I am not a fan of writing what I do outside of hive especially when it comes to my crypto activities which involve hunting of airdrops, trading free signals from groups in telegram(this I do no more), running a node and engaging in testnets of new dapps. I only talk about it when I find myself with close friends or in like-minded communities on whatsapp or discord. But today after winning the Burn giveaway in neoxian city in discord, I felt like crawling out of my shell and talking about a few things I've done in crypto outside hive.

Retro Airdrop

I love retro airdrops. It is one of the best routes to reward loyal users of a project. I think back then in 2020 during the early times of the pandemic, Uniswap was one of the first or second or maybe tenth De-Fi project to reward her loyal users and ever since then other projects has taken the same footstep, using different eligibility criteria to reward their loyal users with retro airdrop. As someone who have nothing or little capital, retro airdrop is one of easiest or challenging means to raise liquidity that can cushion your preparation for any bullrun. You can sell whatever is retroactively received and invest it in a more strong and long-term project with solid fundamentals and bright future(alt coins).

I've had a fair share of some retro airdrop in the past, like:

• $Muse
• $DyDx
• $Paraswap
• $StakeDao
• $Gitcoin
• $BadgerDao
• $Optimism
• $Arbitrum
• $Celestia
• $Hop
• $Clover
• $Ppdex || $Ppblz
• $Rope
• $Woof
• $Orca
• $Sherpax
• $Aidoge
• $Tubbycat(NFT)
• $Namada(project will launch in 20 days time or thereabout)

_{screenshot: to my surprise I was able to make the eligibility list as a gitcoin top 0-50% donor for Namada airdrop}

From 2020 till date, the retro airdrops from the aforementioned projects above really helped boost my financial status, changed my life and provided liquidity needed for investing in other promising and undervalued projects. There are some other retro airdrops I received in the past but I don't remember their names at the moment. Why? Because anytime I dump an airdrop allocated to me in a hurry, I sell only when I don't see them as long term, after which it just erase from my mind like I never received anything at all, Oopsie, my bad.

Prospective retroactive Airdrop

There are few prospective retro airdrops on my radar, some of them are tokenless blockchains, while others are protocols/dapps.

Blockchain

• Zksync era
• Scroll
• Base
• Starknet
• Zora
• Polygon Zkevm
• PGN
• Manta Pacific

Protocol/Dapps

• Debank - Follow me on debank here
• Odos
• Bungee.exchange
• Jumper.exchanger
• Syncswap
• Debridge
• Marignfi
• 10kswap
• Jediswap
• Shell protocol
• Orbiter.finance
• Defillama
• Rage.trade
• Aevo
• Defisaver
• Owlto.finance
• Pira.finance
• Switchboard(price data Oracle)
• Redstone(price data Oracle)
• Wormhole

Node and testnets

Airdrop hunting is tasking and can be demanding. You have to be vigilant, determined, resilient and hardworking at all times especially now that this area of the crypto space is saturated with a lot of people. Like they say no pain, no gain. So you have to keep grinding like your life depends on it till you make it.

My plan for next year

_{screenshot: just take a look at these folders, It's gonna a be a year of codes for me in 2024}

I plan to learn a thing or two on coding. I received this course with me from a friend. I've been on it for some time but haven't paid much attention to the course. Each folder in the course is loaded with different frontend and backend materials. Maybe at the end of 2024, I might learn a thing, become good at it and maybe earn the nickname "Bad Dev, No Pamp" - this nickname is an alias used by the Dev of $muse project, as I heard from an unreliable source that Ethereum Mainnet community rated the guy as a top 50 Dev on their Dev list. Till date, I never verified if this information was true but $muse did change my life you know. I made a fortune out of the project when the coin surged towards an ATH.

_{screenshot: my trust wallet balance back then when $muse and other retro airdrops helped change my finances and impacted my life.}

To wrap this post up, I expect next year to be that year to reward me handsomely for all the hardwork dedicated to my hustle. That will be all for today. See you all in my post.
