'Life Onchain' Journal ~ Vol. 9 My current airdrop tier list Been spending a lot of time onchain, so I figured I'd share how I'm ranking the projects on my own watchlist right now Not based on hype alone. I'm looking at what they're building, whether I actually use them and if the effort still makes sense -----------------⋆⊛⋆-------------------- S TIER ~ Highest conviction ⊳ @jumperapp ~ I use Jumper almost every day to bridge and swap across chains. The Jumper Pass rewards actual activity. For me, this is a product worth using even without a future airdrop ⊳ @bulktrade ~ Building a high-performance perpetuals exchange with an onchain order book. If they can deliver the trading experience they’re aiming for, I see serious potential here ⊳ @base ~ I've been active here since 2024. The ecosystem is huge, and my onchain history gives me a reason to keep following it. A token or airdrop is not guaranteed -----------------⋆⊛⋆-------------------- A TIER ~ Strong interest ⊳ @Polymarket ~ Prediction markets are becoming a real part of crypto. I like the idea of trading probabilities around real-world events, and the product already has a clear use case ⊳ @ExponentFinance ~ One of my favorite yield plays on Solana. Fixed-rate markets, PT/YT strategies and actual opportunities to put capital to work ⊳ @hylo_so ~ I'm following the leverage-token side closely and building exposure gradually. The product interests me beyond a possible drop ⊳ @Loopscale ~ Lending and borrowing with more control over rates and collateral. I’ve been exploring its looping strategies, and I like the flexibility it brings to Solana DeFi ⊳ @onrefinance ~ Bringing reinsurance-related yield onchain is a different approach from the usual DeFi incentives, and that's exactly what interests me ⊳ @Titan_Exchange ~ On my higher-conviction watchlist. Still want to see execution before committing more time. ⊳ @inkonchain ~ Kraken's DeFi-focused L2 I want to keep on my radar as onchain activity develops -----------------⋆⊛⋆-------------------- B TIER ~ Selective / watchlist ⊳ @Polymer_Labs ~ Cross-chain infrastructure is worth watching, but I'm selective with the time I put into it ⊳ @monetrix_xyz ~ I like the idea of yield strategies connected to Hyperliquid, but I'm keeping it in B tier while I see how they develop -----------------⋆⊛⋆-------------------- E TIER ~ No words needed ⊳ @opensea ~ At this point, the airdrop feels more like a myth than a reward. Maybe one day we'll actually see it... -----------------⋆⊛⋆-------------------- These are my personal tiers, not a prediction of who will launch a token or reward users I've also learned to reassess things when the tokenomics or incentives change. Sometimes the best move is to stop farming What would you move up or down ( or add ) ?

'Life Onchain' Journal ~ Vol. 11 Building my Pokémon TCG vault, one pack at a time Been slowly building my Pokémon vault through @MNSTR, mainly by opening $50 packs Nothing crazy. Just a little DCA experiment combining two things I enjoy... Pokémon and being onchain Here's where I'm at after 15 packs ⤵︎ ⊳ 14 × $50 packs ⊳ 1 × $100 pack (my 10th opening) ⊳ Total of $800 spent ⊳ Current estimated vault value is $1,139 ( at the time of writing ) ⊳ 15 graded cards collected That puts my vault around $339 above what I've spent, based on the platform's estimated values My three best pulls so far ⤵︎ ⊳ Donphan Reverse Foil ~ PSA 8 ( $188 ) ⊳ Sylveon ex SAR ~ PSA 10 ( $157.50 ) ⊳ Wartortle IR ~ CGC 8.5 ( $149 ) And the funny part ? All three came from the $50 packs I'm not treating the estimated vault value as realized profit. Selling prices can be lower, and future packs could easily go the other way But so far, I've really enjoyed building this collection one pack at a time

'Life Onchain' Journal ~ Vol. 10 Well, that didn't take long Just a few days ago, I shared that I was getting active on @Incentiv_net again And now ? I've decided to stop Thanks to @quang250802 for bringing the tokenomics to my attention Here's what caught my eye ⤵︎ ⊳ 26% allocated to community rewards ⊳ 0% unlocked at TGE ⊳ A 60-month release schedule To be clear, that's the schedule for the community allocation, not necessarily the vesting period for every individual user But it still made me rethink whether continuing is worth my time I've been involved with Incentiv for quite a while, and my current stats aren't bad either ⤵︎ ⊳ Rank #1,774 ⊳ 7,918 XP ⊳ 980.99 CENT reserved With $CENT trading around $0.0022 ( at the time of writing ) those reserved tokens would be worth roughly $2 at that price Of course, that could change. And we still don't know exactly how individual rewards will be distributed But that's not really the point I've already spent a lot of time here, and I don't feel like spending even more without a clearer reason to do so So I'm stepping away from Incentiv No hate towards the team. Just making a decision based on the information I have today Sometimes being active onchain also means knowing when to stop
