âListen up. I've been seeing it, and you've probably felt it too: the airdrop circle is dramatically reshuffling its decks. The old guard is crumblingâstudios are dissolving, and those relying purely on Alpha are clinging on by a thread.
âBut let me be clear: this isn't a death knell. It's the beginning of a necessary re-layering.
âThe airdrop track hasn't disappeared; it's just graduated from "casual clicking" to "deep participation." The days of easy batch interaction are over. Now, itâs a pure game of patience, strategic execution, and surgical time management.
âThis year proved the concept with wins from major players like Sign, Newton, and Sahara. As long as chains are launching and money is being raised, the opportunity to profit remains. It simply means our approach has to mature.
âMy Simple, Iron-Clad Principle
âGaining tokens is always a high-stakes gamble with the project teams. Only those with a steady mindset are built for the long haul. My personal playbook is incredibly straightforward:
âZero Cost? I go all in. No-brainer.
âDeposit Required? I spread it out in small, manageable amounts.
âLimited Energy? I dedicate my focus to deeply engaging with a maximum of 2-3 main accounts.
âThe "No Projects" Fallacy
âIf you're currently thinking, "there are no projects to engage with," you're looking in the wrong place. This is your sign to stop chasing ghosts and start nurturing your foundations: Twitter, DC, and Wallets. These are the non-negotiable thresholds for all future tasks.
âProjects are looking for "real users" and "contributing individuals," not a farm of dozens of zombie accounts. Don't fall for the trap of starting with hundreds of accounts or expensive hardware right out of the gate.
âFor personal engagement, 3-5 accounts is more than sufficient.
âIf you're launching a full-scale studio, that's a different conversation entirely.
âThe Grinding Reality
âYeah, Monad and Camp hit me this year, too. It happens. But honestly? My overall returns still significantly outperformed my physical store business. That simple fact is why I keep drilling deeper into this space.
âIf youâre considering this as your main hustle, you need to be stone-cold clear on the reality: Boring, slow, tiring, counterproductive, and an unknown payoff are all perfectly normal parts of the job.
âThe key? Those who persist are never many.
âThe gains may have shrunk, but the opportunity is still there. You just have to learn the new rhythm of the track.
