For players who frequently participate in contract trading, there's a thought worth seriously considering: instead of sticking to centralized exchange contract markets, it's better to focus on on-chain perpetual contract platforms.

The most attractive aspect here is actually the airdrop mechanism. Many on-chain contract platforms, during their early user accumulation phase, distribute token rewards to active traders. I personally have claimed ASTER; at that time, I spent less than 5,000 USDT on a single address, and in the end, I was airdropped over 100,000 ASTER tokens. Such returns are simply impossible to achieve on centralized exchanges.

More importantly, many on-chain contract platforms have not issued tokens yet, leaving a lot of room for future airdrops. Emerging platforms like BERA, for example, are very likely to benefit early participants.

However, it is important to emphasize: this logic only applies to traders who already enjoy trading contracts. It is not recommended to specifically chase airdrops by engaging in contracts, as the risk-reward ratio does not support it. Since the ASTER airdrop, we haven't deliberately sought out on-chain contract airdrop opportunities anymore, and I didn't even participate in the second phase of the ASTER airdrop—that's the reason.
