ALPHA wear has dropped to 1.77u, with a trading volume of only 33,000 today. The level of activity is clearly not as enthusiastic as before. A few days ago, the new coin plummeted, directly reducing active users to 200,000. A major exchange probably also noticed this issue and released two airdrops today in one go, seemingly aiming to stabilize popularity.

Let's take a look at what today's airdrops include:

**ACU (Acurast) - Starts at 18:00**

This is a decentralized computing platform established in 2022. Its core logic is to provide confidential and verifiable computing services using hardware from mobile devices around the world. It can support Web2 applications like Amazon Lambda and Google Cloud Functions, as well as Web3 applications across various blockchain ecosystems. The application scenarios are quite broad.

In terms of funding, it raised $16.4 million. The founder, Alessandro De Carli, previously worked on Hypergate and Papers, and holds a master's degree in computer engineering from the University of Zurich. The total token supply is 1 billion. The distribution is as follows: 24% community activation (early compute providers, airdrops, listing incentives, etc.), 24% community treasury, 24% team and advisors, 11.5% operations, 10% liquidity, 6.5% early supporters. The distribution ratio shows the team is relatively restrained.

**ELSA (Elsa AI) - Airdrop Sharing**

A new project in 2024, positioned as an AI crypto guide to help users make decisions. Its features include integrating AI agents, intent engines, and on-chain script execution, allowing autonomous agents to interact securely with blockchains and wallets, while also explaining and executing user operations.

The funding background is solid, having raised $3 million in seed funding. The founder, Dhawal Shah, is the CEO. He previously served as Chief Business Officer at Frontier and Chief Investment Officer at Bison Fund. He also participated in founding India's franchise portal Way2Franchise.com and received certification from the International Franchise Association in 2009. The founder's Web3 experience combined with a traditional business background is quite interesting.

**By the way**

Recently, the returns from airdrops have indeed been a bit disappointing. It’s recommended to take some time to do tasks on the XPL platform. Although the rewards are small, usually around 1 USD, it’s better than nothing.

XPL-3,6%

ALPHA has dropped so much, the exchange's airdrop is also ridiculous, do they really see us as a cash machine? --- The distribution ratio for ACU looks okay, but I wonder if it's just another scam to cut leeks. --- Damn, it's the usual tactic of new coins crashing to boost popularity. When will we see a real project? --- ELSA's funding is decent, but I'm worried it's just another slogan project. Let's wait and see if it gets proven wrong. --- Even small rewards are worth doing; in this bear market, you gotta grab everything. --- With the current lousy airdrops, ALPHA is at 1.77, and people are still here? Come on. --- I tried that task platform for XPL; it's really lonely, but anyway, I have nothing else to do. --- ACU has a decent background; at least the founder isn't just here to cut profits, but these days, words are meaningless. --- Releasing two airdrops at once shows they're really panicking, which means the exchanges are also nervous. --- What I care about is whether these two projects will break the peg; I hope it doesn't turn into a mess later.

ALPHA is in this state now, the exchanges are probably getting anxious, dropping two airdrops at once... The funding background for ACU is decent, but whether it can avoid breaking the peg after launch remains to be seen.

Speaking of ALPHA, I can't believe it can still hold at 1.77. 200,000 active users were directly wiped out by a wave of new tokens crashing, the exchange's double airdrop this time is indeed desperate... ACU's decentralized computing logic is pretty good, with the team distributing 24:24:24 for balance, it's not so wild after all. But on the other hand, 16.4 million in funding... not too much to say, not too little either. When will it be listed? Where is ELSA's AI guide? The seed funding is only 3 million, and I just want to know when it will be on the exchange. Now the airdrops are so disappointing...

The popularity has really collapsed, is 1.77 still dropping? Is the exchange just scrambling at the last minute?

Alpha's decline is so severe that activity has disappeared, which is normal. The exchange's double airdrop this time is indeed a rescue effort. Acurastoken distribution looks pretty good, but can this kind of decentralized computing platform really take off? Or is it just another concept coin? Elsa's AI guide is somewhat interesting, but the AI crypto guide track is so competitive that it's a matter of who can survive until the end. Mosquito bite rewards are really minimal; doing XPL tasks is not as good as directly increasing trading volume.
