Recently, the airdrop mining gameplay of the Web3 game project Portal has been very popular. This is a way to earn CrystalDash points by creating content about Portal on Twitter. The more widely the content created on Twitter is spread, the more points can be earned, which can then be exchanged for more airdrops. In just one month, the number of Portal's Twitter followers has increased from 70,000 to 320,000 (+450%), indicating the popularity and attention of this points airdrop gameplay among players. In this issue, we will briefly introduce the gameplay of the points reward system and recommend selected points airdrop projects for 2024.

What is the Web3 points reward system?

Essentially, the points reward system rewards users for completing specific actions with points, which can be exchanged or used in various ways, aiming to stimulate further user participation and increase user loyalty to the project platform.

In fact, the underlying gameplay logic is ubiquitous in the Web2 world, from online and offline game points used to redeem rewards, to loyalty programs for chain brands such as Starbucks and Vipshop. The main idea is a reverse incentive for users to "earn more by consuming more," and when introduced into the Web3 world, it becomes an accumulation reward for "earning more by working more." Since the end of 2023, a batch of points reward gameplay has emerged in the Web3 world, from the Rainbow wallet rewarding users for using ETH to earn points, to the new L2 Blast plan in the NFT market Blur, which incentivizes users to transfer funds through Blast Points.

Why is the Web3 points reward gameplay so popular?

After the introduction of the points reward gameplay in the Web3 world, it combines with users' daily operations or rigid needs to create innovations, attracting new users and new capital. For example, Portal encourages users to participate in "commenting, retweeting, and liking content related to topics on Twitter" to earn points rewards. The more times this action is done and the wider the topic spreads, the more points can be earned, and ultimately more airdrop rewards can be exchanged. From the user's perspective, this is an operation that can be done by simply browsing Twitter daily, with low entry and operational requirements, and points can accumulate with more actions, providing immediate visible positive feedback for users. When this individual behavior has formed a certain scale and has a spreading effect, the hot trend will attract more users to participate in earning points, and the earlier participants will passively earn more points as the previous tweets gain more exposure. In this way, a spiral effect is formed, and for top players, the earnings from points can even be modeled as an explosive function with "unlimited" returns, which is the most attractive point - the "unlimited" returns for "earning more by working more."

In the future, when users successfully exchange the airdrop tokens, the more users hold the tokens, the more demand there will be for exchange and circulation, providing more liquidity to the overall market. However, it is more important to pay attention to the token economics, team strength, and operational planning of the project itself. This is the prerequisite for participating in any airdrop. Only projects recognized by the market are valuable, and it is worth our time and effort to participate in earning points for these projects. Next, we will share with you the selected must-join airdrop projects for 2024.

The points acquisition strategy for the third season mainly consists of two parts:

• Holder Points Plan: Deposit BLUR tokens to earn holder points, which can be withdrawn at any time. When Blast governance goes live in May 2024, rewards will be distributed based on the user's total holder points (holder points x multiplier). Users can earn 1 point per BLUR token held per hour. In addition, the multiplier starts at 1x and increases by 0.5x after the user makes the first deposit, and then increases monthly.

• Blur Points Plan: Earn points through bidding, listing, and lending. Bidding and listing points apply to all collections and are issued at the same rate. Bidding with the highest "risk" can earn the majority of points. Lending points only apply to collections supported by the Blend protocol. The issuance rate of lending points is half that of bidding and listing points.

3. Blast
