Yala's recent quick airdrop is a model for saving-focused airdrop strategies that other projects should learn from. Today, I discovered a similar stablecoin saving project where saving money can earn points, which can be redeemed for future airdrops. This project is called Almanak; let me introduce it and its airdrop mechanics.
🚀 Project Introduction
Almanak is an AI agent platform based on the DeFi scenario, allowing users to build, optimize, deploy, and manage automated trading strategies without writing code, covering portfolio management, risk monitoring, and trade execution.
Using a self-acting AI agent group to execute strategies around the clock; capable of executing a range of financial instructions from arbitrage, rebalancing to hedging operations; completely non-custodial, users always control their assets, with permissions finely controlled by Zodiac SDK.
⚙️ Core Function Highlights
1. Intelligent Strategy Creation
Describe strategy ideas in natural language, and the platform's AI agents will generate production-level Python code without you having to code manually.
2. Backtesting and Optimization
Built-in tens of thousands of Monte Carlo simulation scenarios to test strategy performance; optimization agents automatically adjust parameters to achieve maximum capital efficiency and risk management.
3. Risk and Automatic Hedging Management
AI-driven risk agents continuously monitor portfolio performance, automatically rebalancing, hedging, or adjusting strategies to reduce human intervention risks.
4. Deployment and Monitoring
Strategy code can be deployed in a completely open-source, minimally licensed multi-signature environment (like SAFE), and executed via smart contracts; supports real-time monitoring and strategy iteration, with the system alerting users when anomalies or opportunities arise.
🔐 Security Architecture and Infrastructure
Using Safe + Zodiac permission control to achieve a completely non-custodial wallet interaction design;
Deployed in a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), strategies are fully verifiable and can be audited before execution;
The company emphasizes user asset control, code transparency, and strategy auditability.
🌍 Applicable Audience and Scenarios
Active DeFi investors or those seeking automated strategy execution;
Developers/quantitative researchers can easily build, test, and monetize strategies;
Investment institutions or asset managers can package mature strategies into vaults, raise funds, and collect management fees;
The platform also supports strategy tokenization, allowing users to manage, authorize strategies and profit from them.
💼 Investment Background and Ecosystem Partners
Investors include well-known institutions such as BanklessVC, Delphi Labs, HashKey Capital, Matrix, Near Foundation, Shima Capital, SparkleVC;
The technology ecosystem is based on Zodiac Roles SDK (permission management) and eth-sdk/Gnosis account abstraction architecture;
The official SDK is open, such as the almanak Python package for strategy development and deployment management (as noted in the PyPI release records)
🪂 Airdrop Interaction Strategy

Currently, there is only one interaction method, which is saving money. The interaction method is simpler than Yala; simply deposit into the one vault on the webpage, with an APY of around 8.6%. This annualized yield far exceeds most traditional financial stablecoin investment projects.
Although this project requires saving on the Ethereum mainnet, the mainnet gas fees are often below 3, making transaction costs almost negligible.
The management fee for this pool is divided into two parts: one part is a fixed Management Fee of 0.1%. The other part is a 10% performance fee. Some may worry about being exploited; I checked the official documentation, which states that performance fees are applied exclusively to profits and are calculated only when the asset value surpasses the high-water mark (the highest reached price per share). This ensures fees are charged solely on new profits, not on recovered losses.
This means that this part of the performance fee is only deducted 10% from your total earnings when the project is profitable. These two fee components are the same as the earnings structure of traditional private equity fund managers.
The official announcement clearly states that the TGE will occur at the end of September to early October. If you don't act now, when will you?
💡 Summary:
Almanak is a rapidly emerging DeFi × AI project with a solid platform. Investors include top institutions like Bankless, Delphi Labs, HashKey, Shima, etc., with strong financial backgrounds and clear technical logic.
The TGE (Token Generation Event) is approaching; now is the golden window to interact on-chain and leave a trace of on-chain activity.
I recommend everyone to participate as early as possible and secure a spot. Even if it's just a small deposit or running a few strategies, it could lay the foundation for future core user qualifications or high-quality airdrops.
Don't wait until others finish interacting and then regret it — interact early and be patient. 🔁💰
