AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This is an article introduction. Its core message is that participants in Points programs should not focus solely on the number of Points; they must also account for the cost of capital committed, lending losses, and potential losses from providing liquidity before determining whether final returns can cover the costs.
Why it matters to readers
If airdrop returns are lower than funding and operational costs, participants may ultimately incur losses even if they continue accumulating Points.
It is suitable for newcomers to Points and airdrop activities, helping them understand the costs and risks that need to be assessed when participating in such programs; however, the original article summary does not provide specific calculation methods or data.
