Brothers! Did anyone else miss out on the two big airdrops from Solayer in May like I did?
One is the $100 BTC airdrop on May 12;
Another one is the $20,000 CHAOS token airdrop on May 23!
According to the official Twitter, there will still be Emerald Reward Drops (airdrops for cardholders) in the future, who would have thought! It's really here again today! (PS Original text: Users who participated in the token presale or hold the Emerald Card can participate in the community allocation of $SAHARA. If you are a holder of the Solayer Emerald Card, you only need to register and log in to Buidlpad with your Solayer Emerald Card's SOL address and keep an eye on it!!!)
Firstly, Solayer's Emerald Card Emerald Rewards: a reward mechanism that allows you to 'pick up money' while spending.
The Emerald Rewards mechanism of the Emerald Card is a major highlight; simply put, it means 'spend more, earn more'. Every purchase accumulates points that can be redeemed for various on-chain benefits.
Token airdrop: Solayer will collaborate with other Solana protocols to launch reward activities. For instance, if you spend $1,000, you might receive a token airdrop from a new project.
Priority benefits: Users with more points can participate in testing of Solayer's new products, community activities, or skip the waiting list for the Emerald Card.
On-chain reputation: By collaborating with SolanaID, every purchase will enhance your on-chain identity score, potentially unlocking more ecological privileges in the future, such as weighted governance voting.
Referral rewards: For every $1,000 spent, you can invite a friend to skip the waiting list, and when your friend spends, you can earn 10% of the points as a share, which is a form of 'easy income'.
Let me share my personal opinion: This reward mechanism really knows how to 'capture hearts'. For ordinary users, spending can also earn airdrops, which is simply a 'sheep shearing' artifact; for deep players in the Solana ecosystem, on-chain reputation and priority are even more bonus points!
Secondly, the Emerald Card can be used for direct consumption in US region apps!!!
Let me first talk about the amazing experience brought to me by the Solayer Emerald Card. I found in practice that it can not only be linked to Apple Pay but also to the Apple Store, which is incredibly useful for me as a frequent user of US region apps. Previously, payments for Twitter Blue, ChatGPT, etc., were often blocked due to strict risk control on regular USD cards, leading to frequent payment failures, which was quite frustrating. With the Emerald Card, these problems are easily solved, making payments simple and quick. Additionally, spending allows participation in Solayer's second season point plan, enabling users to accumulate points and exchange for benefits while spending, which adds more motivation to spend.
Three, new narrative: Be a low-key handsome guy.
It is worth mentioning that more and more foreign fans are using Solayer Emerald Cards for daily payments, and the experience is very good. This is thanks to its hardware acceleration which achieves a million TPS, providing a payment experience comparable to VISA. With the Solayer Emerald Card, you can pay directly with USDC, and through sUSD, you can also earn an annual yield of 4-5%, close to the yield of a 10-year US Treasury bond, which is quite considerable.
Now, Solayer has solved the withdrawal issue, which undoubtedly injects strong momentum into its ecological development. The resolution of the withdrawal problem has made more users willing to deposit funds into the Solayer platform, participate in various investment and trading activities, and further enrich the platform ecosystem. Meanwhile, the 10-100U BTC airdrop activity serves as a strong incentive for new users to join and as a reward for long-term support for existing users.
In the long run, I am very optimistic about the development of the SOL ecosystem. Infrastructure like SVM and on-chain high-frequency scenarios will undoubtedly ignite more application scenarios and experiences within the SOL ecosystem. Let's wait and see what kind of brilliance Solayer can create in the future!
