Christmas Alpha

Good Morning Saints,

Merry Christmas

Hope you’re having a wonderful Christmas Celebration?

If you’re reading this, you’re always one of the chosen Saints and you’re special.

Now, let’s get to the topic of the day.

Today’s Alpha is VELA Exchange and Optimism….Grab a cup of coffee and let’s chill

Missed $GMX, The Perp Narrative isn’t Over, I deep dived into Vela exchange which looks promising like the former and you might have come across that on Threads from other Chads.

I made a summary of my findings which i tweeted earlier this month and there are lots of exciting stuff coming on Q1 2023 and if you’re seeing this, you’re early.

Bear Market Alpha #3 I swallowed the Red pill today I had to take a look & guess what I saw. A voice telling me if you blink you miss Airdrop Already Confirmed 🎯 @vela_exchange The New Era of Advanced Trading DEX on #Arbitrum

Also, Here’s what to do to get ready for the Airdrop

• Sign up for the wait-list at https://www.vela.exchange/

  Beta announced Q1 2023 (18th JAN).

• Trade on its core product (The Spot, OTC and the Perp).

• Be a repetitive user & trade to generate Vol.

• Stake $VELA and $eVELA. ($eVELA is gotten by staking $VELA and this can be staked too).

• Be a $VLP holder (Earned by staking Stables).

Part II

I wrote a thread last week on Gitcoin Alpha Test Round which entails the new phase of gitcoin transition from being a centralized Organization to Decentralized Organization. In testing that out, they opened a public campaign to claim POAP NFTs for users who participate and donate in all these Rounds.

The Rounds are as follow:

• UNICEF Round (9th Dec - 21st Dec)

• Fantom Round (12th Dec - Jan 2nd)

• Gitcoin R16 (17th JAN - JAN 31st)

• Optimism Round (31st JAN - 10th FEB)

• Alchemix Round (FEB - TBA)

Fantom Round is currently live

Regarding that, There has been much speculation on Optimism second retroactive airdrop which will include several criteria like the first drop and Gitcoin Donors was among one of the Criteria.

Similar to that, here’s a tweet by Optimism on Gitcoin Alpha Donors

Today, we’re incredibly excited to announce Retroactive Public Goods Funding Round 2. In February 2023, 10M OP will be distributed to the people and projects powering the public goods that make Optimism possible.

Stay tuned when Optimism round is live, so you don’t miss out.

Also, Here’s a recent tweet i made on how to get ready for the Second Airdrop
