Recently, Alpha has adjusted the rules again, The airdrop mechanism has clearly shifted from hand to hand speed to a more game oriented design. Currently, two new rules have been implemented: The first minute of collection requires 30 points, After each minute, the threshold decreases by 1 point, Reduce to a minimum of 10 points. From a design perspective, the starting point of this change is not difficult to understand. The main purpose is to: Prevent studios and robots from blindly competing in the first minute, At the same time, raise the participation threshold and turn airdrops into a game of judgment. But after experiencing two phases in practice, the problem gradually emerged. Those who rushed in in in the first minute were mostly cannon fodder. The actual income obtained from 30 points is mostly only over 50 US dollars, Both in terms of points cost and return on investment, there is a clear mismatch. At the current stage, my response is actually very clear: Instead of rushing early, it's better to focus on airdrops with higher market share, Wait until the points drop before participating, On the one hand, it reduces the integral loss, On the other hand, there is also time to assess the quality of the project and decide whether or not to proceed. Of course, this conclusion is not absolute either. If a big golden dog really runs out in this mode in the future, The money making effect is reactivated, The value of the game in the first minute may only be re priced. Besides, there is a more practical issue. Recently, Alpha airdrops no longer announce currencies in advance, At the same time, the pace of new coin launches has significantly slowed down, Even two consecutive "cold meals" were distributed. The more likely reason is that the market has cooled down temporarily, The project party's willingness to issue coins has decreased. For Alpha players, however, Once the number of projects decreases, The overall profit margin will inevitably shrink accordingly. Ultimately, Now brush Alpha, It is no longer the stage of striving hard, But it's starting to test patience and judgment.
