The popularity of the airdrop event on a certain leading platform has clearly declined recently, with the number of participants dropping from over 300,000 to 230,000, a decrease of more than 70,000. Based on the recent projects over the past few days, the situation is indeed not very optimistic.

The day before yesterday, the $ESIM project had a threshold of 257 points, and it was fully claimed within 30 seconds; yesterday, $BREV started at 245 points, with 57,000 units instantly sold out in less than 20 seconds. The most heartbreaking was yesterday's $ZTC TGE, which was oversubscribed by 2,500 times, with 46,000 participants and an average cost of $30 each. I initially thought that with such low selling pressure, the price should rise, but now it has fallen to only $17😂.

This difficulty level is obviously increasing. If the number of participants remains at 300,000, it’s basically reverse arbitrage. To truly maintain the value of participation, it seems it needs to drop below 200,000. Otherwise, there’s not much to do.

BREV-6,08%

ZTC-9,27%

No quota in 30 seconds, this isn't mining, it's snatching mining. The threshold is getting higher and higher, I really can't keep up.

ZTC that’s really amazing, invested 30u and now it’s 17u, I feel sorry for you about the price difference 😂 The number of people continuously dropping is actually a good thing? That logic is a bit crazy. Instantly finished, instantly finished, it’s always instantly finished. I don’t even look at the limits anymore.

The instant liquidation limit has become the norm, and the sharp decline in participation really makes it not worth it. Too many people actually lead to losses; is it only worth it when it drops to 200,000? That logic is a bit extreme. This round of ZTC directly taught me a lesson—have you experienced turning 30u into 17u? Without high-yield projects supporting the scene, how can the airdrop hype stay hot? You still need to find those with real value; otherwise, you're just gambling with luck.

just like mile 20 in a marathon, these allocation droughts feel brutal... but tbh the real accumulation phase starts when participation drops below 15k. zoom out and the fundamentals haven't changed

Unable to reach the quota, and then hit with a 2500x oversubscription dump—this kind of trading really can't be done anymore.

Oh no, it's the same old trick again. Airdrops are really getting harder and harder.
