“I missed variational and hate seeing other people happy and succeeding so instead of using the extended points timeline to catch up I’m just going to fud and claim it’s all a scam” - many many people this morning
🎯
What I'm Actively Farming in 2025:
@HyperliquidX - app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/BLU…
There has never been and will never be another airdrop as good as Hyperliquid. What will be the next Hyperliquid? Hyperliquid.
It's blown my mind to see how bad other teams still execute airdrops since the HYPE playbook was established. This is mostly due to greed and the fact that with investors, they simply can't do it like HL did.
Hyperliquid still has 39% saved away for future rewards/seasons. That's more than the 31% they airdropped for Season 1.
This is the most important farm imo, and it's simply a good product. Use it like a normal person, perp trading, play around on the EVM, etc., and I'm certain it will be worth it. If i could only ever farm/use one thing, it would be Hyperliquid.
@extendedapp - app.extended.exchange/join/B…
I shifted my focus to perp dexes after Hyperliquid, as I'm sure many others did. Main reasons are, L2's are diluted, other defi stuff (lend, swap, bridge, etc.) don't raise/give enough away, and perp dexes actually make money. That (and alpha from a friend) brought me to Extended.
Not going to advertise it as some sort of Hyperliquid replacement, but I genuinely think the UI, trading experience and team is great.
The biggest thing is that points are only just launching this week, and total volume traded is pretty low. Liquidity and spreads need work, but that's one of the costs of being early. Hoping this will be similar to Hyperliquid in that we can earn a lot of points early, and it catches on and gains traction later.
@variational_io (Omni)
I was approached by the Omni/Variational team soon after Hyperliquid as well (disclosure: I am not paid and/or have a partnership with them).
There are many teams who claim to want to be like Hyperliquid in terms of how much they give to the community, but Variational is one of the only ones I believe. They've already publicly said 50% is going to the community, which leads me to believe a large portion will go to airdrop 1 and beyond.
This one is in private mainnet right now, but fortunately, I might be able to get the team to let you in if you're interested. Reply here or DM and I'll set you up. I'll also post an update when it's live to the public. Like extended, this presents an opportunity to be very early.
@ResolvLabs - app.resolv.xyz/ref/blur
In the past I didn't really have many stables, I was either all-in or preferred having cash in the bank. The market is different now, and for that reason, I always keep some stables on-hand.
Resolv is the only place I'm currently putting these to work when they're not in use. I'm holding their USR stable on Base. You can use USR in defi for extra yield, although I like to have mine as liquid as possible. Ethena is much larger than I first realized and was a great unexpected cook. I'm hoping Resolv can mimic this surprise, even to a lesser extent.
If you're holding stables, it's a no-brainer to keep some of them in Resolv. Also, with my link + being a Hyperliquid user + the current Grand Epoch, you can get a 55% points boost.
@monad_xyz
People have mixed feelings on Monad due to the telegram chat viewed as too exclusive + community is a meme + just another blockchain narrative, but I've been in the telegram for years, so I'm making sure to be as involved as I can.
TG members have a clear advantage here imo, so I understand if this isn’t something you want to spend too much time on. I'm simply playing around with testnet for now and staying active in the chats and on socials.
Base - Abstract - Hyperlane - Jumper (LayerZero 2 / Wormhole 2 / Relay)
While I'm not as bullish on airdrops as I once was, there are still good opportunities. I think it's more important than ever to filter out the good from the bad and farm only those you have conviction in. I'll still interact with the odd protocol every now and then, but these are the only things I'm really devoting time to these days.
API enabled while points live = metrics continue to smash new highs = treasury for buybacks snowballs. All while some likely insane new partnership is rolled out leading right into TGE. Couldn’t care less about the delay. This team has earned my trust 10 times over. gVar
still bullish extended but stopped tweeting cause sentiment is awful & replies are annoying
not a shill so will say plainly- metrics are nuked, frustrating delays, and poor comms lately
still think it turns out good, but maybe I’m the fool. we’ll see. this is neat nonetheless
This goes thru September 24
Team has said publicly for a while points will end no later than September 30
Feeling like points end with the end of this contest. Exciting times ahead 🫡
genuinely one of the best runs I’ve seen. these guys have been absolutely cooking
figured there would be a boost on swaps, but nice to see it’s confirmed 2x + goes through the end of points (september 30 at the latest)

Hearing Revolut is actually going to integrate with Paradex, not Hyperliquid or Extended. Don’t ask for my sources because I’m not telling you (I don’t have any)
Don’t tweet about tickers cause I suck + not gay, but have a bag of $HPL I wrote off that’s up
Never understood why the token was worth so little when Hyperlend metrics kept going up. HyperEVM token curse? Bad tokenomics? Idk, maybe a smart .hl knows?
20m fdv, $600m tvl?
Idea was just that HYPE > any evm tokens, but should probably look into it more
And before anyone complains, I have a seed bag with $400 unlocked (only 4 figs locked). Just asking a question, I have no motion even if I wanted to PnD
never been the smartest person but genuinely don’t understand why variational is still being priced under $1b when lighter is nearly $3b (and hype is running like crazy). figured there’d be more otc activity buying up around ~$20 lately
never would’ve imagine when i joined crypto in 2017 that “perp dex points” would be my most valuable assets, but here we are. next few months should be very good
