Prepare for deep drawdowns with a survival-first plan for capital and psychology.
By Menno - 13 years in crypto, 3 bear markets survived, zero paid promotions
Last updated: April 2026
Most investors lose money on Kamino because they enter without a rules-based system. DeFi tokens are strongly linked to on-chain activity, liquidity depth, and protocol revenue durability. Alpha Factory classifies Kamino as high risk. The goal is to make KMNO decisions repeatable across bull and bear conditions.
Plan Objectives
- •Prioritize capital preservation over aggressive growth.
- •Use risk indicators to adjust exposure gradually.
- •Keep dry powder for high-conviction opportunities.
Execution Framework
- 1
Reduce position size targets for KMNO and prioritize capital preservation over aggressive growth.
- 2
Increase cash or stablecoin reserves so you can buy high-conviction dips selectively.
- 3
Focus on fundamentals: active users, development velocity, and token utility during weak market regimes.
- 4
Rebuild exposure gradually only when macro risk indicators and market structure begin to improve.
Signals To Watch
- Kamino Lend provides lending and borrowing of SOL, USDC, mSOL, and other Solana assets with competitive rates
- Multiply feature enables leveraged LST positions (staked SOL) with automated rebalancing to maintain collateral ratio
- K-Lend liquidity mining rewards are distributed proportionally to protocol usage, incentivizing deep market liquidity
Risk Checklist
- Solana-only positioning creates concentration risk — any Solana network issues directly impact all Kamino products simultaneously
- Leveraged LST positions amplify slashing risk — a major Solana validator incident could cascade through Multiply positions
- KMNO token launch was delayed multiple times, reducing confidence in team execution timelines
