The last day of 2025, airdrop circles once again dominate the headlines. The arrival and redemption of the LIGHTER project have allowed many participants to taste some sweet rewards—1 point of score can be directly exchanged for 20 coins, with the current coin price stable around 2.65U, making this ROI truly eye-catching. Even more astonishing, yesterday the coin price once surged to 2.97U, which means 1 point could be exchanged for a value of 60U. Such scenarios are indeed rare.
But what’s truly worth discussing is the ecological change in the entire DEX track. Besides the already launched LIGHTER project, I’ve recently been focusing on the PARADEX line. This project’s scores have been actively traded in the OTC market, maintaining a price range of 0.18-0.2U per XP. For participants who don’t want to stay glued to waiting for token issuance, this is actually a good profit window—selling some to recover capital, which is a prudent approach.
Speaking of which, there are now too many DEX platforms. Large and small projects are flooding in, but the risks are increasing accordingly. The biggest fear is spending half a year or more grinding scores, only for the project to skip out on issuing tokens. I’ve seen too many projects hyped up by KOLs to the sky, only to end in a dead end. I avoid those so-called “backpack plays” entirely. Instead of blindly following the trend, it’s better to choose projects with relatively clear fundamentals and verifiable team backgrounds.
Regarding score grinding strategies, I’ve recently figured out a little trick. Did you notice? Yesterday, my airdrop score precisely hit the number 241 again. There’s actually a reason behind this—when grinding scores, try to avoid ending digits of 0 or 5, and add 1 point in each cycle so that the final number ends with 1 or 6 (like 231, 226, 256). Many participants have reported that this can significantly increase the chances of receiving an extra airdrop. I don’t fully understand the specific principle, but based on sample data, it does seem effective. Interested friends can give it a try.
Next, there’s a key date to note: on the 5th, a TGE project will officially launch. For those who have been paying attention to the airdrop track, this is another new opportunity window. Anyway, at the very end of 2025, the airdrop track has delivered a pretty good report card. Moving into 2026, I hope everyone continues to maintain this enthusiasm and vigilance—participate actively but also beware of risks. Happy New Year! May your airdrops come in endlessly in 2026, and may your wallets truly grow fat.

Damn, LIGHTER's ROI this time is really top-notch, but right now DEX projects are too weak, and you can get cut off easily.

Haha, LIGHTER this wave is really fierce, doubling directly for the thrill
But to be honest, I'm a bit skeptical about these tail number tricks...
PARADEX is now at 0.18-0.2, can I still buy the dip?
May I ask if anyone has truly made big money
Compared to boosting scores, I'm more afraid of KOL teams running away now

Damn, LIGHTER really hit hard this time. I really regret not selling when it was at 2.97U.

Can the last digit being 1 or 6 allow for an extra payout? This needs to be tested in practice. Can we trust conclusions drawn from such a small sample size... But I did see several participants report positive results, which is quite interesting.

Oops, LIGHTER has indeed been lucrative this wave, but I still prefer PARADEX's OTC price window.
To be honest, the current airdrop distribution is too chaotic; I avoid all bag holdings, fundamentals are the most important.
I've also tried the scoring trick with the last digit 1 or 6, and it does seem to have some merit.
The TGE on the 5th needs to be marked, another new opportunity!

LIGHTER really made a killing this time. I really regret not buying the dip when it hit 60U.

Lighter this wave is indeed enjoyable, but I still want to buy the dip in PARADEX's XP
