Andy's Alpha #18
Early opportunities I've heard of, builders delivering alpha, timely releases coming soon, and state of things!
Andy’s Alpha is free. It will always be. If you wanna support my work feel free to upgrade to a paid sub below:
GM fam, hope all is going well. Really pushing forward this week after a good weekend. Had tons of action last week on Twitter and my partner Rob just got back from Messari Mainnet in NYC, tons of info coming sooooon (especially for the agenda subs)
Speaking of the inner circle, on top of the heavy Messari content review & info from all the teams we have calls with this week, I’m giving away three Dave The Wave one-month subs.
Its VERY likely that if you subscribe to my newsletter, you get the free sub.
I’ll hook it up fam.
Anyways, just posted up at a nice surf break in Central America, after an eventful weekend.
Everything gonna be alright, its the typical LATAM hammer.
Anyways, lets get into approved alpha. My first piece is a project we just recently started collab’ing with on The Rollup, PRINT3R.
A derivatives DEX soon to be live on BASE (the Coinbase L2, which has FriendTech).
The aim for Print3r is to create an immersive environment where traders and content creators can earn rewards, and create a gamified environment. Its currently a GMX fork, but has plans to expand and innovate outside of just being a fork.
On the more positive side, by launching on Base and giving users a familiar feel, including one-click trading and some account abstraction features it should be an easy onboarding experience for users.
PRINT3R has launched their ambassador program recently is also about to open its beta testnet application, with an airdrop likely for early participants. NFA.
I think the gamification idea is basically their edge until they differentiate their product. Definitely worth participating in.
For more details and guides, check out the docs here.
SpiralDAO is the official sponsor of Andy’s Alpha.
I’ve been speaking with the team tons and I am excited about what’s to come for SpiralDAO. At its core the protocol is a liquid locker, where you can deposit governance tokens and earn high yields while having liquid tokens. They just launched a StakeDAO collab, with a SDT vault as well.
You deposit SDT tokens and receive sprSDT, which has a number of advantages as seen above. Guuud UI/UX, guuud tech, smart team, easy to work with.
Get started with the high liquid locker yields here.
OKU is the official sponsor of Andy’s Alpha.
Oku is dope. It takes the best mechanics of Uniswap v3 (concentrated liquidity) and makes it similar to trading on a CEX basically. No fees for you. When Andy sees no fees for his frens, he supports. If you’re gonna trade on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, or Optimism, gib it a shot. It even has a BitMEX-esque chatbox, except Arthur isn’t trading against you.
Maybe you’ll meet a whale who will help you navigate the onchain dark forest. Or maybe a gf. Mega based. If you don’t try, you’ll never know. Jump in here.
