#空投活动 Seeing the Lighter's witch account cleanup mechanism, I was reminded of some observations from participating in various airdrops over the years.

Honestly, anti-cheating is a good thing in itself, but more importantly, how we view this process matters. Many people participate in airdrops with a "free-riding" mentality, risking it all by mass operations and creating fake accounts. It may seem clever in the short term, but in the long run, they face the risk of being cleaned out and having their points reset—this kind of risk is actually an invisible cost.

What’s worth noting about Lighter’s approach this time is that they set up an appeal mechanism and acknowledge the possibility of misjudgment. This humble attitude is rare. But more fundamentally, it reminds us that when participating in any incentive activity, we should ask ourselves a few questions: Is this reward based on genuine usage? Can my actions withstand scrutiny?

My simple advice is—rather than exhausting effort to "optimize" participation methods, it’s better to focus on genuine trading and learning. The points earned through normal use are the ones that can truly be converted into benefits. Airdrops are just the icing on the cake and should not be the core of investment decisions.

In the long run, honest participation and steady allocation are always more cost-effective than opportunistic shortcuts.
