One, analysis of issuance situation
💰Most of this week's XP is covered by @rektech:
•rektech (bottom rank, 0 points in 3 rounds) + giga (around level ten) + cockroach run (play once for free) = 7700 XP
•rektech (a few thousand) + giga + cockroach run = 11000 XP
•rektech (a few thousand) + giga + cockroach run = 18000 XP
•rektech (a few hundred) + giga + cockroach run = 25000 XP
•rektech (top ten ~ a few hundred) + giga + cockroach run = 30000 XP
Key Conclusion:
•As long as you participate in rektech, you can at least earn a few thousand XP.
•rektech spreads XP evenly, 0 points can still yield 5000, but the top ten only gives a little over 20,000 XP.
•New giga accounts basically have no XP, and old accounts yield at most a few thousand.
•Cockroach run (regardless of free or paid) if the rank is not high, it almost yields no XP; if ranked, it has a few thousand to over 10,000.
•Setting sail without full capacity almost yields no XP, even when full, only 1-2 thousand XP.
•Lottery tickets yield 0 XP if not ranked, even if ranked, at most a few thousand XP.

Two, airdrop rules may have changed
It is said that this week's total XP issuance is close to 2 billion, directly cultivating 100,000 Silver users, which means:
Having only Silver may no longer qualify for airdrops; future basic number standards may be raised to:
Silver + a certain number of badges, or starting from Gold!
Personal speculation: future airdrops may be comprehensively judged based on the following indicators:
•Cross-chain amount
•Wallet balance or ETH holding amount
•Holding amount of $PENGU
•Level
•Number of Badges
•Discord Role
•Live streaming permission
•NFT big penguin
•Whether X platform publishes articles and earns contribution badge 'The
Threadoor

Three, my response strategy
Goal: Gold level + collect badges that can be obtained for free or for a few U.
Operation plan as follows:
1) Weekly play rektech, strategy as follows:
- On the first/second day, seek stability and survival, strive to enter the top 1500.
- On the third day, sweep mines to sprint for 200 points, which basically places one within the top few hundred.
2) Giga casual participation
- Do not invest too much energy, but maintain activity.
3) Don't set sail
- Setting sail has too low cost-effectiveness; even when full, it doesn't yield much XP, so I give up.
4) Projects like lotteries that require spending money will not be played for now.
- Ranking is too difficult, XP is unstable, and there is a risk of counterproductive efforts.
5) Ensure balance is greater than 30U
- Continuously exchange U for E when ETH is at a low price, or convert all U to E in ABS after a year.
6) Casually obtain live streaming permission + X platform 'The Threadoor' contribution badge
- These are two items that are likely to add points to the airdrop indicators; they are difficult, but there is a glimmer of hope.

ABS will increase XP tilt for projects they want to promote at specific times. For example, the previous Giga badge week and this week's RekTech is a similar situation.
ABS and RekTech will jointly launch a 5-day game event next week, and the official is clearly pushing hard. Signals like this (free projects) are worth capturing in advance, maintaining a keen sense of smell.
Thinking back to before, I was playing Giga every day of the week, setting sail, and hanging hundreds of lottery tickets, I almost wanted to throw up, maybe earning a few hundred or a few thousand XP, even spending dozens to hundreds of U, only getting one or two thousand XP.
And this week has been directly diluted, it's simply the week of equality for all beings, the week of latecomers surpassing others, and the week of studios taking off—everyone is back on the same starting line of Silver.
The previous hope was to rush to Silver, thinking about eating meat at Silver, and now the last hope—rush to Gold.
I hope that in the future, there won't be large XP distributions, leading to a situation where 'gold is everywhere, and platinum is scarce.' I would lose hope and perspective because I never even dreamed of reaching from Gold to Platinum~
In summary, I am always optimistic about ABS; currently, the entire project's rhythm is stable, direction is correct, and it has entered a very ideal Golden stage.
