In crypto, if it sounds too wild to be true, it’s probably happening already. Ghostwriters are no longer just for books or celebrity tweets. Now, they’re farming InfoFi airdrops, stacking engagement points, and commenting under Elon’s posts like their lives depend on it.
We’ve officially entered the SocialFi Hunger Games—and some folks brought a team.
Let’s break down what’s going on.
What Are Ghostwriters (in Crypto)?
Ghostwriters are people you pay to write for you. But in this new Web3 wave, they don’t just write. They:
- Create viral-style tweets and threads
- Engage with high-value posts (think Elon, Vitalik, or anything trending)
- Grow your audience using smart timing and keyword tricks
- Help you qualify for airdrops and creator payments on X.
In short, they make you look like you know what you’re doing online. Even if you’re busy sipping coffee and watching your bags go down.
Why Are People Hiring Ghostwriters?
Simple answer: money.
But more specifically, airdrop money. Projects like InfoFi are rewarding active users with tokens. These users don’t need to be coding smart contracts. They just need to farm visibility.
And guess what?
Ghostwriters are doing the dirty work. While you’re working your day job or doomscrolling Telegram, they’re:
- Posting thoughtful comments on viral threads
- Writing quote tweets with just enough spice to get likes
- Pushing threads that hit SEO triggers like “How I made $5k from one tweet”
It’s not just about clout. It’s about points, rankings, and token allocations.
After the first Kaito airdrop was a slam-dunk success (Season 2 is live now). Just look at the surge of activity around InfoFi airdrops. People are scrambling to farm engagement. So some hired help.
Yesterday, we published a blog covering the InfoFi airdrops. If you missed it, check it out here:
InfoFi Airdrops – Are They Quality or Spammy?
That blog lists a few of the hottest campaigns, and here’s the catch—many top farmers are ghostwriting or outsourcing their grind.
Here’s what these ghostwriters are doing to climb the leaderboard:
- Reacting quickly to new InfoFi campaign launches
- Quoting InfoFi ecosystem projects with “alpha” takes
- Coordinating with engagement groups to boost their visibility
- Writing threads that reference trending airdrops with good timing

Key Things to Know About This Trend
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s really happening:
- They’re Not Just Writers
Ghostwriters today act like your marketing team. They tweet, thread, comment, and even schedule. - They Play the Algorithm
These writers know how X rewards creators. They post at peak hours, use popular formats, and sneak in SEO terms like “InfoFi airdrops.” - They Join Engagement Pods
To boost each post, they collaborate in DM groups. Think of it like upvoting, but faster and more calculated. - They Monetize the Reach
Ghostwriters help accounts qualify for X monetization, SocialFi apps, and airdrop campaigns. If your tweet hits, you earn. - There’s a Market for This
Rates range from $500 to $2,000/month. Some offer “growth packages” with guaranteed results.
It’s hustle culture with a Web3 twist.
Should You Hire a Ghostwriter?
That depends on your situation.
If you’re short on time or don’t know how to write spicy crypto content—but have some funds to spare—it might be worth it.
Especially if:
- You want to farm InfoFi airdrops
- You need help growing your X (Twitter) account
- You’re trying to qualify for creator monetization
- You want your threads to stop flopping
Just make sure you work with someone who understands Web3 culture. This isn’t LinkedIn. It’s the jungle out here.
What an InfoFi Farm Might Look Like
Some of the more organized farmers are taking it a step further. Their setup looks something like this:
- Buy multiple X accounts with at least 200 followers and post history
- Hire a ghostwriter to run all of them
- Sign up for every InfoFi airdrop campaign
- Schedule tweets using tools like Hootsuite or TweetHunter
- Farm engagement like it’s harvest season
But here’s the catch: AI-generated posts can get flagged. If your tweets look robotic or lack originality, projects might exclude you from airdrops. It’s okay to use AI for brainstorming or formatting—but always add a personal twist. Make it feel human. Because that’s what still wins in SocialFi.
Final Thoughts
Ghostwriting for engagement isn’t new—but farming airdrops and SocialFi rewards with a ghostwriter team? That’s the new playbook.
InfoFi is just one example. As more projects start rewarding activity, the value of looking active will only go up.
You don’t have to join the trend. But don’t be surprised if the next “expert” you follow is actually just a guy in his pajamas paying another guy in his pajamas to write hot takes all day.
Happy farming—and may your ghost be a good one.
