Buys and Sells
I bought more Chainlink at $6.02 and $6.18.
Otherwise a quiet week on that front.
Illuvium announced that they miscalculated rewards, and that missing rewards need to be manually claimed. For me it was a significant boost of total ILV tokens.
If you’re a staker then go and check here.
Farming
Quick word of warning before I begin here.
I am using experimental platforms which could be hacked or exploited. Understand that if you follow anything I am doing here that you risk losing all of your money.
Prisma Finance
I swapped a few ETH into wstETH in order to put some money into Prisma Finance at launch.
I staked wstETH to mind mkUSD which I also staked. At the time of writing the protocol was not yet live, but by the time you read this it probably will be.
They are doing a limited launch so first come, first serve.
They’re Probably doing an airdrop.
Orbiter Finance
I used Orbiter Finance to send some ETH to zkSync, Polygon zkEVM and Linea.
Orbiter is apparently doing an airdrop plus it makes it more likely for me to get an airdrop on those chains.
There is an NFT to claim for making a minimum of 3 transactions here.
zkSync
On zkSync I added some ETH liquidity to Eralend.
Dmail x Starknet
Dmail is a crypto mail provider. They also run on Starknet, bonus interaction with Starknet here. I signed up and sent an email. I also registered a dmail address.
In other Starknet news I also did swaps on Sith Swap and added liquidity on zkLEND.
Linea
I found another DEX on Linea. I did a swap on EchoDex and on Symbiosis I sent some ETH from Linea to Polygon zkEVM.
Layer Zero
For the Layer Zero airdrop I am using Stargate to send money from Arbitrum to Ethereum and from Arbitrum to BASE.
I also realized that I had used it before to send JOE tokens from AVAX to Arbitrum.
There is also a rumor that this free NFT mint could increase eligibility
Scroll
Scroll, yet another Ethereum layer two is likely doing an airdrop. It is still on testnet.
