To reiterate, I am not FUD. The fundamentals of the Aster project are beyond doubt, and I have always been optimistic about it myself. I have also written about the logic behind my optimism about Aster before (link to article: https://(x.com)/Ice_Frog666666/status/1921420862307397793）。 But for someone like me who has been involved in on chain grooming for a long time, just from the perspective of airdrops, I am indeed concerned about the current pace. From the data on the chain, Aster's current transaction volume is approaching the "tipping point" of reverse dumping, which means that the time and cost invested by users are approaching the boundary of expected returns. If at this stage, there is still no clear TGE arrangement or expected airdrop rhythm from the official, I am very worried that in the end, the expectation will be too high and the airdrop debt will be too large to be fulfilled, leading to a backlash. In the past two years, the DEX track has risen rapidly, and Aster has a solid foundation in the Chinese community, coupled with the strategic support of CZ and Binance systems. Whether in terms of resources or cognition, it is the most likely product to truly compete with Hyperliquid. From the perspective of project operation, airdrop does not directly determine the success or failure of the product, but it will greatly affect the trust foundation, community user stickiness, and market reputation of the project. This can also be referenced from the airdrop situation of Hyperliquid. Therefore, I believe that if Aster wants to steadily move forward at the current pace, it is sincerely recommended to pay attention to airdrop expectation management at the current node, especially in the context of high community sentiment and on chain data. I also sincerely hope that Aster can have a perfect start and go higher and further!
