šŸ‘€ 3 things you can't miss this week

PLUS: all eyes on GBTC

GM everyone. This is 2036. We scroll for gems all day so you don’t have to.

There's a new airdrop in town, a ∼175% yield, and a unique private opportunity.

Here’s a run-down of the actionable things I’m paying attention to this week šŸ²ā€¦

Let’s dig in.

1/ Jupiter’s ∼175% APY liquidity pool šŸ¦

I’ve written about Jupiter many times before. It’s the leading decentralized exchange on Solana.

Last week, they released their token - $JUP. At the time, I wrote that the token was expensive, even more so if the price were to shoot up on the launch date.

Since then, the token is down -20% - closer to an attractive buying price.

While we wait for a good buying opportunity, however, there’s another overlooked opportunity on Jupiter.

You see, Jupiter needs liquidity to execute trades easily.

All decentralized exchanges function this way: users can invest in liquidity pools that make sure traders can always swap tokens, even if there isn't a buyer or seller on the other side.

Right now, Jupiter has a liquidity pool that offers ∼175% annual yield and holds:

  • 45% stablecoins

  • 40% SOL

  • 15% ETH+BTC

That is a very juicy return on stablecoins.

By buying into the pool, your funds will be divided proportionally among those tokens, so it's an interesting way to get exposure to both SOL and stablecoins.

To participate, all you have to do is buy JLP, which you can do here (and you can read more about it here)

2/ There’s a new airdrop in town šŸŖ‚

The talk of the crypto town this week is Farcaster.

Farcaster is a decentralized social media protocol. It wants to create a fully permissionless, censor-free social media platform enabled by blockchain technology.

Think Bitcoin, but for social media. Any developer can build an app to interact with the protocol like Coinbase is a way to buy Bitcoin. You can be banned from Coinbase but never from Bitcoin.

One app that's used to interact with Farcaster is called Warpcast. And it's attracting a lot of buzz these days.

That's because Warpcast introduced Frames, which lets users build apps inside the social media feed.

Imagine having video games or NFT mints directly inside your feed. That's cool and (probably) the future of social media.

For now, you can still sign up to Warpcast and receive ā€œpointsā€ - likely allocations for a future airdrop. You can sign up for the app and get 50 free points using this link.

3/ A new Private Investor opportunity šŸ‘€

Members of 2036: Private Investor will soon get to invest in a new private opportunity.

We're backing a team that launched one of the most successful NFTs ever.

And it's one of the most promising deals I've seen in a while.

I won’t send this out to everyone for confidentiality reasons, but if you're interested in participating, join 2036: Private Investor (it's free).
