The airdrop mining method of the Web3 game project Portal has been very popular recently. This is a method of earning CrystalDash points by creating content about Portal on Twitter. The more widely the content created on Twitter is spread, the more points are earned in exchange for more airdrops. In just one month, the number of Portal's Twitter fans increased from 70,000 to 320,000 (+450%), which shows the popularity and level of attention and participation of this point airdrop gameplay among players. In this issue, I will briefly introduce how to play the points reward system, and recommend to you a selection of must-win point airdrop projects in 2024.

What is the Web3 points reward system?

In essence, the points reward system rewards users for completing specific operations through points. These points can be redeemed or used in various ways, aiming to stimulate further user participation and increase user loyalty to the project platform.

In fact, the underlying gameplay logic can be seen everywhere in the Web2 world, from online and offline game points used to redeem rewards, to point deductions and VIP loyalty programs for chain brands such as Starbucks and Vipshop. The main focus is a reverse incentive for users to "spend more, get more", and when introduced to the Web3 world, it is a cumulative reward of "the more you work, the more you get". Since the end of 2023, a number of point reward methods have emerged in the Web3 world, from Rainbow wallet to reward users for using ETH to earn points, to NFT market Blur's new L2 Blast plan, which encourages users to transfer funds through Blast Points, etc.

After the Web3 world introduced the point reward gameplay, it was combined with users' daily operations or rigid needs and then innovated to attract new users and new funds. For example, Portal can earn points by encouraging users to participate in the behavior of "retweeting and liking comments on relevant topics on Twitter". If you do it more often and the topic spreads widely, you can get more points, and finally redeem them for more points. Lots of airdrop rewards. From the user's personal perspective, this is an operation that can be performed daily by just browsing Twitter. The threshold requirements for user participation are low, and the operation requirements are also low. Moreover, points can be accumulated, and the more you do, the more you do. It is immediately visible to users. positive feedback behavior. When the personal behavior has formed a scale and has a spreading effect, the hot trend will attract more users to participate and try to earn points, and the previous tweets will get more spread, and the users who entered early will You will also gain more points passively. In this way, a spiral effect is formed. For leading players, the income of points can even be calculated as an explosive function. This is also the most attractive point - the more work, the more income there will be "unlimited" income.

In the future, naturally, after users successfully redeem airdrop tokens, the more users holding tokens, the greater the demand for exchange and circulation, and the overall market liquidity will be more secure. But more importantly, we still need to pay attention to the token economics, team strength, operational planning, etc. of the project itself. This is the prerequisite for participation in any airdrop. Only projects recognized by the market are valuable, and the airdrops of these projects are worth our time and cost to participate in and earn points. Then let me share with you the 2024 must-have airdrop projects selected in this issue.
