I trade perps with about $2,000. How do I farm several airdrops with the same money?
Delta-neutral pairs earn on both venues at the same time while the price moves cancel out. And on some venues, holding open interest for hours earns far more than churning volume.
Free. Tick off each stop as you go; it remembers where you are.
Open Arcus through the invite link to skip its perps waitlist, and connect every wallet you have traded perps on before.
You already know perps, so this route skips the basics and stacks programs. The core is a hedged pair: long on one zero-fee venue, short on another. Then automation adds volume, and a spot venue adds history on the same chain.

Run the same exposure across two venues, delta-neutral, so each dollar earns points on both while price risk mostly cancels. Then publish your setup, costs and funding results every week. Very few traders show their real cost per point, and the ones who do get followed, copied and invited into referral and partner programs.
Most people will not do this. That is why it works.
A calculator that shows your real cost per point on each perp venue, from fees, spread and funding, so you farm where points are cheapest.
- Cost per point by venue
- Funding paid or earned per position
- Break-even point value per farm
- Weekly summary you can share
A sheet where you log each position's fees, funding and points earned. One formula divides total cost by points. Review it every Friday and move capital to the cheapest venue.
Every route uncovers something nobody has built yet. Building it is the highest-leverage move in web3: builders get the grants, the developer airdrops and the users.
- Check both legs of every pair for drift toward liquidation
- Recycle hedged pairs every few hours
- Weekly: review which venue paid points per dollar best
- At 40x leverage a 2.5% move can liquidate one leg before the hedge helps. Start at 10x or lower.
- Delta-neutral is not risk-free: funding and timing gaps cost money.
- Variational has no API; do not trust tools claiming to automate it.
