How crazy can the airdrops in the perpetual contract track get?

Aster's recent airdrop directly dumped 1 billion dollars, and Hyperliquid is even more outrageous, with a scale of 10 billion dollars. Many players have earned seven-figure or even eight-figure profits from a single project. This is not a myth; it’s happening in real life.

Recently, I’ve been following some emerging Perp protocols. Several projects have interesting trading depth and tokenomics design. The characteristic of this track is strong user stickiness and high trading frequency. Once the airdrop scale picks up, it’s usually significant. Of course, the specific approach depends on individual risk tolerance, but this direction is definitely worth continuous monitoring.

The logic behind earning points is actually not complicated: high-frequency small trades + long-term holding, maximizing activity.
