Looking at various stories of sudden wealth, I really didn't expect Movement to be a major project.
I completely missed the Movement airdrop, but looking back now, I probably still wouldn't participate.
I previously had a methodology for airdrop farming:
(1) No farming on testnets: Projects in the testnet phase often do not yield better returns than those that go live on the mainnet.
(2) No farming on complex tasks: A complex task system will reduce user engagement, and ultimately the airdrop is often unrelated to the tasks.
(3) No farming on non-top-tier projects: In a highly competitive field, projects that are not top-tier have relatively low potential value for their airdrops.
Here I will apply the previous methodology:
First of all, Movement is still in the testnet phase, and I still won't farm projects that haven't gone live on the mainnet. From historical projects, the chances of significant airdrops on testnets are too low; many projects choose to distribute tokens on a large scale only when they go live on the mainnet or closer to their official release.
Secondly, Movement has too many tasks, which feels very much like PUA-ing users. According to the principle of simplicity, Movement is clearly too complicated. Historically, which major public chain project has had very complicated airdrop rules?
In the end, Movement is not outstanding among the numerous public chains; the Move-based chains now include Sui and Aptos. Following the principle of only farming the top projects in the field, the probability of a third-tier project being significant is not high.
In summary, Movement belongs to the testnet + complex task system + non-top-tier projects. How should I approach this project?
But regardless, I still missed this wealth opportunity, indicating that my historical methods still have room for optimization.
Does this mean that my airdrop farming methodology needs adjustment? This airdrop from Movement should be an accident, and the probability of it occurring is not high.
Human time and energy are always limited. If I farm all kinds of projects, this broad net approach to airdrop farming is actually more trouble than it's worth.
The area I need to adjust is that, facing projects with such a luxurious investment background, I still need a certain level of sensitivity. It's important to participate; I can use a small amount of premium accounts to get involved.
At least this way, if there really is a major project in the end, I won't be slapping my thigh.
Airdrop farming also requires emotional value.
