In the vast starry sea of Web3, on-chain airdrops streak by like meteors, each carrying wealth and dreams. Little Frog is an on-chain hunter passionate about airdrops, traversing the Discord and Twitter of various projects day and night, chasing every clue of airdrops. His little fox wallet is filled with a variety of on-chain footprints, but it also hides an unknown secret.
That day, the offline gathering of the Web3 community was in full swing at a cyberpunk-themed café. The lighting was dim, with NFT art screens flickering with pixelated cats, and the air was filled with the aroma of coffee and the fervor of blockchain. Little Frog sat in the corner, nervously tapping on the keyboard.
Suddenly, a girl known as the 'Goddess on the Chain' approached, her eyes sparkling with curiosity: 'Little Frog, you've been so diligent with your airdrops lately, which top-tier project did you get an airdrop from recently?'
Little Frog felt a chill down his back, his fingers stiff on the keyboard, stammering: 'It's... it's the one that everyone is using...'
The girl’s eyes lit up, her tone excited: 'Oh? Is it Arbitrum? The king of L2, big potential, high returns on premium accounts!'
Little Frog's throat felt dry, his voice as weak as a disconnected node: 'No...'
The girl wouldn’t let up, her tone teasing: 'Then it must be StarkNet, right? The king of zero-knowledge proofs, good eye for selecting projects!'
'No...' Little Frog lowered his head, staring at the keyboard, wishing he could dive into the screen.
The girl tilted her head and smiled, her tone light: 'Movement? Although the founder's controversy caused quite a stir, at least the coin was issued, which counts as a return. What's there to be embarrassed about?'
Little Frog's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice like a stuttering smart contract: 'That's not it either...'
The air froze for two seconds. The girl suddenly widened her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of incredulity: 'You can't be... using Binance Alpha, right? That’s the super airdrop of CEX, quite a big deal!'
Little Frog's face turned crimson, the spotlight-like gaze left him with nowhere to hide. He clutched his thigh tightly, forcing out a sentence through gritted teeth: 'None of them!'
The noise of the café seemed muted, the surrounding gazes focused like on-chain witch hunters. The girl’s smile froze, her voice turning colder: 'Then what... are you really using?'
'Airdrops are just those few top-tier projects, what else could be special?' Her words pierced Little Ming's heart like the cold gas fees.
Little Frog's knees buckled, and he 'thudded' to the ground, his eyes red and choked with emotion as he shouted, 'I... I am using Linea!'
The place fell into dead silence, with only the distant hum of mining machines buzzing. The onlookers cast sympathetic glances, as if witnessing Little Frog being mercilessly ignored at the airdrop exchange meeting.
Little Frog covered his face tightly, hot embarrassment seeping through his fingers. The girl grabbed her limited edition NFT jacket and turned to leave. Little Frog panicked, crying out as he tugged at her clothes: 'Don’t go! Linea is really about to issue coins!'
A low chuckle erupted from the crowd. But Little Frog held on tighter, shouting hoarsely: 'Don’t laugh at us for using Linea! What’s wrong with having worked on Linea Park for so long! What if LXP and LXP-L were diluted! What if humanity proved to be a witch hunt! We are using a top-tier project! The parent company of Little Fox Wallet, Consensys, endorses it, with an OTC valuation of $7 billion! These are all solid data! Those who use Linea really have vision!'
Just then, the footsteps of the head of the Web3 studio could be heard from afar, accompanied by a long sigh: 'Alas, another one gone crazy over Linea...'
Little Frog clung to the hem of the girl's clothes, tears in his eyes, while the task progress bar for Linea Park on the screen continued to crawl slowly. In the Web3 world, airdrops come in waves, rising and falling unpredictably. Some have become rich in the tide of Arbitrum, while others have gained fame overnight due to StarkNet’s ZK dreams, but Little Frog’s Linea still silently waits on the chain for that unarrived meteor.
'Linea will issue coins, right?' Little Frog murmured to himself, his gaze as firm as ever.
