Solana Eco Stablecoins The most important thing and in my opinion, something you must have 50% allocated to it is stablecoin farming The APY in crypto is insane especially on Solana thanks to the chain usage. More and more people are lending and borrowing which requires stablecoins. More are using it to transact and once again that requires stablecoins. You can comfortably get 5% APY (Annual percentage yearly) So there are three ways to maximize your stablecoins. This will rank from least risky to most @uselulo—This tool automatically moves your money between different crypto-lending platforms to get the best returns. Lending yields are one of the safest ways to earn in crypto, so the risk is low. @DeFiCarrot – Instead of just lending, this tool spreads your funds across different DeFi opportunities like a portfolio. This helps increase returns while keeping risk at a moderate level. Risk: Low-Medium. @elementaldefi – This platform runs advanced strategies on Solana to maximize yields while managing risk. It’s the only one that offers fixed returns, thanks to its special Compound Fund that helps absorb market volatility. Risk: Medium. And the best part is Lulo and deficarrot don't have a token so there's always a chance of future rewards Staking and LST (Liquid staking tokens) Staking SOL isn’t just about rewards—it supports Solana’s security and decentralization. By staking, holders help secure the network and influence governance. Choosing a reliable validator is key, like voting in a democracy. Factors to consider include uptime, ethical behavior, and contributions to Solana. A well-spread stake prevents any single entity from gaining too much control. Solana staking comes in two forms: native and liquid, with 94% of SOL staked natively. Users can stake through wallets, staking platforms, or treasury tools like Squads. Native staking involves depositing SOL into a stake account and delegating it to a validator. Multiple stake accounts can be created and assigned to different validators. In Solana staking, time is measured in epochs—each lasting about two days. Rewards are issued automatically at the start of a new epoch. MEV rewards can be claimed separately via the Jito website below https://www.jito.network/harvest/ Now when it comes to choosing a validator. I like to use stakewiz to explore and I personally stake with Helius. You get high APY and they take no commissions so you can ensure that you are getting the best rewards https://stakewiz.com/validator/he1iusunGwqrNtafDtLdhsUQDFvo13z9sUa36PauBtk But the most interesting is LSTs. Liquid staking lets users spread their stake across multiple validators through stake pools, receiving Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) in return. These tokens earn rewards and grow in value over time. Unlike native staking, where rewards increase SOL holdings, LSTs appreciate. LSTs also unlock DeFi opportunities, such as using them as collateral for loans while still earning staking rewards. When it comes to the best place to find LSTs. I look at sanctum which is a launchpad for them. Below are three I have and use Sanctum - Welcome to the infinite-LST future Sanctum - Browse, issue and buy LSTs on Solana.

Its first airdrop was the largest of this cycle, rewarding users generously with minimal friction, and it has since built a loyal following. With a one-year outlook for the next airdrop, now is the time to start preparing. 1. Trade on the Platform While this guide focuses mainly on the upcoming airdrop, it’s also an excellent opportunity to enhance your skills in technical analysis, leverage trading, and other aspects of the crypto market. Trading on the Hyperliquid platform will likely play a role in qualifying for the airdrop, so being active on the platform is crucial. To participate in trading, hold a variety of tokens and interact with different assets. As seen in previous airdrops like zkSync, users were rewarded for engaging with a range of unique tokens. Diversifying your assets and trading on Hyperliquid’s platform can improve your chances of receiving rewards. 2. Use Hyperliquid dApps and Protocols Once Hyperliquid launches its EVM-compatible chain, the next step will be to engage with its decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols. This could involve interacting with different decentralized finance (DeFi) services, minting NFTs, or engaging in any number of activities offered by the platform. The goal is to be as active as possible across the ecosystem once the chain is live, which increases the likelihood of being included in their airdrop distribution. 3. Staking on Hyperliquid Staking is one of the most straightforward ways to participate in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. While it’s unclear exactly how many unique stakers there are, the number of HYPE token holders is estimated to be around 7,300, with only a fraction of them likely to stake. Staking can be a bit of a gamble, but it’s one of the easiest methods to demonstrate loyalty to the platform and earn potential rewards. Additionally, staking is often used by projects to identify active and committed users beyond those who simply hold tokens. The staking mechanism has a 1-day lock period, meaning that you won’t be required to lock your tokens for an extended period, making it more flexible. However, if you’re interested in participating, it’s important to act sooner rather than later, as staking rewards may have limited availability as the network grows. How to Stake HYPE Tokens To stake your tokens, follow these steps: Visit the Staking Platform: Navigate to Hyperliquid Staking. Connect Your Wallet: Click "Establish Connection" and connect your wallet to the platform. Fund Your Account with $HYPE: Deposit USDC via Arbitrum to purchase $HYPE tokens. Once purchased, transfer them to your staking balance. Start Staking: Once your HYPE tokens are in your staking balance, click "Stake Tokens" and select the "Nansen x HypurrCollective" validator to begin staking. 4. Leverage Nansen Partnership for Bonus Rewards The credibility of Hyperliquid’s staking platform is bolstered by its partnership with Hypurr Collective and Nansen.ai, two reputable entities in the space. Nansen’s tools are known for providing deep analytics, and this collaboration strengthens trust in the platform’s operations. Additionally, staking through this platform could provide access to $NSN points, which may be important for future rewards, including a potential Nansen 2025 token airdrop. According to the CEO of Nansen, staking on the Hyperliquid platform could contribute to earning $NSN points, adding an extra layer of incentive for long-term engagement.
