Emerging Layer 2 networks and DeFi protocols often face an awkward dilemma— to gain exchange listing approval, they need to demonstrate real user activity and on-chain interaction data. However, without the liquidity support and token incentive expectations prior to listing, these projects often struggle to attract enough active users. This cold start deadlock is being broken by emerging "撸毛" service teams. Their approach is simple: use an efficient "Growth as a Service" model to build a bridge between projects and real users— through a systematic task incentive system, quickly accumulate an initial user base for new protocols, make the data look good, and then promote the listing process. This model not only solves the cold start problem for projects but also creates new opportunities for participants.

Ah, so this is the trick. A beautified version of data fabrication, politely called growth services.

Isn't this just data manipulation under a different guise? You still need genuine users to trade on the exchange.

well, *actually* this whole "growth as a service" thing is just incentivized airdrop farming with extra steps... you're basically paying for vanity metrics that exchanges see through anyway. the data ain't real, ser.

Selling data to scam for a listing, this trick has been around for a long time, but now it's just called "Growth as a Service."

The so-called "profit-sharing" service is essentially mutual exploitation. Project teams want data, and profit-sharing enthusiasts want returns. It may seem like a win-win, but in reality, both are just betting on whether they can survive until the exchange.

Uh, it's just data falsification under a different disguise. No matter how good the hype, it's still the same old story.
