Accumulating 18 points daily, a 15-day cycle can net approximately 3-4 airdrops (conservatively calculated at 3.5). Considering weekends and weekdays don't always have activity, the monthly average works out to about 1.5 cycles. With an average unit airdrop value of 40U, monthly income comes to 3.5×1.5×40=210U. Deducting gas and other costs of 100U, net profit is roughly 110U. The occasional sandwich attacks would add another 100U in costs.

Honestly, this profit margin is neither fat nor lean—it's exactly the pace the platform wants. Reverse-engineering from trading volume data, there are currently around 230,000 active users (yesterday's competition heat data confirms the lower activity). An unspoken consensus has formed between the platform and users.

The airdrop projects currently do have four somewhat awkward issues. First, there are basically no major airdrops—80U is the ceiling. Second, they don't come daily; weekends are dormant and weekday luck is a gamble. Third, in months with poor returns, they loosen standards to retain users. Fourth, when data looks good, they roll out universal distribution mechanisms to level the playing field.

As an ordinary participant, I appreciate these small returns from the platform. This collaboration logic is clear—at least the process is transparent, rules are public, and there's no sneaky underhanded manipulation. Compared to certain platforms that frequently conduct covert counterattacks, you can really see the difference when you make comparisons.
