HMX DAO units have been in a decline recently down to as low as a dollar where I was able to pick up a few extra units as that is way undervalued in my opinion and the price is already bounced back up to about 2 dollars so getting a quick `100% on the new tokens helped offset some of the loss of value as did the ZRO airdrop which was mostly HMX that got me that as well as a future airdrop of FDX tokens that will likely be announced when the exchange is closer to launching but they are using HMXs codebase to launch on base and compensate HMX with a revenue share through token issuance which will be passed though to HMX stakers via a airdrop which has yet to be officially confirmed but both teams have indicated this is what will be happening so the token likely has not priced this in yet. Also a new incentivized LP on uniswap v2 for HMX/ETH is live providing a huge APR in esHMX rewards which is something you may want to take advantage of in order to get more cash flow in the future and use current earnings to add to the LP and get a larger slice of the pie of earnings from fees with a bigger balance of esHMX that can be obtained by staking your liquidity on HMX via the dashboard after depositing via uniswap. This may also potentially qualify you for the FDX airdrop but im not sure if esHMX would receive any or if it is just for HMX stakers that have un escrowed HMX with no vesting but we will see a airdrop will be a win for the HMX token and its price all around bc it will then share in the revenue going forward for all FDX transactions as well since staking the FDX tokens will be similar to HMX and receive the allocated % of revenue. I also participated in the FDX seed capital raise which is raising at a 1.5 million dollar valuation max and is currently set to be at around 600K with the contributions made so we may get about 3X more tokens than the max valuation depending on what it is when it closes. I only put 100 dollars the minimum in so what ever that gets me as well as my airdrop from HMX gets me will be what I stake in FDX and the volumes in the beginning are likely to produce a lot of fees due to trading incentives which is what paid out most HMX holders there original capital back who invested in there seed round and now its gravy for many of them and they can keep collecting fees in perpetuity as long as HMX and FDX are around they will provide fees. There will also be a surge incentive for FDXs countertrading product like HLP and in the beginning the incentives will be huge compared to later on so you would want to participate early on in order to get the most benefit and pull out your cost as fast as possible to get to gravy status where the price no longer really matters and you just collect your cash flow, airdrops and other incentives while staking your units.

Tokens that provide cash flow like this based on the fees earned by a exchange are similar to the model that Aqualis DAOs AQL units will provide to stakers and will be rewarding for long term stakers who lock up the units for the longest time period as well as provide liquidity to the protocol to earn additional AQL via emissions in the early days as well as through airdrops which currently there is a telegram airdrop going on which you can get up to 100K for first place and up to 450K AQL total units are allocated to the drop so use the link below and get in the telegram channel for your chance to win a few thousand dollars in AQL units that will provide a ongoing cash flow stream once AQL is launched and you stake the units which can be used to fund your SPL or other gaming accounts. If you win a top spot you could depending on the volume the DEX does be able to support buying a decent amount of gaming assets with the top prizes as well as get a interest in a innovative exchange that also has a splinterlands market place and a top tier splinerlands guild so the exchange will be tied in with splinerlands and be a wat for spl players to manage there earnings more efficiently than say on tribal dex where the trading volumes are low compared to what they likely will be on EVM compatible chains and with a high quality dex and deep liquidity for the lps. They will also be letting you borrow against your liquidity in the exchange so that will allow you to manage capital more efficiently without selling your positions and still collect fees on them even if you are borrowing against them.

Vaultka is another interesting token VKA which lets you earn a % of the fees earned by the Vaultka protocol which provides many intersting
high yield stable coin and also leveraged countertrading perp exchange vaults, for example HMX has a leveraged vault on Vaultka where users can get exposure to up to 10X leverage on some of the vaults listed adding a bit of extra risk but also a lot of extra profit potential as well. VKA tokens staked for the maximum will earn the most fees from the platform as well as esVKA which earns you more fees when staked and it can also be unlocked but I do not plan on unlocking until the distribution phase is over so i can keep my share of the pie without losing earnings. All of these cash flowing tokens can be great ways to fund your splinterlands account and using some of the exchanges to hedge and do other things may get you a airdrop or two as well which can be worth thousands. Take ZRO for example I used HMX which enabled me to get 250 ZRO as a airdrop and those tokens ended up being worth a good 1000 dollars for me as well as ZKs airdrop where the initial value of the drop was about 1300 for me. ARB drops have been valued at about a grand this year for me as well and some smaller drops like blast which is still going on for me as well as ZERO which I got about 100 dollars. Also have a bunch of airdrops coming up from Magpie and others that I have been farming like gravitas, LXP-L, FDX, Eigen Layer points, Kelp DAO points, Turtle Club points, and sub dao airdrops from Magpie for Cakepie and two others that are dropping likely to make my MGP stake go up in value quite a bit based on the three current drops that happened for the sub daos and how much value they added to the token which was about 30 million in value from a very small few million starting value before the sub dao model was completed and proven. I expect them to keep increasing drops and cash flow and there fore there units are likely to keep increasing as the underlying platforms keep increasing as well so if all of the protocols do well then magpie will do exceptionally well as it offers a way to participate in the voting and locking at the highest levels without actually locking up the tokens for say 4 years and lets you say lock up for 30-60 days instead which is much more convent now you may earn a little less due to some fees but you will not be trapped for 4 years and that concept seems to be catching on based on the growth of magpies dao units market cap this year. I believe it did about a 10X and its poised to do another big jump once the three new tokens and sub daos come out and start dropping to the unit holders of MGP and if previous drops like pendle do well also the units could go up pretty fast say if pendle recovers from this crash really fast as it is one of the biggest sub daos it would impact he price alot and once there are more and more sub daos as this concept can be applied to almost any project with lockable tokens magpie will grow and it has first mover advantage in the space as not many other daos are doing what they are letting them get all the investments. Master daos like magpie are used to control voting power and they get paid to vote certain ways i believe which is where the bribe income comes from as people can buy the mgp unit holders votes to vote on emissions for certain pools of the tokens that they hold for example on pancake swap you will be able to get additional cake on your lp by bribing on mgp for votes which enhances the yield.
All of these things can be used airdrops, cash flowing tokens etc to fund your splinterlands gaming account and if you have not signed up sign up at https://splinterlands.com?ref=hbcdao1
Another game to check out is Lords Forsaken its a new game on EVM network Linea and will be launching shortly and is in test mode now where you can earn a exclusive NFT for testing along with its in game currency if you are on the top of the test leaderboard which will let you get your first packs in order to play the game. People who get in now and play to test it out will get rewarded and may be able to build up there decks for free or very low cost. Especially with FAITH the token being down about 25% from the market crash will leave a opportunity to get cheaper tokens and provide liquidity in the faith/eth lp as all packs will be purchased though this pool and all eth will say be converted to faith giving fees to the lp providers for every purchase in game. Right now the lP is earning about 75% APR in oLYNX which you can use to bribe the pool to get more emissions as well or use it to pair with other currencies to take part in farming other pools as well to spread out risk. Sign up for lords forsaken here at my link and use metamask if you want to be eligible for the free card and free faith if you place on the leader boards and there are only a few players in the testing right now so placing on the leader board should not be that hard before the main launch of the game when there will be much more competition. At least then i will have a leg up since i already have 10 packs i opened which is letting me win more matchs in the practice so this time i should finish in the top of the leaderboard for one of the top prizes worth in faith 10-40 dollars plus the gold NFT for the top 3 places and the top place gets 3 second gets 2 an third gets one copy and the next 17 get a regular foil copy. This is the last test phase so get in now! I was able to win 100 faith last test phase plus my 10 packs of cards which is worth a good 40 dollars and will let me build my deck up now and start with what ever i win from the last test phase in faith which will go part to new packs and part to the LP to enhance earnings from that and all of my in game earnings will go to the LP until it produces a few dollars a day to fund a purchase of a pack daily to build my deck up and get as many alpha packs as possible from earning in the game and via the lp. I will also be buying a amount in the beginning using some of my SPL rewards in order to diversify into a new game as well so i can start diversifying my gaming portfolio a bit more and get into some of the newer games that are just starting and giving away incentives and are just less expensive to get into right now which may prove to be a good move in the next leg up in the bull run as many games that are being built now on EVM chains like linea will benefit from airdrops and also a lot of users eyeballs will see games on EVM chains and it will be easier to onboard people.
