GRVT: Maximizing Points Isn't a Strategy Knowing Your Risk Limits Is.
There was a time when I put almost all the money I had into a farming opportunity because the rewards looked too attractive to ignore. It wasn't until the project ran into liquidity issues that I realized I had never asked myself how much I could lose if I was wrong. I had only been thinking about how much I could make if I was right.
Watching how many people are farming GRVT Points today, I see that same mindset repeating itself. The most common questions are how to earn the most points, whether taker orders are better than maker orders, whether to use the UI instead of the API, and how to time everything before TGE. Those are all valid tactics, but almost no one asks another important question: how much capital am I willing to commit to an exchange where collateral is still limited to USDT and USDC, and liquidity remains relatively modest compared to the major players in the industry?
To me, a smart points farming strategy isn't about maximizing the number of points. It's about deciding in advance how much capital you're willing to lose if things don't go as expected, and only then optimizing your actions within that limit. Maximizing points by allocating all your capital to a young project is a bet, not a strategy.
After five days of writing about GRVT, I think this is the most valuable takeaway not any specific farming trick, but the habit of asking about your risk limit before asking how to maximize your rewards.
What about you? When you join a new points program, do you first calculate how much you're willing to lose, or do you only think about how much you might earn?
