How I farm perp DEX airdrops (without pretending I’m a pro trader)

gm,

I’ll be honest—I suck at predicting prices.

I don’t have some secret trading edge. No magical indicators. No “I knew it all along” hindsight.

But here’s the thing…

I don’t need to be a pro trader to farm perp DEX airdrops. I just need to know where to look.

My strategy: Let the pros do the heavy lifting

Instead of guessing, I check the Blocmates Discord, where legit traders drop their longs and shorts. The ones I pay attention to:

• Grant

• jedi blocmates

• danblocmates

• Lucky Luke

They do the hard work. I just copy trade them with low leverage—enough to build up trading volume, but not enough to get liquidated.

And guess what?

This strategy already got me Hyperliquid allocations on multiple wallets while staying slightly profitable from the trading.

Where I perp trade for airdrops right now

I’m spreading my trades across three perp DEXes:

• Avantis (my top choice if I had to pick just one)

• Hyperliquid (they still have a large portion to be distributed to the community)

• DESK (a tokenless dex that could do well, use referral FNSZRJ3)

The “farming fee” mindset

You can even short on one DEX and long on another, treating the trading fees as a “farming fee”.

Some people love this idea. Personally? I don’t like strategies that drain you if there’s no airdrop. I want to at least break even—and so far, following the Blocmates crew has actually kept my trading slightly profitable even without counting the airdrops.

No complex strategies. No pretending I’m a market wizard. Just smart positioning and letting the pros guide the way.

If an airdrop comes, great. If not? I’m still standing.

And so far? It’s already paid off.
