solana is hyping up right now so no wonder such airdrop valued so high, with the rumour of ftx gonna be reappearing under new management of course people are so bullish about solana and this airdrop come in just right when solana is reaching rally after rally i would be more baffled if its not getting valued high but BONK is simply just a meme coin where pyth have stronger utility and fundamental right here, I think it will be even better than BONK, moreover there are other airdrops like jupiter if im not mistaken that still a rumour but definitely gonna be making an airdrop in my opinion.
personally there's no wrong in trying retroactive airdrop in solana for anyone that  interested in getting airdrop, probably in future, eligibility criteria of solana airdrop would be eligible in pyth since its always like that like in arbitrum and other even though they are L2 unlike solana which is L1.
