My Secret Web3 Morning Ritual (That Gives Me an Edge):

1. ☕ Coffee + On-Chain Sleuthing (5 min)

Scan Etherscan’s “Biggest Gas Spenders” – Spot early alpha (e.g., a no-name contract burning $10k in gas? Probably a dev testing something big).

Check Dune Dashboards for overnight trends (NFT wash trades? Uniswap pools getting drained?).

Why? – Most people check prices. I hunt for smart money footprints.
                                                                   continue a little more 👇

2. 🧠 “Dev Twitter” Deep Dive (10 min)

Search “*.sol” + “just deployed” on Twitter – Find unaudited contracts before they trend.

Skim GitHub commits from key repos (e.g., Polygon, Arbitrum) – Protocol upgrades = future airdrop clues.

Why? – The best alpha isn’t on CoinMarketCap—it’s in a dev’s cryptic tweet.

3. 💸 DeFi “Vampire Attack” Check (3 min)

Open Llama.Airforce – See if a new protocol is bribing voters to steal liquidity (e.g., a sudden 500% APR on Curve?).

Peek EigenLayer restaking queues – Capital rotation signals shifts in risk appetite.

Why? – Money flows where incentives are juiciest. Be the liquidity vampire, not the victim.

4. 🕵️♂️ Airdrop Paranoia (2 min)

Review wallet activity – Did I interact with a protocol before their token announcement?

Quick LayerZero or zkSync faucet drip – Still farming? Yes.

Why? – 80% of my 2023 gains came from being early, not trading.

5. 🎯 1 Priority Trade Setup (5 min)

Pick ONE high-conviction move (e.g., “If BTC holds $63.5k, long MKR”).

Set limit orders + stop-loss – Emotion kills edges.

Why? – Scattershot trading = mediocrity. One sharp bet > ten gambles.

The Edge?
Most people wake up to price charts and influencers. I start with raw chain data and dev chatter—the unfiltered truth of crypto.

Pro Tip: End the day with 10 min of blockchain archaeology (e.g., “Who funded this contract?”). Sleep smarter.
