TreadFi After TREAD: AI Agents and Bots to Farm Every Perp DEX Airdrop

I underrated TreadFi for a long time. Then it shipped AI agents, and I started taking it seriously, because automation with some intelligence behind it is exactly what most market-making tools are missing. Since then, its own token has launched, which changes why you use it. This guide covers where TreadFi stands now and how I use it to farm other airdrops. Start on TreadFi.

As of October 2026: TREAD is live and trading, the first TreadFi airdrop is done, and another TREAD airdrop is coming from the community half of supply, with no date or size published.

Where TreadFi stands now: post-TGE

TREAD is live. It trades on exchanges including Kraken, MEXC and Bitvavo, with a fixed supply of 100 million and about 18 million circulating at last check. When I recorded my video, Season 1.5 was running as the bridge before the token launch, so the TreadFi airdrop itself is done. If you farmed it, log in and check your TREAD balance.

Update (October 2026): the Genesis terms-acceptance deadline of September 15, 2026 has passed, and allocations went straight to registered HyperCore addresses, so there is no claim site; any "claim TREAD" page is a scam. TreadFi's 0.4 bps referral commission program also ended on October 1, 2026, as TreadFi moves to a new rewards structure; referral links still work for sign-up and earned commissions can still be withdrawn.

And there will be another TREAD airdrop. Half the supply is reserved for the community and most of it has not been distributed yet, so points earned through TreadFi now still count toward the next drop. No date or size is published, so do not let anyone sell you a "claim". Separately, Tread's first improvement proposal gives fee discounts to people who hold TREAD in their Tread wallet. The background is in our Tread Foundation and TREAD update and how to earn TreadFi points .

Why TreadFi still matters: it farms everything else

TreadFi is a trading terminal that connects your exchange and perp DEX accounts in one place and runs automated strategies on them. In its terminal I can see a long list of perp DEXes where it earns points for me in an automated way, including Perpl, RiseX, Ondo Perps, Pacifica and Hyperliquid. For airdrop hunters, that is the point: one tool, many airdrops, and every bot you run also builds your position for the next TREAD drop.

The two bots

Market maker. You keep funds on the perp DEX (Pacifica, for example), choose the amount and the volume you want, set leverage, and let it run. The sidebar shows your maximum loss before you start. When I set $10,000 of volume on Pacifica, the maximum loss was about $1, which is a very reasonable price for that much qualifying volume.

Delta neutral. Two perp DEXes, two opposite positions, run automatically. Price moves cancel out, and both venues count the volume toward their points. The method is in our delta-neutral farming guide .

The AI agents

TreadFi describes its agents as AI teammates that research markets and trade only with your permission. What that means in practice:

• They chat, then act. You describe the job in a sentence and refine it from there.
• Read-only or trading, per account. You decide which accounts an agent can see and which it can trade on.
• One bounded task at a time, with its live orders visible, so you are never handing over open-ended control.
• They remember you. Preferences and corrections are kept, and you can review or clear them in settings.

When you build an agent, TreadFi offers templates: watch an alert and tell you when something moves, execute the trades you call one at a time, market make both sides of a market on a spread you set, or run delta neutral. When I looked, there were nine strategies from Tread itself and none yet from the community. The example prompts show how far this goes, such as running $2.5 million of daily volume across the HIP-3 majors on Hyperliquid while keeping margin under $50,000, or making markets on ETH and SOL perps on Bybit with a $15,000 margin cap.

How I would set it up today

Costs and risks

Fees are the real cost, and they add up with volume, so watch the maximum-loss figure. Leverage can liquidate a leg of a hedge. Agents and bots trade real money on your accounts, so grant access account by account, and stop any task that behaves unexpectedly. Use only the official app, never share seed phrases , and only trade what you can afford to lose.
