Airdrop & Yield Hunter

Job Title: Airdrop & Yield Hunter

Location: Remote / Worldwide

Job Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are looking for an Airdrop & Yield Hunter to identify, test, and document new crypto protocols, testnets, and yield opportunities. You will act as the firm's eyes and ears in DeFi and emerging ecosystems — finding projects that may airdrop tokens, testing their functionality, and reporting back with clear step‑by‑step guides. You will also monitor existing yield strategies (staking, lending, liquidity pools) to optimize returns. This is not a developer role — you do not need to write code. But you do need to be comfortable with wallets, testnets, bridges, and basic DeFi interactions. If you already have a personal history of claiming airdrops or farming yield, you are the perfect fit.

Key Responsibilities

• Airdrop Identification: Monitor sources (Twitter, Discord, Telegram, newsletters, forums) for potential airdrop opportunities — new L1/L2 networks, DeFi protocols, NFT projects, and infrastructure tools.
• Testnet Participation: Join testnets, complete tasks (transactions, swaps, liquidity provision, governance voting), and document requirements for potential mainnet token rewards.
• Yield Strategy Tracking: Keep a watchlist of high‑yield opportunities across lending protocols (Aave, Compound), liquid staking (Lido, Rocket Pool), DEX liquidity pools (Uniswap, Curve), and restaking (EigenLayer, Karak).
• Step‑by‑Step Documentation: Write clear, beginner‑friendly guides for each campaign — “How to interact with Protocol X on Testnet Y” — so other team members can replicate your actions.
• Wallet & Gas Management: Manage multiple wallets for farming, track gas costs, and ensure profitable net returns. Report on cost vs. expected value.
• Risk Awareness: Identify obvious scams, honeypots, and protocols with malicious intent. Keep internal risk register updated.
• Results Tracking: Log all claimed airdrops, yield earned, and associated costs (gas, bridging, fees). Provide weekly summaries to operations and treasury teams.

Who You Are

• A Proven Airdrop Participant: You have personally claimed at least 2 major airdrops (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism, Aptos, Starknet, EigenLayer, zkSync, or similar). Please list them in your application.
• A Yield Seeker: You have used DeFi protocols to earn yield on your own crypto — staking, lending, providing liquidity, or restaking. You understand APY vs. APR, impermanent loss, and slashing risks.
• Organized & Methodical: You can manage 10+ wallets, track transactions in a spreadsheet, and follow structured test plans without getting confused.
• Comfortable with Bridges & Multiple Chains: You have bridged funds between Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Solana, or other networks. You understand gas fees and transaction delays.
• Naturally Curious & Skeptical: You enjoy exploring new projects but do not fall for obvious scams. You verify contract addresses and check project legitimacy before connecting wallets.

Qualifications

• 1+ year of personal crypto experience with active participation in testnets or airdrop farming.
• Demonstrated ability to write simple guides or document processes (can be a personal blog, Notion page, or even detailed Discord notes).
• Familiarity with block explorers (Etherscan, Arbiscan, etc.) to verify transactions.
• Basic spreadsheet skills (Google Sheets or Excel) for tracking costs and rewards.
• Fluent English (written) — you will produce documentation for internal use.
• No professional experience required, but any background in QA, research, or community management is a plus.

Nice to Have

• Experience with automated tools (e.g., scripts for repeating interactions) — not required but helpful.
• Understanding of wallet fingerprinting and anti‑sybil measures.
• Active on Crypto Twitter or DeFi Discord communities.
• Small personal portfolio that you actively farm with.

Compensation & Benefits

• Annual Base Salary: $46,000 – $66,000, commensurate with experience.
• Performance Bonus: Bonus based on successful airdrop claims and yield optimization results.
• Gas & Tool Budget: Monthly allowance for transaction fees and premium tools (e.g., Dune, Nansen, AlphaGrowth).
• Token Grants: Eligibility for token grants from successfully farmed airdrops (you keep a percentage or receive cash equivalent).
• Remote‑First Culture: Fully remote. Flexible hours — work around testnet cycles and mainnet launches.
• Learning Budget: Reimbursement for DeFi courses and conference tickets.
• Home Office Support: One‑time setup stipend and monthly internet allowance.

Why Join?

You already do this for yourself — hunting airdrops, testing testnets, chasing yield. Now you can do it as a job. You will have a budget for gas fees, access to paid tools, and a team that values your discoveries. Your work will directly inform the firm's treasury and investment strategies. If you enjoy being early, documenting your findings, and getting rewarded for your curiosity, this is the role.

How to Apply

Please apply directly through this LinkedIn job post. Alternatively, you may send your application to [email protected] with the subject line "Airdrop & Yield Hunter – [Your Name]". In your email, include a link to your LinkedIn profile and a brief summary of your personal airdrop and yield farming experience — specifically list which airdrops you have claimed, which testnets you have participated in, and any yield strategies you have used. A sample guide (even for a single protocol) is a strong plus. Only candidates who meet the initial criteria will be contacted.
