Strategies to Maximize Rewards
Yield Optimization Approach
- Best For: Users who prioritize guaranteed returns over speculative airdrop value
- Implementation:
- Choose the Classic strategy for 10.5% APY
- Consider no lock-up or shorter lock-up periods for flexibility
- Deposit larger amounts to maximize dollar value returns
- Reinvest yields periodically to compound returns
Airdrop Maximization Approach
- Best For: Users willing to forgo immediate yields for potentially larger airdrop allocations
- Implementation:
- Select the Maxi strategy for 25x Feathers multiplier
- Choose a 6-month lock-up for maximum 5x additional multiplier
- Result: Up to 125x more Feathers than basic Classic strategy with no lock
- Consider using the referral program to gain additional Feathers
Balanced Strategy

- Implementation:
- Split funds between Classic and Maxi strategies
