Refutation to Kaito founder Yuhu's article: Airdrop distribution is not a technical issue, but a power structure issue Yes, I have some different perspectives. In my opinion, the allocation issue of airdrops is fundamentally never a technical problem, but a power structure issue. All the more sophisticated and complex distribution logic is just a technological upgrade of the old order. @Punk9277 believes that with the help of data platforms, airdrops can be distributed to "more suitable people" in a "smarter" way. The question is, what is a suitable person? Who will define it? Who is setting this standard? As long as the control is still in the hands of the platform, those seemingly more fair algorithms have only changed the executor of power, from the project party to the black box of the data platform, which is actually more opaque. Ultimately, airdrop is a multi-party game model. No matter how the rules change, the game structure remains unchanged, and the new distribution logic is destined to be fitted by new arbitrageurs. No matter how complex the algorithm is or how high the threshold is, it is essentially just screening 'who understands this mechanism better and who is more loyal to users' rather than' who is truly loyal '. Yuhu's article also proposes a core point: "Data driven ICOs are better at screening out true believers than airdrops because they are willing to bear the cost. ” In my opinion, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of faith and capital. Willing to bear the cost only means that you are willing to gamble, not that you truly agree with the project. Web3 is driven by speculative momentum. Cost is just a factor in odds, and has nothing to do with faith. In fact, the true value of a well executed airdrop lies in the positive consensus it triggers in the community or a sense of belonging. These intangible underlying forces are the fundamental support for a project to go far. The success of Bitcoin has long proven that industry consensus outweighs technology. Once you start using algorithmic mechanisms to "filter" high-quality/low-quality users, it is actually a default that power should be centralized, centralized, and defined by a small group of people. So this is not Web3, it's just a continuation of Web2's centralized platform control logic.
