So this is what I'm doing right now for airdrops:
1. Perps
- Variational (stacked 4 digit points)
- Bulk Trade (parked stables there, nothing to do right now)
- Positioned for @arcus_xyz and waiting for the perp + points program (still doing a few spot transactions since spot is live)
- Besides that, I'm hedging and taking some real trades on other perp DEXs as well for small monies but my main focus is Variational.
2. Prediction Markets
IMO, we'll see a Hyperliquid level opportunity (not the same, but to some extent) from the prediction market sector, so I'm actively using Polymarket on chain.
If you're using it too, don't forget to post your trades and market analysis on X (this will give edge)
I'm also trying to make money while using the platform (cricket trading, crypto market trades, different strategies, etc.).
Apart from that, I'm not touching anything else in the prediction market space.
3. Exploring Robinhood
This isn't just for a potential Robinhood airdrop (if there is one), but mainly for ecosystem exposure like memes, NFT mints, and other opportunities.
I'll keep updating you all if I find anything interesting.
4. Base
Tbh, I'm a bit bored of it, but I still trade there occasionally just to stay an active Base user as we can't ignore Base.
Yes, most of these require capital, but Arc is something you can still do for free.
Overall, I'm simply following the current narrative and trend: Perps + Prediction Markets + Robinhood + a few top tier DEXs.
Hope this gives you an idea.

Robinhood Chain Could Be the Next 10X-50X Opportunity
Here's The Guide:
1️⃣ Add Robinhood Chain to your wallet : https://t.co/LNzK2f1OJo
2️⃣ Bridge a small amount of ETH ($10–$20 is enough) to the Robinhood Chain using a fresh/burner wallet : https://t.co/vMbrpOo3VX
3️⃣ Stay ready - bec We'll share updates on free NFT mints , trending NFT collections and promising memecoin launches in our Telegram channel: https://t.co/9te4XsMcmd , https://t.co/iFv4BY41XJ
⚠️ Safety First:
Since it's a brand-new chain, expect phishing sites and wallet drainers. Always use a burner wallet and never connect your main wallet !!
More than 25% of crypto users have left the market since February.
IYKYK (Fewer users = Less competition)
If this trend continues until October – November , even more users may exit the market.
For those who stay active, it could mean less competition for airdrops and potentially new narratives to explore.
Sometimes, the biggest opportunities appear when everyone else has already left...
- Data Source: Based on my analysis of the top 5 largest airdrop communities, including my own.
Two weeks ago, Ethereum researchers met in Berlin to continue charting the protocol's long-term trajectory, following along discussions with client teams in Svalbard in April.
The updated strawmap is at https://t.co/9e2AQ6rhz6, and I attached a picture of it to this post.
My own high-level takeaways:
* "Lean Ethereum" is not a single one-shot upgrade, it is a collection of improvements that will come online to the Ethereum network over the course of three or four years. But make no mistake, this IS the third major iteration of Ethereum in the same way that the Merge was the second. Almost every major piece of the protocol will be replaced:
- Verification through recursive STARKs, rather than direct re-execution. Recursive STARKs become an enshrined first-class core component of the protocol
- Replacing everything quantum-vulnerable with quantum-safe alternatives
- Consensus: decoupled available chain and finality, one or two-round finality. Theoretically optimal security properties, simpler than today, and faster than today
- Multidimensional gas
- State: not just tree structure, but what *types* of state are available
- Changes to client architecture
...
At the same time, simplification, cleanup and future-proofing. And this will all be done in a way that minimizes disruption to existing application. We've done this before (the Merge), we can do it again.
* H-star (aka Hegota) is probably Ethereum's last thematically "pre-Lean" fork. Starting from I-star, most of everything we do will have a very strong "Lean" feel to it in one way or another.
* Privacy is no longer an afterthought, it is a first class goal. When designing Frames, the mempool, additions to the state tree, we explicitly ask the question "okay, how do quantum-safe, intermediary-free privacy protocol transactions go through this, and what is the overhead?"
* Formal verification of everything for security.
* FV also makes us much more comfortable with canonicalization (having pieces of the protocol that are directly defined as a piece of bytecode expressed in some language). evm-asm is being written in part to become a canonical proof system for the EVM.
* Quantum safety has shifted up a LOT in priority. This adds a lot of work (eg. finalizing a quantum-safe blobs design has become urgent; this work has already been ongoing for months)
* Probably the single most disruptive part of the plan is the changes to state. There is growing consensus around leaving present-day-style "dynamic state" mostly unchanged, but scaling it only a medium amount, and adding new types of state that are more scalability-friendly (eg. no need for builders to sync/store all of it) but more restrictive, and that will scale a large amount.
eg. possible Ethereum in 2030: 2 TB of present-day-style (dynamic) state, and 100 TB of new-style (scalable but restrictive) state
This "new-style" state would work very well for ERC20s, NFTs, many defi use cases, but not eg. highly "central" objects like Uniswap contracts, or onchain order books, or other complex things (which are crucial for Ethereum but which only take up a small percentage of state)
Hence, it will not be *necessary* to rewrite any apps, but it will be *very cost-effective* to eg. rewrite an ERC20 token into a newer design that uses a new type of UTXO storage that is currently being explored, so that it will have >10x lower txfees.
Design of these new state types (current ideas: keyed nonces, ring buffers, UTXOs, statically accessible state, temp state) is an area where we will need a lot of feedback from application developers (incl. privacy-friendly application developers) and probably several rounds of rethinking and iteration.
* In the context of a much larger total state size, we need to figure out the incentive issues around who stores this state and what motivates them to. Even saying "each node stores 1%" is not good enough - why do they store that 1% and why are they willing to serve it? This is being elevated as a first-class research area.
* Ethereum will need to have a "VM" other than EVM in one form or another - at the very least, we need something like leanISA for recursive STARKs - and the gains are large in exposing it to users so that we support programmable privacy and better scalability. Right now, the most likely contenders are leanISA and RISC-V.
My own ideal is that in this world, we adjust the protocol so that the EVM becomes a high-level-language compiler-level feature, and the protocol only "sees" RISC-V / leanISA directly. But this is still far away.
* Gas limit increases, blob increases and slot time decreases will happen many times over the next ~5 years. We expect a large gas limit increase with Glasterdam. Each step of increased scale or decreased slot time is a matter of getting to the point where it is safe to do it, which comes from a combination of client optimization and protocol changes.
Ethereum is CROPS.
Ethereum is scaling.
Ethereum is reinventing itself.
Onward.

🪂 Why am I not sharing any project airdrop guides with you ??
Bec, you're in a Bear market phase, then a Choppy Market (Consolidation Phase).
Once the bear market's over and we hit the consolidation phase, I'll start sharing you guide about the airdrop projects.
Rn, I can't waste my or your time (98% of projects are just farming for engagement).
Just wait 2-3 months more, then 🎁💰
