@OpenGradient Airdrop behavior tends to follow one script. Accumulate. Hold. Wait for a date that checks the wallet, not the person behind it.
The pattern is common enough that it stops looking like a strategy and starts looking like a default.
That default gets tested the moment someone opens a new eligibility page expecting the usual number. A threshold to hit, a wallet to leave alone.
Instead there's a usage condition sitting there.
I checked one of these recently because the structure looked different from the usual pattern, and the difference wasn't cosmetic.
OpenGradient's S2 phase ties eligibility to purchased credit combined with constant use of OpenGradient Chat. No snapshot. No static figure sitting untouched in a wallet.
A balance can be acquired and then ignored for months. Usage can't be faked the same way. It has to be repeated, logged, sustained over time inside the product itself.
The credit is just the entry fee.
Registration includes 1000 free credits, which lowers the cost of entry without changing what gets measured.
The credits get someone into the system. What happens after that, inside the product, is what eligibility actually tracks.
Buying credit and never touching OpenGradient Chat still leaves the condition unmet. The criteria are built around interaction, not capital sitting idle.
Nobody's tested this against real scrutiny yet.
S2 is running now. This model is getting tested against actual behavior instead of being theorized about in advance.
And whether usage-gated eligibility holds up better than balance-gated models under sustained pressure hasn't been settled.
