The low entry threshold of Alpha has led to a series of problems. Previously, various influencers on Xiaohongshu or Binance Square preached about how to earn over ten thousand a month with just a few clicks. Coupled with the special bonuses from Alpha in May, such as the adventure island NXPC and other lucrative opportunities, it gave people a sense that making money was as easy as eating.
Initially, everyone was attracted with the assumption that:
1. Maintain a score above 190, earn 2+15 points daily, and ultimately receive around 8 airdrops each month,
2. Each airdrop yields 100U
3. Transaction loss per unit is around 0.02-0.03%
However, in reality, due to Binance's extremely low entry threshold and relatively limited 'meat', once the number of participants reaches tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand, the ecosystem inevitably becomes unfavorable.
The new regulations on April 25th were a sign of this. Initially, only over 100 points were needed to obtain an airdrop; even NXPC only required 187 points. As the end of May approached, the points required for airdrops had already neared or even reached 200, such as PFVS 204 and ASRR 207.
Entering June has already started to become problematic: the threshold score for the first LayerEdgen reached 223 points, but the yield dropped to 30-40U. The current situation is quite awkward.
The original core assumptions need to be adjusted to:
1. Maintain a score above 210,
2. Each airdrop yields 50U
3. Transaction loss per unit is around 0.02-0.03%, be cautious to avoid being caught in between.
What does this mean? Everyone can simulate the calculations.
