Project teams usually have two main ways to make money in the market. The first is to operate profitably through market prediction, such as flexibly adjusting the TGE timing and precisely controlling token distribution to influence FDV valuation.

But the real ruthless method is the second—when the platform both distributes points airdrops and supports point trading, a complete arbitrage cycle emerges. The process roughly goes like this: users, aiming to lock in profits, deposit collateral on a platform that trades points and sell their points, waiting for the TGE settlement. The project team also enters the market by depositing collateral to buy the users' point positions. On the eve of the TGE, the project team conducts a "whale attack" on the points, reclaiming the users' points. As a result, users are unable to complete delivery to buyers, and their collateral is lost.

And the project team kills two birds with one stone—they get the seller's collateral and recover the points. Since the points ultimately correspond to airdrops, reclaiming the points is like directly pocketing the airdrop chips. Combining these two methods makes the strategy truly invincible.
