In some incentive activities of blockchain projects, it is common for participants to invest large amounts of funds. However, the rationality of this behavior is worth discussing. Taking a specific project as an example, its prize pool totals 8 million, but the maximum individual reward is limited to 2000 tokens. Even in an ideal situation, assuming the project reaches a volume of 1 billion, proportionally, one can at most receive a reward of 6400 tokens. This is obviously disproportionate compared to the invested funds.

Considering that the event clearly stipulates a maximum reward cap of 2000 tokens, equivalent to over 100 dollars, it seems difficult to understand the investment of up to 800,000 funds. Even taking into account the possible rebate mechanism, this method of participation could still lead to significant losses from an economic perspective.

This phenomenon has raised a series of questions: Do participants fully understand the rules of the activity? Are their decisions based on rational analysis or influenced by other factors? Did the project team fully consider the interests of participants when designing such activities?

As an investor or project participant, it is essential to carefully assess the activity rules, potential returns, and associated risks before deciding to invest funds. At the same time, project parties should also design more reasonable and transparent incentive mechanisms to ensure that participants can obtain returns that match their investment.
