As explained in my post of yesterday, I've been earning some extra money by writing articles on Publish0x, and I've decided to challenge myself to see if I can turn my $100 earnings into $1,000 on the Polygon zkEVM blockchain.
Yesterday, I swapped my ETH for LINK and MATIC, and I'm happy to report that these both tokens have slightly increased in value due to bullish news on both sides - Chainlink crosschain project and Polygon 2.0 roadmap:
Today, I decided to simply swap MATIC for stMATIC in order to liquid stake MATIC and earn rewards. To do that, I simply used swap.defillama that allows to find the best swapping rates on Polygon zkEVM chain. The swap was made through OpenOcean. The only drawback is that it costs a few 10s cents, consuming a significant part of the little profit I made. However, now that I have STMATIC, I am earning rewards through the stMATIC price accrual:
That's an easy way to start earning a bit more. However, with a 4.3% APR, it will take 1 year to earn $4 on my $100, which is a low return on investment.
Therefore, I will look from tomorrow for some other ways to earn more and faster. Stay tuned & please tip/like if you want to get more insights on this!
