A wave of quite active airdrop activities has recently appeared on the BSC chain. A new token was airdropped to over 10 million wallets within just two weeks.

The background of this operation is worth noting—it happened right after the completion of the BSC MAXWELL version upgrade. The main highlight of this hard fork is the significantly reduced network gas fees, which has attracted many developers and users to return to the BSC ecosystem.

From a project perspective, this token has already gathered a quite active community, and the development team continues to invest. The project's goal is very clear: to benchmark pioneers like SHIB and ORDI, and to find its own position within the ecosystem.

As a representative of low-cost public chains, BSC has indeed become more attractive to new projects and users after gas optimization. Airdrops, as an early traffic-driving method, combined with community operations, whether they can translate into long-term value depends on the project's subsequent development progress. Events like these reflect how public chain optimization and upgrades can drive the overall ecosystem activity.

SHIB-3,3%

ORDI-8,18%

10 million wallet airdrop? Same old story, how many times can the SHIB and ORDI stories be told? Lower gas fees are real, but how many projects can really succeed? Let's wait and see the follow-up development; no matter how fierce the hype now, it's all talk. This wave did catch the upgrade wave, but that doesn't mean it's stable. Community popularity ≠ project reliability; you still need to look at the code and operations. Another one riding the trend, but gas fees are indeed a bit cheaper. Airdrop distribution itself doesn't prove anything; the key is retention rate. Maxwell's upgrade is a positive, but with so many projects competing for resources, it's uncertain. Feels like another cycle of cutting leeks is coming. Lower gas fees are indeed attractive, but project quality is the real key. 10 million wallets sounds impressive, but how many are truly active?

ngl, 10M wallets in 2 weeks is just mile 5 of the marathon—real question is who's still hodling at mile 20. maxwell gas optimization hitting at the perfect timing tho, that's the ecosystem momentum talking.

Huh? It's the same old airdrop scam, the number of 10 million wallets sounds great but does anyone really HODL? When gas fees drop, a bunch of projects rush in. This time, MAXWELL's upgrade is like a shot in the arm for BSC. Compared to SHIB and ORDI? Wake up, those are chosen ones. Latecomers trying to copy them rarely succeed. But on the other hand, low costs do attract more people. The question is, how will these new projects develop later? Airdrops are just sugar-coated bullets. Just watch, those that survive more than three months are considered doing well.

10 million wallet airdrop? This move is really aggressive, let's see if they can keep people's interest in the follow-up The gas fees dropping so much indeed makes it easy to siphon, BSC's recent upgrade is still quite impressive Compared to SHIB? Haha, another project trying to soar through community support, betting that your development can't keep up with the hype Such a scale within two weeks... feels a bit too aggressive, is it trying to freeze the market quickly or do they really have confidence The upgraded BSC is indeed lively, but will this token survive past next month? Unknown Airdrops are old news, the key is whether the project team truly intends to build long-term It feels like riding the wave of the upgrade, quickly expanding while hot, smart but also risky After Maxwell is completed, competition among public chains will be fierce again, and this move with the new coin is probably just to grab the top spot

The timing of this airdrop was perfect. After Maxwell upgraded, the gas fees immediately plummeted, and those who bought the dip definitely took the opportunity to enter. Another project comparable to SHIB... Should we bet a few bucks to see how long it can survive this time? Lower gas fees have this effect—many projects rushing in. This is the power of blockchain network optimization. 10 million wallets... Not to mention how many are bots, but the real question is whether the momentum can keep up. After fee reduction, the ecosystem indeed became more active, but it seems like everyone is just fighting for traffic. How many are truly building products? We're all tired of this kind of airdrop routine. It depends on how the development team acts next.
