Learn how I made 14,573A last period and what optimizations can be made for Governance period #6 and 2023.

Welcome back to the Club, gov!

This Governance period incentivized DeFi more than ever, so I decided to set an ambitious goal to earn 10,000A this period.

Earning 10,000A in one quarter seemed daunting at first, but it was completely within reach with a DeFi focused portfolio allocation and a combination of beginner, enthusiast, and pro tactics that took advantage of the Foundation’s incentives.

In fact, through methodical planning, calculated execution, and a lot of patience, I earned 14,573A this period.

In the following Governance period #5 performance report, I’ll review how, what I learned, and what optimizations can be made for Governance period #6 and 2023.

Expected Returns

Before we dive into performance, let’s take a step back and review my original projections.

While planning for Governance period #5, I evaluated several tactics before deciding to invest heavily in these tactics alongside DeFi Governance: 

• Buying the ALGO dip

• Humble Liquidity Pools (LPs) & farms

• The ALGO/gALGO LP on Pact

• ASA trading

• NFT flipping

• Alandia

I created and then averaged low, medium, and high models based on my key tactics to produce an average return:

With an average return of 14,375A, I was confident I’d be able to achieve my goal of 10,000A.

And with a lot of planning, patience, and discipline, I exceeded my own expectations.

Let me show you what I mean.
