We have some exciting newsā¦ Bankless just acquiredĀ Earnifi!Ā
Earnifi is an opportunity finderāit shows you airdrops and unclaimed NFTs so that you never miss an opportunity in crypto.Ā People have found over $150 million worth of claimable assets thanks to Earnifi. š¤Æ
I personally made over $10k this year using EarniFi.
We love the product so much, we acquired it!Ā And now, we want to bring it to you.
What Does This Mean?
3 things:- Bankless is going beyond media. Now, weāre building tools for your DeFi journey.
- Connecting your walletĀ to discover eligible airdrops has never been easier.
- Weāre working to improve Earnifi and bring it into your Bankless experience.
Seriously,Ā try out Earnifi. Then read our plan. š
The Next Step in the Bankless Journey
Three years ago, I published theĀ first postĀ on Bankless with one simple goal: to help onboard a billion people to open finance over the next decade.
Education.Ā That was goal #1. We set to work on this first through aĀ newsletter, then by launching aĀ podcastĀ after some prodding from David.
Today, there are over 250,000 people on the Bankless journey.
Last week, the podcast passedĀ 30 millionĀ downloads.
The Bankless community is renowned both in and outside of crypto.
We have big plans to scale education in 2023 but the frontier requires more than just educationā¦Ā We need tools.
So we thought to ourselvesā¦ What if we got really good at building tools for the Bankless journey? š¤
A robo-onchain opportunity finder? The perfect place to start.
Everything Good Starts on Twitter
Earlier this year, David was doing some wallet cleanup when he stumbled across this tool on Twitter calledĀ Earnifi.Ā
EarniFi let him quickly checkĀ allĀ of his Ethereum addresses, forĀ allĀ of the opportunities he had missed.Ā
A few minutes later, he was finding airdrops on wallets he didnāt even know he had. š
$1,600 in UNI here.
$2,400 in ENS tokens there.
Who built this magic?Ā
I slid into Earnifiās DMās to find out.
Hello Dawson š
We met the Earnifi founderĀ Dawson BotsfordĀ a week later.
Whoās Dawson?
A hacker.
The good kind. The type of DeFi coder thatās helping to build the bankless future we all want to see. Turns out, Dawson even has aĀ podcastĀ for fellow crypto builders. š¤Æ
We talked. We talked some more.Ā
Then we saw a picture of Dawson in the OGĀ Wells BanklessĀ tee. š¤Æ š±
We talkedĀ even more.Ā
Talks went well and Dawson decided to join David and me as the co-founder of a product studio to build outĀ EarnifiĀ and future Bankless tools. š§Ŗ
Donāt Miss š
Crypto is pretty much all I do, but do you know how many onchain opportunities Iāve missed?
High 6 figures worth. At least. š¢
I canāt monitor everything. I canāt find the signal in the noise.Ā No human can.
So, weāre building a bot to do it for us. š¤
Thatās what Earnifi is. An onchain robot companion who scans data to surface the best opportunities for you.Ā
Never miss an airdrop. Never miss an unlock. Never miss a mint.
We appreciate you we hope you like this new tool.Ā
This is just the start.
Keep leveling up.

FAQ:
Does Earnifi cost anything?
The free version isĀ free. Two addresses. Basic airdrops. I upgraded to Premium because the ROI was 100x for me. Just this week we gotĀ AcrossĀ andĀ Genie. No brainer imo.
Are Bankless and Earnifi Premium subscriptions combining?
You have to subscribe to Bankless and Earnifi separately for now. But weāre working on ways to combine perks. Weāve got a few more things to do first.
Is this safe?
Well, itās not taking your private keys. This is Bankless fam. It does associate your ETH address with an email account but weāre securing this tightly. For an extra layer of protection, you can use anĀ anon email account.Ā
Is Sam Bankman-Fried involved in this project?
No.
What are you building next?Ā
The worldās not ready.Ā Sign upĀ to find out. š
Imagine what this cute little robot will see when you plug in your addressā¦
