Airdrop New King: MET MET may be considered a great airdrop gift for 2025. But based on the impressions on the Twitter timeline in the past two days, it seems that the English section has achieved a lot; Relatively few were obtained in the Chinese section, and some even said they were rejected. It may also be that Chinese experts are too low-key (such as high achieving students who may have earned a few or even more than ten million). Regarding the topic of airdrops, let MET talk a few more words. one ️⃣ Airdrop Minimalist Evolution History From the early days of 'vacuum casting', such as UNI, where every user would receive a big prize from the sky; Next, at ENS, there is a very low threshold to receive big prizes (registration+additional rewards based on years of experience); Afterwards, a group of L2 will set hard thresholds based on various indicators (first contributing to the project, whether it is data or gas costs); At MET, although the token distribution rules were officially announced two years ago, launching an airdrop is a hellish difficulty for ordinary users. You need to save money (TVL points), but most importantly, you need to earn transaction fees as an LP. This process: 1. MEME coin LP needs to ensure that they do not suffer from RUG (loss of money) 2. Big Coin LP needs to ensure victory over IL with unpredictable losses Compared to using small hands to brush TX and DeFi projects and deposit funds in the past, the difficulty has increased by more than an order of magnitude. You need to learn to be a qualified LPer, not an airdrop farmer. two ️⃣ Inertial thinking If Monad's anti bullying behavior is a matter of mutual outrage, then watching the English section's MET airdrop listing is truly heart wrenching. Perhaps everyone is still accustomed to the "brainless" airdrop methods such as public blockchains and test websites, and has not been able to recover as soon as possible. Under the premise of high-tech support in the studio, how do you, as the Monad project team, send airdrops to 300 million test network addresses? Note that I'm not saying it shouldn't be posted, but rather how the project team should weigh it. Even if the sun shines brightly, how much will be left in your hands in the end? We always think that we can 'eat the whole sky with one trick', but what you don't realize is that the dividend period is always short. The public chain's' big coin 'airdrop can last for two years, which is already a miracle. The biggest mistake is that you came too late, the car has already driven away, and you are still chasing after it relentlessly from behind; Or it could be: when the car is still there, you just procrastinate and don't want to get on as soon as possible. three ️⃣ huddle together Meteora and Jupiter are closely related. Referring to the "huge success" of JUP airdrops, it should have been predictable almost a year ago, and MET would not be very bad either. But strangely, foreigners in the English speaking area engage in various graphic and textual output, video teaching, community communication, and even offline activities. The Chinese section is unusually quiet. High threshold to discourage? But in front of LP, all beings are equal. Foreigners are so poor at math, how can they still learn difficult operations like DLMM/DAMM? In terms of mental arithmetic ability alone, don't we all criticize them individually? In theory, sharing airdrop strategies is really a way to dilute one's market share, but I am a bit puzzled why foreigners seem to have no concerns and crazily share various LP market making strategies. Perhaps it is truly a love to defeat all kinds of tricks and tricks? I can only understand it this way, after all, many of the things I wrote before were purely out of passion. four ️⃣ The Future of Airdrops As a product of a specific historical period, 'airdrop' is likely to have completed its historical mission. From simply rewarding users and distributing tokens; Initiate user initiated farming projects, jointly build and create win-win outcomes; Start farming users at the project site. Thus, a complete cycle has been completed. Under the sickle, not a single blade of grass grows on the chives. I am not pessimistic about the industry, nor am I pessimistic about making money from it (although the difficulty has suddenly increased), but I have a big question mark about "airdrop wealth". The above.
