within a single interface. All of this runs on Base a public Ethereum-based blockchain developed by Coinbase.
Base App is designed to bring together a wide range of features in one ecosystem. It integrates wallet management, cryptocurrency trading, and payment capabilities with social features, messaging, and access to mini-apps. The app was previously known as Coinbase Wallet.

First Steps
So, what can we do right now in hopes of rewards or even a $BASE airdrop? I’d recommend being as active as possible: posting content, leaving comments, and trading tokens within the app.

What to do:👀
• Install Base App on your phone
• Create or import a Farcaster account
• Connect your social networks to your profile
• Set up and complete your profile

It also helps to participate in promo activities. For example, the “Holiday Rewards” campaign, launched on December 17 and ending on December 21. You can find it under the Notifications tab.

Next, complete the following steps in order:
• Verify your Coinbase, X (Twitter), or other supported accounts
• Have a minimum $5 balance in Base App
• Perform at least $1 in trading (buy / sell / convert)
* For full details, you can check the official rules of the promotion.

Summary
Some interesting points: the app was previously available only via whitelist, then by invitation, and now anyone can access it. The project’s CEO has repeatedly stated that if a token is released, all user activity will be considered, making now the perfect time to start.

I’d appreciate it if you used my referral link for Base App:

(or you can access it directly).

The New Year is just around the corner, so don’t forget about rest. Spend this time in a way that brings you joy 🎄

Update on the Jupiter sale - $WET

Last time, the public phase was taken by bots, so the team decided to reissue the token and run the sale again. Those who bought tokens in phases 1 and 2 will receive an updated token with a bonus to their wallet. Overall, the team handled this very smartly, and it’s great to see that they pay attention to community feedback.

What do we do? 👀
If you still want to try getting into the sale, nothing has changed since the last post: you need any Solana wallet (I’ll be using Backpack), top up USDC (the limit was reduced from $1000 to $500), and also have some SOL to cover fees (I deposited $10).

About the price: It fluctuates around $0.14–0.16, and it will naturally drop after the sale. But you can always hedge your allocation on Bybit or MEXC.
