The opportunities missed in the last cycle do not mean they will always be missed.
Old players must still remember the crazy moments of the "controller" NFT during last year's ecological boom—at one point, it was hyped up to 200 USDT each. What happened later? The hot money faded away, the market cooled down, and the price plummeted to a point where almost no one wanted it. A project that raised 46 million just went silent like that?
But many people here fail to see a detail: the project hasn't really come to a standstill; it has simply shifted its focus from speculation to "real users and ecosystem operations." This transition seems low-key, but it actually changes the rules of the game.
**Is it still worth participating now?**
From a logical perspective, several signals:
There is a complete product form running, not just an empty shell. Previously, user incentives were provided through NFTs, indicating that the team knows how to allocate benefits. A batch of real users and asset foundation has been accumulated historically. The current focus has shifted to "behavior recording and interaction sedimentation", which is doing more solid work. Although it can't be said to be certain, the logical chain is still there.
**If you want to participate, what should you do?**
**The first principle: Don't be a "bystander"**
After linking the wallet, actually complete 1 to 2 core operations. It's not just a formality, but a practical usage path. What the project team cares about the most is whether you are a real user or a script bot. This is the most critical point.
**Second Principle: Asset Actions Take Precedence Over Other Tasks**
Since historical incentives revolve around asset forms, let's now focus on operations directly related to NFTs or assets — creation, holding, and transfer, which are valued for their frequency and sustainability. In contrast, social check-in tasks seem less important.
**Third Principle: Less is Better than a One-Time Rush**
Many people ultimately fail with airdrops, and the reason is actually quite simple: their operating style is too much like that of an "airdrop hunter." A smarter approach is to spread the operations over a few days, occasionally returning to engage, while maintaining an active but not unusual state of the wallet.
**Never do these few things**
Crazy opening of multiple accounts, using heavy assets for all-in bets, only doing sign-in type tasks. These types of projects are essentially filtering users who have long-term ecological stickiness, and do not care about short-term profit seekers.
**A Sentence to End**
The handle dropped from a glossy 200U to almost being ignored, which does not mean the entire project is bleeding; it only indicates that market sentiment has changed too quickly. The validation of real value often takes longer.
