That noon, I had just finished trading USDT with an acquaintance, and they said Alipay is faster.

As soon as I transferred, my phone instantly popped up a message:

[Alipay] Your account has been temporarily frozen due to abnormal transactions. If you need to appeal, please provide transaction proof…

My hand trembled, I clicked in, and the balance was cleared instantly.

I sat there blankly in my chair, my mind completely empty:

I just sold 300U, how did I become an 'involved account'?

You may not know, many people in the crypto circle are afraid to casually withdraw funds now:
• Over-the-counter trading monitored by the platform
• Transferring money through Alipay or bank cards triggers risk control

Last month, I received a call from home.

"The electricity meter at home is overdue, why does your mom have to go to the village hall to queue for payment?"

I said, "I’ll transfer you 200 yuan, just pay on your phone."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then one sentence left me speechless:

"Aren't you always saying you're making money? Can that little amount you earn pay for utilities?"

I really wanted to screenshot my wallet balance and send it to him.
There are over 3000 U, several project NFTs, and some tokens that look quite valuable.

But I can’t bring myself to say it.
Because I know he’s not wrong.

I'm an old investor, stepping on landmines from the DeFi Summer in 2021 to now.
• Invested in X2E, ran away
• Bought so-called 'AI chain', token with zero market value
• The worst was at the end of the year before last; in a 'Web3 data finance' project, I invested 1 million RMB,
The project team ran away, and the official website, Twitter, TG group... disappeared within three days.

I lost everything.
It's not just money; even the sense of trust is gone.

I began to doubt whether I was suited to stay in this circle.
Until this year, a friend told me something:

'The current on-chain gameplay has changed; some people don't rely on investments but on hanging tasks and swiping cards, earning three-digit dollars a day, and can spend directly.'

“What’s the budget?”

“Within 700,000, just need to be able to mortgage.”

I whispered to the agent, my tone very cautious.

But you don’t know, just the day before, I checked the airdrop list of a certain L2 project, and my wallet had over 130,000 US dollars worth of USDC and airdrop points combined.

Converted to RMB, it’s almost 1 million.

But at that moment, I actually didn’t dare to say a single truth.
Because I know: I can’t use this money right now.
• Withdrawing money is afraid of risk control
• Exchanging for USDT still requires card flipping and finding someone to mediate
• The off-market trading fees are high, the cycle is long, and I’m afraid of being cheated

I have an old friend from Shenzhen, a veteran in the crypto space, but he has always been low-key.
Last year we ran ZKsync and Starknet together, he helped us with group management, RPC modifications, and node rankings. Then he suddenly stopped talking.

The WeChat group was silent, the channel was quiet, we all thought he had exited the market.

Until one day, a few of us friends went out to eat, and when the bill came, he just used Apple Pay—an unfamiliar card to us.

I asked him when he became so wealthy?

He laughed and said: 'It's not about issuing coins, it's what I'm doing myself.'

After the meal, he showed me:

It's been three years; I've used 118 wallets and run on hundreds of chains.

Every interaction is recorded in Notion; I set reminders, tag, and was still scrolling Gas at three in the morning...
What do you ultimately get?

🟥 No tokens issued.
🟥 I didn't make the list after issuing tokens.
🟥 Ranking system error.
🟥 Points locked for 180 days.
🟥 Change rules, cut nodes, a white-collar job

The funniest time was when I ran a month of EigenLayer mainnet nodes and was finally told, 'You are not an early interaction user.' I was just wasting my time.

At that moment, I realized that just grabbing rewards ≠ earnings, interactions ≠ value, and effort ≠ returns.

Do you have this feeling:
• Projects say every day: 'Complete tasks for points', 'Interactions count as contributions'
• Then you believed it, interacting, taking screenshots, running nodes, making spreadsheets, one transaction at a time
• In the end, you get a bunch of so-called 'points', but what can you do with them? Can't withdraw, can't sell, can't spend

The project tells you: 'Please look forward to future airdrops',
You can only reply: 'Thank you for giving me a bunch of hopes that I can't eat.'

You work like a dog, but can’t even turn it into money for a cup of milk tea.

So did I. Until I met the Solayer card, for the first time:

AI has indeed exploded, especially Agents:
• AutoGPT, ChainGPT, Avive, BitAgent, MindOS… new projects every day
• Every day there are new on-chain Agents 'issuing commands, collecting data, generating tasks, executing interactions'
• Even starting to replace DeFi user operations, becoming 'on-chain automated humans'

But have you noticed a strange phenomenon:

There are more and more AI projects, but very few can actually 'execute tasks on-chain'.

Most projects' current Agents:
• Or just 'demo demonstration'
• Either still centralized server inference → returning false data on-chain

Until I opened Solayer, I didn't know what 'not interacting, but working' meant

You might have done this too:
• Spent 3 days running Taiko tasks, from on-chain to LayerZero to Starknet, complete interaction + image verification + gas consumption
• I joined 10 official channels, forwarded, left comments, and restarted the test network
• Finally, when the airdrop list is out: your wallet is not included
• The project states: 'Thank you for participating, airdrops will be given to users who contribute'

You look at your interaction records, transaction receipts, and screenshots of RPC being blocked, and realize:

Do you remember when Bitcoin could only 'transfer'?
Who would have thought that starting in 2024 it would actually:
• Started running smart contracts (BitVM)
• Launched inscriptions (Ordinals).
• Supported various L2s like ZK-Rollup, Bitlayer, BounceBit.
• Even DeFi, lending, LRT, and Restaking are being replicated on the BTC chain.

We watched BTC evolve from 'gold' into a functional asset network, transforming from silence to a new Ethereum alternative.

Questions arise as a result:

If Bitcoin is to be 'programmable', who will support its computational power?
Who will provide the power for its 'ZK proofs', 'contract execution', and 'AI tasks'?

He is an old OG in the crypto world,
He had been laying out the ZK track as early as 2019, participating in StarkNet, Celestia, and Arbitrum interactions.
Having dozens of popular project points in my wallet is what insiders call the 'how to earn textbook'.

But all of this collapsed after a 'withdrawal' operation.

💥 The day he got into trouble, the group exploded:
• He combined multiple wallet addresses for airdrop and withdrew to three domestic bank cards.
• Total amount approximately 160,000 USDT, transferred to the card in batches.
• The first day the funds are credited, the second day everything is frozen.
• The bank sent a message: "Due to involvement in virtual asset transactions, your account funds have been temporarily frozen, please cooperate with the investigation."

Don't be fooled by the current market.

While most people are still chasing old narratives and rehashing cold projects, I have quietly swapped several L2 projects in my hands for Solayer.

To put it simply, it is one of the few projects I dare to 'heavily invest + long-term stake' in 2025, not driven by KOL hype, but by hardcore users + technical accumulation + truly groundbreaking infrastructure projects.

🧠 What is Solayer? In one sentence: it is the hardware engine of the crypto world.

If you still hold the impression that 'Solayer is just another expensive and competitive hardware accelerator', then you haven't understood what it aims to do.

I am increasingly feeling that many chains are doing 'products.'
Only a very few chains are doing 'structure.'

Products are for people to use,
Structure is what enables all things to collaborate.
Products can make money, but structure can support a generation of civilization.

Solayer is the first time I have seriously thought about 'structure.'

🧠 Why it?

In today's world where EVM and L2 are almost deadlocked, what Solayer is doing —
It is not about seizing the market, nor is it about hype; it is doing 'underlying transformation.'
• It is not about changing smart contracts; it is about changing hardware communication protocols.
• It does not pursue fast TPS, but defines 'how blockchain nodes connect' using RDMA + InfiniBand.

Solayer? I really advise you not to touch it,
It resembles the destined nature of Solana in its early years too much.
You look at its hardware acceleration and think 'isn't this just an ordinary performance boost?'—
The result is, once you step in, you might not be able to come back.

🔻 Let’s first discuss two extreme scenarios:
1. Scenario A: Airdrop grabbers
“I just want to grab some BNSOL airdrops, I heard I can get LAYER every day, so I came to see how much I can earn.”
2. Scenario B: Technical surfer
“This architecture is amazing, million TPS + FPGA parallel + RDMA communication? Breaking all software layer bottlenecks, off-chain acceleration on-chain LTC.”

In recent years of looking at projects, to be honest, my mindset has changed.

In the past, I would brush through tweets, read white papers, and rush to grab nodes, only focused on 'is there money to make'.
Now people are just watching the excitement, seeing who has run away, or which VC finished cutting and opened the next project.

I'm neither nihilistic nor zen,
Just watched too much.

So when someone in the group throws out Solv, saying 'One account can earn 100+, supports multiple accounts, BRO tickets are useful',
My first reaction was: here’s another 'airdrop pipeline'.

As a result, I flipped through a bunch of materials, finished reading, and became quiet.

This project is not about riding the hype,
It's not about packaging,

For the past decade, Bitcoin has been trapped in a paradox:
• It is the most consensus digital asset in the world, yet cannot become the foundation of the financial system.
• Its price skyrockets, yet it cannot generate stable cash flow.
• It has extremely high liquidity but is frequently shut out from real large-scale capital allocation.

Starting from the end of 2024, a project called Solv is quietly untangling this deadlock.

✅ Question 1: Why can't BTC participate in the global sovereign capital system?

This question is something many people haven't seriously considered.

Why do Abu Dhabi, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia hold tens of trillions in sovereign funds?

We met in some interactive communication group.
Her avatar is in a qipao + black stockings, and her introduction is:
“A machine that extracts without feelings is destined to be lonely. I want to fall in love and steadily earn some BTC wealth management.”

I have fallen.
She gives me daily voice updates on task distribution, reward distribution, and interaction snapshots.
She asked me: 'Are you doing this because you love me, or because of Solv?'
I said: 'I love you.'
I configured all the tasks for her:
• Prize pool interactive task.
• Prize pool two daily solvBTC staking instructions.
• The 10 wallets she used are all proxy addresses I built.

She is a somewhat famous live-streaming goddess in the crypto world, nicknamed 'Luna Baby'.
Focusing on late-night chats, exchanging NFTs for voice, and airdrop tutorials only in tank tops.

In her group, I am the lowest 'old lecher'.
Even her tweets need to rush for comments to draw 'accompanying rights'.
One day she sent a private message: 'Little brother, do you understand the technical details of Solv airdrop? I will provide the wallet, and you come help me get votes~'
I immediately agreed.
She said, 'If you help me get enough 66 votes every night, I will... give you an exclusive voice reward.'
I barely slept those few nights.
I am helping her modify the Solv staking script into an on-chain batch process.

She is the kind of woman that makes you want to kneel and call her 'sister' at first sight.
I live in her duplex, sleep on her sofa, and swipe her milk tea card.
She said: "You can know nothing, but you must help me finish Solv."
She swayed in front of me every day in a tank top, saying:
"When the votes increase, I'll reward you with a kiss; if you fill the reward ticket, I'll let you sleep in the master bedroom."
I really believed it at the time.
What I do every day is:
• Get up and connect the wallet to interact.
• Manual staking of 6U solvBTC + 50U rBTC
• Track the reward pool progress and connect with task completion screenshots.
• Reporting the vote count screenshot at night, she says 'Good,' and I feel flushed all over.

Sometimes what you insist on is not technology or belief, but a little "stubbornness after being looked down upon."

My mother is a traditional person. Every time she sees news about "cryptocurrency fraud", she calls me out to watch.
My girlfriend works in finance. She looks at the K-line charts of big companies every day and thinks I’m wasting my time by checking Binance Square every day.

They all said, "You're getting nowhere with these games. You should settle down and find a proper job."

I once doubted whether I had done something wrong until I came across the Solv airdrop.

I didn't believe it at first.
One said it was an airdrop from a Binance cooperation project, saying that 6U cost could earn 160U.
