Let’s talk about Airdrops baby, let’s talk about  you and me! Let’s talk about all the tokens,  
[16]
and the rewards that may be…let talk about drops.  Yup this episode is all about those coming crypto  
[25]
airdrops for the rest of 2022. Aka free money in  your pocket for using the world of cryptocurrency.  
[33]
So let’s drop it like it’s hot,  because it’s time for Chico Crypto!!
[41]
Sooo, of any youtubers out there…I’m  the only one calling airdrops before  
[45]
they happen and the big ones too. DyDX,  ENS, and more recently Paraswap, and COW  
[51]
from Gnosis chain. This has led to massive  rewards for those who took the time to DYOR  
[57]
and get involved, which have totaled  some over $250 thousand dollars!
[62]
Well let’s do this one more time…beginning with  some of the biggest coming ones…beginning with  
[68]
the most popular, thus will most likely  have a very large starting market cap,  
[73]
breaking into the top 100 with ease.
[77]
That is….Metamask. Metamask has over 30  million monthly active users which leads  
[83]
to over 207 million in annual revenue. They are a  dominant force in the non custodial wallet space,  
[91]
and have shown they are seriously profitable.
[94]
So Consensys are the owners of Metamask, and  Consensys founder Joe Lubin got the hype of  
[100]
Metmask airdrop started back in November of last  year. In response to someone saying they wouldn’t  
[107]
drop a token Joe said “Andrew, ConsenSys has  thousands of tokens on our balance sheet.  
[114]
ConsenSys is vigorously controlled by its  employees, which includes me. And we are  
[119]
driving towards decentralization of several  of our projects. Wen $MASK? Stay tuned…”
[127]
So why am I bringing up the MASK token  now? Well me thinks it’s coming very soon…
[133]
Well March 15th, just over 2 weeks ago, Joe  Lubin talked to Decrypt and this is what was said  
[140]
“According to ConsenSys CEO Joe Lubin, MetaMask is  pursuing "progressive decentralization" "There’s  
[147]
a great user interface that we’re going  to launch pretty soon," said Lubin in an  
[152]
interview with Decrypt. As part of its plan to  pursue its various goals, MetaMask soon will be  
[157]
launching a Decentralized Autonomous Organization  or DAO. "There is a DAO that is being being formed  
[164]
right now in the context of MetaMask," Lubin  added. Lubin did not provide further details about  
[171]
the DAO or a date for its launch, but did confirm  that MetaMask is intending to launch a token.
[178]
Decentralization, DAO, and token. It’s coming  and I bet sooner than people realize. …sooo  
[186]
how are they going to do it?? Well they could  airdrop to all wallets equally, but that could  
[192]
be taken advantage of by farmers creating wallet  after wallet, taking advantage of that system.
[199]
Well, the only other functionality besides holding  crypto assets and letting you connect to web3,  
[205]
is a built in swapping protocol. So if you  haven’t made a swap yet… I would recommend it,  
[211]
and for your swapping needs for the foreseeable  future, I would utilize metmask swap just in  
[217]
case it based on volumes. That will put you in  the best position for this gargantuan airdrop.
[224]
But now it’s time to talk about an airdrop no  one see’s coming…If you didn’t know Energy Web  
[230]
Staking went live in December of last year, and  the second phase of this Consortia Relay Staking  
[236]
was announced 2 weeks ago. The Energy  Web twitter said “We're pleased, proud,  
[241]
and excited to announce that the second phase of  Energy Web Token Staking- Consortia Relay Staking  
[248]
has gone live! Your stake of EWT generates  north of 10% APY and will give you more Power  
[255]
in the future. Access here: with a link  to stake your EWT for this second phase…
[261]
They said by staking this will give you more  “Power” in the future…is power a token airdrop??  
[268]
Well Walter Kook, former CEO and now managing  director of Energy Web’s Innovation Lab  
[273]
has been tweeting about this second  phase of staking and in his tweets,  
[278]
he has had the hashtag “ProofofSnapshot”...
[282]
Power in the future, proof of snapshot…this has  
[285]
all the ingredients of a coming  airdrop…so what could this be?
[289]
Well Energy Web gave a hint of what  was coming in their November 2021 dSLA,  
[296]
decentralized service level assurance litepaper.  They said “On the dSLA platform, every business  
[303]
activity happens around $EWT. Energy Web Tokens  are required as security deposits from Providers  
[310]
and are needed for staking, allowing  Patrons to participate in network rewards.  
[315]
$EWT will also be the collateral locked up to  mint stable coins for payments on the platform.
[322]
EWT collateralized stablecoin? Yup that  is coming…but an airdrop of a stablecoin?  
[328]
No, No, No my friends. Now if you didn’t  know Micha Roon, was the Chief Innovation  
[334]
Officer and CTO of energy web from  April of 2019 to March of this year.
[339]
Well going to Micha’s Linkedin  
[342]
we can see he is now the CTO of a company  called bonk or bonq. So what is bonk??
[349]
Well it’s a new type of protocol. In his Linkedin  he says “they are a technology company providing  
[356]
solutions for self-sovereign finance. It allows  individuals and businesses to access liquidity  
[362]
of their assets without selling them, interest  free and with no need of credit approvals  
[368]
from third parties. By using assets as  collateral, Bonq allows users to issue a loan,  
[375]
backed by these assets. It will start with  cryptocurrencies and blockchain tokens,  
[380]
however in the future Bonq protocol  will support tokenized real-world  
[385]
assets, including shares of private  companies, IP, invoices and property.
[391]
So, it’s a way to use assets as collateral,  to get loans, which are interest free!  
[398]
How is this possible? Well Micha has given some  hints on twitter. He said “the transaction costs  
[404]
of the chain a stable coin is deployed to are  important in order to give all the participants  
[410]
a chance to profit. On the Energy Web  Chain 1 EWT gets you a lot of transactions.  
[417]
That is why Bonq will use the EWC. That  and the fact it runs on renewable energy.
[423]
So this will run on the energy web chain, and  the collateralized loans backed by EWT will  
[430]
issue a stablecoin to the borrowers but there  is more to this…it’s not your average stablecoin  
[437]
project. Micha also tweeted this “when  it comes to keeping a stable coin pegged,  
[442]
there is actually more profit to  be made from arbitrage than from  
[446]
interest.” and then this with a graphic  showing how it works the next week  
[452]
“One of the functionalities that will be  implemented on the Bonqn protocol is arbitrage, by  
[457]
participating in yield farming you keep the price  of the payment token stable! Are you excited yet?”
[464]
So are EWT holders getting dropped a stablecoin?  No…Micha actually put out a blog over the weekend  
[471]
titled “Good by to EWF - Hello bonq” and  in the blog he said “In September of 2021  
[478]
Walter asked me to join the Labs effort  to work on some great innovations.  
[483]
That is when we first devised the protocol for  bonq as an efficient way to finance renewable  
[488]
energy projects without crashing  the price of EWT. In January 2022,  
[493]
it became obvious that bonq would be a gazillion  € crypto project and that it had to be done.  
[501]
I can't tell you more than that we will start  with 2 partners and 10 tokens. When we launch,  
[507]
it will be with full regulatory blessing and a  front row seat on the next bull ride to the moon.
[514]
At launch, the bonq protocol will have 10  tokens!? I’m guessing a majority of those  
[521]
will be stablecoins based on countries currencies.  Stable USD, Stable Euro, Stable Yuan etcetera…but  
[529]
one of them will be a governance token…airdropped  to EWT stakers. Remember #proofofsnapshot….
[539]
And this theory was kind of confirmed here  recently…within test code for the Energy Web Chain  
[545]
we can see wrapped energy web token, and  bonq being used as collateral tokens…but  
[552]
what for?? Well further down in the code it’s  for stablecoins…they have a beuro, or bonq euro,  
[559]
an energy web based stablecoin of the euro!! And  then just yesterday, Micha Roon explained the  
[566]
tokens. He said “$BEUR is a payment token you  can mint yourself, based on the value of some  
[572]
collateral. $BNQ is a utility token that allows  you to get a discount on your $BEUR over time.  
[579]
And because there is no interest payment required  for minting $BEUR the discount % is always good”
[586]
Now these are the top 2 airdrops I see  coming soon for obvious reasons. But  
[591]
what about the other airdrops for 2022? Well  there are many projects, protocols, dapps, and  
[597]
wallets who are tokenless who could be launching  a token through an airdrop and a crypto snooper  
[604]
has put out a great list of possible drops from  the like. In total 30 possible airdrops. I would  
[611]
recommend checking out the thread and doing your  own research…it’s down in the description…but  
[618]
from his list, there is one I  see doing an airdrop very soon….
[623]
That is the zigzag exchange, a  decentralized exchange built on zkrollups,  
[629]
specifically zksync a rollup layer I also  see doing an airdrop. So by utulizing zigzag,  
[637]
you are also potentially setting  yourself up for their airdrop too.
[642]
Back in December of last year, in a demo of their  bridge…I showed the non-live bridge had an example  
[648]
of zigzag assets, and a balance of zig tokens….
[652]
Well just last week, zigzag put out a blog  post…and a tweet. The zigzag twitter said  
[660]
“We've started our research on exchange  coins for obvious reasons. Read our in-depth  
[667]
analysis…and in the blog they dive into different  exchange tokens, like BNB, FTX, Serum, Uniswap,  
[674]
Sushiswap, Bisq, and DyDx…but they end the blog  with this “Of the group, dYdX’s coin had the most  
[683]
intentional design. It’s clear documentation  made the incentives easy to understand,  
[689]
if not easy to model. If you’re going to take  inspiration from one exchange coin in 2022,  
[696]
the example of DYDX might offer this as a lesson:  incentivize the early traders and market makers;  
[703]
give them reason to stick around; add a dash of  inflation to encourage a search for yield (which,  
[709]
in turn, produces DAO participation);  and take care of the rest offline.
[715]
Sounds like ZigZag will be  taking inspiration from DyDx.  
[720]
Do you remember how big that one was!?  Massive…Cheers’ viewers I’ll see you next time!
