I never expected that meeting @Smokey_titan would lead me to go “all-in” on the Polygon ecosystem and open so many doors to so many Kaito projects. Because of Polygon, I discovered @katana, which led me down the rabbit hole of opening a massive number of Krates during the pre-deposit days. To my pleasant surprise, that equated to around 97,000 $vKAT tokens! Fast forward to now, I’m making around $225 per day from my DeFi positions on Morpho, having accumulated about $5k since mainnet launch. Katana led me to learn more about the partnership with @turtledotxyz. This sparked my curiosity about how I could earn more on my stables and optimize my yield. Now I’m earning 40–50% on them (earning separately) Because of Katana, I’ve also been able to share my learnings about Polygon such as the importance of PoS, Agglayer, payments, and how staking POL can lead to more Katana rewards. Lastly, thanks to Polygon (again), I discovered @billions_ntwk and reached Level 6, putting me in the top 9% of power earners. More importantly, it also taught me the importance of how identity through privacy can be achieved. Long story short - all it takes is one introduction to pull you into a project, and it can lead to a TON of positive outcomes. On top of earning through DeFi, because of Kaito, I also get to talk about it publicly and earn from climbing each respective leaderboard. That’s why I always say to use the apps, find out what you like (and don’t like), and share your journey. There’s been a lot of angry outcry about reply guy/girl mindshare being removed. My advice is this: use this as fuel to make content instead of just replying. Don’t be just a reply guy; be the influential person in your community that people trust by sharing and documenting your journey. Hope this encourages people who are struggling today to take this new challenge head-on, adapt, and thrive under these new changes. Love you everyone 🫶
