Year's first airdrop hit around $3,200—honestly solid for ranking somewhere in the 25th position. Wasn't anticipating much given the allocation remained a mystery until claiming went live, plus the project only kicked off with a ~400M FDV despite getting some high-profile attention. That said, the upside surprised me a bit. The initial valuation was pretty conservative; if it had launched closer to the 2B range early projects typically see, the payout picture would've looked dramatically different. Either way, shows how timing and FDV expectations shape airdrop outcomes in this market.

Just 3200 yuan is quite satisfying. Being ranked 25 and still able to do this? Underestimating the power of the project.

$3,200 for 25th place? Honestly, not bad. The only issue is that the FDV is too low; if it had opened at $2B, it would have doubled already.

ngl the fdv math here is wild—imagine if they'd gone 2b at launch, we'd be talking about totally different numbers. timing really is everything in this space, not gonna lie.

$3,200 for 25th place, not bad at all these days.

3200 yuan for 25 positions, honestly, it's acceptable. But you see, this is a microcosm of that cycle — the initial FDV was suppressed low, leaving room for imagination later. Unlike those bubble projects in history, this indicates that market sentiment has finally learned to "control desire." It's just... if we really start from a 2B valuation, we'll have to rehash that old story again, just a survival bias.

$3,200 for a 25% stake is also fine, but the FDV is too conservative. Early projects all aim for 2B, and this one at only 400M is indeed a loss.

Wow, 3200 and you're already breaking even? That's some good luck!

Can you still get 3,200 with a 25% payout? These days, there aren't many trustworthy projects.
