The Square has recently been a bit turbulent due to the $Jager rule adjustments, with many users complaining about the project team. I was initially quite worried; indeed, the rule change midway through the first round was worth a bit of criticism, and I directly provided feedback on Twitter. However, from my personal experience, the rule change actually made me more interested in continuing to play.

In the previous mechanism, one ticket required tens of billions of $Jager, which was really painful to spend. Now, the cost has been adjusted to less than 2 billion per ticket, which is equivalent to using 2 billion to chase an 8 trillion plus return. Calculated by this multiple, it’s quite tempting. I now buy about two tickets almost every day, mainly to boost the lottery mechanism. Winning is of course great, but even if I don’t win, I don’t mind because the psychological cost has indeed decreased significantly.

To be honest, over the long term, the money spent might not be less than before. Buying 10 times consumes 20 billion, which is quite a shocking total. But the key is the psychological feeling — a 20 billion single purchase can be very painful, but splitting it into multiple small amounts feels much easier.

If any partners want to continue following this project, I suggest they can still keep an eye on it. Recently, there’s a good suggestion on Twitter: the game mechanism is almost fully developed, and the system can run automatically. The project team might as well focus on developing new applications. This way, the ecosystem remains vibrant, and users will have more ways to enjoy the platform.
