This newsletter series is free for all readers.
What I like about reading newsletters and alpha aggregators is that you get to catch up on things that you do not have a pulse on in your day-to-day. One can only cover so much on their own, so it’s always great to look outside of your info bubble — I hope this newsletter does the same for you!
Note that you can click on the screenshots of each tweet in this newsletter to take you to the actual tweet.
Our Telegram Channel is FREE and shares news/alpha in real-time.
We took a break last week but now we’re back!
Let’s dive in.
Airdrop Alpha
1. Backpack Exchange launches referral program and points program begins
Feel free to use mine 💃: https://backpack.exchange/refer/ian
2. Ethena Labs
Ethena’s website is now live. They'll be announcing their points program on Monday to the public, at the moment seems like only people in the Discord and beta are aware.
The points program will run for 3 months, or when USDe supply hits $1bn whichever happens first.
Most of the pools are filled already, there’s still $6m cap available for USDe-mkUSD.
