The threshold for airdrops is getting higher and higher. Completing tasks, climbing rankings, increasing volume... working hard all day to receive rewards, only to get worthless tokens. Sometimes I feel that the effort spent on this is even more exhausting than working, yet the returns are worlds apart.

However, recently a project has caught my attention. Its style is unique and completely different from the usual pattern of throwing tokens and boosting data. Whether such projects can break the norm and attract users with a differentiated approach instead of falling into the endless cycle of bombarding airdrops—that's the real point to watch. The Web3 ecosystem needs innovative mechanisms, not mindless repetitive incentive models.

Having completed tasks for half a month, the tokens I finally received have dropped more than my investment return. Really, these projects only know how to pile up data, none of them think about user experience. Waiting to see that new project, but I bet five bucks it's the same old trick. Airdrops have been everywhere for a long time, no novelty. Curious about how that "different" project is actually differentiated, don’t tell me it’s another new way to scam retail investors. Spending energy to farm tokens is not as good as just lying around earning interest. When will this ecosystem produce some real stuff instead of all marketing gimmicks? Honestly, it’s still about chasing popularity—whoever’s hot, farms their tokens—too exhausting. I just want to ask, is there really a project that can break out of this cycle?

ngl, been there... spent weeks optimizing routing paths for airdrops only to see liquidity fragment across dead chains. the tvl migration patterns on most of these projects are actually sus af if you look at the contract mechanics closely.

The bottom line has been reached, airdrops are increasingly resembling pyramid schemes and task lists. Completing tasks is not as good as mining, at least you get what you pay for. That set of differentiation has been heard for three years, and it's still the same group harvesting newcomers. The key is whether it can truly hold up until launch without crashing the market. The Web3 ecosystem is not short of tricks, what’s missing is something worth taking. Mechanism innovation? Stop bragging first, get the links right before talking. Airdrop fatigue has set in, it feels like all projects are just acting. If any project truly breaks the routine, I’ll be the first to support it.

Airdrop tasks are more and more intense; working hard all day still results in worthless coins. I'm really fed up. Wait, is that new project really different? Or are they just changing tactics to scam again? Finally, someone dares to say this: innovative mechanisms vs mindless bombardment, this is the core.

If only this project could be truly unique, working tirelessly on tasks just to earn a few thousand worthless coins, it's better to watch two hours of Bilibili.
