I Tide to Warn You
Dear Future Whales,
In today’s note, we cover a brief summary of the results from Blast’s TGE, which received a mixed reaction, along with several other upcoming token claim opportunities to be aware of. There is a new quest from Futureverse, and I share an announcements that will surely push the space forward. Lastly, I share a podcast featuring Yat Siu from Animoca. Let’s dive in!
Summary:
Follow-up on Blast TGE + More Token Opportunities

💣 Last Week’s Blast TGE + New Token Drops.
Following up on last week’s note and my thread on X.com, many anticipated the price of Blast to be around $5, with some optimistic projections even reaching $10. However, the reality fell short at just $0.02 as of this morning. Given the multipliers offered and the limited supply, a lower price was to be expected, despite higher hopes. Nevertheless, it's not all bad news—there are promising opportunities to claim token airdrops in the near future. See the details below.
Rainbow.me = Points and Token Drops.
ETH will be airdropped to the most active Rainbow users every week. While this might favor the whales, the Rainbow wallet dApp is solid. Unless you're committed to Metamask or Coinbase Wallet, it can't hurt to explore more with Rainbow.
Portals: Earn Points = Likely Token Claim later
Portals.to has just introduced Staking. Stake your Portals.to NFTs to accrue points based on their rarity. The infrastructure is exceptionally smooth.
There's one catch: you’ll need to pay 300 USDC to unlock this interface. While it's a bit pricey, if you own Portals NFTs, it's likely essential for potential future token opportunities.
SegMint: Earn XP + Level Up= $SGTM (Est. Q1)
Segmint.io has been live since February, but you still have time to claim your free Adventurer NFT, which gets you started with earning XP. You'll be on your way to leveling up your character, which will play a role in your share of rewards.
👟 Futureverse Quest 12 - Earn ROOT Token
The recent Futureverse initiative, 'Reebok Impact,' has transitioned into an official quest open until July 24th. Participants are invited to upload their favorite image, which will be transformed into a shoe design using AI technology. To complete the quest, users need to pay approximately $8 USD to 'Mint' the shoe as an official wearable. Completing this quest will provide you both with an opportunity to earn a future Score and qualify you for a ROOT token reward.
While on the topic of Metaverse wearables, Futureverse made a groundbreaking announcement. One of the greatest challenges in building an open Metaverse environment is solving the interoperability issues between items. Futureverse just announced their solution, which should have other Metaverse projects wondering how they did it. See the thread for more details.

Cryptocurrency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, or a store of value, but it does not have legal tender status. Cryptocurrencies are sometimes exchanged for U.S. dollars or other currencies around the world, but they are not generally backed or supported by any government or central bank. Their value is completely derived by market forces of supply and demand, and they are more volatile than traditional currencies. The value of cryptocurrency may be derived from the continued willingness of market participants to exchange fiat currency for cryptocurrency, which may result in the potential for permanent and total loss of value of a particular cryptocurrency should the market for that cryptocurrency disappear. Cryptocurrencies are not covered by either FDIC or SIPC insurance. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange, and value of cryptocurrency.
Investing in cryptocurrencies comes with a number of risks, including volatile market price swings or flash crashes, market manipulation, and cybersecurity risks. In addition, cryptocurrency markets and exchanges are not regulated with the same controls or customer protections available in equity, option, futures, or foreign exchange investing. There is no assurance that a person who accepts a cryptocurrency as payment today will continue to do so in the future.
Investors should conduct extensive research into the legitimacy of each individual cryptocurrency, including its platform, before investing. The features, functions, characteristics, operation, use and other properties of the specific cryptocurrency may be complex, technical, or difficult to understand or evaluate. The cryptocurrency may be vulnerable to attacks on the security, integrity or operation, including attacks using computing power sufficient to overwhelm the normal operation of the cryptocurrency’s blockchain or other underlying technology. Some cryptocurrency transactions will be deemed to be made when recorded on a public ledger, which is not necessarily the date or time that a transaction may have been initiated.
· Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication and willingness to bear the risks of an investment and a potential total loss of their entire investment in cryptocurrency.
· An investment in cryptocurrency is not suitable or desirable for all investors.
· Cryptocurrency has limited operating history or performance.
· Fees and expenses associated with a cryptocurrency investment may be substantial.
There may be risks posed by the lack of regulation for cryptocurrencies and any future regulatory developments could affect the viability and expansion of the use of cryptocurrencies. Investors should conduct extensive research before investing in cryptocurrencies.
