#代币空投 Yiyi's words remind me of the ICO frenzy in 2017. Back then, we were all chasing airdrops and candies, holding full warehouses of tokens, with every project claiming to change the world. Looking back now, those "eggs" were essentially free tokens from that era—low threshold, low risk, accessible to everyone.



The problem is, times change, and so does the value of "eggs." The airdrops in 2017 helped early participants accumulate wealth but also led to countless projects going to zero. During the golden age of DeFi airdrops in 2021, Uniswap and other airdrops indeed changed some people's destinies. By 2024, when Binance Alpha becomes the new "egg," the question isn't whether you can claim it, but whether the mechanism design this time can truly filter out valuable projects and users.

Yiyi emphasizes the logic of "helping others," which is quite interesting. This time, it's not purely cold-start incentives but rather resource tilt toward contributors with community impact. Historically, this approach is indeed more likely to incubate a healthy ecosystem than indiscriminate airdrops. But we must also be cautious—every era claims its mechanism is the fairest. In the end, big players remain big players, and information asymmetry always exists.

The real test is still ahead. It depends on whether Alpha can ultimately incubate projects like Uniswap did back then, rather than becoming just another guise for a new round of "cutting leeks." History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.
