The presale of this Virtual ecosystem $ARBUS opened steadily at the 10M position.

I invested about 150,000 points and actually acquired 36 Virtual.

Currently valued at approximately 1800 Virtual = 3400u, which should be around fifty times, and the return is quite good.

The staked 500 Vir portion has received ARBUS worth 40 Vir, which means this time I have recouped about 8%, a bit less than a quarter of the last time’s $AXR.

In these few days, as I have experienced the Vir ecosystem, I feel there are several obvious points that need attention:

1. The formula Points = Money is still effective, especially for projects that have clear official endorsement and where there is an official buy-in of shorts at the bottom, such as @virtuals_io. The returns on points are extremely high, and with the precedent of $AXR, the market cap can generally stabilize, since the lowest point is also from the official side rather than from snipers.

In future decisions, major points should be invested in projects with clear official support.

2. The yields from Virtual staking have decreased.

This time, the return of 8% compared to last time's 25% is indeed less. However, the previous AXR opened at 20M, so the data to compare should be 8%*2 = 16%.

Comparing 16% with 25%, staking yields have decreased by about one-third.

It also indicates that after the first airdrop, the number of stakers gradually increased.

So those who still want to stake for airdrops should reconsider the balance between airdrop portions and points returns before deciding.

I believe that in the future, as staking increases and matures, the staking airdrop returns should stabilize after a period of time, and will also trend towards points returns > airdrop token returns.

3. After integrating Kaito, the difficulty of obtaining Yaps points has increased, and more points are going to diamond hands.

After Virtual integrated Kaito, it gained more attention, and many people who initially used Kaito joined in, which has made it more difficult for those who previously found it easy to earn points.

However, this is also inevitable; the more people join, the more competitive it becomes, and the content quality improves.

The daily manually claimed points for diamond hands seem to be more than before.

My personal suggestion is that if you still want to earn more points, on one hand, improve the quality of your posts, and on the other hand, seek out official projects to participate in presales + find positions to build up. It is quite clear that the official points adjustments are leaning towards diamond hands.
