1. Restaking — "earn on staking twice"

What is this?

Restaking allows for additional yield by reusing staked assets.
The main player — EigenLayer: you stake ETH on Ethereum → then restake it in EigenLayer → earn double rewards.

Why is this hot?

  • Minimal risks (if you choose the protocols correctly)

  • Potential token drops of new projects (airdrops!)

How to start?

Stake ETH through Liquid Staking protocols (for example, Lido → stETH), then send the tokens to EigenLayer.

2. Airdrop hunting on new blockchains

What is this?

Projects love to distribute free tokens to active users before listing.

Where are they hunting now?

  • LayerZero (ZRO) — highly anticipated airdrop of 2025.

  • ZkSync, Starknet, Scroll — active L2 networks with hints at future distributions.

  • Fuel, Berachain — fresh blockchains.

How to earn?

  • Use bridges

  • Trade on testnets

  • Provide liquidity

  • Participate in DAO voting

⚡ Returns can be in dozens and even hundreds of X!

3. Trading RWA tokens (Real World Assets)

What is this?

Tokenized real assets — bonds, real estate, gold.

Why does this work?

Institutions have started to massively enter RWA. Projects like Ondo Finance and Maple Finance are gaining massive volumes.

How to earn?

Buying tokenized assets with real yield (for example, through DeFi protocols) or participating in liquidity pools.
