First, a breakdown of a few protocols that I've called out in the past.
They all had an airdrop.
$COW: called it Oct 2021 / airdrop Jan 2022
$GURU: called it Oct 2021 / airdrop Feb 2022
$ENS: called it Oct 2021 / airdrop Nov 2021
$PSP: called it Oct 2021 / airdrop Nov 2021
1. $OPYN @opyn_
This will be one of the big ones. Opyn is an options protocol. The community (led by @wadepros) is extremely friendly and helpful.
How: open a Long Squeeth position squeeth.opyn.co
Note: DYOR on how Squeeth works, ask around in Discord if necessary!
2. $HOP @HopProtocol
An ETH<>L2s bridge, including USDC, ETH, USDT.
How:
-bridge assets between mainnet / L2s
-provide liquidity so that others can bridge, and earn interests
Note: bridges are a separate subject, and it will be extensively covered in another thread. Stay tuned
3. $CHARM @CharmFinance
Thanks to @gabagooldoteth's investigation on Divergence Ventures' sybill attacks, Charm & Cozy were uncovered as potential airdrops. Charm is a Uni liquidity manager, maximizing APY
How: provide liquidity to @Uniswap via Charm in alpha.charm.fi
4. $COZY @cozyfinance
Cozy's product is excellent. They support protected investments, where the users can automatically get covered on their funds. UI is amazing.
How:
-invest in any of their strategies app.cozy.finance
-provide insurance against DeFi risk for others
5. $EMNT @element_fi
They already have governance with no token, but who knows. One of their products allows fixed rates investing: you can plan long term. Principal and Yield tokens can be splitted!
How: invest in app.element.fi
Tip: DYOR, they have multiple products
6. @SAVER @DeFiSaver
Great tool to manage stablecoins debt. Usually expensive to transact, but with 25 gwei you might as well give it a go.
How: mint DAI with ETH (via @MakerDAO) and get automatic protection against liquidations: app.defisaver.com
Note: LQTY supported!
7. $FUJI @FujiFinance
A DeFi borrowing aggregator, also available in Fantom
How: supply FTM/ETH/BTC <> borrow stablecoins at app.fujidao.org
8. $ZKM from @aztecnetwork
zk.money, similar to Tornado, allows user to mask ETH. They do it leveraging Aztec’s private rollup.
How: mask some ETH from one wallet, and receive it anonymously in another wallet
9. $ZAG @ZigZagExchange
First DEX in zkSync. They offer low slippage trades for many pairs, including $YFI, $LINK, $LUNA, and all stables.
How: bridge some funds to @zksync, and make a trade!
10. $UNAGI @unagiidotcom
They provide stablecoins yield when you deposit in their vaults. Funds are reinvested in DeFi automatically to find the best rates
How: deposit stablecoins / ETH / BTC in their vaults to earn yield app.unagii.com
11. Time for the L2s
$ZKS @zksync
$STR @StarkWareLtd
$OPT @optimismPBC
$ARB @arbitrum
How: bridge assets to the blockchains & use some protocols. In zK you have ZigZag, in Stark you have dYdX, and plenty on the other two.
Note: these might be big, but a lot of users eligible.
12. Time for DeFi Dashboards
$DBK @DeBankDeFi
$ZAP @zapper_fi
$ZER @zerion_io
How: all of these offer swaps on their UI. Might pay off to make a few.
Note: Zapper and Zerion also have their own NFT collections. And Debank has their mintable "Web3 ID" (not currently available).
13. Time for Wallets
$PHAN @phantom
$MASK @MetaMask
$ARGT @argentHQ
How: first two offer swaps, and Argent offers a DeFi wallet that requires you to interact with their smart contracts.
Tip: Argent is integrated with zkSync. Do you see the play between Argent, ZigZag, and zK?

@cosmos ecosystem deserves a thread of its own, and it will come. There have been some big airdrops there, think $JUNO.
And they seem like they'll keep coming this 2022. Stay tuned.
Bridges πŸŒ‰
These also deserve a thread of their own, although I've hinted @HopProtocol here. Also, have a look at @Orbiter_Finance.
More to come soon.
As always, DYOR. A good place to start (and see if protocols are audited) is defillama.com from @0xngmi. I shout them out any time I can, they ship like crazy.
I tweet about airdrop strategies and yield farming opportunities. Follow me for alpha β†’ @OlimpioCrypto

This is a good way to start
