@Fijacyber_ @LayerZero_Core @JumperExchange @HyperliquidX @KaitoAI @drip_haus @MeteoraAG @RelayProtocol Running a point program for 2 years is farming. Orbiter did that with 0-points too.

.@EclipseFND is probably the next decent project to keep an eye on Fuel paid off well from an effort & risk perspective, and Eclipse might be similar given the barrier to entry → you need 2 separate wallets (I might even farm Fuel S2) There will likely be a points program for Eclipse considering their ToS' mentions a 'Turbo Tap' program & 'Grass' rewards w/ no monetary value. That being said, competent teams usually reward early adopters generously retroactively So far I've been: ▫️Bridging in through Hyperlane: x.com/CC2Ventures/st… ▫️ LPing ETH/tETH on Orca (can also do SOL/ETH, etc.) Personally need to expand more and try out different dApps over there Great detailed guide below by @atoms_res

Going out on a limb here and claim that LayerZero's 2nd Airdrop is currently flying under the radar: ▫️ Daily TXs are down 90% from peak froth & pre-Airdrop #1 ▫️ Daily TX count now consolidating between 30-70K ▫️ Airdrop #1 (+ the recycled part) was decent given over 1M 'users' were eligible, sharing 8.5% of the total supply. Low 6 figs for me @ $4.11 / ZRO ▫️ 15.3% of the supply is reserved for future incentives What's more: ▫️ LayerZero is often times the most cost-efficient bridging solution ▫️ Token is holding up nicely, currently at $5.45 ($5.45B FDV) If you apply simple math and if LayerZero were to apply a similar criterion (fees sacrificed to the LZ overlords) + % allocation to Airdrop #2, the subsequent airdrop would be a LOT larger. It's like all the Sybilio farms collectively decided to shut down, not being aware or fading future incentives *cough Sei #2 & Optimism #2, #3, #4* ---------------------------- What's my strategy for LZ #2 ❓ I'm in a different position now and will only use it in the most organic way because I'm not reliant on hitting a home run here, which means: ▫️ Whenever I have to bridge, I simply use the Stargate option on @JumperExchange for a 2-in-1 deal ▫️ Sometimes, I have to refuel Gas onto obscure chains. In that case, I use LZ-powered options on @gasdotzip or @merkly_com E.g. yesterday I had to bridge to Mainnet to prepare for the @_kaitoai NFT Mint (floor at $8K), so I picked Stargate and burned $25 to LZ —— should be well worth it in the long-run. Both of the above mentioned choices (cheap, reliant bridge & refuel) are the real LayerZero PMF in my opinion. Stuff I'm using for their usefulness, and would be using anyway even if there was no airdrop angle. Similar to how I'm using Hyperliquid to trade Perps or when I feel like taking profits into Stables while playing the house on 30% APR (HLP Vault). What would I be doing if my aim was to max qualify and cover all bases ❓ ▫️ Hold $ZRO on-chain, vote on the fee switch referendum. Too late now, but maybe more on-chain gov proposals pop up. Maybe LZ will also use a TWAB approach similar to zkSync & Optimism (holding delegated OP on-chain made you eligible for future OP rewards) ▫️ Go through the 'LZ Protocol' list and use all the projects on the first two pages (or further down) at least 3-4 times over the course of months: layerzeroscan.com/protocol This part made you eligible for the RFP portion (3.5%) of Airdrop #1, and some LZ-powered projects are still tokenless. ▫️ Create educational content regarding LayerZero similar to how @ChainLinkGod has been bullposting and educating the masses on the unique value propositions $LINK offers. There's a decent portion reserved for 'Yappers', but it requires a lot more dedication than the on-chain footprint portion. Also, yapping in the LZ Discord. ---------------------------- That's about it. It honestly isn't complicated: just use LayerZero messaging tech when bridging once in a while. Don't have to always use it and can alternate with Hyperlane & Wormhole. If your wallet was eligible for Airdrop #1, very high odds you'll also hit Airdrop #2. In summary Highly asymmetric opportunity in my book, given: ▫️ Daily Message Count is down 90% (bots shut down the Sybilio farms) ▫️ ZRO token is holding up nicely ▫️ 15.3% future incentives ▫️ LZ is often the most reliable and cheapest messaging standard
