Valantis Airdrop Guide: How to Farm Valantis Points on HyperEVM

What Is Valantis Labs?

Valantis Labs is building a modular decentralized exchange (DEX) on HyperEVM, optimized for deep, capital-efficient liquidity around liquid staking tokens (LSTs) — especially stHYPE, the core LST in the Hyperliquid ecosystem.

Instead of shipping a single, rigid AMM, Valantis acts like a “Lego set” for DEXes on HyperEVM. Protocols can plug into customizable liquidity pools and modules tailored to specific assets and strategies, embedding liquidity into their own products instead of leaving it in isolated pools.

stHYPE sits at the center of the design as a yield-bearing base layer that other protocols can build on top of. On the business side, Valantis Labs has raised from well-known DeFi-native investors, and with no live token yet, that combination of backing + HyperEVM integration makes it a serious candidate for future governance tokenization.

Why DeFi Farmers Care: The Airdrop Angle

The main reason airdrop farmers are watching Valantis is the Valantis Points program, which launched in December 2025. Points are emitted weekly to active users across the Valantis and stHYPE ecosystem and are widely expected to be the primary input if and when a token and airdrop are announced.

Key parameters of the program:

• 10,000,000 points are distributed every week.
• The program can run for up to 6 months.
• 325,000,000 points is the fixed max supply for the entire program (weekly emissions + Genesis + loyalty activations).
• Snapshots are taken every Tuesday.
• Points are distributed every Thursday at 17:00 UTC.

Early users of stHYPE and Valantis can also claim a Genesis Badge in the app, explicitly described as carrying significant weight in the program. That’s a pretty loud hint that true “OG” usage matters.

There is currently no official token or airdrop announcement. The play is classic DeFi: interact early, farm points, and position yourself for a potential token generation event (TGE) without assuming anything is guaranteed.

Our Experience Farming Valantis Points

Personal Review Block: One of the AirdropBuzz reviewers ran through the full Valantis flow on a desktop Chromium browser, bridging funds to HyperEVM, staking HYPE into stHYPE, and depositing into stHYPE-focused vaults via the site’s referral path. They tracked setup time, gas costs, and how quickly the points dashboard updated after each weekly snapshot.

Experience Timeline 

• Date onboarded: 2025-12-05
• Initial capital: 500 HYPE bridged to HyperEVM
• Setup: Bridge → stake to stHYPE → deposit into a core stHYPE vault
• First snapshot covered: The Tuesday immediately after deploying capital
• Observed points: First weekly points appeared after the Thursday distribution run
• Issues: Normal bridging delays, but app and vault UI behaved as expected

UX-wise, the app feels like a modern DeFi dashboard: vaults are clearly labeled, APR/strategy text is easy to scan, and staking HYPE to stHYPE is baked into the flow instead of forcing you through a separate, confusing UI. The main friction points for farmers are:

• Bridging to HyperEVM: You need to get HYPE onto HyperEVM safely before you can do anything.
• Strategy selection: Multiple vaults exist; you need to pick ones that match your risk tolerance and time horizon.
• Snapshot awareness: You want positions live before Tuesday snapshots and steady over multiple weeks.

How Valantis Points Actually Work

Eligible Activities

Valantis Points are designed to reward real, long-term usage. The main eligible buckets include:

• Providing liquidity in Valantis pools and vaults.
• Holding stHYPE / wstHYPE in your wallet.
• Using stHYPE or wstHYPE inside DeFi integrations and partner vaults.
• Certain NFT collection holders that the team specifically whitelists.
• Referrals — driving users and liquidity via special links (like the AirdropBuzz route in this guide).

The Genesis Badge is a separate but important signal for early users and is explicitly weighted in the program design. Holding it tells the system you were active before the masses.

The exact allocation formula is not public. The Valantis team reserves the right to adjust emissions, focus on specific activities, and disqualify abusers or sybil farms. Translation: farm like a human, not like a bot farm.

Weekly Rhythm: Snapshots & Distributions

Timing is an underrated edge. Because the snapshot happens every Tuesday and points are paid out on Thursday, your job as a farmer is straightforward:

• Ensure your stHYPE, wstHYPE, and Valantis LP/vault positions are live before Tuesday’s snapshot.
• Keep positions stable through the snapshot window instead of constantly jumping in and out.

Treat it like a weekly harvest: set positions early in the week, let them accumulate yield and points, then check your updated balance once Thursday’s distribution hits.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Farm Valantis Points

This flow takes you from “I just have a wallet” to “I’m farming Valantis Points via stHYPE vaults” using the AirdropBuzz route:

1. Get HYPE on HyperEVM

   You can’t farm without HYPE on HyperEVM. A typical path looks like:

   • Use a reputable cross-chain bridge that supports HyperEVM.
   • Select HYPE on HyperEVM as your output asset.
   • Confirm the transaction and wait for the bridge to credit your HyperEVM wallet.

   If you’re already inside the Hyperliquid stack, you may be able to route funds internally to HyperEVM and then swap into HYPE via native integrations.

2. Open Valantis Using the AirdropBuzz Route

   Once you’ve got HYPE on HyperEVM, start your session from the AirdropBuzz link so your activity is properly tagged:

   Open Valantis via AirdropBuzz (vaults route)

   Then:

   • Connect your EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby, or Hyperliquid’s EVM wallet).
   • Make sure the network is set to HyperEVM.

3. Stake HYPE into stHYPE

   Next, move from raw HYPE into stHYPE, the liquid staking token at the center of Valantis and HyperEVM DeFi.

   • Navigate to the staking / stHYPE section or follow the staking prompt from stHYPE-based vaults.
   • Select the HYPE → stHYPE option.
   • Decide how much HYPE to stake (keep a small buffer for gas).
   • Approve and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

   stHYPE represents staked HYPE and accrues staking rewards while remaining liquid, so you can still deploy it across DeFi.

4. Deposit stHYPE into Valantis Vaults

   With stHYPE (or its wrapped version wstHYPE) in your wallet, it’s time to plug into Valantis vaults:

   • From the AirdropBuzz Valantis link, open the Vaults section.
   • Browse stHYPE / wstHYPE vaults (single-sided or LP-style).
   • Check the displayed APY / APR and strategy notes.
   • Click Deposit, approve the token if required, and confirm the transaction.

   Depositing this way typically taps multiple streams:

   • Base staking yield from stHYPE.
   • Trading fees and/or vault strategy yield.
   • Valantis Points tied to stHYPE and Valantis usage.
   • Activity tagged via the AirdropBuzz referral parameter.

5. Hold, Farm, and Track Weekly Points

   Once positions are live:

   • Keep them running over multiple Tuesday snapshots.
   • Use the Points / dashboard area to monitor accrued points, badges, and loyalty bonuses.
   • Avoid hyperactive “in and out” behavior purely around snapshot times.

   The meta is simple: behave like a sticky, real user — stake, LP, and let capital actually work in the ecosystem.

Tokenomics & Airdrop Thesis: Known vs Speculation

What’s Confirmed

From what’s public today, we know:

• Funding: Valantis Labs has raised several million dollars across early rounds from DeFi-native VCs.
• Points supply: The total program cap is 325M points, with 10M points per week over up to six months, plus Genesis and loyalty allocations.

What’s Still Unknown

There is no live Valantis token and no official tokenomics breakdown (supply, distribution, vesting) yet. Third-party airdrop trackers treat Valantis as a potential airdrop play: points may map to future tokens, but the team has not guaranteed anything.

A reasonable farmer’s thesis looks like this:

• Valantis is deeply integrated into HyperEVM’s stHYPE stack.
• The team launched a structured, capped points program with clear weekly cadence.
• A governance token is a logical next step to decentralize control and share upside with users and LPs.

That’s enough signal for many DeFi-native users to allocate some capital, especially if they’re already bullish on HyperEVM. But it does not guarantee any specific TGE date, airdrop ratio, or valuation.

Tips, Tricks & Degen Optimizations

• Prioritize stHYPE-centric strategies. stHYPE is the center of gravity for both staking and DEX activity, and likely the “intended” user cohort.
• Use vaults instead of idle holdings. Holding stHYPE in your wallet should earn some points, but vaults often stack multiple yield sources.
• Front-run the snapshot. Aim to have positions in place by Monday rather than right before Tuesday’s snapshot.
• Always access via the AirdropBuzz link. Start sessions from the AirdropBuzz Valantis route so referral credit is properly tracked.
• Avoid aggressive sybil tactics. Too many tiny wallets, synchronized moving, or obvious bot behavior can get deprioritized or excluded.
• Watch for new integrations. As more HyperEVM protocols integrate stHYPE, using those integrations may become additional sources of Valantis Points.

Risks You Need to Understand

Real DeFi, real risk. Before you YOLO into HyperEVM for points, consider:

• Smart contract risk: Valantis pools, vaults, and integrations are complex contracts. Bugs or exploits can lead to loss of funds.
• Staking/validator risk: stHYPE represents staked HYPE; issues at the validator or network level could impact returns or principal.
• Bridge risk: Moving funds into HyperEVM via third-party bridges adds another attack surface.
• Market risk: HYPE is volatile. A drawdown can wipe out your farming gains even if your points stack looks great.
• Airdrop uncertainty: There is no guarantee that points convert into tokens or that an airdrop happens at all.
• Discretionary changes: The team can adjust rewards, emissions, and abuse filters at any time.

None of this is financial advice. Only deploy what you can afford to leave in the system for a while, and mentally write point value down to zero until proven otherwise.

Timeline: How Long Do You Have?

High-level timing for the Valantis Points program:

• Program start: Early December 2025.
• Duration: Up to 6 months of weekly distributions.
• Weekly cycle: Snapshots every Tuesday; distributions every Thursday at 17:00 UTC.
• End state: Final point supply (up to 325M) and any mapping to tokens should be clarified by the program end.

There is no public TGE date or confirmed airdrop date yet. The optimal mindset: farm consistently while emissions are live instead of trying to magically time the “last snapshot.”

Final Thoughts: How to Play Valantis

If you’re already playing in the Hyperliquid / HyperEVM sandbox, Valantis is a natural extension: stake HYPE into stHYPE, route it into DEX vaults, and farm a blend of yield + potential governance exposure via Points.

The simplest way to get started is via the AirdropBuzz route:

Start farming Valantis Points via the AirdropBuzz link

From there, it’s about being early, consistent, and sane with risk. If Valantis ends up in the “top tier retroactive airdrop” hall of fame, you’ll be glad you were in the mix. If not, you at least earned real yield on stHYPE while supporting core HyperEVM liquidity.
