By accumulating 18 minutes daily, approximately 3-4 airdrops can be obtained in a 15-day cycle (conservatively estimated at 3.5). Considering that weekends and weekdays may not always have activity, the average per month is about 1.5 cycles. Each airdrop is valued at 40U, so the monthly income is 3.5×1.5×40=210U. After deducting gas or other costs of 100U, the net profit is roughly 110U. Occasionally, if caught in a squeeze, an additional 100U might be added to the cost.
Honestly, this profit margin is neither too fat nor too thin, just the rhythm that the platform wants. Based on transaction volume data, the current active users are around 230,000 (yesterday’s competition heat data being lower can serve as confirmation), and a silent tacit understanding has already formed between the platform and users.
Currently, there are four awkward aspects of the airdrop projects. First, there is basically no big bonus, with 80U being the ceiling. Second, it doesn’t happen every day; weekends are paused, and weekdays depend on luck. Third, months with poor returns relax standards to retain users. Fourth, when data looks good, a universal benefit mechanism is introduced to level the playing field.
As an ordinary participant, I appreciate these small rewards from the platform. This cooperative logic is still clear—at least the process is transparent, rules are open, and there are no sneaky tricks. Compared to some platforms that often secretly retaliate, the differences become apparent through comparison.

ngl the math here is pretty mid... 110u monthly is basically just covering your time, not really the network effects story we should be chasing imo

110U sounds pretty stable, but this frequency is really a bit off, and the weekend shutdown is really annoying.

The net profit of 110U, month after month... Isn't this just a carefully designed retention loophole? The platform's algorithm is quite ruthless, just hitting that point where you feel neither亏 nor upset.

A net monthly income of $110 is really not worth much; I still have to pray that the weekend doesn't let me down.

Earn $110 per month after gas fees, this pace is really tightly controlled, the platform is really good at accounting.

ngl the 110U monthly after gas is basically the network saying "we see you, but don't get too comfortable" — classic protocol economics at work. those 230k active users aren't there for the moonshot, they're just grinding consensus like nodes staking through bear markets. respect the transparency angle though, beats getting slashed by some sketchy mechanism nobody saw coming.

An average monthly net profit of 110U is pretty good, much more stable than some of the big players, but the ceiling of 80U feels a bit restrictive.

yo 110U monthly after gas? that's literally just platform's way of keeping us on the hamster wheel... the 23w active users stat hits different tho, means they've got the retention game figured out cold. ngl the "weekend blackout" mechanic reeks of intentional supply control but at least it's not backrunning our own txs like those shady protocols do
