The best airdrops worth chasing right now
Hey, friends!
Getting more and more bullish for every day that is passing.
Can we finally experience a supply shock here?
The halving is coming. Larry Fink are buying up our BTC and ETH as we speak.
Today let’s take a look at the airdrops I am farming.
PS! Just a warning to DeFi protocols and people working in marketing in crypto. If your protocol isn’t max focusing on marketing right now, then what are you even doing? Retail is coming. EigenLayer are closing their caps again tonight (increased TVL from 1bn to 6bn in 1 month). EIP-4844 is 1 month away. What do you think will happen to $ETH when everyone wants it? It’s going to be crowded soon.
If you want to start trading crypto in the new year, use my ref link on Bybit:
https://partner.bybit.com/b/route2fi
You get lower fees, a bonus of up to $30,000, and are able to join my trading group.
I have a trading group only for my affiliates where I share my own trades + the ones from people much smarter than me once they share in their private TG/Discord.
Also, I will arrange a trader contest in cooperation with Bybit starting this week where PnL % is what matters, so even small traders have a chance to win the money prizes + an iPhone.
Once you've signed up on the ref link —> go here to join my private trading group: t.me/route2fiibot
Before we go any further, let’s have a word from our sponsor DeGate
DeGate is an order book DEX on Ethereum built with ZK Rollup.
DeGate delivers a CEX-like trading experience on DEX: order book trading, very low fees, and fast execution. At the same time, users have full self-custody over their assets.
One cool thing is that you are trading in USDM, a yield-bearing stablecoin that gives you 5% APR while you wait for your limit orders to hit, and on all stablecoins you have in your portfolio. I have a big belief in USDM for this year, so I'm glad to see this is implemented in a trading DEX.
Trading Fees:
Makers pay no fees (if you solely do limit orders it means you are trading for free)
Takers pay 0.01% for USDM pairs
The safe, low-fee platform to buy, sell, and manage crypto assets on Ethereum.
Say no to CEX, anon.
Try DeGate today and see how fast it is compared to other DEX’es!
The best airdrops worth chasing right now
There’s several airdrops to chase these days. Here are the most interesting ones right now (thanks to my friend Rektdiomedes for a great list in his newsletter yesterday which gave me inspiration for this post).
With that said, basically the key to qualify for an airdrop is to use the protocol. That means, txn, volume, provide liquidity, swap, stake etc. Basically, a protocol wants users that create volume so that the protocol earns money. Users who help the protocol earn money = are rewarded with bigger airdrops. It’s logical really.
EigenLayer airdrops
Won’t write about them, will just mention them briefly again: Swell, Kelp, EtherFI, Puffer, Renzo, EigenPie, Genesis, Inception.
I wrote about them here:
Bridge airdrops
You guessed right. It’s airdrops you can get from bridging coins from/to different ecosystems:
BungeeExchange - bridge to qualify for various potential airdrops
JumperExchange - bridge to qualify for various potential airdrops
deBridgeFinance - bridge to qualify for various potential airdrops
portalbridge_ - bridge to qualify for potential Wormhole airdrop
squidrouter - bridge to qualify for potential Wormhole airdrop
Wallet airdrops
@Rabby_io - Click “Rabby Points” to get started. Earn points for presumed airdrop, by eg. utilizing their internal swap feature.
@phantom - rumored airdrop from the Solana wallet. Just use it normally and your swaps will count.
@rainbowdotme wallet - earn “points” for presumed airdrop by utilizing their internal swap feature.
@MetaMask - long rumored to be doing an airdrop - do swaps and bridging using the in-app options in case they use that as the main criteria for a potential airdrop.
@DeBankDeFi and the DeBank L2 - rumors of possible airdrop, also same folks behind @Rabby_io wallet, create profile, deposit onto their L2 (Debank isn’t technically a wallet, but more like a social wallet tracker).
Decentralized exchanges/yield protocols
@aevoxyz - Aevo is an options/perps DEX built on their own appchain, with one of the best options UX in DeFi. They will do an airdrop too for people using their DEX. If you want the airdrop, use my link to save 20% on fees: https://app.aevo.xyz/r/route2fi
@Hyperliquidx - perps dex with (presumed) airdrop. This is an order book perpetual DEX on the Hyperliquid L1.
@rabbitx_io - app-chain perps dex - use to potentially qualify for Starknet + other airdrops
@DriftProtocol - Drift is the #1 perpetual DEX on @Solana. Trade on-chain with up to 20x leverage, cross-margin & multi-collateral. Potentially an airdrop
@MeteoraAG - liquidity/yield protocol on Solana
@StructFinance - Avalanche-based structured yields protocol
Layer 2 airdrops
@Starknet - ETH L2 presumed airdrop
@LineaBuild - ETH L2 presumed airdrop
@zksync - ETH L2 presumed airdrop
@modenetwork - new ETH L2 with presumed airdrop
Bonus airdrops
@LayerZero_Labs - Use L0 dApps. Airdrop in Q2
@PolyhedraZK - Airdrop in March. Layerzero, ZK, Eigenlayer Narrative
@Hyperlane_xyz - TIA & Eigenlayer narrative - Modular narrative
@Orbiter_Finance - Orbiter Finance is a ZK-tech-based instant omni rollup on Ethereum
@azuroprotocol - GambleFi project with (presumed) airdrop, deposit TVL such as USDT via Polygon
@ggdotzip - Solana Hunger games. Looks like a friend.tech-ish ponzi.

Just to end this issue, a wise man once said:
“This is the age of bulls. This is the time to rise up. It is time to be a golden bull as we enter into the final stages of crypto mass adoption.
You are not going to want to be selling you're only going to want to be buying. It's very important that you listen to me. Because if you do not buy you will simply not make it. Only the good boys are left.
And if you want to be a good boy, you will push the green button and go long into prosperity with all of the other bulls.
Sell your dollars. Buy Ethereum. Sell your house, and put everything, all of your net worth into cryptocurrency before it's too late.”
Take care this weekend, anon.
See you in the order books!
