Even verified sources can't be trusted in Web3:

❍ Unverified information posted by news sites
❍ Hacked Twitter accounts posting phishing links
❍ Official site's DNS records being hijacked

We need to be extremely cautious before taking action

Removing MetaMask from the App Store may actually be a good thing.
Their UI wasn't the best anyway.
Here are 3 other wallets that may just do a better job.
What's more, using them could land an airdrop too:

Wallet #1: @SlingshotCrypto
Raised: $18.1 million
Pros:
❍ Uses Socket for bridging
❍ No swap fees
Cons:
❍ Only 7 networks supported
❍ No DApp browser

Wallet #2: @rainbowdotme
Raised: $19.5 million
Pros:
❍ Nice UI
❍ Able to view NFTs easily
Cons:
❍ Swap fees are pretty expensive (not disclosed)
❍ No L2 support like zkSync

Wallet #3: @zerion
Raised: $22.5 million
Pros:
❍ Best UI for a crypto wallet
❍ Custom token approvals
Cons:
❍ No Ledger wallet support
❍ High swap fees (0.5%)
No airdrop guide for this as my airdrop wallet is on a Ledger...

Which wallet would you choose? Let me know below 👇🏻

Linea just dropped a huge hint at a token with this tweet. Joining the Linea discord could be an important criterion for the airdrop 👀

If you want more airdrops, pay attention.
Because if you overlook this campaign, you may miss out on 3 lucrative ones.
Today, I'll show you my strategy to complete it in 10 minutes.
And by the end, you'll qualify for 3 airdrops by just spending $3.
Ready to learn more? 🧵👇🏻
With one campaign, you could get these 3 airdrops:
❍ Layer3
❍ Manta
❍ ApertureSwap
Manta has already confirmed its token.
Here's the strategy we'll be using:
ApertureSwap Incentives Launch on Layer3
❍ Join Layer3 here:
https://layer3.xyz/?ref=28w2N
❍ Complete quest here:
https://layer3.xyz/quests/defi-on-manta-pacific
Here are the steps:
Step #1: Bridge funds to Manta Pacific L2
You can take advantage of Rhino.fi's reduced fees ($1.50) and get an OAT too.
💡 I'd suggest bridging ≥ $110 in USD to complete this task.
More info here: https://twitter.com/FIP_Crypto/status/1712875934901326288
Step #2: Add $100 in liquidity on ApertureSwap
These are the main tokens available on Aperture:
❍ USDC
❍ USDT
❍ ETH
❍ DAI
❍ wstETH
❍ rETH
I'd recommend stablecoins to reduce impermanent loss.
Once you've decided on a pool:
Find out the token quantities needed.
https://app.aperture.finance/new-position
💡 I added USDC and USDT, and the proportion is not 1:1.
You may need to play around with the numbers if you want to add exactly $100 to the pool.
This means you may need to make a swap:
⛽ This could help you save 90% on gas fees!
Once you've changed the settings, it's time to make a swap:
I swapped my USDC to USDT to make up $100 in the pool.
https://app.aperture.finance/swap
Some funds may be lost due to slippage...
Once you've completed the swap, it's time to add liquidity:
These were the USDT and USDC that I added to make up $100 in liquidity.
💡 The values may be different for you!
The good news: gas fees are super low after the fee trick, I paid $0.10 for all 3 transactions.
Step #3: Complete quest on Layer3
https://layer3.xyz/quests/defi-on-manta-pacific
💡 You'll get around 250 XP for this quest
More XP will increase your level, which could result in a larger airdrop.

There were some red flags on Galxe when their DNS record was compromised.

This browser extension would have made the risks much more obvious.

Here's how it works: 🧵👇🏻
This extension may just save your wallet from an unsuspecting hack.
Introducing: Pocket Universe

This extension helps you to visualise what you're signing.

💡 What's more, you are insured for up to $2,000 if you get hacked.

Download it here:
join.pocketuniverse.app/ref/XQZY

Here's how this extension could have saved your wallet during the Galxe hack:
When using Galxe, you may need to sign in to the platform.

This appears as a gasless signature, mainly to prove you’re not a bot.

Pocket Universe would show the signature like this.

However, it looked different when the Galxe website was compromised:
The fake Galxe site requested you to sign a token approval.

This is how a popup from Pocket Universe would look like instead.

@PocketUniverseZ gives you a clear indication that something is off.

The next step is to verify the smart contract:
I usually do this with @DeDotFi's Scanner

https://de.fi/scanner

If we pasted the smart contract address during the Galxe hack here, it will come up with some red flags.

Instead, @PocketUniverseZ would show a verified smart contract from Galxe like this (next tweet):
The contract would be verified.

What's more, @PocketUniverseZ shows that you'll be insured if you interact with this contract.

There are a few extensions that have this same feature:
❍ @stelolabs
❍ @_joinfire

However, I really like @PocketUniverseZ as it makes transactions super clear and I know what I'm signing.

I hope you enjoyed this thread!$

This is how easy it is to farm airdrop hunters.
1. Make a Guild pin and generate hype that it could be an airdrop criterion
2. Charge $2.75 in ETH for the pin
3. Rake in the profits

zkSync has already made 30 $ETH with just this one Guild pin.

Would you pay $1.50 for a Galxe OAT?

Well, I did for this Rhino.fi campaign, which could be useful for the Manta airdrop 🧵👇🏻
Rhino.fi launched a new Masters of Manta OAT.
https://galxe.com/rhinofi/campaign/GCjb8UMDec

The task: Bridge to Manta for $1.50 in USDC or ETH

I took this opportunity to bridge 1,000 USD into Manta.
This allowed me to complete this quest for the Manta Fest Bridge Week:

Bridge ≥ 1,000 USD in a single transaction to Manta.
If you want to bridge funds out of Manta:

Rhino.fi charges $1.50 which is slightly cheaper than Owlto/Orbiter.
However, this is just a discount and their usual fees are ~ $4.

I'd recommend bridging out now before Rhino increases their fees again!

Android users: You're no longer left out.

Everyone tells you to revoke token approvals to prevent getting hacked.

But no one tells you how to actually do it.

Today, I’ll be revealing my step-by-step process that keeps your crypto wallet safe:
First, let's explain token approvals.

They are permissions given to a smart contract for interacting with tokens in your wallet.

This is needed for any smart contract, but here lies a major risk:

If you give an approval to a malicious smart contract, it can drain the funds in your wallet.

This was seen in the Galxe hack, where they tricked you into signing an approval.

This allowed them to steal funds from users' wallets.

But, here's the good news:
Token approvals can be revoked.

This means that you remove the permissions given to the smart contract.

Here’s how to do this in 3 steps:
Step #1: Identify the malicious smart contract

This can be the hardest part if you haven’t used a block explorer before.

The address should start with ‘0x…’

Here are some other ways to find the address:
❍ Use @DeDotFi shield to find malicious smart contracts
❍ Sort Revoke cash by 'Last Updated'

If you’re still not sure how to find the smart contract, feel free to DM me.

Once you’ve identified the malicious smart contract, here's what's next:

Step #2: Paste the contract address on an approval revoking tool

There are a few, including:
❍ @DeDotFi
❍ @RevokeCash
❍ Block explorers

Before pasting the smart contract, here’s one more thing to do:
Use the correct network on the smart contract

E.g. if the smart contract is on Polygon, it may not be available on other networks.

So you’ll need to switch your network to Polygon to identify it.

After pasting the contract address, we can move on to the last step:

Step #3: Revoke the approval
This is an on-chain transaction, so it’ll cost some gas.

💡 It can be expensive on certain networks like Ethereum.
And that’s it!
I would suggest making this a habit, especially for smart contracts that you only interact with once.
I’ve been too lazy on this part, but I’m hoping to change it too!

Haven't started on Polyhedra yet?
With the possible airdrop criteria announced, here's what I'd do starting from scratch:
