Thankfully I won the @RareFriendsNFT vibeathon This was such a fun project to build. Huge thanks to @poopie and @MauritsLIQD for making it happen, and to @RareFriendsNFT for giving the community a reason to create. I had so much fun building it and playing other submissions. Rare Friends really are built different

I started farming extended last year, and it looks like it might finally pay off. $XTEN is officially coming in november, with 30% of the supply going to point holders. Some interesting numbers: • total supply: 1B $XTEN • airdrop allocation: 300M tokens • max point cap: 70M • around 4.3 $XTEN per point • tokenomics & whitepaper: October 31 extended raised around $19M, including a $12.5M round backed by eToro and Jump Crypto. pretty bullish imo. Current pre-market FDV estimates are around $250–300M. My estimated point values at launch: • $150M FDV = $0.64 • $300M FDV = $1.29 • $500M FDV = $2.14 extended also has $114M TVL and a strong focus on RWA markets. still not sure how the settlement migration from starknet to ark will play out. Personally, I'm happy I started farming early last year. I eventually neglected Extended because I saw better opportunities elsewhere, especially with so many Perp DEXes launching. But I still think this could turn into a nice little stimmy for some of us.

I'm really grateful that @trenchfights_rh got featured in today's spotlight! @meta_alchemist has built something really cool that actually works. The combination of vibecoding and launchpads is exactly what I think web3, especially GameFi in my case, needs right now. Really thankful for all the support so far and excited to see where this goes!

I recognized the potential of vibecoding pretty early on and already had the chance to build some successful projects with clients in web2. Thanks to the vibe/vibe project by @meta_alchemist, I realized I could combine my passion for building with web3. After putting in countless hours of work, I'm happy to finally introduce my project @trenchfights_rh. I see vibe/vibe as the perfect opportunity to launch an MVP. Since the project is still on testnet and users can earn testnet tokens, it's a great way to get real people to actually try your product, gather valuable feedback and bootstrap a community.

I built a small Arcus point calc and exoanded it to a complete trading journal, that shows you what your points could be worth. The conversion from the tweet to the calc was way higher than I expected, so I decided to expand it and added a farming journal as well. When farming airdrops, I think it is important to rely on numbers and not just on how it feels. So with the journal you can now track your stats every week: - volume - OI - fees paid - points received This should make it much easier to see if your farming strategy is actually efficient over time. stellular-clafoutis-336787.n…

Weekly points for Arcus S1 just dropped. Around $434k in fees were generated and 250k points are distributed every week. That puts the current average cost per point at around $1.70. TGE is apparently still planned for H1 2027. If we assume roughly 40 more weeks, that would be around 10M additional points. Add the ~3M points from Season 0 and we should end up somewhere around 13M points by TGE. So imo the ROI is definitely there and like I have been saying since day one of Season 0, Arcus is worth trying. If you are already farming points, I also built a small calculator where you can estimate the value of your points under different TGE scenarios: funny-crumble-81c546.netlify…

I posted about @arcus_xyz on July 5, just days after launch, because I saw the potential early. Built by the team behind dYdX on Robinhood Chain, with Robinhood Crypto as the only publicly announced investor. The private beta has since reached $5B+ in volume across spot and perps, 15k+ traders, $500M+ peak daily volume and $25M+ TVL. Season 1 is live. My Season 0 snapshot: Gold, top 20%, rank #1,186 with $1.12M total volume. I’ve also seen traders with less than $1M in volume reach Gold, including accounts in the top 1,000. That lines up with what Arcus says in its docs: points consider how you trade, not only volume, and wash trading, self-matching or churning can reduce or wipe out points. It looks like Arcus wants useful activity, not volume for volume’s sake. Arcus currently gives one invite code for every $1M in perp volume. If all $5B counted toward that threshold, that could mean up to 5,000 codes and bring in a lot more traders. Since the $5B combines spot and perps, that’s only a theoretical ceiling. I think I’ve found a pretty solid way to approach the points program, and I’m looking forward to seeing how far it can go in Season 1.
