Just use Jupiter!

XTEN, finally... 👀

Put 3k USDC in. I already trade on TxFlow every week, so it made sense to have some idle USDC working there too. Market making and liquidations, 100% of the returns to depositors. I'll share how it goes. Are you in?

TxFlow Epoch 1 points are in. 1,185 points. Top 3.89%. 1.25M points went to 5,858 accounts. That's around 213 each, so I landed at about 5.5x the average. Did 600k volume with 60k OI. NVDA hedged between TxFlow and RiseX. Calm week, no crazy size. Season 0 retro points come Oct 27. They pushed it back another week, so that one's still pending. For Epoch 2 I'll push a bit harder. How many did you get?

GM! First thing I check every morning is funding rates, then my lemon, ginger and turmeric shot. What's yours?

RiseX Epoch 13 done. 36 epochs left. 158.6 points. 2,730.2 total. 758k volume. About a quarter of last week's volume. Last week I said the plan was to chill a bit, and that's what I did. Full DN with TxFlow on NVDA. Less volume, way more relaxed, and I took advantage of the points boost. This week I'm testing the 10% points boost on XRP with a similar setup. Moderate volume with TWAP orders so I don't have to open every trade by hand. Then I close a few hours or a day later, looking for some profit or positive funding. That way I get volume and keep OI open over time. I share my strategies every week and I'll keep testing new stuff. If you've never gotten an airdrop, this is a chill way to start. Follow me and check what works.

TxFlow Epoch 1 drops today. Been refreshing the points page all morning lol

Confirmed. TxFlow retro points drop Oct 20. Gotta make the most of these weeks. OI already went crazy, pic below. But keep positioning before all the capital rotates out. If you farmed the hidden season, the job's already half done. Don't get comfy.

RiseX Epoch 12 done. 37 epochs left. 601.2 points. 2,571.6 total. 2.755M volume. +3 Lighter points on Robinhood. I changed my strategy COMPLETELY this week. Before, I was using RiseX to hold OI with Lighter on Robinhood. Almost free farming. But TxFlow's hidden season was about to end and they banned farming between related pairs like XAU and XAUT. So I switched to active farming between TxFlow and RiseX. That's where the 2.7M volume comes from. Lighter on Robinhood is still running delta neutral on indexes with Arcus. QQQ. SPY. Now that TxFlow's hidden season is over, the plan is to chill a bit. The first 4 weeks are probably when most of the volume happens. But Season 1 ends in Q1 2027. That's 6 months of farming, so you need to have a clear plan. Will people keep going hard the whole time and the first weeks are worth pushing? Or will everyone slow down in a month like what happened with Pacifica? I asked some friends and opinions are split. What do you think?

TxFlow Season 1 is LIVE!!! Started TODAY. Oct 12. They just updated the rules after community feedback. Here's how it works now. Quick version. Every week is one epoch. Monday to Monday, UTC time. Points drop the Tuesday after each epoch ends. First epoch drop is Oct 20. Season 0 points are coming BEFORE OCT 27. That's the retroactive points for everyone who was here before the season. They're still running checks to catch farmers first. Each week there's a pool of 1,250,000 Points for traders. You get a share based on how you trade compared to everyone else that week. What COUNTS? Volume. Open interest. Fees. Capital you keep on the platform. Trading consistently over time. Referrals. Maker and taker both count. And volume is just ONE part of it. They look at the overall quality of your trading. What DOESN'T? Spot. Prediction markets. Orders you cancel before they fill. Just depositing and sitting there doesn't do anything either. Your balance and open positions only count while you're actually trading. Big news for small traders. NO ONE can take the whole pool. The scoring limits how much the biggest whales can dominate. They don't publish the formula. Wash trading and farming with multiple accounts get fewer Points or ZERO. Just trade like a real trader. DON'T try to game it. Referrals have their own pool, 152,000 points a week. It doesn't take anything from your trader Points. Whatever isn't used that week gets BURNED. Weekly drops end Q1 2027 at the latest. The earlier you start, the more weeks you farm. I already wrote down the 2 strategies I'm running for this. It's in the article below. Season just started. DON'T SLEEP ON IT!!!

Here we go!

A year ago today, on October 10, I lost 21k and almost lost 40k. Here’s what happened. I was running delta neutral trades between Backpack and another protocol to farm volume on both and stack both airdrops. At the time, lower OI pairs paid more points, so I picked SOL. What went wrong? I opened the trade on Backpack and instead of going short, I went long. While I was opening the short on the other exchange, everything crashed. Bad luck. It all happened in 20-30 seconds. I was down 5k instantly. Thought it would bounce, but it kept dumping. My mistake was panicking and adding size. I dropped my liquidation price right to where the price was sitting. Then I watched it go below my liq and somehow it didn’t liquidate me right away. I tried to fix it by sending more money to Backpack to push the liquidation price further away. I already had 21k in there and sent another 20k. Price kept falling until the liquidation actually hit. I thought I had just lost 40k+ in less than 10 minutes. I got so pissed I almost smashed the desk. In the end I got lucky. When I checked my wallet the 20k was still there. The Solana transaction had failed. That only happens when the network is completely jammed. If you use Solana daily you know how rare it is for a transfer to a protocol to fail like that. So why does the screenshot show -33k? Apparently Backpack didn’t just take all my money on the liquidation. They left my account negative because they liquidated me at $157.87 when my actual liquidation price was around $174. They filled it way lower than they should have. Still, the Backpack team covered everyone who went negative and wiped the debt without charging us anything.

I'm ready.

+$3000 Sold 50% on this pump and took my initials plus some profit on solana:CARDSccUMFKoPRZxt5vt3ksUbxEFEcnZ3H2pd3dKxYjp. Waiting for a dip to buy back. If it doesn’t correct, the 50% moonbag stays. Next level I’m waiting to sell is $0.45-$0.55. In the quoted post I laid out my whole strategy for the next cycle. A few of them already ripped since then. Backpack, CARDS, MET, JUP and SOL.

RiseX Epoch 11 done. 38 epochs left. 78.7 points. 35k volume. +3 Lighter points on Robinhood. Same trade as last week still open on QQQ and SPY. I also opened Tesla and closed it. That’s the 35k volume I did this week. Free points every week, barely any fees. If you don’t have a lot of capital, I think this is the best way to farm an airdrop without spending much. Still think the same. Anything you can farm for free, do it. You won’t get the biggest airdrop. The point is not to compare yourself with everyone else and just run your own play.

GM. GoCollect is closing. I bought their token between 300k and 450k mcap and lost $600. Woke up to $50 left. -90% instantly. I think I lost the plot a bit on stacking slowly. I’m going back to taking profits, even if they’re small.
