There are too many participants, so the score keeps getting higher. If we add another 10%, the value of the airdrop will be lower. Isn't it not very clear that the returns are getting lower each time?

Speaking of the Alpha project, I have some say in it, after all, I witnessed and participated in its entire lifecycle.

I started participating in the Alpha activities for the first time in March. To be precise, it wasn't called Alpha back then, just TGE. The first event sold for 103U, and at that time, no points were required, with only over 20,000 addresses participating. Then came the 200+u of $PARTI , and I felt that the opportunities were really good back then. Before each TGE, I would bring a slight increase to $BNB .

The real airdrop began in April, when the eligibility for the airdrop was simply that you had traded on Alpha, then it became that you needed to trade and hold, and finally, there were requirements for the trading amount to qualify for the airdrop. Moreover, the calculation period for the rules starts from a certain historical period in the far past. So even though it was competitive back then, there wasn't a clear target value to compete for, similar to today's trading competitions, where there are many uncertainties, making it impossible for studios to quantify and control resources to compete with regular users.

Starting from May, the point system was announced, and by mid-month, the deduction system was introduced. Studios and tech teams with resource quantification advantages had already turned the initially emerging ecosystem of Alpha into a red ocean. The many people cursing in the plaza are not complaining about not being able to participate, but about the unfairness and inequality. Are the continuously rising scores really produced by ordinary users? False trading volumes do not create a good ecosystem; they only create the illusion for newcomers entering the crypto space that they can make money just by brushing up trading.

For those with high scores hoarding and not participating in low-scoring projects, we could completely confirm whether they would participate in the airdrop 24 hours before and deduct points, locking in their spots, and then airdropping on time the next day. This would also enhance everyone's research ability regarding airdrops.

Regarding the persistently high scores, we could add another layer like the previous lottery numbers, which might seem to increase the quota by 10%, but in reality retains most users. The currently extremely high scores have polarized users; one group is those who trade dozens or hundreds of times a day to earn a few hundred U and suffer from cervical spondylosis, while the other group is those who use dozens of accounts and quantify them to earn tens of thousands a month. Given the choice, who would stay?

Finally, I still want to thank Alpha, because it really helped me make money.
