Sei Airdrop Sparks Heated Discussion: Complex Rules and Broad Coverage

The Sei Airdrop has experienced several ups and downs, from being highly anticipated to being met with skepticism, and then sparking widespread discussion across the internet. Initially, due to its impressive financing scale and clear incentive plan for the testnet, it attracted a large number of users and bots. According to official data, the testnet once had tens of millions of data requests in a single day.

However, a series of subsequent actions by Sei's official team has sparked controversy. First, they required users to complete real-name authentication, which was strongly opposed by the community and later canceled; then they delayed in announcing the airdrop details, only releasing related information after the token was listed for trading, which has left the community feeling dissatisfied.

The airdrop rules ultimately involve two types of user groups: users participating in the incentive testnet and active users of the six major public chains. For testnet participants, the airdrop quantity is generally low; even users who complete all tasks only receive about 60 SEI tokens. This result has disappointed many testnet users.

In contrast, the airdrops aimed at active users of the six major public chains like Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum are more generous. Eligible users can receive varying amounts of tokens by cross-chain to the Sei network, with a maximum of 13,000 SEI. This differentiated airdrop strategy has sparked widespread discussion.

Although the community's expectations for Sei initially declined, the approach of a large-scale Airdrop unexpectedly received positive feedback. It not only attracted attention from all over the internet but also balanced the interests of various parties to some extent. While testnet participants felt somewhat disappointed, they also had the opportunity to receive more Airdrops through other channels; meanwhile, users who were previously unfamiliar with Sei unexpectedly received "Airdrop red envelopes".

From the perspective of the project team, this airdrop strategy achieves multiple goals: it generates a huge promotional effect, attracts a large amount of asset transfers to the Sei network, and lays the foundation for future ecological development. However, there are also concerns that this approach may involve issues of information asymmetry.

Overall, Sei's airdrop, although controversial, has indeed sparked widespread discussion across the internet, bringing extensive attention to the project. As the airdrop activities continue, related discussions are also heating up.
