Are mainstream trading users of Alpha on the brink of losses in the past 30 days?
Where should we go from here?
✨ Let's talk about rationally viewing the Alpha airdrop returns and embracing the true value of the ecosystem.
1. The dual challenge of slim profits and tightening rules
This issue's VELO airdrop offers about $3.5/day in returns, but the marginal utility of scoring points is nearing the cost line. The new regulations on June 17 (cancellation of trading points between tokens) will fundamentally change the game rules—high-frequency trading arbitrage models will be difficult to sustain, and users will have to confront the reality of skyrocketing costs.
2. Rule upgrades force strategy transformation
The platform policy adjustments send a clear signal: the Alpha ecosystem is shifting from “volume arbitrage” to “value accumulation.” If users cling to old strategies, they will not only see their returns shrink but may also fall into a passive position due to rule iterations.
3. Three points for sustainable returns
Enhanced real trading weight: Focus on trading promising tokens to improve account real liquidity.
Deep ecosystem participation: Pay attention to collaborative activities with project parties, staking, and other interactive forms to obtain diverse returns;
Long-term value: Choose quality assets to hold, look at long-term ecological dividends rather than short-term traffic.
4. Future competitiveness lies in “authenticity” and “deep cultivation”
The optimization of platform rules is an inevitable trend. Only by linking account activity with ecological value can rewards be continuously obtained. The narrowing of short-term arbitrage windows presents an opportunity for users to build long-term advantages—rather than gaming the rules, it is better to become co-builders of the ecosystem.
The airdrop mechanism of the Alpha ecosystem has entered the “fine cultivation” stage, and everyone needs to view returns with a more mature perspective: rule-based dividends will eventually fade, while the creation of real value is the source of lasting returns.
