I heard that a certain project recently launched a new feature. I took a quick look and found a new way to earn XP through daily check-ins. In fact, there are quite a few free XP opportunities inside, as long as you're willing to spend time hanging around.

XP is probably closely related to future airdrops. But whether you can actually make a profit from it depends on the project's true potential. If it's just a scam to cut leeks, people will finish and run early; if the project is genuine, the XP accumulated early on might be exchanged for a decent airdrop.

As for the part where you can spend money to speed things up, my advice is to do so within your means. The overall return rate of current airdrops is really low, relying mostly on cold, hard probabilities. Instead of throwing money to gamble on anti-revenue, it's better to honestly do daily tasks—you're neither losing nor falling behind.

It's the airdrop dream again, the zero-cost dream again. Wake up, everyone.

It's the same trick again—sign in and leave it running to earn XP. Honestly, it's just gambling on projects, not air coins.

Another XP game, I've seen this routine too many times before. Spend time, not money. Anyway, I'm just wasting time.

Here comes the old trick of harvesting new investors, always using these sign-in methods. How much is XP really worth? In the end, it all depends on the project team's integrity. Keep up with daily efforts; it doesn't cost anything anyway. Just gamble on the probability. There are so many projects like this now, but how many can actually get listed on exchanges? No matter how much XP you accumulate early on, if the project fails, it's all for nothing.

I've seen similar XP mechanisms... When calculating the probability distribution, the average return rate is roughly between 0.3% and 0.8%, depending on the project's actual TVL. Once the threshold is triggered, the airdrop rules can be changed at will; I've seen it too many times. It still depends on how the smart contract code is written. Free tasks are the safest; spending money to accelerate is all about gambling on psychological expectations. If the risk control mechanism is not well implemented, liquidation risks can skyrocket at any moment. I estimate that in this round of the airdrop cycle, projects with high collateralization ratios should be cautious. Just do the tasks without overthinking, don't try to overtake on curves. The higher the leverage, the easier it is to encounter problems.

tbh the opportunity cost of grinding daily tasks for potential airdrop crumbs is what gets me... like sure, zero capex feels good but your time has a basis point value too, no? seen too many thesis validations turn into rug mechanics to trust the "real vision" narrative anymore. stick with the passive accumulation angle tho, at least the downside is capped.

It's another XP system full of tricks. I knew it—nine and a half out of ten projects are just here to harvest the little guys. As expected, it all depends on whether the project itself has real substance; otherwise, no matter how diligent you are with sign-ins, it's all pointless. Instead of throwing money into gambling against the system, I might as well just stay honest and keep hanging around—it's not like I have anything better to do. These kinds of airdrops usually don't make much money; it's just a matter of luck. But accumulating early on can't hurt, right? Maybe one day I'll hit the jackpot.
