Airdrop enthusiasts rejoice! Linea is giving away money, and practical projects are worth waiting for
Last month at midnight, my roommate Xiaoyu was ecstatic about the Linea airdrop — from the $LINEA he received, he directly exchanged the unlocked portion for a Switch.
Last summer, Xiaoyu stayed up late every day on the Linea test network “farming”, complaining that the interaction was cumbersome “like a waste of time”. As a result, when the airdrop started on December 9, he used his original address to claim and cash out, stating “farming really can break even”.
This time, Linea's airdrop is extremely generous: 9.36 billion $LINEA can be claimed before December 9, with 85% of the total supply allocated to the ecosystem, 10% unlocked “free”, and 75% for industry big shots to build, with the team and investors having zero share, avoiding the trap of cutting leeks.
But compared to short-term airdrops, those in the know are more focused on practical projects. For example, after claiming the airdrop, Xiaoyu turned his attention to Lista, whose “stablecoin + yield” model allows for the generation of lisUSD through LSD collateral, enabling stable earnings + high APY, suitable for lazy people;
There’s also Solayer's “safe group buying”, which allows new projects to leverage Solana's mainnet security at a low cost, reducing costs by 90%, benefiting the development of small projects.
Positioning in practical projects like Linea, Lista, and Solayer is akin to waiting for the UNI airdrop in 2020; entering early can be profitable. The rules of the crypto world: bull markets compete on speed, bear markets compete on positioning. Don’t just focus on airdrops, pay more attention to infrastructure and ecosystem projects; securing a position in advance can help you stand firm when the cycle explodes.
