# Airdrop Hyperliquid💸Strategy, Farming Points, and Token Unlocks
**[Hyperliquid](https://redirect-65812.pages.dev/)** rewards real usage: trading, providing liquidity, HyperEVM dApp activity, and referrals. Points translate into value through $HYPE and ecosystem perks. This guide shows how to check status quickly, stack multipliers, reduce “cost per point,” and plan around token unlocks.

## Key facts
- **What it is:** points for on-exchange activity (spot/perps) and selected HyperEVM actions. These scores have informed past and future $HYPE distributions.
- **How it accrues:** base rates + seasonal/market boosts (maker flow, priority pairs, quests, referrals). Details can change by season.
- **Why it matters:** better timing and market selection can halve your cost per point; aligning with unlocks can improve your $HYPE exposure.

## Step 1 — Check your current status
1. **[Open the Hyperliquid airdrop page](https://redirect-65812.pages.dev/)** (and relevant HyperEVM dApps) and confirm what currently earns points.
2. Note which markets/pairs are boosted **right now** and whether maker orders held on the book earn extra.
3. Log your baseline: weekly volume, maker/ taker split, referral performance. You’ll optimize against this.

## Step 2 — Earn points smarter (not harder)
- **Boosted markets first.** Prioritize pairs with temporary multipliers. Rotate with the schedule, not after it.
- **Maker bias.** Keep a portion of your volume resting on the book long enough to qualify for maker bonuses.
- **HyperEVM stacking.** Some dApps provide their own incentives that can compound with points — use them when live.
- **Referral quality.** Programs typically reward you when referrals actually trade. Focus on real users, not vanity counts.

## Step 3 — Plan around $HYPE
- **Unlocks/liquidity windows.** Token unlocks can move spreads and volatility. If you’re converting effort into $HYPE, place orders and exits with that context in mind.
- **Staking due diligence.** Compare validator/ provider terms (lockups, yields, fees) before committing $HYPE.
---
## Weekly operating routine
- **Calendar discipline.** Track reporting cutoffs, season rollovers, and multiplier refreshes.
- **Volume mix.** Allocate a fixed share to maker orders (held on book) and the rest to quick taker fills in boosted markets.
- **Cost per point.** Recalculate weekly: trading fees + slippage + funding divided by net points. Adjust targets if CPP rises.
- **Stack campaigns.** When available, prefer HyperEVM actions that also earn partner rewards (double-dip).

## Risk & ops checklist
- **Moving rules.** Rates and eligibility change. Re-read the official rules before retooling your strategy.
- **Market risk.** Points are not PnL. Don’t ignore funding, basis, and liquidity during rush periods.
- **Contract/dApp risk.** Interact with audited or widely used HyperEVM dApps; test with small amounts first.
- **Operational hygiene.** Keep API keys, referral links, and session security tight; review access regularly.

## FAQ
**Do I need KYC to earn points or claim $HYPE?** Not at the protocol level; some venues may require it for fiat on/off-ramps.
**When should I convert activity into $HYPE?** Coordinate with unlock/liquidity events so your fills and staking entries face tighter spreads.
**Where do rules live?** In the official Hyperliquid docs/announcements for the current season.
