Airdrops were meant to reward early believers and community members. The reality? Often the opposite. The current claiming experience is a nightmare wrapped in complexity. Users get directed to dubious claim portals, burned by unexpected gas fees on unfamiliar blockchains, forced to sign off on convoluted transactions they barely understand. It defeats the whole purpose. When claiming a reward costs more than it's worth—or requires funds you don't have on that specific chain—something's fundamentally broken. Airdrops should feel like a gift, not a gauntlet.

Uh, now claiming airdrops is like opening blind boxes—one slip of the hand and the money's gone. Gas fees can make you doubt your life. This thing is more complicated than harvesting chives; when will it return to its original state? Early believers are actually the worst off, quite ironic.

Haha, this is a perfect interpretation of the decentralization spirit of Web3 — users are trapped in Schrödinger's bull market, and the gas fees are even more expensive than the airdrop itself. It's a level of satire that borders on performance art. Honestly, from the supply and demand curve, this airdrop mechanism has completely diverged from its original intention, more painful than a bubble. I just want to know if those who designed this claiming process have ever thought about the concept of "user-friendliness." Airdrops have turned into an economics exam, and most people fail — this might be the most vivid commentary on bear market philosophy. Even signing a TX requires praying once; what kind of experience is that... Someone really should give a lesson to the UX designer of this system.

Haha, really, I've experienced too many times where gas fees eat up the value of airdrops. Signing a transaction costs hundreds of dollars, but in the end, I only get a few dozen coins. What kind of crazy design is this? Early believers actually lose the most, it's unbelievable.
