Cryptopioid

Optimized Perp DEX Strategy for 2026 Here’s what my strategy is looking like into year end: ▫️Continuing to push volume on Lighter despite TGE approaching (S2 is coming) ▫️Doubling down on Extended <> Variational efforts ▫️Increasing HyENA exposure (BasedApp + Hyperliquid) Steps and tools to deploy this strategy Step 1 Start by funding the following platforms with equal parts USDC: > @extendedapp > @Lighter_xyz > @variational_io > @hyenatrade (spot trade USDC for USDe) Step 2 Use Loris(.)tools for identifying the best funding arbs to guide your delta-nuetral trades. Be sure to add the four exchanges and favorite the coins shown in the picture at a minimum This is essentially all you need to guide your entries and exits across the exchanges. Simply refresh the page throughout the day and open or close trades accordingly based on the rates shown The best coins to trade: $HYPE and $SOL - these generally have thick liquidity while providing significantly more points than just trading BTC and ETH, while typically earning more on funding Pro tip: Check Loris + trade more frequently if your goal is to push more volume Step 3 - This is where you take it up a notch Optimize your entries exits by doing the following: > Try to “long only” on HyENA to get the full 12% APR bonus on your USDe margin > Aim to “market only” on Extended as this is the best way to earn points > On LIghter, switch to Premium Account and use limit orders > Not many details on the best strategy for Variational yet as results are varying widely - but would perform a mix of maker and taker orders to cover the bases Optimize your liquidity by: > Depositing into Extended’s XVS Vault, 75% of notional counts towards trade equity while earning yield > Depositing into HyENA’s Liquidity Provider Vault (as capacity becomes available) > Deposit into Variational’s Omni Liquidity Provider Vault (OLP) when it becomes available Additionally, try to enter a few low OI positions on smaller cap coins and let these positions run throughout 2-3 days minimum By performing trades across these four platforms you are earning: ▫️$LIT S2 points @ $85/pt OTC ▫️Extended points @ $3/pt OTC ▫️Variational points @ $30/pt (est. assumes 30% airdrop + $1B FDV) ▫️HyENA points + Based Gold + Hyperliquid S3 (maybe) ▫️Variational loss refunds (% chance depends on tier) ▫️HyENA USDe rewards (up to 12% on qualifying long positions) This is the ultimate perps strategy that I am currenlty deploying myself, feel free to reply with any questions or share your own thoughts - which platform are you most bullish on entering 2026?

@katexbt Why not during USA trading hours?

1. app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/KATE1991 2. app.tread.fi/referral/FDHGO… 0/+1 rgrid S&P500 and XYZ on xyz pair aggressive 5x scheduled per day when USA is sleeping possibly even more bookmark this

a lot of people will be regretting fading HIP-3 markets (most specifically, tradexyz) the opportunity cost of not clicking 3 buttons a day and spending a few hundred dollars to do millions in volume and qualifying for 4-5 airdrops is far too large you have 11 days more, people

@IAM_xBTCx @intodotspace Happening to me currently. Only received a partial refund

So anyone else who hasn’t gotten a refund and now while trying to claim the $SPC tokens it says “you don’t have no allocation” ??? @intodotspace what tf is going on?

@molusol @solana @bulktrade @PhoenixTrade Is this the same phoenix as before? Think they’ll ever reward early users via airdrop?

3 exciting projects getting built right now on @solana: > @bulktrade: perps DEX with gasless FIFO orders + a validator-integrated orderbook. Day 3 testnet: 110K wallets, 45K traders, 330K trades.

@intodotspace @kamino + @intodotspace thats’s a 🔥 collab

@DidiTrading Do you ever use @BasedOneX for Polymarket trades?

Day 429: How to earn 4% APY on your Polymarket stables Polymarket is paying ~4% annual interest on the 2028 election winner market to keep long-term pricing accurate. Here’s how: > go to to polymarket.com/rewards?via=di… > Search for JD Vance > Split shares with your available USDC This converts every USDC into 1 YES and 1 NO share, so you’re delta-neutral while earning ~4% APY with zero exposure to price movement. Rewards are paid daily around 00:15 UTC. When you want to take a new bet again, just click “merge shares” and your USDC is instantly available. Takes about 30 seconds to earn some free money

@DidiTrading Would be more interested if it was 8% or more

@IncomeSharks Still think $MSTR is good option for sudo-levered BTC exposure?

Bitcoin was one of the first major asset classes to make an ATH from April lows. It was also one of the first to give back all those gains. When the rest of the markets stop bleeding it'll be the easiest horse to ride back up. The mistake though, is getting back on too early.

@BlurCrypto This hits close to home 🥲

saddest part about crypto for me is that I just don’t really enjoy it anymore. miss the days i was so naive and bought into all the narratives (aave was going to flip the banks, i was going to live off sushi staking rewards, etc.). everyone was much nicer here as well for the most part, not as much tribalism there was a period of a year or two where i was manually farming 50+ wallets accross 10+ protocols. was it worth it? no. a huge waste of time? yes. did I enjoy it though? i loved it. I’d look forward to it all day while at my real job easy to say it’s just price being down, but i felt the same at $120k as i do now, and will probably feel again at $50k or $250k, whichever comes next there’s still some exciting stuff. hl, other perp dexes, and uhhh, well i don’t really know past that. regardless, have met some really cool people here and def don’t regret spending all this time in the space, but it’s more so that im sad knowing ill likely never have that passion/love for crypto that I used to this is totally a bottom post btw

@MWunsen @ventuals @tread_fi For real Tbh I’ve been getting stopped out on mst mm positions this week. Typically aggressive, grid +1. Or rgrid neutral. Nothing seems to be easy at the moment 🙃

@Cryptopioid @ventuals @tread_fi Not even worth holding vhype now 😂 Btw, what settings do you use? My PnL is awful on the market maker bot

Market Making @ventuals with @tread_fi is INCREDIBLY +ev Last week I had a ran Ventuals position on TreadFi that only went for $1.3k volume During that period, I was rewarded 10 market making Ventuals points For reference, I've been earning only 7 points for holding 50 vHYPE In total, my costs were only $3.21 for the MM position ($0.64 fees + $2.57 pnl) Assuming $100M FDV + 20% airdrop, we get $1/pt So, I "earned" $10 for a cost of $3.21, which is 3x net This week, I am testing to see if this is consistent and scaling with bigger size Overall, this seems like one of the best farms at the moment. I don't see many other perps farms giving 3x currently, even with delta-neutral Extended <> Variational Happy treading!

Steady progress, market making @ventuals markets with @tread_fi is the cheat code

Can confirm, @tread_fi activity is being counted as volume on @Dreamcash You know what this means, get treading

Do this IMMEDIATELY if you are a @Loopscale user -> Migrate your positions to your Seeker for 2x boosts -> Claim the boost by clicking "Verify" ☑️ Two fantastic Loopscale farms: 1. sHYUSD loop for 24% APY + Hylo points 2. USDC OnRe vault for 8% + OnRe points

@0xBellinili Nicely done, still riding high from the bonus week with @tread_fi but didn’t add too many this week

Thursday means kPoints day! I got 17 points this week for trading on Markets. An other wallet got a lot less points for holding some kHYPE. unfortunately my kmHYPE/ kHYPE LP pools aren't giving any points, but they are giving yield and Prjx + Hybra points. how did you do this week?

Crypto bros, the move must be longing $SPACEX - @ventuals on hl Earns: - hl S3 - vntl points - exposure to the greatest tech conglomerate pre-merger Seems like a no brainer

I earned 10x points on Variational this week. Here’s how I did it 👇 All you need to do is: • delta-neutral low OI coins, I do this with Extended • keep positions open 24-48 hrs on average I went from 1 to 10 points this week primarily holding two positions: 1. Dn $KAITO 2. Dn $RESOLV How this will change my plans: I will keep funds on Variational for this next week to see if I can replicate or even improve upon this week’s stats

@Farmrick Sybil farms still alive and well. The key is thinking what will be next 👀

another example of the importance of BEING EARLY you could have farmed $1m volume on nado for $100 using tread then selected the nft option when alpha finished then sold the nft as soon as it launched for $1800 30 minutes of time for the easiest 18x ever 🔗👇
