The earlyZERO portion of the airdrop has ended and now you just receive ZERO for you lending and borrowing on Zero lend and the staking rate is above 100% APR on ZERO so it may be worth running some assets through the platform and depositing and then borrowing eth or usdc/usdt and then swapping it to eth and bridging to blast HMX where the APY is currently above 150% for the HLP countertrading and leveraged market making product and also have short eth equal to the HLP balance as it is mostly ETH and a little USDB so to hedge the apy I will be shorting the ETH perp futures for the funding rate of 30% ish as well which will help lock in the values to mkt neutral earning about 100% average in USDB as well as esHMX and blast points. AAVE and Compound were used as the main deposit vehicles for the initial assets for collateral focused on USDC as it is getting a ARB airdrop as well as USDC on Radient for the ARB aridrop as well. I also locked my zero up for 4 years in order to get the high APR which I will cash out part of it as I go and also re invest some of it as well at the 4 year tier and 4 years from now there will be unlocking ZERO each week or month depending on how much I accumulate. Same with Radient as it unlocks over one year to get the max APR in 8 diff tokens and you then get RDNT as well based on the deposits and lending which can be claimed after a 90 day vesting period. esHMX is vested over a one year period once you start vesting but it earns at 100% APR and until I get 50 esHMX I will keep compounding it. MUX is another perp exchange that I have deposited liquidity in and it pays out in eth on arbitrum and is a aggregator of other perp exchanges like HMX is for GMX. AARK and LogX are two other perp exchanges that I am also using to get the airdrops of AARK and MUX. I have also been messing around with Stryke a options AMM which is interesting and have only put a little bit on it to test it out just like the other protocols below. These are my test positions so I can learn how they work and decide if I want to allocate more to them or how I can hedge the portfolio more effectively before using larger dollar amounts. I have posted some of my small test positions below along with some referral links that benefit both people with discounts on fees and all that so if you are interested in checking any of them out and feel like using my links I would appreciate it as no one benefits if no links are used so might as well get a piece of the pie lol.
I use AAVE to deposit mostly USDC to farm the airdrop for Arb then also borrow BTC, ETH etc from it to deposit on compound where I then borrow USDC to deposit on radient to borrow and deposit on zero lend borrow bridge to arb or blast and deposit on HMX, MUX, GMX, AARK, LogX, Stryke, Hegic, Pendle, Stargate, and a few other protocols on various chains to take advantage of different benefits and hedging like the perp exchanges and options exchanges have products that trade against the traders and most traders lose so those products tend to do well, options and futures can be used to short and collect the funding rate or premiums from the positions bringing in extra income and lowering portfolio volatility.
