I don’t know if you have noticed that since 2024, the cryptocurrency circle is no longer a time when gold is everywhere. Project parties have started endless PUA and formulated "witch strategies". Once many players choose the wrong project from beginning to end, they will easily be enslaved by the project and become the nutrients harvested by a certain project party, and in the end they will get nothing.
Nowadays, if you want to get satisfactory airdrop returns, you not only need to do more research to understand the background and potential of the project, but also need to formulate a suitable strategy to find a breakthrough under the restrictions of multiple rules. This is what the editor has been trying to learn.
Although the market conditions have not been good recently, many users still made some profits when some projects released gold coins.
Many users of Starknet's native token "$STRK" have deployed dozens of accounts in advance and obtained a good airdrop quota. Some players have also relied on this wave to cross classes.
Unisat airdropped hundreds of "$Pizza" inscriptions to all users with historical interactions, and the single number achieved an astonishing 600U income.
Dogs can be said to be the most ambitious airdrop project in recent times. As a popular TG Telegram game on the TON chain, you can receive tens of thousands of "$DOGS" by signing in for dozens of days. It is undoubtedly a carnival feast for those who play with multiple accounts and scripts.
Although many people were not optimistic about Wang Dayou's "$HODL" project at the beginning, it was a project that brought the editor the most benefits. I made a simple investment in the early stage and kept following it. I also called on group friends to participate. In the end, I got dozens of OG boxes. Calculated at 200U, the income is tens of thousands.
Of course, it is still very rare to find such projects now. Some are happy while others are worried. The highly anticipated ZKsync, LayerZero and Blast all officially held TGE in June. It was thought to be a feast for airdroppers, but it turned out to be the birth of the "largest anti-stakes in history" and the "largest Sybil database".
In general, if you want to get good returns from current crypto projects, you need to identify and seize opportunities. After all, the projects are complicated, and it takes skills to identify the project parties.
The recent projects give me a very obvious feeling that the current project owners have stretched the project airdrop battle line very long, using the points system, the witch mechanism, and the invitation system, trying every means to attract the largest amount of traffic at the lowest cost and let users roll in. I thought I finally made it, but when the airdrop finally came, I was given a 24-month linear unlocking. The capitalists' means were fully utilized.
It can be said that the era of "short, flat and fast" airdrops has officially come to an end. For ordinary users, the current way of making money requires a deeper level of research and analysis of projects, and investing limited funds and energy in projects with greater potential. Nowadays, the myth of getting rich quickly through airdrops is becoming increasingly rare.
1. Look at the project background. Generally, when you come across a new project, don’t just jump in and start working on it. You can use platforms such as RootData to learn about the financing background, whether it is a project of some awesome exchange, whether it has raised more than 10 million yuan, whether it has a well-known founder, etc. After all, nine out of ten projects are popular, and most people have real lives and jobs. Don’t spend all your energy on meaningless projects.
2. Look at the attention of the project. Usually, select more high-quality KOLs. When learning about a new project, see how many big names are following the official Twitter account of this project. If your own vision is not good, then learn from the powerful ones. I am not referring to the matrix KOLs who post all kinds of advertisements.
3. Look at the cost-effectiveness of the project. Look at the difficulty of daily interaction of this project. If a single number requires dozens of U of Gas, the risk is relatively high. For example, a project like DOGs that only takes one second to sign in every day and does not require any Gas has a very high cost-effectiveness. In addition, if the project party has endless PUA tasks that require a lot of time, just give up.
4. Check the project schedule. Check whether the current project is in the early stage. If the project has passed the welfare period, don’t do FOM. There are many projects on the chain, so there are always opportunities.
5. Check the project's competition level. Check whether the project is competitive or not. You can roughly judge whether it is competitive or not by the number of addresses. After all, the cake is limited. Although the project needs popularity, there will not be enough cake to share if there are too many people. Even if the popularity is high, the airdrop of 5u pork trotter rice per person is in vain.
In general, there are countless projects on the chain, and new projects may be born every day. The era of mindless airdrops is over, but Web3 still has opportunities.
However, the cost and threshold of this opportunity have become higher, requiring us to improve our project investment and research capabilities and our judgment abilities, and to use the lowest time and financial costs to gain greater returns. If the direction is right, we will arrive sooner or later.
