AbstractSmoking is the leading risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) worldwide, yet many people who never smoke develop COPD. We perform a longitudinal analysis of COPD in the UK Biobank to derive and validate the Socioeconomic and Environmental Risk Score which captures additive and cumulative environmental, behavioral, and socioeconomic exposure risks beyond tobacco smoking.

Solana DeFi protocol Jito airdropped $225m to its 10,000 users this week. Their point system allowed users to claim $10k in $JTO for Staking 1 SOL for 100 days (1 point a day for 1 SOL staked). I believe this might be the start of a Solana DeFi airdrops trend. There are already projects with similar point systems, that are available for farming today. Let’s discuss how to become eligible for their potential airdrops. • MarginFi — TOP-1 lending protocol on Solana with $220m TVL.

I started digging into that and figured out, that some projects will ban you for multi-accs. Not great.

I know a guy who burnt $3000 last month on transaction fees in an L2 project. Why? Because that L2 project is going to airdrop 10x more to his wallets. Why?!?! Well… it’s because it’s profitable for the project. Sounds crazy if you’re unfamiliar with that industry, so let me explain. In simple words: it’s another form of investment that requires skills in market analysis, project research, and automation. Let’s dive into the details of that. Why do projects do airdrops?
