The memories of the crypto world are always diluted by K-lines, but there are always some stories, like mnemonic phrases in an old wallet, that can awaken all the details and warmth with just a gentle touch.
For me, $XPL is such an existence. It is not like a thrilling contract battle, but more like a gentle, unexpected sunshine in September that shines upon the earth. I still remember that legendary screenshot in the community: someone merely tested by depositing 1 dollar in the protocol, like a seed sown casually. As a result, during the airdrop, the seed grew into a towering tree — nearly ten thousand dollars in rewards lay in the account. At that moment, what excited the entire community was not the price of the coin, but a shock of being respected. The generosity and vision of the project team exceeded everyone’s wildest imagination of “grabbing a profit”; it was not like charity, but more like a solemn tribute to the early believers.
Now, the winds of the crypto world have changed again. The high walls of Twitter have been erected, the channels of the API have tightened, and those 'keyboard warriors' relying on scripts and bluster have suddenly lost their noisy weapons. At this moment, the voice of $XPL has once again come through clearly. It did not choose those noisy places, but once again turned its gaze to our land - Binance Square.
This feeling is like a tacit reunion of old friends amidst the storms of the martial world. He knows that here gathers a group of brothers and sisters who truly love discussion, are happy to share, and grow together through bull and bear markets. This benefit is not just about tokens, but more like an invitation letter to builders: at the moment when speculators are washed out, we 'residents' who are willing to calm down to read, write, and think deserve to be rewarded again.
This reminds me of those legendary 'Big Maos'. They may have sold $XPL at a certain high point, achieving a leap in wealth, with beaches, freedom, and legends becoming their tags. But I believe they have never truly 'sold out'. What they haven't sold is the night spent in early Telegram groups, passionately debating a line of code or a vision; the surprise and faith of seeing a $1 seed grow into a towering tree; that pure ideal of 'projects and communities achieving each other'.
Now, $XPL has once again come to the square, as if practicing this unfulfilled ideal. It is not just here to distribute the wealth password, but also to connect. To connect you, to connect me, to connect every individual here who lives seriously and shares joys and sorrows. It shows us that in this cold world driven by data and algorithms, human connections, the collision of thoughts, and collective growth are still the most precious assets, and will always be seen and rewarded by projects with ideals.
So, this is not just an airdrop. This is a crowning of the 'spirit of the square'. Let us take this benefit filled with ideals, not only becoming companions of wealth but also co-builders of a decentralized future. Because the ideals of the Big Maos are being passed down through these transmissions in our hands.
Our story is the most inseparable Layer 2 in the Plasma ecosystem.
