Recently, a project's plugin feature has been opened, and the operation is very simple and straightforward to activate. However, based on community feedback, the competition has become quite fierce—many people complain that they haven't even reached Lv1 level after spending 50 USDT. It seems that the project team has raised the requirements for participants; now, you must submit genuine and feasible GitHub code to qualify. With this wave of popularity, a large number of people are rushing in to compete, and the difficulty level has obviously skyrocketed. To stand out in this round of incentives, simply investing funds is not enough; real skills and knowledge are also required.

From the source code perspective, this wave of threshold increases is actually a good sign — it indicates that project teams are starting to filter genuine builders rather than just employing the usual "harvesting" tactics. You can't get a level with 50 USDT, which shows that the market pricing mechanism is beginning to self-regulate. The question is, is there a clear standard for evaluating the quality of GitHub code? It seems this could easily become a new point of information asymmetry. In theory, if competition is truly based on code quality, it should be more developer-friendly. But right now, it looks more like they've just changed the entry ticket again.

Can't even get level 1 with 50 USDT? Laughable, this is the current state of Web3 --- It's the same old trick, real code is the hard currency, the money-burning players should wake up --- It's getting intense, the difficulty is skyrocketing and there's no stopping it --- Basically, project teams are starting to filter people, only those who can really write code are qualified to play --- What's the point of complaining? Instead of whining, better to hone your coding skills --- This round really shows the gap, the era of just throwing money is over --- Feels like this every time, when the hype rises, the difficulty soars, just normal

Can't even get level 1 with 50 dollars? That's hilarious. This must be Web3's inflation.

Haven't even reached the level with 50 dollars? This competition is really intense... Just burning money clearly doesn't work, you need to have real skills.

50U didn't get it? This project is really getting more and more competitive... --- Code is the real hard currency; just throwing money around is already outdated. --- Honestly, the competition in this circle is ridiculous now. Without some technical reserves, you really can't keep up. --- It's that same "real code" trick again. With such a high barrier, ordinary people can't compete anymore. --- I just want to know, how many of those claiming to have GitHub are really... --- Raising the bar repeatedly like this, what's the point? How many will be left in the end? --- I can't believe I didn't get Lv1 after investing money; this project's logic is truly impeccable. --- I'll just observe with a laid-back attitude; the high participation actually indicates a bubble is forming. --- Skilled developers don't lack this kind of incentive; in the end, it's still those few people exhausting resources internally.

Didn't even get the $50? This thing has already escalated to this level, and I still have to write code? I'm just puzzled. Isn't this turning into a technical selection competition?
