There's plenty of buzz around fresh money-making narratives heading into 2026, sure. But here's the thing—solid fundamentals never really go away. They're your bedrock. The real question is what's actually working right now.
NFT season? Yeah, that's cooled down significantly. But derivatives markets are a different beast. Perps are still printing for users—and not just from directional bets. The real play is in point farming. When you pair trading volume with point accumulation mechanisms, you're essentially getting rewarded twice. That changes the entire risk-reward calculation.
It's less about chasing the hottest narrative and more about understanding where liquidity flows and incentives actually stack.

Perps point farming is the right way; it's much more reliable than blindly chasing hot trends.

Perps score farm is indeed awesome, double rewards are great, but what happens if liquidity dries up?

Point farming indeed makes money, but if risk control isn't done well, you'll still get cut like a leek.

I really don't believe in the bearish narrative, but the liquidity in this wave of perps definitely has some tricks.

Everyone, be aware that behind the double reward mechanism, there are often traps set by the whales. Before jumping in, think about why they are so generous.

NFTs are really cooling off, but the revenue from derivatives will never dry up. The key is whether you're willing to take the risk.

Liquidity is king; forget about the narrative, follow the money and you'll never go wrong.

Point farming sounds good, but in reality, it's just using trading volume to lull you into complacency. Be careful not to become a liquidity taker's ATM.

Pointing out this approach is indeed ruthless; the dual benefits make it much more stable than just focusing on one direction.
