Recently, the market has been very calm, whether it's long-term or short-term, it's actually very difficult to operate. Many people say this period is a 'garbage market' phase, and going out to relax is a better option. So what other good things can we do?

If the best thing in the web3 circle is 'airdrop!', then the airdrop must target the big rewards, as this ensures higher certainty.

So this time we bring the grand event of 2026, which is the YC market airdrop! I believe many people have already started interacting, and for those who haven't, this issue brings a zero-loss airdrop prediction market.

The largest YC market currently is Polymarket, this YC market has been around since 2018, and its current financing scale (confirmed) has reached 200 million dollars, with a valuation of 1.2 billion.

And in 2025, NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) parent company Intercontinental Exchange ICE announced plans to invest up to $2 B (2 billion dollars) in Polymarket, raising Polymarket's valuation to about $8B–$9B.

According to Bloomberg reports, Polymarket is negotiating a new round of financing with investors, with a valuation target between $12B–$15B.

Thus, the valuation has reached a scale of 15 billion dollars. Even if we calculate the airdrop at 5% of the scale, the airdrop amount is at least as high as 750 million dollars, and the official has confirmed that they will issue XX and conduct an airdrop. Although there are no specific rules, it is at least very certain (currently expected in early 2026).

Next, I will bring how to do it with zero loss, which is to hedge! Because it is the YC market, you can predict whether an event will happen or not, and by doing both sides at a certain ratio, you can achieve zero loss, but you also won't make money. This is only to brush volume for high airdrops.

However, considering that current project parties will introduce anti-witch mechanisms, it is essential to be a real active user and not to concentrate on brushing volume at once.

Specific steps:

1. Open the official website, register an account with your email, a Google email is required, note (currently does not support users from the US and Eastern University regions), it is recommended to register two accounts and open different hedge orders! The purpose of the two accounts is also to prevent the system from determining that you are intentionally brushing volume and not a real user!

2. Click on the upper right corner of Deposit, and select the first transfer crypto below.

Then choose polygon or bsc, either is fine, try to select accounts with cheap transaction fees, you can choose usdc or usdt on the left, and recharge 100-200 dollars for each account.

3. After recharging, start operating; in Polymarket, there will be many categories such as politics, sports, finance, technology, culture, crypto, etc. It is recommended to choose those you are interested in or familiar with.

4. The key point is coming, because we are brushing volume, not actually playing, so we try to choose a short time cycle, such as settling within a few days, and not choosing ones that settle several months later, as it will tie up our funds.

5. For example, the Bitcoin price prediction I chose for 2025, there will be many different types here, as the current price is 88k, so many predictions exceed 120k and 150k, where liquidity is poor. We need to choose those with good liquidity, specifically look at the VOL column below the price and choose those with large volumes.

6. The key point is coming. Here on the right side under BUY, there is a YES and a NO, both of which can be bought, but you will find that buying YES costs 15 dollars, while buying NO costs 86 dollars. What does this mean? It means that if you buy YES, you spend 15 to get 100 dollars, and if you buy NO for 86, you will also get 100 dollars. So combined, your cost is 101, while in the end, you can only get 100. Therefore, even if you hedge, you will lose 1 dollar.

So here you must choose a limit order, in the limit price, you enter 14, then choose the quantity, for example, 10, and then the total cost will be listed as 1.4 dollars, winning 10 dollars.

This order will be placed at this position, and it can be accepted when it arrives.

Then you open another account in the same position, you choose to buy NO, you can choose 86, and immediately buy in.

So your cost is 10 dollars, and both sides have hedged.

So the key point is to choose a limit order. This way you have completed a hedge in the YC market! Because TA currently does not charge transaction fees, it can be said that it has truly achieved zero cost.

So the suggestion for volume brushing is, once 100 dollars is enough, brush 2-3 times a week, and pay attention to maintaining the fund ratio in your account.

Similarly, you can also brush other types of markets, such as the opinion for investment on Binance, where the current trading volume has also surged, and this should not be small.
