This is not confirmed, but there is some shady stuff going on insiders, if it's someone on the team. None of this is confirmed, but I want to this. So, stick until the end of this like in this video, and let's get straight into the sauce. So, thanks to Vog for this thread because it is very, very clear to me that there is something insiders or people very close to the team are manipulating poly market airdrop markets and there is a full onchain breakdown in this tweet. So this is about the lighter airdrop before December 31st market in the final days activity became highly suspicious. Basically fresh wallets and the same funding source. multiple newly created wallets created just days before the deadline funded from the same Kraken hot wallet immediately betting on lighter be going into every single small detail, but I just want to go over everything. So, first of all, you have this wallet with $150,000 betting on airdrop before with $150,000 betting on airdrop before December 31st, 29. Wallet 2 has $100,000 source is the same for both. Okay, this wallet right here, this already suggests multi-wallet coordination, not organic betting. Now, here is the key insider linked wallet. Wallet 3 bought yes over a month ago funded via relay bridge and that address has historical transactions with 6352 address which is this one right here. Now, this is direct link to lighter deposits. This same wallet deposited $1.5 million into lighter and it's linked to this other address right here. This wallet was newly created, received $50,000 from Coinbase, deposited into lighter before any public announcement, private beta or invite only access. This wallet can only be a team wallet, early partners or insiders with privileged access, not a regular user. Right there is a very important link with the team of lighter right here. Now, the odds manipulation near deadline, many new wallets appeared betting on yes airdrop before December 31st. Poly market odds shifted immediately. Either they are extremely confident gamblers or they know that the airdrop is officially delayed. Why the airdrop likely won't happen. 40 million volume in 3 months. Declining monthly, no real users, mostly farmers, weak market, low buying power. Launching an airdrop now makes little sense. Prediction markets fail here. You're betting against people who already know the outcome. Now, this is all very, very weird. We've seen there is definitely a connection between an insider or a team related wallet which deposited $1.5 million into lighter as I mentioned before any public announcement private beta or invite only access and there is a direct link with that wallet to a poly market interaction on chain as well. So this is weird. I mean the market is the lighter air drop before December 31st as people are playing with an advantage over you. Now, in terms of the actual a lot of speculation going on and we are not 100% sure about anything yet. So, I don't want to throw any ball out there without any actual proof or any uh reliable source of information. But what I want to do with you guys is show you for a moment why the lighter airdrop may not be as interesting and why there may very well be a much more interesting play right in front of us right now. So, as this thread mentions, 40 million volume, 3 months, declining monthly, no low buying power. So, it is not the best moment for an airdrop. Definitely, we but I want to show you something that you guys definitely need to hear. All right, so this is Pacifica, another perex that is based on Salana. You can see right here the progression before the massive liquidation event that happened on October, right? So we can see the open interest rising fast, the TVL multiplying exponentially and the per volume skyrocketing to a maximum in one day of 1.7 billion which is crazy. And then you can see the sharp decline after the massive liquidation event. Now it is very easy and very simple to farm understand what they may be worth in the future. So I have this calculator right here with a 25%age of the FDV designated for the airdrop. one point the predicted FDV of 500 million which is definitely more than achievable with this platform. We can see that the expected value of the points is 0.25 per point. Now the past week I think I traded like 100,000 volume which is nothing in the platform and I literally got 1,000 points just by doing 100,000 in volume. The fees I paid for this 100,000 volume were around I don't know 30 40 bucks in fees. Now, I got 1,000 points, and this is expected to be worth $240 when the airdrop happens with an FDV of 0.5 billion. It's crazy to think people are not actually taking this seriously. We have a huge opportunity to start growing and growing and growing. After the lighter airdrop, after the masses start pouring and pouring in again, it's going to be much harder to farm the same amount of points. As I mentioned, I got 1k points that's how simple and how easy it is. Even if the adv is smaller, even if it's 0.3 billion, it's still 133 bucks for what I spend like 30 bucks. Like, it's really crazy to think of the potential airdrop that we can get right now in January or February. Probably going to be later in the year. And this is a still have many months. We still have much more opportunities. There is a you guys this is something that you want to understand and to take advantage of because these trends don't happen much times in our lives and I think this is a very very good opportunity. Pacifica many users. It's the biggest on Salana. think it can really pay off in the future. So I know this video was about everything in the first part of the video and at the same time I wanted to just shine a light here and show an opportunity for you guys that I think is That's my own take on it. I'm going to be farming this airdrop again. I'm going platform from this week because I think we are getting closer and closer to a going to start pouring back into these per dexes and they're going to be searching for dexes that may have already a big airdrop ahead and that are now brand new. And this is why I think Pacifica is one of those amazing perexes guys. I think you got the point. Please let me know your thoughts in the about lighter, what you think is going to happen in the future. I want to hear like in this video, and I will catch you guys in the next one.
