Been tracking Variational farmer data 🧪
Pattern is clear:
More volume = more points, but lower efficiency.
High OI + lower turnover looks stronger.
Sweet spot from current samples: ~5–12× Volume/OI.
Testing it this week and more updates to follow👇

@VictorTopDefiG There’s a reason I keep spot as spot.
Borrowing against it to farm effectively turns an unlevered spot position into a leveraged portfolio — with liquidation + funding/borrow risk.
I’d rather farm with liquid capital and let the spot bag run untouched.

Already farming RH X Lighter points anyway…
Might as well see if we can stack another reward on top. 🫡

@variational@Lighter_xyz Tip for maximizing points 👇
Once funding gains cover your fees + spread/slippage, consider closing the hedge and reopening fresh positions.
More volume → more points, while funding helps pay the farming cost.
Let funding pay for the farm. ♻️

Filter your DEXs → sort by funding 24 hr APR → check it's sustained for 7D and 30D, place orders accordingly.
Points + APR farming at the same time.
Been holding “NO” on Satoshi moving any $BTC in 2026 for ~3 months.
Entry: 91¢
Current: ~97¢
PnL: +6.6%
Roughly 12% APR
And if Satoshi actually moves his BTC…
we probably have bigger problems anyway 💀
Maybe some @Polymarket airdrop in future? 👀

None of these are “risk-free yield.”
Smart-contract, platform, funding and token risks still exist.
Passive yield → boring & consistent
Active farming → higher effort / higher potential return
What passive strategies are you running ?

3 Passive Crypto Yield Strategies I’m Actually Using 🧵
Been farming actively on VAR/Lighter, but passive yield still deserves a place in the portfolio.
3 strategies I’ve personally used
1. Extended vault — ~8–12% APR
2. Lighter LLP — ~10–14% APR
3. Delta-neutral LIT — ~8.5%
@DonAlt Beautiful chart. Buyer around the high $60Ks and it just keeps crawling higher while everyone waits for the “perfect” entry 😂
Sometimes the hardest trade is just sitting on your hands.
