Friktion Airdrop and Lightning OG NFT

Description

Friktion has an airdrop coming up, when they release their token. We have solid ideas around how we can qualify for this. Getting involved in Volts (their structured products), using Entropy, and owning a Lightning OG NFT are all involved.

See Friktion deep dive article for full details on the platfrom.

Proposal

Use Phantom wallets to qualify for Friktion airdrop by using the platform, buying the NFT and testing Entropy exchange.

I propose a 7 SOL limit on the purchase price of each Lightning OG NFT (was 5, 7 due to price action recently).

Strategy and Execution

If we have access/ability to use multiple addresses, this would be preferred. I would ideally like to use 5 Phantom wallets for the airdrop farming, although I’m not sure of the logistical set up of the Alpha DAO wallets.

Steps

  • Load each wallet with 10 SOL
  • Buy 1 Lightning OG NFT (for each wallet)
  • Swap 0.25 SOL to USDC and use this to play around with Entropy exchange.
    • This is not a necessary steps but a nice add on as it may be a multiplying factor.
  • Swap 3/4 of the remaining SOL for USDC
  • Use the remaining SOL in the SOL call option Volt (low voltage, meaning low risk).
  • Split USDC 1/3 between Volts 2 (puts Volt), 3 (crab strategy), and 4 (targets delta neutral).

If we don’t use 5 wallets, I propose we buy 5 Lightning OG NFTs anyway (potential to up this number to 10 if we agree on it).

Either way, for the NFTs I propose selling 40% at a 2x, and holding the remaining 60% with a view of evaluating their position when more is known about the airdrop.

For the Volt positions, I propose we leave the funds in there until we hear more about the airdrop, potentially moving them around depending on market movements and Volt performance, but I will keep an eye on this.

Proposal 20 has been executed :white_check_mark:

  • Swapped 3,500 USDC for ~50 SOL
  • Kept 10 SOL in main wallet and sent 40 SOL to 4 wallets
    • HVGHY5kUKC6i67GZW1ERbPK3MhpjLv9r2whxTKFP2r5n (Karim’s Alpha-DAO address)
    • HDskPhzeAbAhTmzQawoj7HFPAZXVEgFQW9F9wqY16m5o (Alpha-DAO 2)
    • GnpT5ktV3ENpuhr8CZTtquUuJ7oArE1LYSRKCayzpSry (Friktion Airdrop 1)
    • 8WJg1SNrMtqX18entSkfPjfNcK7tXum72tspzQJL8iW4 (Friktion Airdrop 2)
  • Bought 1 Lightning OG NFT from each wallet (Total Paid: 34.88 SOL)
  • Swapped 0.25 SOL to USDC in each address and used Entropy Markets (1 BTC-PERP Trade)
  • Put 0.3 SOL from each address in the SOL call option Volt
  • Swapped 2.4 SOL to USDC in each address and used 0.8 SOL in 3 strategies (Volts 2, 3, 4)
