Project Overview - Metamask officially launched a perpetual contract trading activity, encouraging users to participate in "transaction mining" to earn points [1][2] - The activity offers a clear path for users to potentially receive a Metamask airdrop, and also a $Linea airdrop as an interim reward [2] Participation Guide - Users can download or update to the latest version (v7.57.0) of the MetaMask mobile app and enter the "Rewards" section to claim an initial 250 points [3][4] - Entering the referral code NGDG0G grants an additional 250 points, equivalent to avoiding $40,000 in trading volume [4][7] - Users can deposit USDC (preferably via Arbitrum for faster transactions) and start trading perpetual contracts [4] Point Accumulation - Spot trading earns 10 points per $800 traded, while contract trading earns 10 points per $100 traded, making contract trading more efficient for point accumulation [4] - Using older wallets with prior Metamask swap or cross-chain activity can yield loyalty rewards, potentially accumulating up to 50,000 points [6] Rewards and Strategy - Achieving 1,000 points by the end of the season (86 days) may qualify users for $Linea tokens [6] - High point totals can reduce transaction fees, suggesting a strategy of focusing on high scores with a main account and lower scores with smaller accounts [6]

Industry Trend - The document highlights a recurring pattern of "transaction mining" in the cryptocurrency space, occurring approximately every two years: 2019 (ft), 2021 (dydx), 2023 (zkf), and projected for 2025 (aster) [1] - The industry questions the sustainability of this "transaction mining" model over a longer period, specifically a decade [1]

SOL Launchpad 平台币百团大战风波再起今天基本上 Pump 的币属于全面大反攻了，大部分都是一些复活的老币起飞，龙头就是 Troll 巨魔，一个转折点的信号大概是昨天 Pump 的交易挖矿@theunipcs bonkguy 在喊今天 bonk 很多的生态币打折，但动态来看，目前看来这波 Pump 反攻帮助 Pump 抢占了 36.6% 的市场份额，并且交易挖矿的预期确实起到了非常大的作用另外还有 BAGS 和 Jup 这两天也有小金出来，跟互联网百团大战真是差不多了。从历史经验来看，谁是美团谁是饿了么确实不好说，就拿外卖和社区零售来说，哪怕是现在，饿了么也没死，而且还有的是新进入的竞争者京东进场，只要有肉的地方资本一定会努力去抢，那么 SOL launchpad 平台币这块想坐稳老大恐怕也不是简单的事类似的竞争还有 tg bot 大战，最初的获胜者 unibot 被 banana gun 打败，又被大师、gmgn 打败，只要 SOL 链上还有热钱，这场战争就有得好打了 ...
