Don't remind me again today

The "game rules" of the Airdrop have changed. The reason you can't earn is here.

There is something that Web3 players have started to notice this past week:

The once easy mode of “Get rewards by tapping” will never come again.

Why? Because the two-stage specification change of the airdrop completely invalidated the old strategies of amateur players.


“Two Fatal Flaws in Rule Changes”

The two main changes observed from the actual operational data are:

1. Significant increase in score acquisition threshold

  • Previous: Passing score was 200 to 220 points
  • Now: At least 240 points required

In other words, the “low-cost & short-time reward hunting” has come to an end. For regular users, the time and effort required has become more than twice as much.

2. Score Damping Mechanism Officially Introduced

Key point: The countdown starts not when you “receive” it, but from the moment the airdrop “starts”.

Automatically decreases by 5 points every 5 minutes.

If you are 1 hour late, you lose 30 points. In other words, “being late = losing opportunities.”


Actual Impact: “Effort Value Doubled, Rewards Halved” Era

What this change means:

✗ Everyone participation type → ✓ Few elite type

✗ Earning while sleeping → ✓ Full-time level management is essential

Specifically:

  • 70% of players drop out within a week
  • 50% lose rewards due to the decay rule
  • 30% are exhausted and voluntarily exit
  • Only the remaining 3-5% will receive the real large rewards

In other words: For general users who do not have time to spare, airdrops have ceased to be a “winnable game”.


“New Strategy” Chosen by Smart Players

What is happening in part of the market is the shift of the battlefield.

From “short-term score earning” to “position building.”

  • Airdrop: One-time reward
  • Accumulation and aggregation of virtual assets: Asset growth beyond cycles

The former is like “this month's allowance,” while the latter is like “doubling next year's assets.”


Why “Position Building” is More Effective

Simple reason:

The fluctuating market is the greatest opportunity.

When the volatility (price movement) is high, steadily accumulating assets will result in the impact being amplified several times when the real bull market arrives.

Players who earned $5,000 a year from airdrops and,

The player who had been “position changing thick” all this time,

The world we will greet in the next bull run is incomparable.


What is Required in the “Post-Airdrop Era”

Strengthening airdrop rules is a signal indicated by the market:

The era of short-term “quick money making” has ended, and the era of strategic “asset building” has begun.

Qualities to possess:

  • Sustainability: Can it last long?
  • Efficiency: Do not waste energy.
  • Cycle Adaptability: Can you ride the waves of the market?

Conclusion

The change in airdrop specifications is not bad news. Rather, it is a sign of market maturation.

The illusion that “anyone can earn money” has been stripped away, and instead, “the real strategies for those who truly want to increase their assets” are now in demand.

There are two choices for scattered players:

  1. Clinging to old rules and becoming even more exhausted.
  2. Switch the strategy and solidify the foundation before the bull run.

Smart players are already choosing number 2.
