Opportunities have become fewer these past few days, and there are more messy projects that are exhausting. I've caught a whiff of some wasted time.
With not much to do, I might as well travel and do some staking and mining.
Let me mention a few relatively high-quality and simple options at the moment:
1. A competitor's Prompt pool, which has ten days left. It has stabilized at an annualized rate of 120%. Binance's contract has also returned to a positive fee rate, which is quite stable and flexible.
2. FHE's official staking, currently stable at an annualized rate of 150%. Binance's contract is also at a positive fee rate. The downside is a one-month lock-up, which can be awkward if good projects come up during that time, making it less flexible and limiting the amount of capital that can be used.
3. Another competitor's Haedal pool, which has only six days left. Currently, the contract fee rate is frighteningly negative, so it's temporarily not feasible. However, the annualized rate of over 300% is very tempting.
I will keep observing; at least if the fee rate returns to normal two days before it ends, I would consider participating. If it's less than two days, I wouldn't recommend it.
In the short term, the above options are the best to pursue. There might be changes next week, and it's also necessary to keep some capital for alpha and to prepare for various new investments.
