CyberConnect sent out an airdrop, and I received 45 CYBER, which is a small reward for my CC interaction some time ago.
On August 15, CBYER was launched on BN with an online price of US$1.44. It once rose to US$17.9 and the current price is US$4.9.
When CyberConnect announced the airdrop at the beginning of the month, there was a lot of discussion on Twitter, predicting that the price of CBYER might stabilize at $10; it now appears that the prediction is inaccurate, which on the one hand confirms the poor market trading sentiment, and on the other hand also confirms many people’s prediction that CyberConnect is not a big deal.
Judging from the CyberConnect airdrop announcement on August 4, holding CC blind box airdrops has the highest weight, followed by fragments and mini fragments, W3ST medals. In addition, holding CyberProfile early adopter NFTs and minting CC short-digit domain names also have high weights.
It turns out that the earlier you participate and the more money you invest, the greater the airdrop returns will be. I spent 0.01ETH to register chuxiaolian.Cyber.
Simply spending time listening to AMA to earn W3ST is a zero-cost method with a relatively low weight and a small amount of CYBER obtained. However, doing project interaction tasks, collecting points, and participating in the mini-fragment draw by consuming points have relatively higher returns because of deeper interaction with officially recommended projects.
Currently, the CyberConnect airdrop has not gone viral, and only a small number of people who have interacted with it have participated, and the price trend of CYBER is not good enough.
The returns from airdrops are not high, and the number of CYBERs obtained is generally small. Many players have complaints about the way the CyberConnect project continues tasks, and few people have compiled CC interaction tutorials.
During this period, the market's enthusiasm for interactions with Layer Zero, zkSync, and Starknet has declined. Players who specialize in interactions are continuously increasing interactive TAX; new players who want to get airdrops by doing a few interactions have basically given up.
The interaction cycle of these projects is too long. Although there are marketing smoke bombs of "project snapshots will issue airdrops" from time to time, the long cycle can only produce dedicated airdrop players who have funds, manpower, perseverance, and sufficient cost investment, waiting for the results of the game.
But for individual interactive players, it is too difficult to persist.
I did an optimistic task in Shapeshift some time ago, which required the gitcoinpassport account to score more than 17 points and only invested a small amount of gas.
This is much easier than the second round of OP airdrops in early 2023, when I interacted with 10 projects, spent more than a dozen dollars on gas, and only got 3.5 OPs. I checked these two days and found that I can get 9 OPs, which is about 13 dollars, enough to buy 2 cups of Starbucks.
If you don’t have that much time to wait for the interaction cycle, you can also pay attention to some small projects. The benefits are small, but you can gain methods and accumulate funds from the interaction. Through these methods, you can slowly build up confidence in airdrops and experience the entire airdrop process and gameplay.
There are also many specialized interactive players who only focus on investing and interacting with certain large projects and do not waste time and energy on small projects. Once a large project issues an airdrop, they may become rich overnight.

Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. There is no absolute good or bad. Only by participating in it can you have a chance.
A few days ago, I saw a player’s comment that he cashed out 12 BTC in 2019 and raised more than 900,000 yuan to buy a house. He was both happy and sad when he got the property certificate recently.
In October 2019, the price of BTC was around 10,000 US dollars, and then it started to rise all the way, rising to 69,000 US dollars in 2021.
In 2019, domestic housing prices were at their peak, and real estate markets across the country were very hot, almost reaching their historical highs, and then began to fall. By 2023, room prices in most cities had fallen by more than 30%, and there was no market for them, so they could not be sold, and liquidity was even lower than BTC.
This friend suffered a double loss from short selling BTC and being trapped in housing prices. He was really moved when he got the red book today.
It is impossible to know which method is the best now. No one can predict the future. We can only seize the present, do the part that we can do well, and leave the rest to time.
The above is just my personal opinion, no investment advice. I am Chu Xiaolian, I am paying attention to the crypto market and web3.
