For the past 2 years, I have spent over $20000 on gas fee to trasfer asset to dYdX. As a loyal user, I think I deserve an airdrop! But I still didnt get any.
BTW, I noticed there are quite some nice DEX derivates products coming out, such as Perpetual, Vega, Shield DAO. I have got 5000 testnet DAI airdrop from Shield DAO lately and I tried the product out. It claims that it is a risk-free pepertual contrac protocol. It seems like a pretty novel idea because it says users can enjoy an unlimited upside profit with limited downside cost--the prepaid funding fee. It might become a real hit if it manages to do what it says.
For Vega, I dont have a nice experience there so I will comment nothing. Perpetual is doing quite well so I will keep an eye on it as well.
Dex is the future, and based on the community driven method, the most success dex would know they shall do airdrop in order to gather their first users, if we take a look at uniswap, 1inch, you will see the reason.
Derivatives product is surely a popular in the market right now cauz if you take a look, Perpetial did quite well on Binance. I am very interested in the New projects that the host has bringing in the topic, will take a look and see what's Shield DAO
