Alpha airdrops have turned into a 'Hunger Games'.

In May, Alpha points were as easy to get as candy in a convenience store. During the #SIGN airdrop, a few quick transactions were enough to get in. Now, accumulating points has become a full-time job:

Want 15 points? First, hand over $32,000 in trading volume, and endure the 'pain' from slippage when buying.

New players starting from scratch? At least 13 consecutive days of trading with precision like clocking in at work to qualify for the first airdrop.

Ironically, claiming an airdrop consumes 15 points, and those who just squeezed in are quickly kicked out of the next feast.

Last week, an old friend chuckled bitterly: 'Now, earning points feels like dancing in a minefield.' He referred to the tragic incident where someone lost $47,000 to an MEV bot while trying to trade KOGE, getting back only 0.009 tokens, with a per-token cost of $5.18 million.
