1) Polynomial — Zero-Fee Perps + Separate Points for Trading and Staking

What it is
Derivatives DEX (Optimism) with a points system for trading and a separate points system for staking, plus referral boosts. They’re currently running zero-fee trading on ETH/BTC during the sprint.

Why now

  • Trading Points end Oct 31 (pilot).

  • If volume pops, zero fees may expand beyond ETH/BTC.

  • Final stretch to farm trading points cheaply.

How I farm it

  • Small, repeated trades on ETH/BTC while fees ≈ 0.

  • Stake a slice to collect Staking Points (tracked separately).

2) Omni by Variational — Zero Fees + Loss Refunds + Spread Discounts + Platform Credit

What it is

Perp venue on the Variational Protocol. Positioning: the most rewarding place to trade perps.

Why now

  • Zero trading fees on many markets.

  • Loss refunds live - each losing close has up to ~5% chance to be instantly refunded (odds/promos vary).

  • Spread discounts + platform credit cut effective costs → ideal for volume/points farming.

How I farm it

  • Micro-trades with low leverage (sometimes delta-neutral).

  • Watch for odds boosts / special campaigns and ramp volume in those windows.

3) Ethereal — Testnet Trading (Free) + Season 1 Pre-Deposit (USDe → eUSDe)

What it is

Perp venue with active testnet and a Season 1 pre-deposit linked to USDe. Deposit USDe → receive eUSDe receipt tokens.

Why now

  1. Complete tasks at the upgrade portal.

7) HeyElsa DeFAI — Points V2 (EP), Mobile/Web Copilot, Potential Airdrop

“New to crypto? You can ask me anything… I’m here to help you do transactions with ease and confidence.”

What it is
AI crypto copilot (web + mobile) that turns natural language into on-chain actions (swap, bridge, stake). Points V2 (EP): daily/weekly quests + referrals.

How I farm it

  1. Sign up, connect wallet, open the Points tab

  2. Do daily/weekly tasks; keep a streak

  3. Share your link for EP multipliers

Start here ⤵️

Note: Community trackers suggest EP → token at TGE is possible (unconfirmed). Keep sizes small.


8) Wallchain (InfoFi) — Quacks (AttentionFi) Points

What it is
InfoFi / AttentionFi: Quacks rewards high-signal crypto posts & engagement on X; points reflect your mindshare (non-trading).

How I farm it

  • Join Quacks, connect X

  • Post genuine, data-backed insights; avoid spam

  • Track leaderboards and iterate

Start here ⤵️

Note
Points systems can change; token/TGE not confirmed.


9) Edgen — Aura (InfoFi for Market Calls)

What it is
AI-native market intelligence platform where your research & predictions earn Aura (non-tradable reputation). Higher Aura → more reach + platform perks; helps train Edgen’s AI. InfoFi for signal quality.

How I farm it ⤵️

  1. Create your Aura profile.

  2. Post useful theses with clear validation & risk; echo to X for impact.

  3. Use in-app signals/watchlists; chase badges/streaks.

NoteAura ≠ token. It’s a reputation metric; don’t assume TGE.


10) Glider — Portfolio Automations (SMA & Dynamic Block)

What it is
Non-custodial on-chain portfolio automation: you define allocations; Glider runs auto-rebalancing and supports simple logic (If/Else) and a Dynamic Block (filters: market cap, liquidity, volume, token age) to keep baskets updated.

Two simple automations (available today)

  • Defensive (bear/chop): SMA Guard + Auto-RebalanceIf ETH > SMA(9) → keep 50% ETH; else → rotate that sleeve to USDC. Enable auto-rebalance.

  • Offensive (bull): Dynamic Top-3 RotationUse Dynamic Block filters (e.g., mcap > $1M, liq ≥ $50k, min age) to hold Top-3 trending tokens with equal weights + auto-rebalance.

Start here ⤵️

  • Glider invite

    Invite capacity: 3 redemptions/day. If it’s used up today, try again tomorrow.


11) Paradex — Zero-Fee Perps Meta + Points/Seasonal Campaigns

What it is

Paradex is a high-performance perp DEX with CLOB execution and frequent zero-fee campaigns on select markets. They run seasons/points and referral programs from time to time, rewarding consistent trading activity (and sometimes staking/liquidity tasks if/when available).

Why now

  • Zero-fee windows (when active) make volume farming cheap.

  • Seasonal points/leaderboards tend to favor early, steady usage.

  • CEX-like matching + on-chain settlement = good fills without giving up custody.

How I farm it

  1. Do small, repeated trades on the pairs that have fee promos (often majors first).

  2. Spread activity over the entire season (daily/weekly cadence > one big burst).

  3. Track any quests/XP multipliers they announce (Twitter/Discord) and adjust volume accordingly.

  4. Keep leverage modest; the goal is incentives, not YOLO.

Start here ⤵️

Open the app : Paradex trading portal

Tips

-If zero-fee isn’t active on your pair, rotate to the promo pairs or lower fee tiers.
-Screenshot weekly stats (fills, notional, PnL) useful if they introduce retro criteria.
-Watch for maker incentives; add passive liquidity if they enable it for the season.


My Farming Playbook (Quick)

  • Start small: micro-size first; learn fills/spreads/PnL.

  • Iterate often: short, frequent sessions > single massive punt.

  • Keep leverage low where applicable; goal = farm incentives with controlled risk.

  • Track weekly: snapshot points/refunds/credits/streaks; rotate effort to best EV.

  • Chase deadlines (e.g., Oct 31 for Polynomial Trading Points) and new seasons (Nansen S02).

  • Stay adaptable: if incentives dip, pause and redeploy to the next active window.


Risks & Disclaimers

Perps & automations are risky (liquidations, slippage, rule misfires). Refunds/credits/points aren’t guaranteed and can change without notice. DYOR. Nothing here is financial advice: this is just what I’m doing right now.
