2025 can be said to be a transformative year for the 'hair pulling' industry—insufficient liquidity, unlimited harvesting by VC groups, Binance Alpha splitting community shares, and an increasing number of projects countering 'hair pulling' have confirmed that: the era of mass on-chain interactions and mindless script-based 'hair pulling' may be coming to an end. Deep participation in the community is becoming the mainstream way of 'hair pulling' in the new era.
In the past, projects could launch and reach a market value of hundreds of billions; now, tens of billions or even hundreds of millions are considered good; plus, Binance Alpha will take a bite, so project parties will naturally only incline limited airdrops to core contributors.
In the new era of 'hair pulling', having skills + social skills is the ace. I see friends like @iamoldorange and @spicycandy01, who are newcomers to Web3, but through skills like drawing and video editing, along with strong social abilities, they quickly integrate into project communities and gain Discord contributor roles, definitely achieving good results that far exceed 99% of 'hair pullers'.
As for me, I have no skills, can't navigate DC well, and have limited time due to work. What I can do is persist in writing articles and actively interact. I am not a KOL, just a small player, but I still choose to go with the flow—after all, a chance encounter may also yield great results.
SuccinctLabs has recently clearly started to value promotion on the X platform, rather than being limited to DC alone. Community art competitions and ART tasks are no longer the only requirements for community building. Therefore, in this area of community-building 'hair pulling', I choose to go all in with Succinct!
Currently, I summarize the ways to participate as follows:
1️⃣ Testnet Tasks
Friends with a test activation code can continue to play the testnet game to earn stars. I personally recommend 'Milk Dragon Run', as it seems to consume U the fastest right now. It doesn't matter if your score is low; the ratio for getting stars is the same. This week, my star crit was 5.62 times, earning 702 stars, bringing my total to 9267, ranking in the top few hundred.
2️⃣ 10K Tweet Event
Tweets that have been read over 10K times and have a certain level of interaction quality may have the opportunity to gain early access to second test WL or even higher-level L2 roles. Method: Post eligible tweets in the '10k-plus-tweets' channel of the DC group, @yinger; if you don’t have permission, you can post in the Chinese group @lovecity, and he will help repost.
3️⃣ Join the 'Succinct Chinese Prove Team' Twitter community
This Twitter community specifically records everyone's contributions on X. Frequent yappers, those who write well, and familiar faces all have a chance to obtain second test WL or DC roles.

4️⃣ DC Weekly Activities
For example, singing competitions, mini-games, tank battles, etc. As long as you keep participating and become a familiar face, you have the chance to obtain community roles.
The era of 'hair pulling' is changing, and so are the opportunities. It is no longer just a cold, hard chain but a combination of skills + participation + expression. Although I am not good at it, I am trying hard to build my bridge with words.
