Has the airdrop craze faded?
From Arbitrum to Starknet, and from NXPC to SOON. The airdrop hustle once became the most 'decentralized' side job for workers.
However, the trend has changed now.
The core discussion in various communities is how to grab Binance Alpha!
The reasons why airdrops are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain are:
1️⃣ Project teams have become smarter, realizing that the token incentives they provide to the community are all being exploited by studios through multiple accounts, so they have started implementing anti-sybil mechanisms. They monitor for impure IPs, and regardless of how high the interaction points are, you won't receive the last token!
2️⃣ The periods are too long; airdrop periods can range from just a few days to several years. Many people, while trying to get airdrops, see others making a lot of money through trading contracts and chain-based low-quality tokens, leading to unstable mindsets and frequent dropouts.
3️⃣ There are too many unknown factors, resulting in many projects being exploited in return. Each project's TGE time and rules vary, causing opportunists to go all out when they see a promising project, incurring significant fees and wear, ultimately leading to exploitation in return.
Meanwhile, Binance has started frequently airdropping 'Alpha'.
The benefits are clear to everyone—over a thousand U each month for a luxurious meal, it's quite enticing... it’s almost comparable to the monthly salary of many positions. The most important thing is that this is guaranteed income!
