To start with, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the following degens for the inspiration and provided analysis tools: Yaroslav from the sellcash channel, OhhhKillem from the crypto.hyeta channel, Deeppee, Andriu70, Ritzuq and a nice fellow GP#9930 from Discord. Thank you!
Let’s go! If you are reading this guide here, it means that it has not spread through channels and chats yet. This guide will save you time and money cause you may probably waste them on a continuous on-chain analytics and efforts to understand what exactly this or that badge is given for. There is not much time left until the end of the season, the deadline is March 31, so hurry up!
If you aren’t familiar with VOLTZ, keep in mind that this activity is very expensive and for all the badges you will have a commission of about 200-300 dollars. But don’t get upset! Even if you have little money, you can still get a few badges. Wait for the low commission, usually early in the morning on weekends. Please support me and go to VOLTZ with the help of this link - click.
If you are a follower of my Telegram-channel, you’ve already possibly gotten 3 badges for 2 transactions (I mean MAX BIDDING, RAIN MAKER and SUSHI ROLL); all the details are here in this post. If not, don’t worry, you’ll soon have this opportunity.
Let's get to the point!
At the moment I’m familiar with 22 badges, 13 of which can actually be obtained during the season and 3 - immediately after it ends. There are also 6 badges for contribution to the development of the project (these are invitations and your activity in Discord).
Before we move on to the process of obtaining badges, I’d like to pay your attention to the following thing: each position you open is not only about the cost of gas, but it also includes the commission of the platform. If you open a pool and invest $510, then, taking into account the commission, ~$490 will get into the pool and you simply will not be given a badge, where the receipt criterion was the amount of more than $500. For example:
Let's start with the simplest thing:
1. MAX BIDDING - there is only one button on your keyboard: max bidding, max leverage.
This is the cheapest and easiest badge to get. I wouldn’t advise you to receive it separately, since you will already have it for completing other tasks. It can be given for absolutely any pool, the main thing is that you invest the minimum margin for your position. I was given it for a margin of $ 7. In the screenshot below you can see that you need to specify the exact amount.
2. SUSHI ROLL - stopping for nothing, rolling over the next pool.
This is another cheap badge. It is enough to make a prolongation of any of your completed positions to get it. Go to portfolio and click rollover. Margin, leverage and interest can be changed at your discretion, this will not affect the receipt of the badge.
If you don’t have have any completed positions, the only pool that suits you is the one that ends March 15th. The process of getting this badge can be combined with getting the others. For example, if you are not going to invest much, then you can combine receiving the first and the second badges by opening a pool with a minimum margin, and then rolling it over. This badge can also be combined with RAIN MAKER
3. RAIN MAKER - no luck needed for the degen gods. Going big 500k+ notional provided.
You need to increase the notional amount to $500k+. This is easy to do with a minimum margin before closing the pool. To get this badge, it will be necessary to open the pool in Liquidity Providers (hereinafter LP pools).
So that you don't get confused. Here is a guide to get these 3 badges with a minimum margin for 2 transactions:
Wait for March 12-14
Go to LP pools which end March 15th
Play with numbers so as to indicate the minimum margin for a position >500k and get 2 badges for opening such a position: MAX BIDDING and RAIN MAKER
On March 16, we extend the position by making a rollover and for this we get the SUSHI ROLL badge.
This is where there are no more cheap badges left, and we move on to hardcore.
4. FIXED TAKER - comfy and stable with a fixed taker position.
You need to open a position in Traders Pools with a fixed rate. Position and volume can be any, - the main thing is that the margin should be from (how much???). I analyzed more than 40 wallets with this badge and found out that all holders, on average, invested $500 and more in a margin (or the same equivalent in any other coin).
Also, you can get LEVERAGE CROWBAR badge, - you’ll find the details below.
5. LEVERAGE CROWBAR - there is no degen without 100x leverage, and you are a degen.
This badge is given for opening a position in any Traders Pools with a leverage of >100x. On average, it is received from a margin of >$1000. This badge can be obtained along with FIXED TAKER or DELTA DEGEN. To some people, this badge is given out for even smaller amounts. Why so? I don’t have an exact answer to this question, so I can only assume that the amounts in the pools are summed up, and when they reach a certain number, you get a badge.
6. DELTA DEGEN - Only degens can see the delta on that variable position.
It’s almost the same as FIXED TAKER badge, except the fact that the rate is not fixed but variable.
7. DEGEN STUFF - 500k+ is serious levels of notional. Hats off to the degen king.
The fattest badge that only a few people have. It is necessary to open a position in any Traders Pools so that it is more than 500k, and the margin for its maintenance is >5000$. Unfortunately, my bank does not allow me to loot this :'(
8. IRS CONNOISSEUR - a true degen acts like a pro and has at least 3+ positions.
You need to have a position in three different Traders Pools. If you’ve received all the badges above, you’ll receive this one automatically. Most likely, there should be more than $500 of margin in each pool.
Now we move on to LP-related badges. But, if you’ve read this guide up to here, then it has clearly become useful for you, so I’d appreciate if you “collect this entry“ and help the author collect all the badges that are in VOLTZ. Do a good deed, and then, probably, we will not only get an airdrop from VOLTZ, but we will also capture the Mirror. For your saved time and hundreds of bucks click on the button below.
9. LPOOR - you provided liquidity and the protocol just got a little more robust.
You need to open any position in the LP pool with a margin from $500.
10. MONEY MONEY MONEY - 100x leverage. You provided real liquidity here, market maker status.
You need to open a position in any LP pool with leverage of >100x, while investing at least $1000 in margin. Surely, I haven’t made this number up. I’ve taken a look at more than 40 different wallets that received this badge. It can be obtained at the same time with the LPOOR badge. The position can be like in the screenshot below:
11. WATER HOSE - you left no pool unturned, provided liquidity to 3+ pools.
It is necessary to have a position in three different LP pools. The badge is obtained in the process of completing other tasks.
12. VAULTOOOR - LP, sit back and relax.
Make a deposit from $1000 to any of the LP OPTIMISERS pools.
13. MIDDLEWEIGHT VAULTOOOR - easy LPing with LP Optimisers.
4 wallets currently have this badge. According to the data that I analyzed, you need to do the following: 3 deposits from $ 1000 in LP OPTIMISERS
Congratulations! Now you’ve got acquainted with, or perhaps have even received all 13 badges that you can get before the end of the season. Now let's move on to some other badges:
14. BE WATER MY FRIEND - a top 5 Liquidity Provider finish this season.
Everything is clear from the description. You need to get into the top five liquidity providers in LP pools at the end of the season.
15. TOP TRADER - top 5 finisher during this season. View from the top looks nice.
You need to be one of the top 5 on the leaderboard after the end of the season. In case you didn't know, you get leaderboard points only from Traders Pools. The bigger your position is, the more points you get.
16. WHALE VAULTOOOR - largest fish in the vaults.
It is not entirely clear whether there will be only one or five of this badge but, obviously, it will be given for the largest deposit in LP OPTIMISERS.
There are 6 badges left for contribution to the community, but it makes no sense to analyze them in detail. 3 badges can be obtained for referrals and 3 for your activity in Discord, writing articles and content.
Hooray! We took a detailed look at all the main badges in VOLTZ, that was really hard. Many thanks to all for your support!
P.S. I am 99% sure that everything is exactly as described in the article. Theoretically, I could have made a mistake somewhere, if so, I apologize in advance.
Truly yours, Vasiliy
