Don't Say There's Nothing to Do in a Bear Market, These Four Types of Smart People Are Already Quietly Making Money

In a crypto market filled with noise and unproductive debates, opportunities still exist for those who adapt to the new meta. While past trends like Play-to-Earn, Move-to-Earn, and airdrop farming have faded, four current pathways offer real earnings: 1. **X Platform Monetization**: Verified creators can earn $500–$2,000 monthly through X’s revenue-sharing program based on impressions from Premium users. 2. **Ambassador Programs**: Structured programs from projects like Alchemy Pay and Injective offer monthly stable payments (e.g., 200 USDT base) and performance bonuses for community contributions. 3. **Discord Moderators**: Managing Discord servers by answering questions, handling tickets, and banning scammers provides a steady income. 4. **Developer Programs**: Coders can earn through builder initiatives, bounties, and grants. Examples include Zama’s program with 15,000 cUSDT in prizes, Arc’s Architects plan rewarding contributions, and Ink’s grants up to 200,000 USDC for dApp development. The key insight is that opportunities shift with each market phase—from gaming and walking to clicking and now building. Success requires self-assessment: leverage your skills in content creation, community management, or coding instead of waiting for outdated trends. The bear market rewards those who engage actively with their strengths.

OG Trader Sillytuna Says $24M Crypto Theft Came With Violent Threats

Sillytuna, a prominent early Ethereum NFT trader, reported a $24 million cryptocurrency theft involving AUSD and aETHUSDC. The incident, which occurred on March 4, 2026, combined an on-chain address-poisoning scam with real-world violence, weapons, and threats of kidnapping and rape. Although physically unharmed, Sillytuna was deeply shaken and announced he is leaving the crypto space. He later offered a 10% bounty for the recovery of the funds, even to those involved in the crime. This case highlights a trend of hybrid crypto crimes where online scams escalate into physical threats. Recent months have seen similar high-value thefts, including a $50 million USDT loss in December 2025, indicating that even experienced traders are vulnerable to sophisticated, multi-layered attacks.

RootData Transparency Bounty Activities Report for Rounds 3 and 4

RootData Transparency Bounty Program Reports for Rounds 3 and 4 From January 30 to February 8, 2026, RootData, a Web3 asset data platform, conducted its third and fourth transparency bounty programs. The initiatives focused on due diligence around recently listed projects on major exchanges, covering key financial metrics such as funding structure, team background, token unlocks, and major timelines. The programs reviewed two main categories: Binance-listed projects from the past year and projects listed on major exchanges in 2026. Over 160 users participated, contributing to 190 tag optimizations, 364 token unlock data updates, 235 key calendar entries, and 396 general information improvements. Notably, the overall approval rate was below 30%, reflecting structural challenges in Web3 project transparency. Common issues included incomplete unlock schedules, denial of historical documentation by official sources, complex inflationary token models, and unverified AI-generated content. To date, RootData has hosted four rounds of bounty programs, covering 526 unique projects. Some, like River and Audiera, were repeatedly submitted, showing sustained community interest and gradual transparency improvement. RootData emphasizes that transparency is an ongoing process rather than a one-time goal. The platform remains committed to factual, neutral, and third-party validated data disclosure, avoiding value judgments. It aims to enhance Web3's data infrastructure through community-driven verification and open bounty mechanisms.

Makina recovers majority of funds from exploit as whitehat process returns 920 ETH

Makina has recovered the majority of funds from a 20 January exploit, with approximately 920 ETH returned through the SEAL Whitehat Safe Harbor program. The MEV builder involved received a 10% bounty. The total exploit amounted to around 1,299 ETH, with 920 ETH representing the bulk of the funds initially received by the builder. Recovery efforts continue for the remaining 276 ETH sent to a Rocket Pool validator. The exploit only affected the USDC side of Makina’s DUSD/USDC Curve pool, impacting liquidity providers but not other users. The incident highlights the role of whitehat frameworks and coordinated responses in mitigating DeFi losses, though it remains one of the larger exploits in early 2026.

Tiger Research: If I Were the Founder of Kaito, How Would I Make Decisions in the Face of InfoFi's Upheaval?

Tiger Research analyzes the collapse of the InfoFi ecosystem following X platform's abrupt API policy change, which banned apps incentivizing posts with rewards. Within three days, major projects like Kaito faced existential threats, revealing the structural vulnerability of Web3 projects over-reliant on centralized platforms. The report outlines five potential survival strategies for InfoFi projects: 1) Shutting down entirely; 2) Pivoting to a bounty-based funding platform with manual review (e.g., Scribble); 3) Adopting a Korean-style sponsored blog model with pre-selected creators; 4) Expanding to multiple platforms (e.g., YouTube, TikTok) to diversify risk; or 5) Evolving into a data-driven MCN-style management agency for KOLs. The future of the sector, termed InfoFi 2.0, is predicted to be smaller, more controlled, and quality-focused, shifting from permissionless scaling to curated, professional networks. However, fundamental challenges remain: designing fair incentive structures to prevent low-quality content and proving the intrinsic value of InfoFi tokens beyond speculative narratives. The path forward requires aligning project sustainability with tokenholder利益.

Musk's Million-Dollar Creative Bounty: The Revival of Long-Form Content and the Ambition for an Everything App

Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) has launched a "$1 Million Article Challenge" in early 2026, aiming to incentivize long-form content creation on the platform. This move comes amid growing competitive pressure from Meta’s Threads, which has surpassed X in global daily active users (DAU) and is rapidly closing the gap in the U.S. market. X’s advertising revenue has also significantly declined since Musk’s acquisition. The push for long-form content is strategic: X’s algorithm favors content that increases "user time well spent," and long articles naturally keep users engaged longer. This approach supports Musk’s vision of making X the "earth’s first news source" and provides high-quality training data for his AI project, Grok. Despite global trends toward fragmented reading, X is betting on a revival of in-depth content to boost platform stickiness and attract professional creators. This effort is part of a broader ambition to transform X into an "Everything App" like WeChat. However, X still lags far behind in user base, engagement time, and functional diversity. Musk’s anxiety is palpable as he races to enrich X’s ecosystem and realize his super-app vision.
