According to reports, Flop Labs’ Devnet will soon be open to everyone. Anyone can participate as a miner or validator, or connect through a proxy. They’ve also made it clear that participation won’t count toward token allocation; the project will move on to the Testnet and airdrop phases later. This is an interesting point: the team has completely separated “public testing” from “allocation eligibility,” essentially telling the market, “Don’t rush to farm points for an airdrop.” To some extent, this could filter out participants who are only there to grab free tokens and make early network stress testing more realistic. In my view, if more new projects adopt this approach, “airdrop farming” may gradually become a thing of the past, with higher participation thresholds and greater demands on people’s patience. But there are still plenty of uncertainties: how the Devnet, Testnet, and airdrop phases will fit together, whether the rules will change, and how long the process will take are all still unclear. The relationship between the time and effort ordinary participants put in and the actual returns remains hazy.

Turning to the broader market, as of 16:00, total crypto market capitalization stood at 2.67 trillion, down 3.1% over 24 hours, with sentiment on the weak side. In this environment, news about a new ecosystem can easily get drowned out, making it difficult to generate sustained interest right away. Take $LTC , for example: it’s currently at 56.28, already below the daily MA7 at 58.49 and MA25 at 62.43. It’s also down 22.5% over the past 30 days, and the daily RSI14 is just 36, indicating weak short- and medium-term momentum. At a stage like this, the market tends to react more cautiously to new narratives rather than immediately chase a rally.

In my view, this is not investment advice, and I could be wrong because I may be underestimating the appeal of the airdrop itself. Even without allocation eligibility, the prospect of being among the first to experience a new network could still attract plenty of participants.
