After deleting all the grooming reminder apps, my asset return rate has tripled.

This discovery forced me to reevaluate this market. To be blunt: people still using traditional methods to groom are either seriously behind on information or haven't found a way out yet.

Yesterday, I uninstalled over a dozen task tracking apps from my phone, saying goodbye to the daily task browsing on various platforms. This is not a denial of the airdrop track, but rather I finally see the current situation clearly. Many people ask me if I’m no longer optimistic about this track, and my answer is: I am optimistic, but the gameplay must change fundamentally.

**The window of supply and demand imbalance is closing**

In the early days, earning money through grooming was simple—fewer participants, and project teams were willing to spend money to attract new users. But now, the situation has completely reversed. I researched ten leading platforms and found a harsh reality: the number of users participating in grooming has already exceeded the platform’s actual active users.

In other words, how can the platform still afford to be generous?

A more brutal truth is that these so-called "grooming activities" have long become low-cost tools for user acquisition. Small rewards in exchange for your registration, trading, and holding data, making platform metrics look good for fundraising. You think you’re exploiting the platform, but in fact, they’re exploiting you—you’re just that "traffic sheep."

**The real opportunity is on the chain**

While everyone is still fighting fiercely in this red ocean, my focus has shifted to new on-chain projects. This is not a fleeting idea, but based on a clear market judgment.

Compared to centralized platform activities, on-chain projects have three irreplaceable core advantages. First is complete freedom—no restrictions from platform rules. If you like a project, you can participate directly and interact through smart contracts. This autonomy simply does not exist in the centralized world.
