Recently, I've come across a bunch of "social mining" and "points-based identity" schemes, basically using your time as fuel, exchanging it for a badge + possible airdrop fantasies. I used to be competitive and headstrong too, signing in daily, reposting, commenting to boost my presence. But after reviewing it: the quality of transactions hasn't improved, and the on-chain records are more like a work ID...

Now I have a strict standard: the points system should either directly translate into clear rights (fees, limits, governance rights), or just be for entertainment—don't hollow out your main business. Isn't that similar to the collapse points of chain games? Inflation kicks in, studios enter the scene, token prices spiral, and in the end, all that's left are screenshots of "diligence." Anyway, I’d rather spend time refining routing and slippage details; at least the results are more controllable.
