honestly? the cysic situation shouldn't shock anyone.

they literally announced upfront—only 0.6% of the total supply going to the airdrop pool. do the math: that's how you end up with 0.1 cys per wallet. when you spread crumbs across thousands of participants, nobody gets fed.

and here's the thing—warden protocol seems headed down the same path. another "everyone gets rewarded" model brewing.

here's what i've learned watching these plays unfold: universal distribution sounds democratic on paper, but it kills incentive structures. you dilute rewards so thin that early supporters and active contributors get the same treatment as last-minute farmers. no differentiation = no real value signal.

the projects that nail tokenomics? they tier their allocations. they reward behavior, not just presence. because when you give everyone the same slice, you're really giving no one a reason to care.
