If you're into crypto trading and prediction markets, you've probably heard of Polymarket – it's like a betting platform but for real-world events, powered by blockchain. Recently, a trader going by @PixOnChain on X kicked off a public challenge to turn $10K into $100K by year's end, treating Polymarket trades like smart investment setups rather than gambles. His latest update dives into three positions, including a notable bet on the upcoming Monad airdrop, which has the community buzzing.

Let's break it down. The trader emphasizes finding an "edge" in these markets, much like spotting undervalued stocks or meme coins before they moon. His first play is shorting Sky's chances of winning the USDH ticker on Hyperliquid. USDH is a stablecoin proposal, and there's a governance vote happening. From his deep dive into the ecosystem, he reckons only Native, Paxos, and Ethena have a real shot. Sky? Not so much. He's betting "No" at around 3% odds, expecting a quick return in days.

Supporting his view is this chart of stake shares, where Sky sits at 0%, while Native Markets leads at over 30%. It's data like this that turns a hunch into a calculated move.

Next up: Betting against Linea's fully diluted valuation (FDV) exceeding $3 billion one day post-launch. FDV is basically the total value if all tokens were in circulation. He points out that new tokens often dip below pre-market prices, especially with a rocky launch like Linea's – think messy airdrop farming and high initial supply. He grabbed "No" shares for an 8% return in under a day, calling it a textbook short.

But the real intrigue for meme token enthusiasts is his third position: Betting "Yes" on Monad performing an airdrop before October 31, 2025. Monad is an emerging Layer 1 blockchain aiming for high performance, and its token MON has been hyped in crypto circles, often with meme-like fervor due to airdrop speculation.

He cites clues like a July post from Monad's official account (view the original post), which teased a September 29 launch date and 100 billion token supply, but clarified only one detail was correct. Then, yesterday (as of the post), founder @keoneHD confirmed the 100 billion supply.

This implies the date was the fakeout, suggesting mainnet could drop sooner. However, he's cautious on a strict end-of-September bet due to potential delays. Instead, he's eyeing October at 30% odds for better value, planning to size in later to avoid tying up funds. Airdrops – free token distributions to early users – don't always coincide exactly with mainnet launches, adding that layer of risk.

This challenge isn't just about the wins; it's a lesson in treating prediction markets as serious trading venues. If Monad's airdrop hits soon, it could spark a wave of activity in related meme tokens and ecosystems. Keep an eye on Polymarket for similar setups, and remember, always DYOR (do your own research) before diving in.
