I’ve been experimenting with a delta-neutral farming strategy across @TxFlow_L1 + @arcus_xyz.
TxFlow is still early (first points week just concluded), which is exactly why I think it’s interesting to test now: potentially attractive points, less crowded positioning, but also more execution friction and less mature tooling (no API yet).
The setup is simple in theory:
* Long the asset on one venue
* Short the same asset on the other
* Stay roughly delta neutral
* Farm funding / points while trying to enter at a favorable cross-venue basis
The hard part is execution.
I built a scanner that looks for the best TxFlow/Arcus pairs based on:
* executable cross-venue basis
* funding / persistence
* liquidity
* leverage supported on both venues
* actual fees
* slippage at the intended hedge size
It also models a better entry than just market-ordering both legs.
Since Arcus currently has 0% maker fees, the preferred flow is:
Arcus ALO limit order → wait for maker fill → hedge that exact filled amount manually on TxFlow with an IOC limit order
This avoids paying taker fees on both sides and lets me control slippage on the hedge.
I also built a semi-automatic executor:
* scanner picks the best opportunity
* shows me the asset, direction and max common leverage
* I choose the final notional
* Arcus maker order is automated
* when Arcus fills, the remaining maker order is cancelled
* the script tells me exactly what to do on TxFlow: side, quantity and protective IOC price
* if the IOC only partially fills, I hedge the remainder more aggressively rather than staying directional
Until TxFlow has an official trading API, I prefer keeping the TxFlow leg human-in-the-loop rather than relying on fragile browser automation.
The goal isn’t to maximize raw APR. It’s to maximize net farming efficiency after fees, spread and execution costs.
Hit me up if you want the scanner script.

Not bad, but aiming higher

.@metricxyz looks like the next big thing to farm.
I sent my agent to go through its code, and this is what it found:
1. Swaps earn points when routed through Metric. The swap route list shows a star badge labelled “Earns Metric points” next to the metric provider only. Routes through Kyber, 0x and the others don’t get it.
Tip: you can use the Pools section to see which native pools exist. Only these will grant you points.
2. Points come from referrals. I'm guessing you'll be getting a % of your refs points.
3. Couldn't find evidence of points related to LPing, but i'm trying it anyway since it makes sense.
Found this neat tool which could help: metric.tools/
If you're thinking of framing Metric, please consider using my ref link:

I just applied to the guest list for the @topfloorfun NFT mint 🥂 Application No. 5344. 250 seats get chosen. Apply here: list.topfloor.fun/?ref=PN3PX…
.@paperdao_xyz seems like a good way to get early exposure to @papertrade_xyz .
They are raising funds via the famous @daosdotworld and planning to start farming PaperTrade from the first block.
Super cool idea and all, only question is - how to get WL?
Claim your lost $SOL!
Every time you buy a new token on Solana, you have to create a token account, which locks up a small amount of SOL.
Once that token account is empty, you can close it and recover the SOL.
This tool does this for you

It's always amazing how quickly sentiment shifts in crypto.
A week ago everything was dead; now tokens and NFTs are exploding, with new projects, fundraising, and innovation.
That's why I love this market.
OK so I caved to fomo and bridged some $ETH to @RobinhoodCrypto.
What are we buying?
