Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.

This Newsletter is brought to you by Vector Reserve:
Vector Reserve is the issuer of vETH, the world’s first Liquidity Position Derivative (LPD). It’s a very cool protocol, which wants to introduce a diversified, risk adjusted reserve currency built on ETH.
Users can mint vETH using LRTs/LSTs or ETH. Vector will then pair them into liquidity positions to boost their yields via additional LP fees, DEX emissions, and soon, Superfluid Staking.
Vector has introduced vPoints as a way to aggregate EigenLayer Points and the various LRT rewards points (Kelp, EtherFi, Renzo, Puffer, Swell) into a single Point that gives the widest possible exposure to all key liquid restaking rewards, whilst also boosting yields.

L3s have been all over the timeline recently. Here’s a very helpful explainer if you were wondering what the difference was.
5. W analysis
Wormhole dropped their token this week. Here’s some analysis on Wormhole and potential partners that might reward W stakers in the future.
Random protocol update
One of the largest DeFi protocols on Solana has released their airdrop checker. If you have used Kamino then you might be eligible.
Airdrop opportunity
Backpack
I really think Backpack are going to become a very competitive exchange. The team is exceptional.
They recently raised 17M in their series A, and have one of the best wallets on Solana.
Try the exchange and do a few trades to get your volume up. You might also find you enjoy trading there.
Don’t fade.
