Executive Summary

Alright, so Huma Finance is making waves as a potentially massive airdrop on Solana, and even if you feel like you're late to the party, there's still a good chance to get in on the action. The whole idea is to earn "feathers," which are basically points that should convert into Huma tokens, and it’s a pretty sweet way to use any stablecoins you might have from taking profits.

Here’s the lowdown on Huma Finance and how you can still aim for a decent slice of this airdrop pie:

What's Huma Finance All About?

  • It's a "PayFi" network, which is a fancy way of saying it's all about decentralized finance for payments. Think making money move around the globe faster and easier.
  • The big mission? To supercharge global payments so that anyone, anywhere, can get their hands on liquidity whenever they need it. The presenter feels pretty strongly about this, highlighting how much better financial systems are in some countries compared to others, and how Huma could help level the playing field.
  • They’ve got something called a "PayFi Stack," which is their core technology, but the video dives more into the airdrop farming side of things.
  • The presenter thinks this is a "very promising application for the future of Solana."

Why Should You Even Bother Farming the Huma Airdrop?

  • The main draw is the potential for a "massive airdrop." The presenter admits he wasn't initially focused on it but got seriously interested after hearing good buzz at the Token 2049 conference.
  • It’s a fantastic opportunity if you've cashed out some crypto profits and have stablecoins (like USDC) just sitting there. You can put them to work to earn yield and a potentially big airdrop.
  • The presenter clearly believes this is "worthwhile" and even calls it "a cook," which in crypto slang means it’s looking really good. He wouldn't be making the video "so late in the game" if he didn't think so.

How to Get Those "Feathers" (Airdrop Points) on Huma Finance:

  • The main strategy is to deposit USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) into the Huma Finance protocol.
  • You earn "feathers" based on how much you deposit and for how long. These feathers are what you're collecting for the airdrop.
  • Two Main Deposit Flavors:
    • Classic:
      • With this option, you earn an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on your USDC. The video mentions a rate around 10.5% for May, for example.
      • You also earn feathers, but fewer than the Maxi option.
      • You can choose different lockup periods for your deposit, from no lockup at all up to six months. The longer you lock up, the higher your feather multiplier.
    • Maxi:
      • This one is all about maximizing feathers. You get zero APY, so no interest on your USDC.
      • But, you get a significantly higher multiplier for feathers. For instance, a no-lockup deposit gets a 5x feather multiplier, while a six-month lockup can give a hefty 17.5x multiplier.
      • The presenter notes that a lot of people are going for the Maxi option to really load up on feathers.
  • Lockup Flexibility is Key: A cool feature is that each deposit you make can have its own separate lockup period. So, you're not stuck with one lockup rule for all your funds.
  • Presenter's Personal Game Plan:
    • He’s got about $618 in the Classic option with no lockup, earning that 10.5% APY and some feathers.
    • He's also put a bigger chunk, around $9,451, into the Maxi option with no lockup, specifically to get that 5x feather bonus.
    • He also mentions having some other positions with six-month lockups in the Classic pool.
  • Word to the Wise: These deposit pools can fill up really fast. Huma had just opened up deposits again around the time the video was made. So, if you're interested, acting quickly (after doing your own research, of course!) is probably a good idea.
  • Wallet Cap: There's a limit of 100,000 USDC per wallet that you can deposit.
  • Refer Your Friends: Huma has a referral system. If you share your code and friends use it, you get 10% of the feathers they earn. The presenter shares his link if you want to use it.

Uh Oh, What If the Huma Deposit Pools Are Full? Don't Sweat It!

  • If you try to deposit USDC directly into Huma and find out the pools are capped, there’s a smart workaround.
  • You can pop over to a decentralized exchange like Jupiter and swap some of your USDC for PSTUSDC. This PSTUSDC token is what you get when you deposit into Huma's Classic pool.
  • Once you have PSTUSDC, you can then go to Kamino Finance.
  • On Kamino, you can provide liquidity to the PSTUSDC-USDC trading pool.
    • Doing this lets you earn feathers for the Huma airdrop and you'll also earn a cut of the trading fees from that liquidity pool on Kamino. It's a win-win!
    • Just remember: you can't use the same PSTUSDC in both the Huma Finance protocol and the Kamino Finance pool at the same time. You’ve got to choose where you want those specific tokens to work.

Want More Airdrop Juice? Check Out the Kaito Leaderboard!

  • Huma Finance has partnered with Kaito, which is a platform that tracks crypto community engagement and discussions.
  • They've set up a Huma-specific leaderboard. If you're active on Kaito and talk a lot about Huma Finance (they call it "yapping"!), you can climb this "mindshare leaderboard."
  • There are "special rewards" promised for "eligible yappers." The presenter thinks Kaito campaigns are usually pretty rewarding ("Kaito will be a very good cook"), so this could be another way to boost your Huma allocation. His advice? "Start yapping today!"

When’s the Big Day? (Token Launch - TGE)

  • The official timeline for Huma's Token Generation Event (TGE – basically, when the token officially launches) is Q2 of the year. That means sometime between April and June.
  • However, the presenter has heard "whispers" that it might happen a bit sooner, possibly in May. This isn't confirmed by the Huma team, just some scuttlebutt from the community.
  • The takeaway here is to try and "earn as many feathers as you can before it's too late."

Presenter's Final Thoughts & Personal Stake:

  • He's clearly optimistic, saying, "I think this one's a cook." He wouldn't be making a video guide this far into the farming period if he didn't genuinely believe in its potential.
  • He’s also put his own funds on the line, having invested about $15,000 to $16,000 USD into farming this airdrop.
  • He stresses that it's a "very promising application for the future of Solana."

Quick Actionable Pointers from the Video:

  • Definitely follow Huma Finance on Twitter. That's your best source for real-time updates, like when they open up deposit pools again.
  • As always in crypto, do your own research (DYOR) before jumping in.
  • If you decide to participate, think about your strategy: do you prefer the yield from the Classic option, or do you want to go all-in on feathers with the Maxi option? Also, consider what lockup period you’re comfortable with.

Transcript

Hey, what's good YouTube? Welcome back to the Brown Gent. As promised, I want to talk to you about what is potentially a massive airdrop on the horizon in Huma Finance. Now, I'll be honest with you guys, this is not a very timely video as you could have started farming this airdrop previously. And I'll be honest as well here, I wasn't really focusing on it and I didn't think it was a big deal. But given that token 2049 was last week, I heard some really good things about it. Huma Finance is in the pay five space and I'm going to talk to you about how you can still put some effort in right now near the end of the farming period to get a decent sized allocation of the Huma token. So if you're interested, stay tuned. We're going to get into that right now. Before we get into it, as always, just remember, nothing I say is financial advice. Please do your own research. I'm just a guy on YouTube. While you're at it, hit that like button, share the video and subscribe to the channel. And if you want extra coaching, guidance and support, if you want to see this stuff much earlier, check out the Web Through Secret Society or schedule a private video call so you can make sure that you have a plan for the bull run. Now, Huma Finance is a pay five network. Basically, the goal here is to accelerate global payments so that you can have access to liquidity anywhere at any time. Now, there is a fantastic way to earn yield in this, but obviously yield is nice. Hopefully we will outperform that with an airdrop. Now, the ultimate goal here is, of course, accelerating global money management or movement. This is something I'm very passionate about because honestly, you know, we may be spoiled in the countries we live in because the financial infrastructure is much better than in a lot of other places. And in order to sort of bring the world even more together, we need to make sure that every country, every city, every part of the global population has access to this infrastructure, to this modern payment methods. So, Huma has sort of what's called a pay five stack. I'm not going to get into this because this is more of a airdrop farming video, but I will include the links down below so you can check it out. My first recommendation, as always, is make sure you follow them on Twitter. This is where you're going to get the most up to date information. For example, if you follow them on Twitter, you would know as of six hours ago, they have opened up their deposits. Now, there was a way to circumvent that. I'm going to show you how to do that as well in case this gets full, but very simple. Definitely sort of get in here and check it out. So this is the Huma Finance Protocol. When you load it, you'll see an option to deposit USDC, and you can do that through Classic. And this is giving you a max, you know, it says May, but it should be max 10.5% APY, right? So it's for the month of May, so maybe that's why it says that. And then you have maxi, which gives you zero yield, but it gives you more XP, or in this case, feather. So typically, I've seen a lot of people go to the maxi route and basically lock up USDC because this is a pure stablecoin farm. If you've been taking profits, this is definitely a fantastic way to use those profits to earn some additional yield and earn a big airdrop. I will show you what I did in one second. But those are your options. You go to Classic. You can deposit USDC. You can pick up a lockup period. Keep in mind, you can always do no lockup as well if you want access to your funds right away. But obviously, the longer the lockup period, which goes as far as six months, the higher the multiplier. As well, you can do different deposits with different lockups as well. So it's not like some other protocols where you pick a lockup and that's the minimum lockup for all your deposits. They have each of them compartmentalized, so it's not bad. Same thing goes for maxi as well. But as you can see for maxi, six months is 17.5x. And the no lockup is a 5x on the feathers because you are getting no APY. Now, a couple of things I'll tell you right now is definitely you want to go here to get feathers by referring friends. When you go here, you can definitely put in sort of you give your referral code to somebody else. And by doing so, 10% of the feathers your friend earns will be given to you. I've included sort of my link here if you want my bonus code to sign up with. Better than sort of not putting anything in there, of course. And then if you go to portfolio, let's just go through this right here. Let me show you my positions. So I have $618.72 that is under classic with no lockup. So that is APY of 10.5%. I can take it out anytime I want. I have 9,451.49 in maxi, which is earning me 5%. No lockup. You can take it out whenever I want. Keep in mind, if you ever change your mind, you click on this button. I don't know why I did this. You can extend lockup or you can withdraw if they don't have lockup. So very, very simple. And then you have the positions with lockup. And it tells you sort of, you know, type. So classic for both and six months. And you can see sort of historical what I've done. Now, my recommendation as well is, you know, if you are interested, do this as soon as possible. Obviously, do your own research because these pools will fill up really fast. There is a 100K USDC limit per wallet. And, you know, you can go to sort of feathers here to see exactly how you're doing. Right. So every one of my positions has a different amount of feathers I will gain per day. I just recently started this, as I mentioned. But I do think it's worthwhile because this is a very promising application for the future of Seoul. Now, there is PST in Data Room. I'm not going to really get into this. What I do want to show you is let's say you come in here and you go to deposit, but the pool is full. It says that instead. You can go to Jupiter and you can actually swap some USDC for PST USDC. I'll include the link to that swap. And you can see here that, you know, you've got a thousand USDC. You've got 990 PST. I believe if I was to do that here as well, I will get, I think I would get pretty much the same thing because there is a sort of fraction or difference. So you can do that here on Jupiter. Definitely easy. I don't think you can get the maxi on here, which is sort of M-USDT, but, you know, maybe you can. Wouldn't recommend doing that. I would just sort of do that for the classic. And also, you can now go to Camino Finance, which has the PST and USDC liquidity pools where you can also earn feathers by basically depositing. You can do single asset deposit or you can sort of, you know, deposit, you know, the fractionalized amount. So 100 USDC would require 26.6 PST. Or I go, wait, wait, wait. Do I have to delete this? For some reason, it's not going to let me do that. Maybe you're not able to do that right now. I'm not sure. But basically, the way I would look at this is if you want to sort of earn some extra feathers, you can do that here. Keep in mind that your PST cannot be used within Huma Finance and Camino Finance at the same time. So, you know, you got to pick and choose. You will also earn sort of you earn the fees that are paid within the liquidity pool. So it's not bad. One last thing I do want to mention is there is a leaderboard that just popped up for Kaito and for Huma. And basically, they're also going to have rewards here as well. So if you do post a lot about Huma Finance, if you're on the Mindshare leaderboard, there will be some rewards. So special rewards coming for eligible yappers. Start yapping today. As always, Kaito will be a very good cook. But I do think if you do have some extra stable coins laying around, you know, you took some profit and, you know, the market hasn't retraced enough for you to take action on it. I think this is worthwhile. As you can see here, I've literally put in, what is it like, about 15,000 to 16,000 US. So I hope you find this video helpful. Definitely check it out. Their token generation event is slated for Q2, although I have heard whispers that it might be a little sooner than that. You know, obviously, Q2 is April to June, but I've heard from some people that it's likely coming in May. But obviously, nothing has been confirmed by the team. But definitely go out there trying to earn as many feathers as you can before it's too late. I think this one's a cook. I wouldn't be making this video so late in the game if I didn't think so. Anyways, as always, hit the like button, share the video, subscribe to the channel. Until next time, I'll see you later. Thanks again for watching.
