4/ Emerging Sectors Beyond the top 3, three fast-growing sectors accounted for 20% of listings: • Memes: 8 projects (9%) • Bitcoin Ecosystem: 5 projects (6%) • RWAs: 4 projects (5%) The market is balancing core crypto use cases with newer, narrative-driven categories.


ZAMA AUCTION RESULTS → auction.zama.org/results - Clearing Price: $0.05 - FDV: $550M - Total raised: $44M I bid at a $500M FDV, so looks like I missed this one. Still haven’t seen the refund claim option yet. So 1 ZAMA OG NFT will get $2,000? It's not bad to me. Anyone here win their bid? Congrats!



GM CT I CAN BREAK $10,000 THIS JANUARY? I’m starting 2026 on what I’d say is a pretty favorable note So far, I’ve earned ~2,300 $LIT (~$7,000) from @Lighter_xyz airdrops and I’m still holding, haven’t sold yet (I can be dumb for this) Most of this airdrop involves trading and comes with relatively high fees, so I didn’t really share it much before Recently, @zama opened claims for ZAMA OG NFT and it’s now listed on Binance Pre-Market at ~$0.15, roughly 30× higher than the public sale price binance.com/en/futures/ZAM… → If you hold: • 1 NFT = 40,000 $ZAMA * $0.15 = $6,000 • 2 NFTs = 80,000 $ZAMA * $0.15 = $12,000 • 3 NFTs = 120,000 $ZAMA * $0.15 = $18,000 • 4 NFTs = 160,000 $ZAMA * $0.15 = $24,000 • 5 NFTs = 200,000 $ZAMA * $0.15 = $30,000 Note: This assumes a 100% unlock at TGE and no immediate price dump I only have 1 NFT so in that scenario I could potentially make another $6k from this ⇒ Total for this month = ~$13,000. Not bad for me, though that’s the best-case scenario What do you guys think that the current of $ZAMA $0.15?


ZAMA COMMUNITY SALE IS LIVE If you are an original OG NFT holder, you can now participate in Zama Community Sale: ⇒ community-sale.zama.org ◉ Key details: - Allocation: 40,000 $ZAMA per NFT - Cost: $200 (community sale price $0.005) - Current pre-market price: ~$0.07 (Binance Futures) ~14x compare the sale price ✓ Estimated value per NFT at current pre-market: ~$2,800 → Claim time: 19:00, 02/02/2026

And how many OG NFTs are you holding?

I’m truly grateful for every message, every check-in, every word of encouragement and congratulations I honestly don’t know what else to say other than: I LOVE YOU GUYS You’ve given me so much motivation to keep going through difficult times Hopefully, 2026 will bring new opportunities and better profits for all of us


GM CT Just take a deep breath and a moment to look back at everything we’ve achieved this year. ✓ 1 figs earning from airdrops ✓ 2 figs earning from airdrops ✓ 3 figs earning from airdrops ✓ 4 figs earning from airdrops ✓ 5 figs earning from airdrops ? 6 figs earning from airdrops Even in a tough market this year, I did have a few airdrops that genuinely changed my portfolio. - Nodepay: 542 $NC ~ $135 - Sosovalue: 8,130 $SOSO ~ $5,000 - WalletConnect: 110 $WCT ~ $100 - Particle Network: 4,800 $PARTI ~ $1,200 - Berachain: 588 $BERA ~ $4,700 - Story Protocol: 350 $IP ~ $2,100 - Walrus: 5,000 $WAL ~ $2,500 - Kaito: 218 $KAITO ~ $435 - PAWS: 91,386 $PAWS ~ $20 - T-RIZE: 15,560 $RIZE ~ $930 - LayerEdge: 980 $EDGEN ~ $30 - Sunrise: 106 $RISE ~ $3 - MagicNewton: 162 $NEWT ~ $60 - Mango: 1,580 $MGO ~ $30 - Succinct: 2,000 $PROVE ~ $3,000 - Sapien (from Cookie): 165 $SAPIEN ~ $30 - Linea: 44,177 $LINEA ~ $1,236 - Openledger: $2 - Cookie: $3 - Recall: 1,244 $RECALL ~ $540 - Swap: 150 $SWAP ~ $12 - Binance (Together Initiative): 800 $USDC ~ $800 - Beamable: 1,400 $BMB ~ $38 - Telegram monetization: Oct 62 $TON ~ $140, Nov 10 $TON ~ $18 → $158 ◉ Total earned: $23,062 I’m still keeping an eye on what’s coming next this year maybe @zama, maybe @Lighter_xyz and a few others. For many of us who survived 2024, 2025 honestly isn’t too terrible. But for newcomers, especially those who moved from Telegram mini app this year has been rough. Really rough! And I get it. This period is hard for everyone. But like I’ve said many times: “If you can’t change the situation, the only thing left is to adapt.” I still remember those sleepless nights grinding on-chain testnets, painful but fun. I remember when our groups exploded every time a new “check eligibility” link dropped. Now it’s mostly sighs, complaints and people already assuming “not eligible” before the link even appears. Every industry has its ups and downs. Airdrops are still here but the game has evolved, and it’s getting harder, faster and more selective. I’m still surviving because I have other income streams: my job, investments, trading… But for most people, this period is extremely difficult. > So my honest advice: Find a stable work-to-earn flow and treat airdrops as additional income, not your main income. You’ll feel far less pressure and you’ll enjoy the process more. 👍


GM CT Every now and then, when I look back, I feel grateful for Web3 and what it has given me so far 🙏 This year hasn’t been easy for most of us and I know it hasn’t been a great year overall but we’re still here, and we keep going As long as you’re still in the game, there will always be opportunities ahead The year comes to an end, I have a lot on my plate, work, family, Christmas, New Year and welcoming my new kid, so I haven’t been able to stay as active with updates lately I think this is also a good time for everyone to slow down a bit, relax during the holidays and take a moment to reflect on the past year before stepping into a new one AND NEVER FORGET TO CASH OUT


My best airdrop of the year: No whitelist. No snapshot. Still qualified Max supply: 1 Burnable: never Vesting: lifetime Token utility: keeps me awake all night



GM CT FARMING AIRDROPS STILL WORTH TODAY? A few years ago, farming airdrops was simple: Do a few tasks → Join a testnet → Wait → Collect 3-digits to 4-digits But those days are gone... Today, things look very different: > Bots everywhere, sybils flooding the chain, spam transactions nonstop and even some devs farming their own drops LOL > What used to be $25K airdrops for early users is now a few dollars split across 500,000 sybil wallets But… > That doesn’t mean the game is over. The meta has changed and anyone who doesn’t adapt gets left behind > The Game Changed, so must the Players ⇒ Airdrop farming is no longer a “click like crazy and hope for the best” game Now the winners are those who actually have an edge: > Those with clean, natural onchain footprints > Those with real social presence > Those with a trustworthy reputation > Those who know how to pick the right projects at the right time In short: Reputation is the new meta ◉ So… Is There Still Opportunity in 2025–2026? Yes. But the approach is different ✓ Build a clean onchain profile: - Use real products → interact authentically → create quality transaction history. ✓ Build your voice on social media: Share your onchain journey, real experiences, insights → build trust. ✓ Build a long-term reputation: Avoid scams, avoid meaningless engagement farming, avoid empty “yapping.” Do what you say. Stay consistent. Stay credible. In an era where AI can fake almost anything, trust is the one thing that cannot be faked and it will be the #1 filter for future airdrops. ◉ SO SHOULD YOU KEEP FARMING? It depends on you. > If you’re building reputation → yes, keep going. Quality projects will naturally gravitate toward people with strong profiles. > If you have a stronger edge elsewhere (trading, working in crypto, building a portfolio) → that might be more profitable than airdrops. > At the end of the day, if you stay consistent long enough, one big airdrop can make up for every “losing season” you’ve ever had. Are you still hunting for airdrops, my friends?

GM CT & HAPPY NEW MONTH For everyone, especially NEWBIES, here’s a quick guide to what common airdrop terms really mean in 2025–2026: > Community First = Wait for the team and VCs to dump, then it’s your turn... > Snapshot Not Taken = Snapshot was taken 6 months ago, but please keep being active so we can farm more fees from you... > Sybil Resistant = We need more tokens for ourselves, so… you’re disqualified... > Governance Token = A priceless token that lets you vote on things the team will happily ignore... > Incentivized Testnet = You’re basically an unpaid tester... > TGE Soon = Q5 2026 (maybe)... > Organic Growth = Our marketing budget is exactly $0... > Points System = Just for decoration. Believe it or not, your choice... > Airdrop Claim Live = Gas fee is $150 right now... > Anti-Bot Measures = Please scan your eyeballs and give us your personal data for free... > Fair Launch = Team sniped 80% of the supply at block 0... > Bridge to L2 = Pay $30 on ETH gas to bridge $5... > Active Discord Member = Say “GM” and “WAGMI” 5,000 times like a bot... > Linear Vesting = You’ll receive $0.40 per month… for three years... > Strategic Partnership = Two dying projects retweeting each other... > Utility = Lock up your salary to earn more worthless tokens... > Roadmap Update = We’re delaying launch. Again... > KYC Required = We need more personal info to sell to a third party... > Phase 1 Complete = We ran out of money... > Ecosystem Rewards = Payments for KOLs and ads… but not for you. > Strict Eligibility Criteria = Only the team’s friends and family qualify for the airdrop... > Leaderboard = A list of people richer than you... > Mystery Box = Contains a common NFT worth $0.0001... > Early Adopter = Congrats, you became our liquidity exit... > Referral Program = Invite your friends so we can take their money too... > Gas Refund = We’ll refund you in a token that will dump 99%... > DAO Vote = Whales with 1M tokens decide everything anyway... > Surprise / Random Airdrop = Sent to 10 wallets. The 11th one belongs to the dev... Do you guys have any other terms? Feel free to share them with everyone! LoL


I’ve been keeping track of how much I’ve earned from #airdrops since the beginning of the year 2025: - Nodepay: 542 $NC ~$135 - Sosovalue: 8,130 $SOSO ~$5,000 - WalletConnect: 110 $WCT ~$100 - Particle Network: 4,800 $PARTI ~$1,200 - Berachain: 588 $BERA ~$4,700 - Story Protocol: 350 $IP ~$2,100 - Walrus: 5,000 $WAL ~$2,500 - Kaito: 218 $KAITO ~$435 - PAWS: 91,386 $PAWS ~$20 - T-RIZE: 15,560 $RIZE ~$930 - LayerEdge: 980 $EDGEN ~$30 - Sunrise: 106 $RISE ~$3 - MagicNewton: 162 $NEWT ~$60 - Mango: 1,580 $MGO ~$30 - Succinct: 2,000 $PROVE ~$3,000 - Sapien (from Cookie): 165 $SAPIEN ~$30 - Linea: 44,177 $LINEA – ~$???? ✅ Total: ~$20,273 I realized I didn’t hit as many big ones as others and probably just equal to one or two wins of a top Yapper 😥 but still, my honest work. I’m happy with this 🫡 🎯 Note: This doesn’t include Binance Alpha, trading, or investing yet.


NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE, THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE FROM INDIA WHO’S EVEN BETTER It just shows how huge India is and how their people show up in every field Yesterday, X launched the new location feature and suddenly my feed was flooded with accounts showing they’re from India, which honestly makes total sense given their population size A bunch of project accounts also revealed their locations And of course, along with that came the usual wave of country-based discrimination toward Indians, Pakistanis, Nigerians, Vietnamese, Chinese and many others Personally, I don’t think that’s a good thing at all Even if a country has a bad reputation, or its people are judged unfairly on the global stage, it doesn’t mean everyone there is like that For me, I’ll always respect people for who they are, no matter where they come from At the end of the day, CT has always been about merit, not nationality or skin color X’s new feature might be interesting, but the reaction it’s triggering right now is actually not very positive when it comes to racism


MONAD ON COINBASE @coinbase officially launched its first-ever IEO today and the debut project is @monad $MON ➥ Token sale link: advanced.coinbase.com/join/QFCN4JL ● Here are the key details you need to know before joining the IEO: Monad is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain designed for high throughput, scalability, and low transaction fees. The project has completed 3 funding rounds and raised a total of $244M from top-tier investors such as @cbventures, @paradigm, @dragonfly_xyz, @OKX_Ventures and others. In its Series A round (April 2024), Monad was valued at $3B FDV. ● IEO Structure: - Total supply: 100B $MON - Tokens sold in IEO: 7.5B $MON (7.5% of supply) - IEO price: $0.025 per token → Equivalent to raising $187.5M → IEO FDV: $2.5B - TGE: November 24, 2025 - Initial unlocked supply at TGE: 49.3% - Public sale: 7.5% - Airdrop: 3.3% - Ecosystem Development: 38.5% - Allocation per user: $100 - $100,000 ● Sale mechanism: Smaller deposits get priority. Users who deposit the lowest amounts (minimum $100) are allocated first, ascending until all 7.5B $MON are sold. ● Sale period: 14:00 UTC Nov 17 → Nov 22, 2025 Current price on Binance Pre-Market: $0.048 ◉ My take: - This IEO, I will join it. The only real concern is the large token share held by the team at TGE whether they dump & exit or hold & build is something only insiders truly know. - Also, joining early should help secure priority for future Coinbase IEOs. (This is what I'm expecting for, $BASE???) This is just shared for info - NFA and always DYOR, fam


gZAMA, happy weekend all! It looks like we’re getting closer to OG ZAMA NFT claim. ➥ Link: zama.ai/nft/og (Claim is not live yet) I already won luckily ZAMA OG NFT in Season 1 and kept posting about ZAMA afterward not because I was trying to win again in Season 2 or 3, just genuinely supporting the mission. You can check some of my @zama_fhe posts here: x.com/nghianeo/statu… x.com/nghianeo/statu… x.com/nghianeo/statu… x.com/nghianeo/statu… x.com/nghianeo/statu… They also mentioned a potential TGE in Q4, so close! For Season 3, there are 1000 OG slots from #ZamaCreatorProgram, which means more opportunities but also far more people joining this time. Good luck to everyone aiming for it!


GM CT US government shuts down = Dump US government reopens = Dump Rate cuts = Dump No rate cuts = Dump ETF inflows = Dump ETF outflows = Dump Gold and silver rise = Dump US stocks go up = Dump US stocks go down = Dump Even the most bullsh ones are turning pessimistic, fearing that the crypto winter from late 2021 to late 2022 might be making a comeback 🥲 Mcdonald, I'm coming...


COMPLETE KYC TASK ON IDOS NETWORK giDOS Recently, @idOS_network added a new KYC task, but the Proof of Address requirement was a big problem for many of us. Not ez to complete it before. But they listened the community. They just rolled out KYC Basic. It’s a much easier way to get verified, no need to upload a utility bill, rental agreement, or any other PoA. A lot of people got stuck before, but now you can skip that step and still pass KYC. Here’s what you get: • Faster KYC with fewer steps • +100 points instantly • Still eligible for all events & campaigns You can do it now. I completed it.
