Transferring last year's ledger, at that time a major exchange launched the Adventure Island event, and a single reward of 719U was indeed attractive. How enticing was the NXPC token exchange rate back then? 1 share of NXPC could be exchanged for 3 shares of XPL, and 1 share of NXPC could also be exchanged for 24 airdrops at that time. The threshold of 187 points could directly claim rewards, and thinking about it now, it’s quite outrageous.

The most memorable reform to me was when Alpha first implemented the deduction system; the first airdrop was only 30U, and the community was in an uproar, all shouting for resignation. It was probably putting pressure on upper management, so they quickly launched this big Adventure Island event to stabilize morale.

Now? The daily airdrop value is decreasing day by day. Whether it’s 30U or 20U, the number of participants has been stuck between 200,000 and 250,000. Everyone is holding on tight, neither wanting to leave nor able to leave, just gritting their teeth and persisting. The market has changed, user enthusiasm is waning, but the ecosystem’s stickiness still exists—how long this delicate balance can last, no one knows. Brothers, let’s hold on together.
