It’s both amusing and frustrating how much effort I put into minting Hamster Kombat tokens, only to receive a return that doesn’t reflect the effort or investment. Hamster Kombat calls its users “CEOs,” but in reality, the so-called CEO title is practically meaningless when your holdings amount to about $5. This is a valuable lesson for everyone—always research and explore thoroughly before diving into an airdrop on a mini app.
To avoid frustration, I recommend following a model like $DOGS, which provides real value to participants by minting actual tokens rather than points. This approach offers transparency and fairness, as users know exactly what they are receiving in terms of tradable assets. By fixing the total supply and distributing tokens based on user activity, projects can ensure users are properly informed and compensated.
The Hamster Kombat airdrop left many feeling misled and disheartened. Hopefully, developers and token projects will adopt a more transparent and user-centric approach, similar to $DOGS, to reduce disappointment and enhance user experience.
