The historical high score of 251 has arrived. Let me analyze why, despite the decrease in numbers and the banning of so many accounts, the score is not only maintained but has actually risen.
First, the existence of br. Firstly, this coin has a market value of 10 million and a pool of 20 million, plus the refund of transaction fees, which means almost everyone can brush past the low wear of the previous large pools like zkj and koge. I joked with friends that for such projects, we don't even need to care about what actions have been taken; the refund of transaction fees alone is already a construction.
Second, the most common tiers are still 2+15 and 2+16. So, if we reverse-engineer, 18*15=270-15-15=240, or 17*15=255-15=240 (there's a chance of hitting the second one, or there’s a possibility for a base score of 3). Although only two are obtained, calculating at 50u means an income of 100u, while the wear calculated by brushing br is only about 45u (a friend just corrected me that approximately 15=3 and 16=6 wear, and there were only a few days of activity). Of course, all of this is disregarded. The most crucial point is that if these people do not pick up trash, most are stuck at the 230-240 score line, making it impossible for airdrops below 240; otherwise, wouldn’t over 70,000 accounts be able to claim?
Third, the existence of trading competitions. I believe everyone knows that if trading competitions are done well, the wear can basically be recovered. That's why we see the striving Chinese people; the ridiculous threshold for trading competitions is also evident. Basically, those brushing for 3-5 days are around 300,000, meaning that the 65,000 tier has been brushed up. Because human nature dictates that if I can earn rewards without losing, or at least lose less, then it’s profit—after all, it’s free to earn points.
So it currently seems that there really isn't a better solution, as so many accounts are stuck at 230-240. Unless there is another wave of resignations. As long as there are still 100,000 accounts grinding, the score line will inevitably remain above 240.
I hope Binance can come up with another move to consume points, such as having earned so much from transaction fees, can they take out some real money to support a few hardworking builders in the alpha space (let's ignore those like rex who run away with the pool). Buy back and then distribute airdrops again, so that project parties who genuinely work can see hope after reaching alpha, creating a virtuous cycle, rather than the current situation where unscrupulous project parties see alpha with shining eyes, while quality project parties shake their heads at the mention of alpha.
Now, it seems that 2+16 is indeed the optimal solution, but it really lacks flavor.
