It was a pretty rough week but those alphas won’t stop coming.
Here’s a list of projects we’ll be covering for this week;
Let’s dive in 🏊🏼♂️ 👇🏽
1. Friendtech on Base network
Friend tech is a viral social dApp on Base. It’s a decentralized social media app that allows users to tokenize their friends.
Recently they hinted at partnering with Paradigm (a technology investment firm
Who knows if something is coming? 🤷🏽♂️
Why @friendtech?
Let’s you connect with your community in a completely decentralized, on-chain-native way.
Lets you connect with the people you care about.
It lets you manage and be part of gated chat rooms.
You earn ETH fees from people buying and selling your shares.
Meanwhile, to get on friend tech, you need an invite code
Here are some codes that might be helpful to you (FCFS)
ft-qlg6gnph
ft-vn4163x8
ft-b22df8e0
ft-4q3z5qms
My Opinion
Use it if you truly have people you want to connect with or gain value from.
A scenario
Imagine an influencer you’ve been looking to connect with personally, this is an opportunity for you to access them through the gated chat rooms.
This is also an opportunity for content creators to earn some bucks in their pocket while intentionally offering value.
Lastly, there’s an airdrop session tab in the app that hinted about a future airdrop
Overall, using the app is all up to you and what you intend to use it for.
2. Extra Finance Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT).
After launching on Base recently, Extra Finance announces the integration of LayerZero to launch their OFT
What does this mean?
You’ll be able to bridge your $EXTRA from Optimism to Base and vice versa without fees.
3. Clipper DEX final airdrop eligibility criteria
During the week, Clipper updated their airdrop criteria after reviewing all submitted appeals
Eligible criteria roles include;
Community Leaders - comprises all Captains and community leaders in the Clipper community.
Adventurers - this includes everyone that has participated in Clipper’s adventure campaigns.
Values Champions - members who have demonstrated a commitment to Clippers’ core values
Clipper Super Users - assisting with the development of Clipper, either through testing, etc.
Mainnet Liquidity Providers - This includes all LPs in Clippers’ Mainnet pool.
Note that airdrop will be done to L2 participants a week after L1 claims. See the image below. 👇🏽
Adventure 4 registration has also closed with 23,000 signups. The introduction and Instructions will be out on Monday, Aug 21. Kickoff will also begin on Tuesday, Aug 22.
If you got in, congrats, and let’s SAIL together. 🏴☠️
4. Rabbithole OP rewards
If you have been using any Optimism-related DEXes or dApps, you might want to check rabbithole if you’ve earned yourself some OP tokens.
Rabbit Hole is a platform that rewards you with tokens and NFTs for completing on-chain tasks. You can also earn points.
They have daily quests, so you might want to check in daily.
As you can see in the first image below, I just earned myself 0.2 OP tokens.
You might also want to check their leaderboard and have some fun.
Want to start using @rabbithole_gg

5. Connext network Token Launch
Connext announced their token launch $NEXT
Connext is an open-source protocol for securely moving funds and data between chains. Developers can use Connext to build cross-chain apps (xApps) - applications that interact with multiple domains (blockchains and/or rollups) simultaneously.
$NEXT token will be distributed across several chains including Optimism
You should be eligible if you’ve been using Connext to bridge to Optimism.
All the airdrop details can be found here 👉🏽 https://docs.connext.network/v/dao-documentation/next/airdrop-details
6. Paraswap Staking is now live on Optimism
Paraswap will be launching its staking on Optimism.
ParaSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator that optimizes swaps for users through better prices, limited gas fees, and lower slippage.
What do you enjoy by staking on Paraswap?
Reduced gas fees
Share of protocol fees
Gas Refunds.

7. Base Onchain Summer
Base is on day 12 of the Onchain Summer
Though some of the mints might be money-consuming, I’d implore you to do the ones you can afford to do as the tasks are just a way to bring users on-chain.
That’s it for this week's Optimistic Alphas.
