Recently, I encountered a pretty heartbreaking situation. A major exchange launched a contract, and another exchange also followed suit. Just as I was about to receive the $US airdrop, I got stuck at the second verification step. I guess there are many users like me who are locked out, watching the airdrop slip away feels really bad.

Plus, there’s a staking project I’ve been following recently. The APR numbers are indeed tempting, but the problem is that the rewards can only be withdrawn after a certain period. If the verification went smoothly, I might still have had the energy to continue staking and break even. But now, I can’t even do my job. I checked the project documents, and the unclaimed airdrops will be redirected to future activities. Looking at the current situation, there’s basically no chance to make another quick gain. This is the harshness of the market — a one-second process blockage, and the opportunity disappears entirely.
