@Solayer Just tweeted that the June Emerald Reward Drop (cardholder airdrop) has arrived. This time, it's an airdrop of $SAHARA token rewards, with the airdrop amount expected to be around 50 U based on May. The first airdrop of June has unexpectedly arrived!!!
In May, there were two Solayer Emerald Reward Drop rewards issued. One was a 100 U BTC airdrop on May 12; the other was a 20,000 USD CHAOS token airdrop on May 23! On average, each airdrop reward was around 50 U, with all costs only being 75 U, which is the cost of applying for the Solayer Emerald Card. Subsequently, there are basically 2-3 airdrop rewards every month, which you can buy directly.

1. Let's talk about the reward rules for cardholders' airdrop (Emerald Rewards)
The Emerald Rewards mechanism of the Emerald Card is truly remarkable, with the core principle being 'the more you spend, the more you earn.' Every purchase accumulates points, which are hard currency for redeeming on-chain benefits.
1. In terms of token airdrops, Solayer collaborates with the Solana protocol to launch attractive reward activities. You only need to spend $1,000, and you might receive a token airdrop for a new project, making 'spending equals investing' a reality.
2. Users with more points can enjoy priority benefits, such as early access to Solayer's new product testing, community activities, and even skip the waiting list for the Emerald Card, getting to experience new features ahead of others.
3. Moreover, it collaborates with SolanaID, allowing every purchase to enhance your on-chain identity score. In the future, it is expected to unlock ecological privileges such as governance voting weighting, giving you more say within the Solana ecosystem.
4. The referral rewards are also considerate; for every $1,000 spent, you can invite friends to skip the waiting list, and when your friends spend, you can receive a 10% points share, which is essentially 'earning while you sleep.' I must say, this reward mechanism is very appealing; regular users can 'take advantage,' and deep players can also gain on-chain reputation and priority, achieving a win-win situation!

2. The total cost is only 75 U; the first month already recoups the investment, focusing on cost-effectiveness, and being able to spend in US region apps is key.
After real testing, I found it to be a 'treasure card.' Not only can it be linked to Apple Pay, but it can also be linked to the Apple Store. For someone like me who frequently uses apps from the US region, this feature is incredibly practical!
Previously, when using a regular U card for payments like Twitter Blue or ChatGPT, the risk control was so strict that it was frustrating, and payments often failed. It was really annoying to try again and again, only to fail each time. But since I got the Emerald Card, all those worries have vanished. Now, payments are simple and fast, as if I've put an 'accelerator' on my payment experience.
What's even more surprising is that using the Emerald Card for purchases also allows participation in Solayer's second season of the points program. Every time you spend money, you can accumulate points, and once you gather enough points, you can exchange them for various benefits. It feels like you are 'earning money' while spending, making consumption even more motivating!

3. Most importantly!!! The issue of withdrawal risks has been resolved!
Now, Solayer has also solved the withdrawal issue, which undoubtedly injects strong momentum into its ecosystem development. The resolution of the withdrawal problem makes more users willing to deposit funds into the Solayer platform to participate in various investment and trading activities, further enriching the platform's ecosystem. At the same time, the BTC airdrop activity of 10 - 100 U serves as a strong incentive for new users to join, while providing long-term support for existing users.
In the long run, I am very optimistic about the development of the SOL ecosystem. Infrastructure like SVM and high-frequency on-chain scenarios will inevitably ignite more application scenarios and experiences within the SOL ecosystem. Let's wait and see what kind of brilliance Solayer can create in the future!
