It's been a long time since I've been to the square to watch. Recently, the rules and timelines for wallet participation have been changing each time. The goal is to limit participation for some users, allowing a small number of participating users to have sufficient profits. The earliest participation time has been shortened from the longest to thirty minutes, and the account restrictions have changed from no restrictions to requiring $100 within 7 days. Currently, there are still profits available within the trading period for alpha, and there are participants as well. Retail investors can try to get ahead by engaging in past rules, such as using your frequently used BN number, not a new one, trading more alpha, and brushing up a bit. The transaction fees on the SOL chain are low, making it possible to buy and sell for around $10. Moreover, recent alpha airdrops have been quite frequent, which could be considered a new way to earn rewards.
In summary: Go for things that have profits; if you're always complaining, then don't participate. Try to engage in the past activity rules as early as possible.
