Quit airdrops after burning out from poor returns. Now I help non-coders work less by building Portable AI Systems that automate the work you hate.

I can't count the number of hours I wasted reading through senseless drama on this app.

Twitter keeps feeding us with cheap dopamine hits so we'll continue staying on the platform, so it's up to us to mute aggressively.

Clear your mind by ignoring the noise.

Outthink AI by becoming a Signal Creator.

And it’s not that hard either:

Try cool things and share your results, even if they’re failures.

Authenticity leads to trust, and trust leads to long-term success.

A testnet that can be easily botted will likely be overdiluted unless some Sybil criteria are used.

I would only choose to go hard on a testnet if they meet these criteria:

❍ An incentivised campaign is launched that prioritises on-chain tasks ❍ A barrier to entry exists

When I'm losing my motivation to continue in this space, I go back to question why I'm still here.

I don't want insane wealth, I just want freedom to do whatever I want. And I believe airdrops will get me there.

The meta is now low-volume, high-impact actions that save you time

2025 would have been a 'lost year' for me if I just looked at profits.

But it feels more like a coming-of-age year where we learnt how to navigate the noise in this age of infinite content.

Honing your judgment, even through losses, will be the key to surviving 2026 and beyond.

Sharing opinions is scary because there will be haters who dunk on you.

I've faced multiple overly emotional backlashes, but I've learnt the best way is to ignore them.

Focus on those who resonate with your takes and connect with them instead of stressing over toxic comments.

You keep wondering why nobody follows you, but here's the brutal truth:

No one cares about you if you sound exactly like AI.

Information is everywhere, so the only edge left is your taste.

That’s what your followers come back for, not another generic “how-to” thread.

I skip projects with Yapper leaderboards since they choose to reward farming.

They advertise their rewards and 'force' us to grind out mindless content just to rank up on the leaderboard.

Projects that encourage short-term hype do not last long.

InfoFi stops accounts from speaking out against projects for fear of losing their allocations.

Everyone would only share overly positive posts, and we need to be more critical to see through all the noise.

Paid ads are everywhere.

Most people think airdrops are “worse" this cycle because of InfoFi and bad market conditions.

But they’re worse because teams choose to reward attention instead of real alignment.

You can’t build long-term ecosystems with short-term incentives.

The key to winning in airdrops:

Focus on being someone that projects can't help but to reward.

That's done by building real influence through the value we provide.

The only metric that can't be gamed for airdrops is value.

Follower counts or transactions don't count.

But real value does.

Those who consistently provide it will get noticed.

Less focus on effort, more focus on exposure.

❍ Many grind airdrops without talking about it and miss out ❍ Airdrops reward reputation now ❍ Say what you did to grow luck surface area

If no one knows you exist, you're just another Sybil.

I'm tired of the perp DEX meta.

These airdrops dominate the timeline, but it's a losing battle.

For bad traders like me, it's -EV to burn fees just for a chance to get tokens.

Leverage is normalised on CT, but we can choose not to use it.

Every post, every onchain action, every valuable contribution:

They all increase your luck surface area.

The airdrops game is just outsmarting Sybils:

Finding ways to give value to a project and get rewarded for it.

The project gets to decide how valuable our contributions are (and not us).

So we do what we can to cover all bases (and hope for the best).

If you want better airdrops:

❍ Build your onchain footprint ❍ Build your social proof ❍ Build your luck surface area

You don’t wait for luck. You engineer it.

The worst airdrops are those that use point systems with known criteria.

They invite farmers to extract all the value and overdilute everyone's allocations.

That's why I prefer retroactive airdrops, where no one knows the criteria until the announcement.

Farming airdrops harder in this age is a recipe for failure.

There are so many opportunities out there, but judgment is how we filter out those that give us the ROI on our time and capital.

Of all the skills we build with airdrops, judgment is the most important one.

Everyone thinks the key to airdrops is grinding harder.

But it’s not.

The true skill to win airdrops is judgment.

Knowing which airdrops to skip helps to save both your time and capital on low returns.

I thought I'd never build a Mini App, but I did it without understanding 99% of the code.

Here's a full guide on how I built it out:

The most valuable skill to develop for airdrops is not LP-ing or looping.

Judgment lets you decide what airdrops are worth your time, and which ones you should skip.

Time is precious, so don't waste it on projects that give a low ROI.

Not the most groundbreaking app, but I built this Farcaster/Base mini app to prove I could create an app even with zero coding experience.

All purely through LLMs and video tutorials on YouTube, but there's so much more to learn.

The inevitable truth about creating content:

Others will copy your posts, with some being so lazy that they'll do it word-for-word.

But who says it matters more than what is being said.

Build a reputation by sharing your authentic thoughts online, not copying someone else.

It's cringe to see how news outlets post dopamine-driven content for engagement.

Everyone does this, but it has zero value.

It's a waste of mental capacity to consume these posts, so I mute them to cleanse my feed.

Don't let the algo dictate what posts you see on your timeline.

Actively curate your feed by muting:

❍ Dopamine bait ❍ Fake giveaways ❍ AI slop

Take control of your feed and force the algo to give you alpha.

Most think that the more you scroll on social media, the more alpha you get.

But that is useless if your feed is full of dopamine.

Creators don't have to be slaves to the algo.

It's great for content discovery, but we can't rely on it alone.

So I'm aiming to build an algo-resistant brand:

Create content so good that others will actively search for my posts, instead of waiting for the algo to share it.

I used to think that the most profitable strategy for testnets is to spam transactions.

But times have changed.

Now, the top allocations will go to those who:

❍ Test only what's worth testing ❍ Give quality feedback ❍ Provide real value (instead of vanity metrics)

I saw the same ‘BREAKING’ tweet about Stripe’s announcement posted by different accounts, and it’s so boring.

These get the most engagement but give zero value.

AI will outcompete you as they’ll eventually post it faster than you and get the most engagement.

Most creators want to grow fast.

So they:

❍ Spam AI slop ❍ Chase leaderboard rankings ❍ Sell trust for quick cash grabs

But here's the real trick:

Grow slow and build trust.

Let monetisation chase you instead of the other way around.

Small creators will stay as small creators if they think they're small creators.

Everyone has their own path to forge, so there's no point comparing yourself with others.

Look to give value and share authentic thoughts to win the InfoFi game (even when you have no results now).

I’ve not done much for Linea in a while, except for doing these daily spins to push some transactions.

Unlike Plume, this is completely free and I just have to pay $0.04 in gas per spin.

We get an extra spin by swapping on Linea Hub (with exposure to LiFi). https://x.com/LineaBuild/status/1952754351945945203

Some advice to any creator:

Monetise without breaking trust.

There are so many opportunities available now, but it doesn't mean you have to talk about every single one.

Pairing with the wrong project could destroy your reputation.

OneBalance is a modular play that many are sleeping on.

Why retroactive airdrops are my favourite:

There are no known criteria on how to qualify for it.

So it can't be gamed as easily as those with a points leaderboard.

Surprise airdrops are usually underfarmed and give better ROI just by rewarding your footprint.

Everyone wants a piece of the “free money” glitch. Protocols used to give away tokens freely to anyone who met basic criteria. But that strategy no longer works.

That took them long enough.

KiloEx is probably the last perp DEX I have exposure to that has not tokenised yet.
