I think this is a popular take.CT is so boring right now that this could take the timeline by storm.Remember Blast?Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas):Unpopular take: MegaETH should launch a points campaign to drive activity.Points and airdrops are taboo after high FDV launches and mercenary capital leaving post-TGE.But the market is different now.First, MegaETH points would be THE talking point of CT because nothing else ...
