This Cycle a lot of people are trying to farm for airdrops, sometimes is very rewarding, sometimes you're just wasting your time.
It's very easy to lose track of what you should farm and where you should invest your time and money, and maybe you missed some.
Here are some protocols that maybe you're farming accidentally:
1. SWITCHBOARD
Switchboard is a permission-less, customizable, multi-chain oracle protocol for general-purpose data feeds and verifiable randomness. They have many partnership lined up, for example with Monad, Sanctum, Flexlend, Solend, Marginfi, Symmetry, Kamino Finance, Mango Markets, Goosefx, All Domains, Bonk etc. etc. .
So if you are using any of these protocols, you may accidentally farm Orbs (their points campaign).
You can farm Orbs also trough their Zealy quests (here), they are not very active but now and then they publish some, so always keep an eye on it; plus if you are active of their discord you get roles that may qualify you for the airdrop (probably Q3 2024).
There is already a way to check if any of your wallets are eligible: right here.
I highly suggest to get involved with this project cause they are growing very rapidly and there aren't many good oracles right now out there.
2. JUPITER
It's maybe a not so obvious one cause some people may think after the first airdrop, they wouldn't plan another one, but for the next few years they will airdrop more $JUP to users on the 31st January of each year.
The only thing they didn't publish is how the eligibility works.
You can use their website for:
- Swap Assets
- Stake $JUP
- Vote the next project to launch on their launchpad
- Bridge between chains
- DCA on any asset
- Create limit orders
- Buy JupSol, their liquid staking token
- Trade perpetuals
- More to come, TBA
My suggestion is if you use Solana, try to use their website, get involved.
3. METEORA
If you are a liquidity provider on Solana, maybe you're using Kamino Finance to earn fees from DEXes.
On Kamino Finance there are many options and they you can choose between DEXes like Orca, Raydium and Meteora.
Meteora is the only one without a token that launched a point mechanism that runs on the background, without a eligibility checker, so if you may have started to collect points without even knowing about it!
Meteora points works as follow:
- 1 point per $1 of TVL per day (on any liquidity pool)
- 1000 points per $1 of fees earned per day (on any liquidity pool)
You can use directly their website as well if you don't like Kamino Finance.
I hope I was able to bring some light over some airdrops, happy farming!
