Good news, the rewards for the merl trading competition have been distributed, 97u, covering quite a bit of wear! The bad news is that there’s an alpha airdrop today and a TGE tomorrow, both of which are expected to have super high scores! I won't be able to get either! Feeling frustrated... So I added the plaza activity at the end. Maybe they'll give some rewards...
Made big money with alpha? Afraid of frozen withdrawal cards? Let's think about it from a different angle!
