Welcome to Insights! Your quick guide to navigating the world of crypto alphas. We cut through the noise to bring you straightforward analysis, uncover hidden gems, and offer practical advice on how to spot and manage the best airdrop opportunities

The DeepBook airdrop is now live and ready for you to claim.
Join the waitlist for the Humanity Protocol project https://humanity.org/?ref_id=4SOAX21RR . The investment is $30 million (with investors including Animoca Brands, lead investor Kingsway Capital, and Blockchain.com). The project valuation is $1 billion.
A new project has emerged with strong backing and a rewarding campaign - Chainbase.
What really caught my attention is the $16.5M investment behind it and the confirmed rewards for participating in the Chainbase Genesis campaign.

1) Get started by connecting to their site here - https://genesis.chainbase.com/referral?referral_code=LMEGO3RFC
2) Earn points (called Zircons) for wallet activity.
3) Complete social tasks.

It's important to note that you need a referral link to start farming these points. Right from the start, you'll receive points for connecting your wallet.
Alpha is here. A new project just dropped, offering to mint a passport on Solana. They're positioning themselves as a service to help identify real users and secure bigger airdrops from projects.

It shows your rating—I got First Class with my main account (obviously).
Minting costs 0.02 SOL + $6.
They promise a token airdrop for everyone who mints and registers. Could be a few bucks in it.
If you're minting with multiple accounts, there's a referral link.

Mint on the site - https://pass.solana.id/?referrer=ONUNX20gOpNGjk2Kh-cZh
Reminder: There are only 4 days left until the end of the Initial Liquidity Generation phase—your last chance to deposit on Polynomial and claim an airdrop (if you're eligible due to past Pyth staking or platform use).

You can also stake now to farm points and potentially qualify for the airdrop. Keep in mind, the current formula is 0.01 points for every dollar staked per hour. So, with $100 staked, you’d earn 24 points per day.

The number of stakers is growing, but it’s still pretty low—only 2,939 so far.

Access the platform with these invite codes:

Regarding Anzen, the project I mentioned at a very early stage, they have just announced that they are pushing the TGE date to Q4, considering the current market conditions. Everything else is going according to plan—they are working on increasing TVL and developing the community. They support their decision by saying that in better market conditions, everyone will receive the rewards they deserve. I continue to hold liquidity there and follow the strategy with Hyperlock vault.
I’ve got some alpha for you again. The Neon EVM Points Program launched last night, allowing you to earn Neon Points by interacting with the Neon EVM ecosystem.

How to participate?

Register here: (https://points.absinthe.network/)
Connect your Twitter
Enter the code: 056b62e0
What to do in the program?

Starting from August 14, 2024, you can earn Neon Points by completing various actions on the platform:

Interacting with dApps: The more you use decentralized applications in the Neon EVM ecosystem (DeFi, games, NFTs, etc.), the more points you earn.
Bonus points for new interactions: Every interaction with a new dApp earns you additional Neon Points.
Referral program: Invite friends and get a 10% bonus on the points they earn. Your friends will also receive a 10% bonus on their points throughout the program.
NFT Multiplier: Holders of special NFTs issued as part of the program will receive an additional 10% bonus on all points earned.
Seed round investments led by Paradigm, in partnership with Arena. There aren't many people who have made a deposit yet. Need more reasons to deposit into Reddio https://points.reddio.com/?invite_code=DFI9L )? In addition to the deposit, you can complete social tasks.
New DEX on Scroll - Vessel Finance https://trade.vessel.finance/login?code=dAtdka launched yesterday. They raised $10 million in a seed round (https://x.com/VesselFinance/status/1821471653936898165 )this August, backed by Sequoia, co-founders of Scroll, Avalance Foundation, and IMO Ventures. There's still very few users.

The Voyage campaign has just started, where we earn miles for trading and providing liquidity. I think it's smart to get involved early to gain the advantages of being among the first users.

Invite code for platform access: dAtdka.
There are currently only 2,582 stakers in Polynomial. And the Initial Liquidity Event campaign ends in 6 days. This means less than 3000 people are in line for the airdrop. Think about it.
Here are the last three codes available:

A new project in the Berachain testnet - Fareplay (https://app.fareplay.io/) .An airdrop is explicitly mentioned with clear criteria. Also, don’t forget to complete the quest (https://www.cubquests.com/quests/bera-dinner )on The Honey Jar.

Here’s a decent testnet I recommend exploring—Sunrise Layer https://testnet.app.sunriselayer.io/referral/sunrise1w60spy8s9uxnjdunjgq4zpul90c73779hkekw0

Sunrise Layer is a Data Availability Layer for Proof of Liquidity. And Berachain, which has been rewarding participants quite well even before its official launch https://t.me/piracydata/335 ,is actually based on Proof of Liquidity. Right now, they have a joint quest with Berachain available on CubQuests, but I also recommend testing transactions on their platform (they already have a points system, and a drop is announced).

Points are earned for transactions (swaps, adding/removing liquidity).

Also, make sure to participate in these Galxe campaigns https://app.galxe.com/quest/FXrzkfGsuiRq6aZKaxSdMG/GCZMmtdaB6?referral_code=GRFr2JZtbKm7V_5-psAGrrDrH4uoPAbAviNqQg3kl8qFvLH
and this one https://app.galxe.com/quest/FXrzkfGsuiRq6aZKaxSdMG/GCTMqtdXjR?referral_code=GRFr2JXta6m7WbRnpsAGrrDrPw_prGR3H3p7FGvuAW67GSA
Here are the details about the airdrop for Pyth stakers from Polynomial. You can't just claim it directly, but you can make a deposit for staking for 10 days and earn additional points before the actual drop. There are very few users currently (less than 2,000 stakers at the moment). You can stake here: https://polynomial.fi/

The fourth week of the Social Summer campaign by Cyber has begun (https://socialsummer.xyz/?referralCode=YNL8J9) .The interactive article for Week 4 is now available for minting (answers in the screenshot), and the first NFT of Week 4 will be available in 14 hours.
As a blockchain researcher, I’ve seen many projects come and go, each with its unique promise of revolutionizing the space. However, few projects manage to strike the right balance between innovation, practicality, and user-centric design. Morph L2 is one of those rare initiatives that seem to get it right, offering not just a technical upgrade to the Ethereum ecosystem but a real vision for how blockchain can integrate seamlessly into our daily lives.

At its core, Morph is a Layer 2 solution built on Ethereum, designed to address the inherent challenges of scalability and user adoption in the blockchain space. It’s currently in its beta testnet phase, giving us a sneak peek into what’s to come. Morph isn’t just another Layer 2 solution; it’s a hybrid that combines the strengths of optimistic rollups and zero-knowledge (zk) technology, delivering a platform that’s both highly scalable and secure.
Unexpected $5k Drop

Once again, I'm convinced that the best airdrops are the ones you either don't expect or don't even know about. I mentioned the Unicorn meme coin (https://unicorn.meme/ )before, which was given to owners of certain NFT communities. Today, I noticed another allocation, decided to claim it (just for the sake of it), and then checked my wallet—there was an extra $5k. I thought it might be a glitch, so I went to Jupiter, swapped half of it, and everything went through fine. Cashed out $2.5k from selling 50% of the drop.

This reminds me of when I got $8k from Wormhole without expecting anything and with Spectral, which I knew nothing about at the time.
In Plume, new tasks have been added https://miles.plumenetwork.xyz/join?invite=PLUME-6TGFA

1) Open a position on Silver Koi
2) Sign the certificate via EthSign
3) Complete the tasks in Galxe https://app.galxe.com/quest/PlumeNetwork/GCZGWtvXVo
At Fantasy.top, free registration for Tactics will be available for another 25 minutes. If you've participated in the project, don't miss out. The pool includes 1,870 Blast gold, cards, and a reward of 500 USDC.

I wrote about the DAO Base project (https://daobase.ai/point/task?inviteId=0RT25I )almost 2 weeks ago. Since then, the number of people in DAO Base has significantly increased, but it's still not too late to start participating. The project is actively developing and will definitely find its niche.

What to do?

1) Register on the platform (https://daobase.ai/point/task?inviteId=0RT25I)
2) Mint a DAO Badge (a dynamic NFT reflecting activity and reputation in the DAO ecosystem)
3) Join the Discord (https://discord.gg/JYY2mscU)
4) Connect Twitter, Discord, and Telegram
5) Complete social tasks
6) Engage in conversations in Discord and the Telegram group; you earn points for leveling up in Discord and Telegram on the platform as well
7) Do daily check-ins
8) Post on Twitter, tagging @daobase_ai and using the hashtag #DAOBase. Then, add the links to your posts in your platform dashboard (https://daobase.ai/point/task?inviteId=0RT25I) .Points are awarded for views and likes
Ether.fi launches the Diamond Campaign (https://app.ether.fi/eeth?address=0xB3623D62FF30fadB5B2e127C07cab0D1b0808276 )running from July 29 to September 14, 2024! During this period, you can earn 0.1 ETHFI for each staked ETH. Additionally, all existing stakers will also receive rewards.

Perks from Season 1 and Season 2 will remain active, while other perks will be annulled. Important: full withdrawal of funds before the end of the campaign will forfeit rewards.

As shown by previous seasons, having more small accounts with deposits of more than 0.11 ETH is more advantageous than having one large deposit.
The Zircuit airdrop is now available for claim. It's another modest drop. I've staked 1.7 ETH with them since around late January-February. But it's okay, we'll have our Spectral / Wormhole moment soon enough.
If you're having trouble with the Bera Union: Fur and Friendship quest on the The Honey Jar Cubquest platform, here's a simple solution:

1) Request Bera tokens from the faucet at https://www.cubquests.com/
2) Go to https://app.kodiak.finance/#/swap?chain=berachain_bartio and swap Bera for the stdv4tnt token (DyDx testnet token name)
3) Transfer stdv4tnt from Berachain Bartio to Stride
Testnet through Union at https://app.union.build/transfer
5) Transfer stdv4tnt back to Berachain Bartio from Stride Testnet
6) Add liquidity to the stDYDX-HONEY pool on Kodiak
A new multiplier is available for claim in MilkyWay Zone. If you're staking TIA there, make sure to check it out. https://app.milkyway.zone/?ref=piracydata
I hope you’re not forgetting to do daily check-ins for the Cyber x DeForm campaign (https://cyber.deform.cc/stakingparty?referral=FpyFyMbeN46l)?
