Why Do I Love projects like Major, Catizen, Not Pixel?
Because they have never lied to you. The main condition for their airdrop is DONATION. Major has been selling stars and conducting TON transactions since day one. Catizen has had a shop since day one. They never hides this; they are clear about their goals and the criteria for their good airdrops.
What’s the problem if a project introduces donations just before listing and makes it a key condition for the airdrop?
There are two possibilities. If only a few players donate, they will reward those players with a good airdrop and tell the others, "You haven’t supported our project; you deserve dust." For example, CATS.
If many players donate, they might scam you and not even return your donated amount. For example, Rocky Rabbit.
If a mini app requires a lot of promotion, it indicates a lack of quality, and they know that players will not advocate for them, so they massively promote their project through various mini apps. If a project runs a lot of promotion in their app, it suggests they lack responsibility and sufficient funding.
Consider projects like DOGS, Major, and Catizen as examples—they do not feel the need for excessive promotion because they have a good, transparent team and strong partnerships, leading players to speak positively about these projects. They also do not run much advertisements because they have the funds to provide good airdrops. So far, Not Pixel has not promoted a single game nor advertised their project in other games.
Why would anyone donate to trash projects that lack transparency and have poor teams? I donate daily to Major, Catizen, Bombie, X Empire, Not Pixel—all of these projects have good teams with substantial funds, and I believe they will return more than what I donated.
Donate to quality projects, not just any random trash.
