Looking forward to the Harmonix TGE tomorrow!
Here are a few reasons why I’m bullish:
1. Airdrop on HyperCore
If you signed the terms, you’ll receive your $HAR tokens airdropped directly on HyperCore — no need to claim.
This approach reduces potential claim-related scams and is overall +EV for airdrop recipients.
2. Protection Vault
Depositing into the vault within the first hour after TGE not only yields 80% APR in fixed yield, but you also get compensated with additional $HAR tokens if the price dumps.
It’s a win-win: depositors don’t have to worry about downside while earning 80% APR, and sell pressure at TGE is significantly reduced, leading to a better outcome for regular holders as well.
I’ve never seen this approach before, and it’s a very solid solution for executing a successful TGE.
3. Innovative convertible flywheel
Users can get exposure to $HAR with near zero risk, starting from stables.
You deposit stables and get two clear options:
> Option 1: Earn yield + HIP-3 points
Stables are deployed into strategies to generate yield and points.
> Option 2: Convert to $HAR when it makes sense
If $HAR goes up, you convert and get more value.
If not, you can always exit back to stables.
The real flywheel kicks in when you convert to $HAR.
Your stables are used to accumulate $HYPE.
That $HYPE, the team generates more yield and is used to buy back $HAR.
> Value loops back to holders.
All in all, I expect the TGE to perform well given the points above, NFA though!
gHarmonix.
Lighter TGE is in ~1 month.
From now on, you won’t be able to farm meaningful points anymore with a small port.
And once incentives are finished, liquidity and traders will rotate to the next best perp DEX with active rewards.
I’m front-running that rotation right now and farming Variational and Extended heavily.
If $LIT TGE cooks, Variational and Extended will cook as well.
It will kick off a full perp DEX token meta in 2026.
Everyone will want to hold perp DEX tokens because they generate real revenue and are forced into buybacks — otherwise they fall behind competitors like $HYPE.
Back in March, not even in their wildest dreams did people believe that Lighter points could be worth $100.
People were happy with $1 per point.
That’s a 100x difference!
Now everyone calls early Lighter farmers “lucky”, but they ignore the fact that those people had real conviction while everyone else was fudding.
Variational and Extended are in the exact same spot today.
Back then it was:
“Hyperliquid is too big, Lighter will never gain real market share.”
Now it’s:
“Lighter is already too big, Variational and Extended won't be able to compete.”
Same narrative. Same mistake.
You already missed Lighter.
Don’t sideline yourself again on the next two promising perp DEXs.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a HL or Lighter maxi.
You’re here to make money — not to marry your bags.
From my own experience: rotating part of my perps volume from HL to Lighter in March was my best decisions of this cycle.
Variational’s points program will launch very soon (before EOY), so you are still very early.
Access is still invite-only, use my code OMNIBASESOL for maximum benefits:

Extended’s points season is expected to run until end of Q1 2026.
You still have 3–4 months left to make the most of it!

We should cheer for other perp DEXs like Lighter to take market share from CEXs and grow the overall pie.
There is always enough room for multiple competitors.
If we look at the CEX landscape, we don’t only have Binance as the sole T1 exchange — there are also Coinbase, Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, OKX, etc.
All of them have their own user base and generate massive revenue.
Coinbase is very popular in the US, KuCoin and Bitget are well known in Asia, and Binance has users all over the world.
We can already see the same pattern forming with Hyperliquid and Lighter.
Whales and larger entities prefer Hyperliquid due to the team’s proven track record and deep liquidity.
Retail, on the other hand, prefers Lighter because they can trade perps and spot without paying a cent in fees.
And what most people fail to accept is that competition is healthy and ultimately leads to progress.
For example: HL sees Lighter gaining users with a zero-fee model, then decides to offer lower fees on other products as well (like Growth Mode for HIP-3), which is +EV for all users.
TL;DR: Both can coexist and grow at the same time.
Lighterliquid.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is heavily HyperDash coded.
Had the privilege to test @pvp_dot_trade’s new FE over the last few days.
All I can say: you’re going to be very surprised by how good it is.
It comes with a ton of useful features your favorite FE doesn’t offer — just to name a few:
> reverse option (flips your position from long to short or vice versa instead of just closing it)
> top traders’ positions for each asset
> integrated liquidation heatmap
> notional liquidations of top trader
> major position changes from good traders
> huge copytrading tab
> multiple deposit methods across 10+ chains and card deposits
You’ll be able to try it out yourself very soon.
The wait was absolutely worth it!
I'm a bit surprised that $KNTQ reached a 200M FDV despite the current market conditions.
Sold most of my airdrop at 0.19–0.20$, which is ~5$ per point.
It could trade higher in a few months, especially with the @markets_xyz launch and potential token buybacks.
But I'm not looking to hold any token (besides some $HYPE) in these market conditions.
Remember: Cash is king.
Hyperliquid.
Since it has become very competitive to earn Lighter points, I shifted my focus towards Variational.
To spot an airdrop farm with good r/r, it’s crucial that the product itself is great and competition is low.
@variational_io ticks both boxes!
Product:
> very smooth UX
> zero fees & tight spreads
> unique loss refund feature
> 495+ liquid tradable markets
Competition:
> private beta (invite-only)
> points program isn’t live yet
> only ~10k people with 100k+ lifetime volume
The team already confirmed a points program and retroactive rewards.
Once points go live, masses will flood in and start generating excessive volume on 10+ wallets.
Use the edge you have right now to build as much organic volume as possible — and try to stay profitable.
Use code OMNIBASESOL to join the private beta, unlock instant bronze tier, boosted loss refunds, and a (redacted) boost once points are live:

Bonus: @extendedapp
Broke through $1B+ daily volume, $100M+ in TVL and launched builder codes (with 5+ projects in the pipeline).
The Extended team is full of ex-Revolut team members, therefore they could possibly partner up with Revolut to offer perps to their customers, which would be HUGE!
With ~$80M in OI Extended is far from being crowded.

The recent @Lighter_xyz raise is insanely bullish!
Everyone who says the opposite is extremely retarded.
VCs usually have a bad image in crypto because they’re mostly -EV.
But if you choose the right VCs/investors, they can actually fuel your project’s growth.
Let me explain 👇
Lighter raised $68M at a $1.5B valuation from top-tier VCs/investors like:
1. Founders Fund (Peter Thiel’s VC, also invested in OpenAI & Facebook)
2. Robinhood (the biggest retail broker in the US)
3. Ribbit Capital (early investor in Robinhood, Coinbase, and Revolut)
Now compare this raise to other VC rounds — if your IQ is above 80, you’ll immediately spot the difference.
VCs like Founders Fund and Ribbit Capital, both with proven track records, don’t invest in random projects for a quick 2–3x.
When they invest, they’re betting on a massive long-term win (like OpenAI, Facebook or Robinhood).
But in my opinion, Robinhood’s involvement is the most interesting part here.
What most people don’t know is that Lighter’s CEO @vnovakovski is a former advisor at Robinhood and has known Robinhood’s CEO @vladtenev since childhood.
Because of the strong ties between both founders, it's not unlikely Robinhood could partner with Lighter to offer perps to millions of users worldwide.
Fun fact — both Lighter and Robinhood share the same retail-focused, zero-fee philosophy, which makes such a partnership even more likely.
And don’t forget — VC allocations will be locked for a long time, and 25–30% of the total token supply will be airdropped to the community at TGE (both statements confirmed by the founder).
So VC involvement isn’t bad by default — it can actually co-exist with a community-aligned approach.
So next time you see FUD on the timeline about Lighter’s raise — remember, those people are completely sidelined.

Extended.
Top 5 Perp DEX. Just crossed $1B+ in daily volume and recently dropped builder codes, with 5+ new projects already in the pipeline.
The smartest people I know are farming top Perp DEXs like Extended right now — because they understand one simple truth:
Our degen, leverage-addicted generation can’t keep its hands off the button.
That’s why Hyperliquid pulls in $1M–$2M+ in daily revenue, even on slow weekends.
And why we’re seeing $1B+ liquidation days like it’s nothing.
Perp DEXs aren’t a trend — they’re a structural shift.
They’ll slowly eat up CEXs and become the most profitable businesses in crypto.
A lot of people think new Perp DEXs will flop because “Hyperliquid already won.”
That’s simply not true, they’re missing the bigger picture.
The perps pie is enormous — even without CEXs.
Now imagine what happens when CEX users inevitably migrate on-chain (because eventually, everyone realizes CEXs are milking them).
That’s why your #1 priority right now — especially while markets are choppy and BTC is barely holding above $100K —
should be farming the top 5 perp DEXs.
And yes, one of them is Extended.
Still under 20K lifetime users — likely 100K+ by Q1–Q2 2026.
Early Lighter farmers are now sitting on 6-7 figures worth of points, cause they farmed points when they were cheap to obtain.
Don’t repeat that mistake by fading Extended!
Just think what happens to Extended’s user base and volume when Revolut integrates perps with them.
The Extended team is full of ex-Revolut members — odds are high they’ll partner with one of Europe’s biggest fintechs to offer on-chain perps.
My strategy to maximize points on Extended:
> Trade low-OI pairs
> Generate organic volume
> Run delta-neutral trades
> Use an affiliate link to secure the maximum points boost

The waitlist for one of the most anticipated DEXs on HL is now live!
@silhouette_ex brings privacy to whales who don’t want to get front-run.
The sooner you join, the sooner you’ll get access:
https://t.co/fOlMUJNBWG
Why you should farm Perp DEXs:
Perps have the best PMF (product-market fit) among all crypto products.
Our generation is full of gambling addicts — and there’s no sign of it slowing down.
Not only that, but after the 10/10 crash and the recent MEXC situation, it’s become clear that CEXs are a scam and will continue to lose market share to DEXs over time.
Therefore, the best way to profit from this shift is by buying $HYPE AND farming tokenless Perp DEXs.
You shouldn’t be farming 100 different Perp DEXs though — focus on these 3 high-quality ones 👇
➔ @HyperliquidX
They’re the best when it comes to liquidity, execution, and user experience.
If there’s gonna be a HL S3 (high odds), it will likely be the biggest airdrop of the year.
Over 40% of the total $HYPE supply is “reserved for future emissions and community rewards,” according to their docs.
Even if they only airdrop 5%, that’s still a $2B airdrop!
Try to push volume on perps and especially HIP-3 markets, which were recently added to the HL front-end.
If we take the HYPE genesis drop as an example, spot markets (which were new back then) were rewarded significantly more — so it might be smart to have some HIP-3 and HyperEVM activity too.
So far, the only tradable HIP-3 market is XYZ100 (Nasdaq Index), but more (like TSLA, HOOD, or GOLD) will go live soon.
Since XYZ100 was deployed by HyperUnit, you could qualify for a potential $UNIT airdrop while trading HIP-3 on Hyperliquid — 2-in-1 farming.
If you are not using Hyperliquid yet, you should change it right now.
Use my ref for discounted fees on HL:
https://t.co/CmndvS2NeO
➔ @Lighter_xyz
Zero fees and solid liquidity make Lighter very attractive for smaller traders.
You lose less on fees while still being able to trade crypto perps, pre-market perps and forex pairs.
The main reason I’m using Lighter is because I think the airdrop will be a massive cook.
Points are already selling for $90–$100 OTC, but if BTC holds up in the next 2 months, they could be worth even more at TGE.
The founder has already hinted at airdropping 30% to the community, with TGE likely happening before EOY.
They’ll also launch spot markets soon, which will probably be heavily incentivized — just like Hyperliquid rewarded spot traders early on.
I’d advise doubling down on spot pairs once they go live (that’s your edge — since perps on Lighter are very competitive now) and buying/holding their memecoin once it launches (back then, $PURR holders earned a lot of points).

➔ @variational_io
Also zero fees, but with a unique loss refund system.
You are basically given a second chance when you get liquidated which is massive for less experienced traders.
Their growth has been insane lately as more traders realize how similar it feels to early-stage Lighter.
They recently broke $450M OI and $1B+ daily volume, while still in private beta (invite-only), with just 10k lifetime users — and no points program yet.
The founder already confirmed that a points program will launch soon, followed by retroactive rewards.
That’s your edge — because right now, no one knows how many points they’re earning or how to optimize.
Once the points program is live, everyone will rush in, and it’ll get much more competitive.
And here’s the best part: the more volume you trade, the more you’ll likely be able to deposit into OLP (Omni Liquidity Provider aka Market Maker) once it’s live.
Early Lighter LLP deposits yielded 200%+ APY, completely passive — so I’ll try to max deposit into OLP once available.

gmonad.
expected a bit more for community last tier and 5 strength score, but I’ll happily take the free money.
how much did you get and with which tier?
Yeah, keep fading…
Both the points program and retroactive points are confirmed!
It’s currently the 5th biggest DEX based on 24h volume ($2.7B) and open interest ($400M).
And there are still only 6k users with more than $100k volume.
Earning hidden points on Variational is literally so easy right now — still low competition, zero fees, tight spreads, and even loss refunds.
In my opinion, you should push as much volume as possible on Variational before the points program goes live.
I think the Perp DEX meta is nowhere near its peak yet — CEXs are a scam, and more and more people are realizing it.

Trade HIP-3 markets on Hyperliquid.
If we get HL S3, it will most likely be heavily incentivized.
Who knows — maybe you’ll wake up with some $UNIT hitting your wallet as well.
Don’t fade HyperStonks!
You realize how early you are to Variational?
For comparison, Lighter already has well over 100k lifetime traders.
When it comes to airdrops, the only things that matter are being early (low competition) or choosing a product with real PMF.
Variational has both — traders who get liquidated actually get bailed out through loss refunds, which basically gives them a second chance.
Which other DEX offers that?
On top of that, you’ve got zero fees, tight spreads, and 500+ markets to trade.
The crazy part? There are only about 5k users right now with $100k+ lifetime volume on Variational.
And to put that in perspective — opening and closing a 50x lev trade with 1k margin already gives you $100k volume.
The most obvious reason why Variational doesn’t have 5–10x more users yet is because they haven’t launched their points program.
But the founder already confirmed that points are coming soon, and retroactive usage will be rewarded.
What more do I need to say?
You’re basically farming points right now, the only difference is that you don’t see them yet or get your weekly dopamine hit.
For once, stop procrastinating and build volume on Variational pre-points, while competition is still low.
I remember back in March, when I was farming Lighter, I got 200 points for trading $2M in a week — those are worth $20k OTC now!
I regret not pushing 10x more volume back then on Lighter, but I’m not making the same mistake again with Variational.
You need an invite to join since they’re still in private beta.
Using code OMNIBASESOL instantly puts you in Bronze Tier, gives you boosted loss refunds, and a (REDACTED) boost soon 👀

🔥 Weekly Alfa:
➔ @variational_io
Been pushing a lot of volume here lately.
The team is extremely hungry, shipping updates fast and improving the platform every week.
More and more smart traders are catching on to their progress and explosive growth — but most are still fading.
There are only ~5k users with over $100K volume, so you’re still very early.
To put that into perspective: opening a 50x trade with $1K and closing it once already puts you in the top 5k users by volume!
They’ve hit $1B+ daily volume several days in a row, crossed $300M OI, offer 500+ markets with deep liquidity, and charge zero fees.
They even have a loss refund feature that occasionally bails you out when you get liquidated.
As an early Lighter user, I really regret not pushing more volume when it was easy to rack up points — not making that mistake again with Variational.
Aiming for $2M–$3M monthly volume to stay ahead of 95%+ of traders.
It’s still in private beta, so you need an invite to join.

➔ @tradexyz
Can’t stress this enough — this is the BEST way to position yourself for a potential $UNIT airdrop!
Competition is super low due to the $5M all-time Hyperliquid volume requirement to join the waitlist, which is why there are only around 8k users on it so far.
I just pushed a second account above $5M volume on HL because I’m super convinced the $UNIT airdrop will be a massive cook.
By the way, pushing volume on HL also positions you for a potential HL S3 👀
They’re gradually giving access to early signups, so the faster you join, the sooner you’ll be able to start trading and generating volume.
Join the waitlist now: https://t.co/02mbSzLinm
➔ @Polymarket
Recently started a $2K → $10K challenge on Polymarket.
Posting weekly updates here as a trading journal — to reflect on my decisions and track progress (of course, NFA).
Mainly doing this to boost my volume for a potential $POLY airdrop and get better at prediction markets, which I think will continue to perform well even in a bear market.
How did you do this week?
