What are some terms related to profit-making and investment in the Web3 field?

In the Web3 field, terms related to profit-making and investment come together as a complete operational logic, from participating in activities to gain benefits to professional analysis and on-chain short-term speculation.

1. Alpha Airdrop: This is a points-based airdrop event launched by Binance, where users accumulate Alpha points through trading, staking, and using Web3 wallets within the Binance ecosystem. The points can later be exchanged for airdrop qualifications or listing quotas for quality new projects. Points have a 15-day rolling expiration mechanism, requiring continuous activity to maintain points.

2. Farming: Equivalent to "shearing sheep" in Web3, it refers to users actively completing tasks such as testing projects, promoting on social media, and on-chain interactions to receive free token rewards issued by the project parties. The Alpha Airdrop is one of the popular farming projects.

3. Investment Research: This refers to analyzing a project's market capitalization, community activity, narrative logic, technical strength, etc., in the Web3 context, to filter out potential targets and avoid blindly participating in "farming" or trading pitfalls. For example, determining whether a certain project is worth following in the long term or quickly cashing out after short-term farming.

4. On-chain Gold Dog: "Gold Dog" refers to a few small tokens on-chain with explosive potential (mostly meme coins). "Catching Gold Dogs" means quickly capturing trading opportunities for these tokens on-chain, relying on high-frequency trading to gain substantial profits. This operation is similar to hitting the upper limit in the stock market, requiring close attention to on-chain data and community dynamics, while also being alert to extreme risks such as token crashes and liquidity withdrawals. $BTC #巨鲸动向
