In the fast-paced world of Solana DeFi, where opportunities to earn yields and farm points for airdrops pop up daily, one tweet from analyst Jussy (@jussy_world) has caught the community's eye. Sharing his impressive climb to Rank 13 on Hylo, Jussy breaks down a strategy that's not just about grinding points but also racking up real profits—over $5,000 in a month. If you're into blockchain and looking to level up your DeFi game, this is worth a read.

What is Hylo and Its Points System?

Hylo is a decentralized finance platform built on the Solana blockchain, known for its innovative dual-token setup. At its core are hyUSD, a decentralized stablecoin backed by on-chain assets like liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and xSOL, a 2x leveraged token that amplifies your exposure to Solana's native SOL token. Think of xSOL as a way to bet big on SOL's price movements without going all-in on margin trading elsewhere.

The buzz around Hylo right now is its points system, dubbed Season 0. It's straightforward: hold eligible tokens, earn experience points (XP), and climb the global ranks. As Jussy puts it in his tweet, "Hold tokens, earn XP, and climb the ranks. That's it, that's our points system." These points aren't just for bragging rights—they're likely tied to future airdrops, rewarding early adopters who engage with the protocol. Multipliers come into play too; for instance, holding xSOL can give you up to 25x XP boosts when deposited in certain liquidity pools.

From what we've seen on Hylo's official site, activities like minting hyUSD, staking sHYUSD (the staked version of hyUSD), or holding xSOL and LSTs like hyloSOL+ all contribute to your XP tally. It's designed to incentivize real usage, turning passive holding into an active earnings machine.

Jussy's Winning Strategy: Profits Meet Point Farming

Jussy didn't just luck into Rank 13; he had a plan. Last week, with SOL trading around $200, he minted xSOL—the leveraged token that moves twice as fast as SOL's price. Fast forward, SOL hits $235, and xSOL surges to $2.7, putting him deep in the green.

But he didn't stop there. Jussy deposited his xSOL into RateX, a Solana-based DEX, where it earns a hefty 60% yield. On top of that, this setup unlocks a 25x XP multiplier for Hylo's points system. It's a double win: yields compound your holdings while points pile up for potential airdrops.

As profits rolled in, Jussy took half and diversified. He minted hyloSOL+ (Hylo's high-yield LST) and sHYUSD (staked hyUSD stablecoin), then provided liquidity for them on RateX. This LP position nets 10-20% yield with an 8x points multiplier. The beauty? He's balancing risk—using leveraged positions for upside while shifting gains into stabler assets that still generate passive income and points.

Jussy ties this to bigger market moves, like the anticipated Solana ETF approval this month, which could push SOL beyond $250. "Whales are preparing," he notes, pointing to a massive 167k xSOL mint worth over $400k. If SOL moons, leveraged plays like xSOL could turn modest investments into serious gains, all while farming Hylo XP at accelerated rates.

In the thread, users like Pampa (@itsPampaa) chime in with their own progress, starting just 15 days ago and already seeing results. Jussy laments why folks waited so long, having hyped Hylo for months. Others praise xSOL for swing trades, noting you can hold through dips without forced liquidations.

Risks to Keep in Mind

DeFi isn't without pitfalls. Leveraged tokens like xSOL amplify losses as much as gains—if SOL dips, your position could suffer. Yields on RateX might fluctuate, and impermanent loss in LPs is always a factor. Plus, while Hylo's points hint at airdrops, nothing's guaranteed in crypto. Always DYOR (do your own research) and start small.
