2. Marginfi Airdrop: Full Guide On Maximizing Points

Simple Overview:

• Marginfi is a lending/borrowing platform.

• They operate on a points system, where more points lead to a greater airdrop.

• Each dollar you lend/deposit equals 1 point, while each borrowed dollar equals 4 points.

Maximizing Points Whilst Reducing Liq Risk:

• $Msol is a Liquid-Staking Token (LST) from @MarinadeFinance, offering ~8% passive yield for staking.

• Msol and $sol are directly correlated; as $sol price increases, so does Msol and vice versa.

• Expect the Msol/sol ratio to increase over time due to the ~8% yield.

Maximizing Points:

• Deposit Msol

• Withdraw Sol

• Convert Msol to $sol to capture potential price appreciation.

• Stake Sol -> Msol:

• Stake $sol to Msol, benefiting from the correlation and earning rewards.

• Reinvest $sol to accumulate more points.

• Continue Looping.

Alternative Strategy with Stables:

• Deposit stablecoins like USDT, withdraw USDC, convert USDC -> USDT, and then deposit.

• Suitable for those not looking to capture $sol price appreciation.

Note:

• Always be mindful of potential risks and choose strategies based on personal risk tolerance.
