Key Takeaways
Market Outlook and Altseason Prediction

Token Selection and Investment Strategy

The report also emphasizes the importance of major upcoming catalysts.

Airdrop Farming
- Airdrop Farming Challenges: The report notes that airdrop farming, the practice of earning tokens through participation in a network, has become more challenging due to the appearance of industrial farmers. This has led to most airdrops having a linear distribution to avoid rewarding these farmers.
- Criteria for Tokenless Protocols: For tokenless protocols, the report suggests looking for a strong community, VC funding, and a low TVL / Total Money Raised ratio. The report also advises farming the airdrops of protocols that people find genuinely useful.
