@Metabape
 about something, I wrote it down to share—felt pretty interesting.

I asked: Among current airdrop projects, Variational feels like the one with the highest certainty, so why are so many people still unwilling to join? Why do they obsess"

@variational_io
 points would I need to receive a $100k airdrop?

Let's do some rough math.

Here are my assumptions:

• Variational has allocated 50% of its token supply to the community.
• The team has mentioned several times that they liked Hyperliquid's token"
