How to earn a five-figure passive income in Web3?
Extra income is what brings true freedom.

Unless you already possess advanced skills or a high-paying job, if you have fewer than 10,000 followers on X, the most profitable path right now is participating in InfoFi.
Even if you have a full-time job, this can become a substantial side income. Earning an extra three to five figures (in USD) per month can transform your life (this is based on my personal experience). After all, fixed salaries often vanish as soon as they arrive, consumed by bills and unexpected expenses—extra income brings real freedom.
I know this deeply: I once started with just $300 per month, and now my income depends entirely on how much effort I put in. One of my biggest dreams was to take my mom shopping. For years, I couldn't make it happen—until recently, when I finally did. Watching her freely pick out things she wanted, and being able to pay without hesitation, was one of the best feelings of my life.
This is why I encourage everyone to build additional income streams: they lift burdens and allow you to think, create, and grow freely.
So how do you get started? The easiest way right now is monetizing X combined with InfoFi.
Part One: InfoFi
To maximize returns, the smartest move currently is registering early on new InfoFi platforms. These platforms typically reward early users through points, leaderboards, and even future airdrops.
Xeet
-
High chance of an airdrop (similar to Kaito);
-
Earning is simple: just post content normally—the system automatically accumulates "Xeet Points" for you;
-
No need to tag or mention Xeet in your posts;
Wallchain
Post content and engage in crypto discussions to earn "Quacks" points—again, no need to tag or mention Wallchain; Currently, there are 8 live leaderboards with announced rewards from partner projects including: Limitless, Covalent, Genome
Mindo AI
-
Four incentivized campaigns are currently live, with partners including: Avalanche, Mindo AI, CoralApp, Elympics
-
How to earn: create content related to these projects, boost your "Mindo Score," and climb the leaderboards;
-
Low competition barrier: posting a few high-quality pieces can land you on the leaderboard and win rewards.
Many initially only focused on Kaito, but platforms like letsCatapult have quietly distributed rewards to early creators. Getting in now, while competition remains low, increases your chances of significant future returns.
Part Two: How to Monetize Within Two Weeks Without Disrupting Your Routine
The secret to monetizing within two weeks (requiring 5 million impressions) is surprisingly simple: comment under posts from large Web2 accounts.
Why Do This?
-
Web2 accounts have vastly greater reach and engagement compared to Web3 accounts;
-
The Web3 space is like an "echo chamber": only a small group cares about airdrops, perpetuals, meme coins, or development;
-
Web2 is global: content reaches massive audiences and can go viral; Web3 content struggles to spread, as many still view crypto as a scam or simply don't understand it.
To monetize quickly, spend most of your commenting time on big Web2 accounts—this is where the traffic lives. Examples of high-exposure Web2 accounts: @TheFigen_, @Plettigoal, @FabrizioRomano, @xxxxTheKing, @elonmusk, @DailyLoud, @LostMemeArchive, @PopBase, @DiscussingFilm, @historyinmemes, @cosmic_marvel, @AMAZlNGNATURE, @NoCapMediaa, @FearedBuck, @ishowspeedsui, @KaiCenat.
Commenting early under posts from these major accounts can generate massive exposure; if your comment is high quality, it can also gain strong engagement.
Efficient Execution Method
Create an account list: set up a new list and add the above Web2 accounts. You can later expand it with more accounts recommended by X.
Why use a list? X's "For You" feed mixes old and new content and shows algorithmically selected posts based on your interests. If you follow Web3 content, you'll only see Web3-related posts, severely limiting exposure. A list, however, shows only the latest posts from accounts you've added, ensuring you never miss the chance to comment early.
How to spot potentially viral posts early:
-
Follow areas like "movies, music, football, culture, politics, news" and look for posts that gain over 100K impressions within 30 minutes;
-
Immediately like and bookmark such posts—this signals the algorithm to recommend similar viral content to you;
-
If you don’t want Web2 content cluttering your main timeline, use a secondary account.
Tips for Using a Secondary Account
-
Create a secondary account, follow top Web2 accounts, and enable notifications;
-
Frequently like and bookmark viral posts from these accounts to train your secondary account’s timeline;
-
When you find a post worth replying to, first click "Reply" using your secondary account, draft your response, then tap your profile icon in the reply box, switch to your main account, and send the comment from there.
-
Focus on accounts covering popular topics you can genuinely engage with—this keeps your main account’s image clean (focused on Web3) while letting your secondary account capture Web2 traffic.
Three Types of Comments That Easily Go Viral
-
Contrarian Viewpoints: share insightful, curiosity-inducing perspectives while avoiding offense;
-
Question-Based: even a simple "@grok is this true?" can generate high visibility, as questions spark discussion and drive people to check the comments;
-
Relatable Content: share genuine emotions—funny, awkward, or emotional moments—that trigger readers to think, "I’ve been through that too."
Pro Tips
Don’t overthink your comments—just write what comes to mind. Viral comments often happen when you’re least trying.
Consistently apply this strategy to posts from your list, and actively engage with algorithm-recommended viral posts to boost exposure faster.
How to Gain Followers Through Comments?
Many overlook this: high-quality comments not only bring exposure but can also lead people to click your profile. If your content is interesting, they’ll follow you.
Therefore, you must:
-
Consistently post quality content on your main account (don’t rely solely on comments);
-
Optimize your profile: an appealing avatar, clean cover image, concise bio, and one compelling pinned post.
These are the first things visitors see—optimizing them greatly increases the conversion rate from profile clicks to follows.
Part Three: Recommended "Content Creator Reward Programs" Post-TGE (Token Generation Event)
-
MultiBank: $150,000 USDT reward pool distributed to the top 200 quality creators (Yappers);
-
DeFi App: 100 million HOME tokens reward pool (~$3.5 million at current market price);
-
Peaq: $137,600 monthly reward pool for the top 100 quality creators each month;
-
Polkadot: $100,000 monthly reward pool for quality creators each month.
Why recommend post-TGE programs?
-
Tokens are live: reward amounts are calculable, clear, and transparent;
-
Products are launched: you can actually use them and share authentic experiences;
-
Timelines and reward rules are defined: less speculation, reduced mental stress;
-
Less competitive than pre-TGE activities;
-
Rich content material: no need to spend excessive time researching.
Pre-TGE activities may offer large airdrops (even five-figure gains), but they’re often long-term, highly competitive, and sometimes unfair. Post-TGE programs may offer slightly lower rewards, but they’re safer, more predictable, and easier to create content for since the product already exists.
Best strategy: combine both and balance your time and effort accordingly.
Part Four: Stablecoin Yield Farming
Since we're discussing passive income, we can't skip stablecoin yield farming with high annual percentage yields (APY). If you've earned over $500 through the methods above and are looking for a secure way to grow it, I recommend trying stablecoin yield farming.
Why Is Stablecoin Yield Farming Smart?
-
Generates steady returns;
-
If the project hasn’t launched its token yet, you may also qualify for potential airdrops (e.g., Katana).
I won’t go into detail here—instead, here’s a curated list of solid stablecoin yield farming protocols for you to explore:
Katana (@katana), Multipli (@multiplifi), Paradex (@paradex), FalconStable (@FalconStable), Huma (@humafinance), Plume (@plumenetwork), Perena (@Perena__), Ethena (@ethena_labs), Infinifi (@infiniFi_), Terminal (@Terminal_fi), Upshift (@upshift_fi), Liminal (@liminalmoney), Level (@levelusd), Aegis (@aegis_im), Ethereal (@etherealdex), Hyperbeat (@0xHyperBeat), Loopscale (@LoopscaleLabs), Noon (@noon_capital), Openeden (@OpenEden_X), Resolv (@ResolvLabs), Strata (@strata_money), YieldFi (@GetYieldFi), Noble (@noble_xyz), Stream (@StreamDefi), Gaib (@gaib_ai), Reya (@reya_xyz), Zerobase (@zerobasezk), Superform (@superformxyz).
As you can see, there are numerous protocols available for stablecoin yield farming to generate passive income.
This concludes the article. I hope you’ve gained some immediately actionable insights. Stay consistent, keep experimenting, and your passive income streams will continue to grow.
