GM Thrusties! As you know, governance and voting are key in DeFi, but lately, it’s been treated like a meme for various reasons. So, I’ve put together a cheat sheet to remind you just how crucial voting is in the governance of a DEX!

Soon, Blast will be akin to an on-chain Robinhood but with a much broader set of apps. Thruster and partners are laying down the liquidity rails to offer the broadest asset range on any L2, with the functionality of an L1. Let's keep growing the pie together.

It's clear that mobile apps are better for onboarding, and Blast is shipping this thesis the hardest. Their app combines on-chain payments, native-yield banking, and global investing under one mobile-friendly roof, making it a clear leader in this moat. x.com/blast/status/1…

Blast AMA: the unfiltered breakdown 👇 As a member of the @Blast Progress Council, I want to share a breakdown of the latest AMA with @PacmanBlur. Full disclosure: I am not part of the Blast team, and some of this information was new to me as well. So, as usual, I’ll start with an unbiased rundown of the key points covered by Pacman before sharing my own thoughts at the end. There were a lot of questions from the community -too many to cover everything - but I’ll do my best to pass on the most important takeaways. --------- // --------- 1 - Communication Pacman affirmed the team has been listening to our concerns and criticism. The decision to build in semi-stealth was strategic, but it fueled unnecessary confusion. Now, with a live product, they claim iteration will be more public. 2 - The App is more than just 4 buttons Underneath the minimalist UI, this is actually a progressive web app (PWA) wallet with passkeys acting as seed phrases - a major shift. The four buttons aren’t just UI elements; they’re access points to a growing ecosystem. Almost like mini-apps built inside an app. Many more apps are coming soon. 3 - Native notifications and phased rollout Blast has built a native notification framework that will let apps communicate with users, which looks like a powerful tool. This is not visible yet. They launched the app in a barebones state, opting for a phased rollout instead of overwhelming users. The decision was controlled, deliberate releases over rapid deployment into potential chaos - and they chose to minimize that risk. 4 - The Vision: web3’s first fully integrated ecosystem Blast is trying to build a self-contained crypto economy where users don’t need CEXs or external wallets. Everything, from onboarding, transactions, dapps, to on/off-ramps, inside one app. 5 - Builders are frustrated + higher focus on building a user network There’s no denying it and Pacman addressed this point. A lot of builders are frustrated, and some existing dapps are looking to bridge off. Also, most dapps today aren’t even mobile-compatible. From the start, going mobile was part of Blast’s vision. First, the team built the chain with native yield - a massive structural shift. Then, Pacman said, came the PWA wallet, a paradigm shift of its own. Unlike traditional wallets, it had to undergo security audits and be designed to allow untrusted apps to run safely within it. In an ideal world, Blast would have given this infrastructure to builders from day one, but it simply wasn’t possible, he said. Security, usability, and scaling concerns made an open launch impractical. Pacman also mentioned that a lot of early builders were just chasing incentives. Blast wasn’t the only chain throwing out incentives - other ecosystems were offering competitive bribes, and many builders followed the money. So, instead of trying to outbid everyone in a short-term incentive war, Blast accepted that it couldn’t win that game and focused on a different approach. The team's core belief is that a strong user network is the real play. Their strategy is to build a valuable user base first and then make builders come for the organic demand, not short-term payouts. Therefore, they came up with a 70% APY focus on incentivizing a high profile of users to be onbvoarded, to build this high-level user network. You reverse engineer the process and dapps will have the natural incentive to build because there is an audience desiring a product. To execute this strategy, they introduced this APY model, not as a long-term ponzi, but as a short-term user acquisition mechanism. The goal was to onboard high-value users, creating a strong network effect that makes the ecosystem inherently attractive to builders. Builders follow the liquidity, not the other way around. 6 - No ETH APY ETH holders won’t get an APY multiplier. Blast is pushing incentives toward USDB and $BLAST, trying to force ecosystem alignment. Although there will always be support for ETH, the goal is to have $BLAST as the native in-game token. 7 - Sentiment issues: the Ponzi narrative and no Marketing whatsoever Right now, sentiment isn’t great and everyone knows it. Many are skeptical, some outright calling this 70% APY a Ponzi, and marketing plans are being questioned. Pacman shared an analogy with Athena - early on, people assumed it was the next LUNA. Then, as the mechanics became clear, the narrative shifted. With Blast, he said, the high APY isn’t magic, it’s a marketing expense. The Blast Foundation is funding this yield as an onboarding strategy, and like any acquisition cost, it won’t last forever. It’s a temporary mechanism to bring users in. The system was never designed to sustain 70% APY indefinitely. He also share these emissions are actually lower than the previous points and gold program. Less BLAST is being used to achieve better onboarding efficiency. As for marketing, the focus isn’t on hype, it’s on product experience. Get people using the product <> let them engage with the ecosystem <> this is the best way to market a product So, instead of throwing money at influencers and ads, Blast will be whitelisting key apps like @ThrusterFi and onboarding more dapps to create a natural viral loop. The belief is that real usage drives word-of-mouth. 8 - $BLAST as ecosystem currency Not every dapp will use BLAST. Some will lean on stables or other models. But in crypto-native gaming and deeper integrations, BLAST will be the default currency, especially on gaming dapps. 9 - Deep-linking A P2P payment system is built and will come - allowing users to send money via email, phone number, or direct invite links. 10 - Non-Crypto users flow Right now, the app is built for crypto-natives - users who already understand wallets, staking, and DeFi mechanics. But that’s not the long-term vision. A new onboarding flow is being designed specifically for non-crypto users. The goal is to create a frictionless experience where users can seamlessly move between dApps without the traditional complexity of Web3. Instead of forcing newcomers to navigate private keys, CEX transfers, and complicated onboarding, the approach is to make dapp interactions feel as smooth as Web2 apps. This is a critical step in making Blast more than just another L2 - it’s about expanding crypto’s accessibility beyond the usual DeFi crowd. 11 - $BLAST Price Pacman mentioned that execution will determine everything. If the ecosystem works as intended, price will follow. There are always risks in crypto. ----- // ---- Personal takes Firstly, Pacman confirmed that another AMA will be happening on X soon. This is important for maximum reach, exposure, and easier replayability. Honestly, I think this one should have already been on X - that would have avoided fragmentation in communication. But it’s good to know another one is coming. 1 - As for point number 1 (communication), this is nothing new. I’ve repeated the importance of transparent, consistent, and strategic communication more times than I can count. The team acknowledged that this will improve now that the product is out, so we’ll see. But I know we’ve heard this before, so execution is what matters now and I will be entirely available to help in this point, however I can. ------------- 2 - The AMA confirmed what I naturally suspected - those 4 buttons are just the surface of a much deeper infrastructure. The complexity under the hood is real, and it was good to get more insight into that. That said, the current experience still feels underwhelming. First impressions matter, and personally, I would have approached this launch differently given how long people have been waiting. Even if the decision was to launch with a simplified UI, I would have gone for a more clear communication strategy beforehand. This would have set expectations and prevented unnecessary FUD. This is surely a valuable learning lesson for the team. ------------ 3 - The native notification system is bullish, and I understand why the team went for a phased rollout instead of dropping everything at once. If you strip away the marketing/communication arguments, the product strategy itself is reasonable and rational. Dropping everything at once could have overwhelmed users and created unnecessary chaos. Given that this is an entirely new system, onboarding people in controlled layers of complexity makes sense to me. Strategically, this was the correct approach, imo. ---------- 4 - The vision is as ambitious as it gets. From a theoretical standpoint, it makes complete sense, and I resonate with Pacman’s long-term plan. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have stuck around for over a year. But execution is everything. The next few months will determine whether this is just a great concept or an actual working reality and everyone is aware this is an ambitious project from the very start. They always made the vision clear. ---------- 5 - This is a tough one. I get Pacman’s logic - focusing on long-term user acquisition over short-term bribes for builders makes sense from a macro perspective. But in the short term, this is alienating some of the earliest builders. The ecosystem isn’t mature enough yet to fully sustain itself without more support. If Blast onboards a massive wave of users, builders will come naturally. But in Web3, sentiment and price action drive momentum and that’s a risk that shouldn’t be ignored. Let’s see what happens when whitelisted apps start rolling out on mobile - that could be the real turning point. --------- 6 - No ETH APY doesn’t bother me a bit. The focus is on native tokens and ecosystem alignment, which is exactly what should be happening. Not much else to say here. --------- 7 - Everyone knew the 70% APY wasn’t a permanent thing. The real question was whether it was a sustainable strategy, and Pacman’s explanation was solid. It makes sense - the high APY is a calculated marketing expense to onboard users quickly, and it’s actually more cost-effective than the previous points/gold program. No issues here, the reasoning is coherent with the broader vision and Pacman did a great job in explaining. --------- 8 - Having $BLAST as the default currency was the only logical path forward, so I’m glad this is happening. That said, I would have liked more details on the actual tokenomics. We got confirmation of its role, but not much depth on mechanics or long-term economic structuring. Still, it’s good to see the expected utility materializing. -------- 9 - It makes sense that a web2 onboarding flow wasn’t the initial focus. The priority was always to build the Web3 infrastructure first, then optimize for a Web2-friendly experience on top of the versatile and flexibility infra built. Knowing that a non-crypto-native onboarding flow is in the works is good to hear, and I’ll be paying close attention once we have full access to the new funnel. ------- Final take There’s a lot that needs urgent improvement, but now that the product is out, there’s finally a reason for the Blast team to step up communications again. Almost 200 people tuned in, and despite all the noise, the community still wants to see this ecosystem succeed. I’ll be helping in any way I can, as always, with full transparency - praising when deserved, and giving tough love when needed. Being part of the Progress Council doesn’t mean I’ll sugarcoat things and I believe this is also part of the reason I was elected. And of course, I’ll continue keeping the Inner Circle updated and bringing as much value to the fam as I possibly can. Hopefully, this marks the beginning of a new phase for Blast and I’m looking forward to seeing how it unfolds. Blast bros unite 💛

everyone likes to shit on @blast and is disappointed with their roadmap announcement/app but i think theres a simple reason why they decided to go in this direction and why it might actually work the major disappointment comes from the fact that the blast app is something none of us (CT) would actually use; and that's the whole point! Instead of catering to the yield farmers and big accounts in an industry saturated with yield opportunities, they decided to tackle the onboarding of the new wave of crypto users and the new millionaires. Most of us on CT started with and still keep our whole experience on desktop; but the new generation (even most of the Solana trenches) likely never opened a DeFi app, feeling like it’s too complex and a waste of time to move all wallets to a PC. It’s undeniable that for the past year, most of the onboarding and tooling development has happened on mobile, mainly with Telegram bots (Trojan, Photon, Bullx, …) and that mobile-based tools are here to stay. So why not capture this market and newfound wealth by offering them what on paper is a high-yield DeFi savings account? High yield on stables is something that has always worked extremely well in attracting non-sophisticated users into using DeFi for the first time (think of how many non-crypto-native people were using Anchor). There are only two other main ecosystems that are working in a mobile-first direction at present: 1. Worldcoin Again, a project that is heavily misunderstood by CT as a Fed chain; they started off by simply onboarding users in mostly developing countries and offering them a bi-weekly $WLD airdrop if they downloaded an app. This obviously seemed like a zero-sum game of unsustainable yield, but guess what: the @worldcoin  app has evolved a lot since then, and I personally feel like at this point, it’s likely the best UX you can get for user onboarding in crypto. For the people that haven't been following the app's updates, this is what the app looks like now: Simple UI, an app store, incredibly fast and responsive apps made for and catering to mobile users in the $WLD eco. This is all fantastic, but there's a clear scaling limitation for the project: they need to physically have people go to ORB managers and get their eyeballs scanned to be onboarded. 2. Telegram's $TON and TAC There are two ways Telegram is currently being used to pave the mobile-first UX: - Telegram bots acting as a proxy for interacting with SOL/ETH with very specific purposes (Photon, Trojan, BullX, ...) - The $TON native way: Telegram’s integrated wallet, clicker apps that have been onboarding a lot of people in the past year, mini-app-centric ecosystem with high shareability to earn higher rewards The limitations here are also clear. On the one hand, proxy bots have very specific use cases and cannot scale because the private keys need to be held by their creators. On the other hand, TON native mini apps lack a substantial developer base because no one wants to learn Func to cater to Telegram native users. This is all about to change with @TacBuild which is building the first fully Telegram TOS-compliant blockchain, allowing TON wallet users to directly interact with the EVM. When they go live, Telegram users will be able for the first time to swap via Curve, Uniswap, use Aave, and all directly from within a mini app. On top of this, people can still interact with the same dApps deployed on TAC from the desktop website. Overall, I believe it will be a close race between @blast and @TacBuild for winning the mobile user base. One has the financial backing, attractive programs, and excellent projects already deployed on the chain. The other has Telegram native integration (along with numerous well-known dApps deploying on Tac soon). So now here's the situation: - Plenty of people made money in the Solana trenches and don't know what to do with that money. - Most of the onboarding for new users comes through mobile channels. - Only 2/3 other ecos are working in a mobile-first direction. - Blast is natively giving a high-yield savings account to funnel users. What to most appears to be a battle between Blast and all other chains is actually a battle just between Blast, Worldcoin, and TAC. While the @blast app might only look like this at present,  it is going to look a lot different in just a few months. What is just now just a platform for people to put their savings, will become a full mobile-first DeFi ecosystem.

@710_eth @espn @fantasy_top_ Smart parallel between ESPN and Fantasy. Both started niche and expanded strategically. The web3/crypto space is like early sports media - fragmented but ripe for aggregation. Curious to see how Fantasy builds its ecosystem.

What made @ESPN unique? - 24/7 coverage of sports - Focused on smaller, more niche sports at first - Introduced Fantasy sports and interactive content - Collaborations and deals with the industries biggest teams/names How is @fantasy_top_ similar? - 24/7 coverage of Twitter - Focused on smaller, more niche industries (crypto) - Introduced Fantasy sports to Twitter engagement - Collaborations with the spaces biggest names (Heroes) and brands (soon) ------------------------------------------------------ When you zoom out and look at the two, the similarities are uncanny. Sports fandom was derived from local IRL social communities supporting the same team; this is mimicked by NFT/crypto communities today. Humans are competitive creatures, constantly seeking unique ways to measure themselves against those around them. Twitter/X presents a special competition ground because it encloses such a vast amount of talent and intelligence in a metaphorically small space known as the timeline. NFT/crypto's natural tribalism intensifies this fire, creating the perfect conditions for the birth of fantasy socialfi. ------------------------------------------------------ Max pain is being under allocated to the social platform you log into every day.

Clayton Mooney@MooneyMillions·
BIG POST I've gained a lot of new followers over the past couple weeks. I'm guessing you're here because I’m obsessed with and competitive within @Fantasy_top. I’ve written out a guide of sorts below, as a gift to anyone reading this and playing Fantasy Top. 🎁 Shares are appreciated, as I’d like this to get in front of every single Fantasy Top player. 📈 A rising tide raises all ships.🛳️ First, I’m a full-time founder and CEO, trying to do my part in making the world a better place through building a technology company that helps people eat better. 🥗 You can learn more about me at ClaytonMooney.com ---------- First, here are must-follows for the game of Fantasy Top 1. The absolute best data wrangler in the game is @0xthemolt. The work he puts in is probably 10x more than we’re all aware of. Check out FantasySheets.xyz if you haven’t already. The Molt’s sheets were a point of inspiration for @FantasyTopHUDs.📊 2. The absolute best lineup strategist in the game is @Khallid4397. His weekly lineup is the perfect primer for anyone wanting better results across Bronze and Silver. His updates on which heroes are AFK/Suspended/Private were an inspiration for the filter features we have in @FantasyTopHUDs.🏆 3. I run A LOT of miles every week. Over the past month, I’ve been running a little happier while catching @fantasy_hour_ & @Metaverse_HQ X spaces. Shoutout to the hosts @thecarpenter, @aibra, @esren0x and @Silvaserger. There’s dozens of snippets of alpha in each episode.🎯 4. If you enjoy nonstop Fantasy Top strategy, the best hive mind in all of the game lives within the @NewBlastCity Discord (we’re chatting 7 days a week). This is not just my opinion. There are 100+ members who have collectively won 300k+ gold, 11000+ packs, and 50+ ETH since TGE. Just in the past 2 weeks, NBC members took 8 1st places in Reverse, 2 1st places in Bronze, a 1st in Silver, and 5 other top 10s.💰🧠 PS if you own an NBC NFT and play FT, @thegolden_eel is a boss and community leader who pays out gold matches each month. Don’t miss the free gold.🪙 ---------- Next, here's the state of the game 1. One of the games’ greatest innovations is the introduction of fragments🃏 I wrote my original thoughts on the fragments launch, here: x.com/FantasyTopHuds…. It has outperformed my expectations. Kudos to the team of @travisbickle0x, @0xmikado, @0xKipit 👏 PS I’m sure you’re already in the @Fantasy_Top Discord. If you're not, you’re missing out. The mods have patience of saints, from all of us asking wen tactics rewards about 15,000 times per day.📿 PPS You should share this post by @710_eth so the compounding can max out for the FT community this year: x.com/710_eth/status… 2. League Difficulty a. I measure the difficulty of a league by the ability to make it ITM (In The Money) to win at least 100 fragments. I think this is the best strategy, because you want your cards won to compound into more decks and more cards won. b. That means that making it ITM is Elite (~55%) > Gold (~30%) > Silver (~12%) > Reverse (~6%) > Bronze (~2%). c. I have PRINTED in Elite. First with 5 common decks. Then 1 rare and 4 common decks. Now I continue to print with 1 rare 4 strong common decks. My biggest advantage in playing Elite is that there are no caps on stars. Y’all are trying to play chess each week in Silver and Gold. I’m fine with playing checkers in Elite.♟️ I only enter Bronze when the HUD shows me solid 18 star lineups. I only enter Reverse when the HUD shows me solid AFKs/Privates/Suspended lineups. Speaking of suspended...👀 3. Hero Prices a. Mitch and Franklin still held their value when they were suspended, because of Reverse League. I personally thought Mitch would be gone forever and was originally excited by the swap for another 8 star hero. But with each week, he has lost value (stars) in Reverse. If you’re still holding him, you’re no longer compounding with a top cost common. 📉 I sold my Mitch, because it allowed me to pick up another @icobeast 🐺 IcoBeast is working NOW. Mitch is on a to-do list of priorities. As a startup founder, I can tell you that it wasn’t going to be a fast fix, as Mitch complaints from holders are minimal. The team has bigger baguettes to bake.🥖 For Franklin, I thought he’d be back, but as soon as his stars bottomed out, it was time to sell.💲 b. Why have I started sweeping heroes and gaining large % ownership positions in their supply? Put simply, many heroes are MAJORLY MISPRICED.🧐 How did I arrive at this conclusion, and why @TheFlowHorse, @icobeast, and @frankdegods as first 3? As we’ve started working on the @FantasyTopHuds 2nd product, a Trader/Marketplace tool, I dove into data differently than almost everyone else. Step 1⃣ I find the most consistent heroes within the Fantasy Top HUD. The most consistent heroes are those with similar True and Trending EVs. Step 2⃣ I determine how often their stars have changed, and then look at their current supply as a market cap, and current inflation degree. Step 3⃣ I add ratios and current floor prices between their rarities. By step 3, I see arbitrage opportunities. This is fun if you’re flipping/trading, but I’m thinking long-term, so I move to Step 4. Step 4⃣ I build the algo that sorts the most consistent heroes by market cap, % available in marketplace, their tag within the HUD (i.e. politics tag isn’t exciting right now, but News/Content is), and their current price discrepancy between peers. Step 5⃣ I build out their EV of scores over the next 4 weeks. If it hits above a certain threshold of points, I then see if their price trend matches it. If it already does, they’re likely priced in. If it doesn’t, then the hero is mispriced. If the hero is mispriced by > 100% according to my math, that’s when I’m sweeping and taking a position. While they hopefully appreciate toward that 100% gain this year, they’re also put to work in printing fragments for me every week.💵 ---- I hold 12 copies of Horse (6% of total supply), with a cost basis of .04 per card. Floor is now .049. +22.5% in 14 days.💰💰 ---- I hold 12 copies of IcoBeast (6.5% of total supply), with a cost basis of .112 per card. Floor is now .155. +38% in 7 days.💰💰💰💰 ---- I hold 12 copies of Frank (2% of total supply), with a cost basis of .035 per card. Floor is now .11. +214% in 1 day.💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 ---- I posted all of these trades in the past: x.com/MooneyMillions… I'll be on the search for hero #4 later in January. 4. ELO a. If you checked out ClaytonMooney.com, you know I’m uber competitive. It’s because if I enjoy something, I’m going to obsess over it. If someone has created an incredible product, or in this case a game, I want to show the team I care, by providing feedback as a customer. I expect the same from my thousands of customers and partners. I also learn 10x more from negative feedback than I do with positive feedback.❌ b. When the FT team introduced ELO, I wasn’t sure how it’d fit, and how quickly they can prove its worth. c. In the short term, it’s great to have the claimable rewards baked in, and to ease into the top % of a league a player must reach, to gain ELO points. d. In the long term, I’m hoping for a “tournament of champions” or exclusive tournaments for top ranked players in each tier. I also think it’d be incredible to create tactics hero positions of top players from each tier who opt in.🙋‍♂️ e. I didn’t think there’d be a mid term solution, but the WL/AL/Airdrop for top players or volume players is amazing. I expect these opportunities to be worth 5 figures to players throughout the next year.🪂 5. The Company Trajectory a. I am not an investor and have no inside info on the company’s recent raise or cap table. I wrote about my thoughts on their recent seed round and V2 launch here: x.com/MooneyMillions… b. If the team has 12 months of expenses after Blast Phase 2 wraps up (when we should assume gold is gone), here are some things I’d be curious to see executed upon, to ensure profitability is met. 💡If you reach profitability as a company, you have the leverage. Venture capital is rocket fuel. Rocket fuel can and often will accelerate a company toward blowing up on launch pad, blowing up before escaping the atmosphere, or running out when you end up in space and off course. A well executed TGE could give the FT team (and cap table) maximum leverage in this market. 💡The team being able to airdrop fragments is big. The platform’s deposit from exchange or other wallet feature is big. So when someone shows up via one of these functions, where should they start? Currently any gamer with a league mindset should naturally lean toward Bronze league. But look above at its ITM %. It’s the hardest league to win more cards from. The team needs to define what their top of funnel game is, and then accept what their current CAC (customer acquisition cost) is for it. Then try to make the CAC = 1 player as consistently as possible. 💡I think on demand tactics is a great step for the game. I think payout should be closer to only top 30%, and there should be $5 through $20 tactics, just like there are for poker sit-and-goes. While I think the team intended tactics to be for beginning players, it’s the highest variance game (1 day to guess a hero score) and should be positioned for whale and grinder players. How can you make that clear? Implement a rakeback program. This post is a little outdated, but a rakeback program similar to Pokerstars’ Supernova program from many years back would be awesome. I’ve played 300+ tactics. If the rake were clear and the rakeback program existed, I’m playing 3000+ tactics this year. I think I would overall be a winner in the 10%-15% ROI range, and the rakeback is a nice sized bonus for anyone who thinks in terms of farming for airdrops. x.com/MooneyMillions… 💡Ending on a selfish note. When @socialsin & I had the opportunity to launch @FantasyTopHUDs, we had an incredible community (NBC!) ready to test and help us evolve it into a tool that helps any player find the right hero for any deck and any league. 🔭 Now it’s out there and into the world, used by almost 200 players as of posting this. 🙏 I think that the Player HUD ultimately should live within Fantasy Top. SocialSin is a rare combination of artist and dev. He could contribute A LOT to the functionality and UX. 🎨 For me, I want on the cap table. If the Player HUD lived within the game, it’s instantly a new revenue stream for FT. Charge players a scaling cost of 100-1000 fragments per month as a subscription. Scale the accessibility/features like we have between the Free Player HUD and Pro Player HUD. Phew. If you read all of this, I salute you. Good Luck. Have Fun. Keep Practicin’.🤠

Trust in Trust: ➡️ Wanted to shout out @Degen__Ape__ and how he’s managed his $TRUST AI agent project so far ➡️ Every day he announces something new and is the only founder I know who puts his personal income into token buybacks and LPs ➡️ The agent itself is interesting, he trained it to trade tokens just like he would. The trading can also farm Hyperliquid passively for holders ➡️ He’s also hyper available and responds to everyone quickly ➡️ I’d love to see more devs take inspiration from him ➡️ The token’s been up only price wise so dunno where it goes from here, but even if it went to zero I’d back his next venture 100%

I don't know anything about the AI agent meta, but Degen Ape crushes it on Blast every week and if this is his project I'm in

@jrugss @blast Great post! Just a heads-up: @ThrusterFi is now hosting some of the best yield sources for LPs, with the sUSDe/USDB pool hitting an impressive 63%. Rewards hit gold and beyond with multiple assets. x.com/ThrusterIntern…
Thruster Intern@ThrusterIntern

Fresh estimates show that the @ethena' yield + 35x sats multiplier is landing at a solid 63% APR for sUSDe/USDB LPs on @ThrusterFi. Here’s how: With the current expansion of sUSDe, projections show 26T sats will be issued by the end of S3. If $ENA holds at $1.06, these SATS will exceed $795M in value at $ENA prices * 5% token supply (as in S1/S2). Based on this valuation, @ThrusterFi + @hyperlockfi's sUSDe/USDB gives a 38% APR in yield from their 35x sats multiplier. This is well above the market’s implied yield benchmark for similar sats on Pendle! With yield in sats, sUSDe interest rate, $THRUST + $HYPER emissions, and Blast Gold, your total APR reaches an estimated 63% for LPs on Thruster and exclusively on @Blast! Intern calculations are based on certain assumptions, so DYOR NFA! x.com/ThrusterIntern…

Blast Farming Mid-Season update (Gold-320K) As @blast tvl continues to be down only, I have not bridged out and continue to use the dapps i like. Total gold for the 6 month period amounts to around 320k. I understand the negativity around Blast, mainly owing to tokenomics at TGE (vesting) but one thing that we all know is that @PacmanBlur is one of the best builders in the space (look at @blur_io ). I also believe he is nimble and would have definitely learned from previous errors. The mobile app is scheduled to launch in Jan + new tokenomics are expected shortly. Earning gold has never been easier and even assuming 1 gold at 25c, the airdrop might be quite decent (provided u arent retarded and dont lose eth farming) The dapps that i primarily use are @fantasy_top_ (in conjuction with @huddle_wtf ) , @blastr_xyz , @scorefam_io (since i love sports betting) and a bit of @BaselineMarkets and @FenixFinance Plan is to continue passively earning blast gold while at the same time focus on the @HyperliquidX ecosystem, Abstract and @berachain

Ok, let me address all the issues which people seem to be misunderstanding. Was a little disappointed yesterday when someone accused me of airdropping to "insiders" instead of the community, so here is the actual thing: There are 3 main requirements to get the airdrop: 1- Being supportive/loyal to the project: Buying from day 1 and holding all the way here, is NOT supportive. Buying at top and holding to floor, is NOT supportive. Being top 20 or top 1, is NOT supportive. You are having strong hands, I am appreciating that, but it means you are a good investor, not a good community member. So wtf is a "supportive" Ape? Why don't you just list all the requirements to get the airdrop? Because I don't want this one to be farmable. When there is "free money", there are active farmers. And with all due respect, farmers are money oriented, and they can go a long way to get their target, and if they fail due to the strict filter, I will also have to deal with a lot of complaints as well. In short term, it will help this project in engagement, mindshare. In long term, I am going to have a hard time filtering out farmers, and good community members may miss their chance for some good money. Tldr; Being supportive. And don't ask what is "supportive" 2- Small holders first, medium and big holders later. Why? Because small holders are the ones who need these. Since their money is limited, they usually don't have enough conviction. This can boost their conviction. So why locked and require 100k to redeem then, Ape? Because I don't want some smart ass to do the "sell first redeem later" after they get the airdrop. First it makes unnecessary selling pressure on the orderbook, second I don't reward jeeters. 3- Where is the money from? $TRUST comes from my Dev wallet. People seem to misunderstand this, so I am making it clear. $TRUST in my wallet is my money, it is not community money, I spent 1000 Virtual at first for this. On the other hand, weekly Fantasy reward, $ENA and $BLAST airdrops are project's money, I pitched to you guys that I will fund this to the $TRUST ecosystem, so I am doing that. 4- It is supposed to be fun. Honestly it is, I was trying to make things clear when announcing the airdrop: - If you are not in this time, you may get it the next 4 times. - This is not farmable. - If you bought after this announcement, you are not qualified. There are people who forgot to fill the form, I dm them to get their address. There are people who don't know about the form, I dm them so they know. There are people who think they are not qualified, I dm them to get their wallet. 5- Why Collab: It is the easiest solution for token-gating. A lot of big projects are using them, they are here for a long time. And I also suggest people to transfer 100k to a dump wallet so you can connect stress-free. 6- Why filling form? Again, it is the easiest way to get people's wallets without doxing them. Google is good, so no worry about security. Will update this to the $TRUST guide later.

Dude look, i’m not here to argue, I love what you’re doing in general, hence why i’m a top 20 holder. But terms of this are vague, filling forms is suboptimal at best, just like collabland for verification ( tons of problems with hardware wallets and in general an unnecessary attack vector ) “medium and small holders” doesn’t mean much either. Precise thresholds. Clean datasets. And a system that doesn’t require constant checks and being terminally online. I don’t even care about the airdrop per se, at all. I just have seen great projects fall through the cracks of simingly mundame shit way too many times, and optics matter too. So here I am with my two sats. Take it as you wish.
