It was an experiment And it worked better than anyone expected Now get ready for 100 clones

So yeah -- you’ll see more projects doing it.
But first movers win > Always @stayloudio was first
Here’s where I’d look if you want to be early again:
@BasisOS – AI + DeFi protocol. Yaps = $BIOS. TVL growing, low cap, real use. @TheoriqAI – AI agents with verifiable on-chain logic. No token yet. @MagicNewton – Trade automation with AI agents. Beta access farming now. @Calderaxyz – Custom rollups, Metalayer tech. Early ecosystem plays. @CampNetworkxyz – IP + creator L1. Social x crypto plays. @SuccinctLabs, @Humanityprot, @AlloraNetwork – all part of the Kaito gravity well.
Don’t wait for influencers to tell you what’s next. Follow where attention is forming -- not where it already exploded.
This cycle rewards those who show up before it's obvious.
It wasn’t burnout. It wasn’t alpha scarcity It was something else Farming used to feel like edge Now it feels like work Let me explain
Back then it was simple: > join a Discord >click some buttons >farm points >get a drop
If you were early and consistent - you won Even mid projects paid $2K–$10K per account But then something changed
Everyone started farming Not learning. Not researching Just copying spreadsheets and multiaccounting with zero context Protocols noticed. They added friction:
> KYC > interviews >quests with 12 steps >points that don’t mean anything anymore
Effort went up. Returns went down
And it hit me:
I’m not farming, I’m competing in a race where the rules change every week The worst part? Most of these projects won’t survive You’ll do 2 months of effort for a Discord role in a protocol that dies before TGE
So I took a break Watched. Waited. Thought about where my time actually goes And realized: I’d rather miss a $500 drop than lose 100 hours on nonsense
I’m not anti-farming If you're new — it's still the best entry path Low capital, high upside But I no longer chase every campaign I pick my spots. I rotate capital And I focus more on narrative, trading, and building leverage
The truth is:
Farming worked best when I had nothing to lose and everything to learn. Now?
I have capital. I have network. I have options My time became more expensive than most airdrops
@Backpack - Season 1 is over. Here’s what you need to know.
Now let’s go through the key updates:
- Season 1 farming ends this week. Final rankings and rewards will be announced after point distribution.
- After that, we enter a “limbo” phase. Weekly points stop temporarily. Only events will run.
- Season 2 begins once global service expansions are completed. They want to keep the “limbo” short.
- In Season 2, user numbers, leverage, liquidity, and market volume are expected to grow. Weekly rewards will remain at 10M points.
Numbers speak for themselves: Daily volume holds $600M (peaked at $1B), OI stays at $200-250M.
They’ve grown fast over the last 3 months. In Season 2, they’re aiming for retail from EU, US, and more.
If the market stays strong, valuation could hit $700M-$1B. That’s enough to make real returns without hundreds of farming seasons or brutal dilution.
I’m planning to offer 30-40% refback next season. Register early: https://t.co/fqd0vUZyJW
My numbers this season: 200,000+ points. IRL stuff cut into my focus, but still profitable.
Now farming spot and futures volume with hedges. Main focus is on a single account. Next season, I’m aiming for 300-500k clean points. Airdrop should follow.
If you don’t have a clear plan or structure, don’t farm. Burning cash blindly and hoping for a 20-30% gain on listing is a fast way to get rekt.
Start small. Find an efficient method. Only scale once you’ve tested it.
What’s going on? Where’s the real focus right now? Quick update on what I’m doing — and where I think it’s worth paying attention
Just crossed 1,500 score on @ethos_network Still a lot to do. I want to drop at least 100–200 comments under creators and projects I trust.
Missed the best $KAITO entry and staking window Now just watching others farm drops. Entering at $2 does feel too painful, though.
Still trading actively on @Backpack 9 weeks in, already past *00,000 points Waiting for season two and TGE.
I’m holding most of my spot bags - only sold $CULT As for $BTC, I see two scenarios: 115k or 104k. If we hit 115k, I’ll cut some size and start watching alts closely.
Binance Alpha Points Planning to build a farm — 30+ accounts, $1,001 deposit each, $2k daily volume
Should last a couple more months I also expect OKX and others to follow with similar incentives
Writing about @stayloudio now — big names behind it, powered by @KaitoAI. Feels like something real is brewing there
At the same time, watching @prjx_hl — basically zero public info, but a lot of familiar names in the followers. Worth keeping an eye on
If you’re sitting there not sure what to do — it’s fine. The market is slow and boring That’s not your fault
But if you’ve got a couple thousand, try farming Binance Alpha + trading on Backpack That’s what I’d be doing anyway
At least, I think I do They’re about to launch a platform where your Mindshare becomes the currency
IAO - Initial Attention Offering
This could be the first real attempt to turn attention into a tokenized asset No tokens to sell, no equity to raise - just pure audience focus Your participation, your interaction, your activity - all of it becomes value
What makes it even more interesting:
The distribution model and monetization mechanics seem entirely different New instruments, new ways to reward contribution -and attention is the core unit
Let’s see if this is just a concept, or the start of a new meta
