Dare to trade. Dare to win.
While participating in the 4-point Airdrop activity, I encountered an unexpected setback. The originally calm participation process was suddenly interrupted by a violation notice, resulting in my account being banned. This turn of events caught me off guard, as I had always insisted on manual operation and did not use any automated tools or change devices.
After repeated consideration, I speculate that this may be related to the trading competition I recently participated in. Initially, I only dabbled in the pepe and NFT fields, thinking that the competition in sundog was fierce and choosing to observe. However, when I checked the results in the afternoon, I realized that participating in only two projects would make it difficult to earn the overall leaderboard rewards, which could lead to economic losses.
So, I decisively joined the sundog competition and completed 130 transactions in just 20 minutes, with a trading volume reaching an astonishing 200,000 sundog. I strictly adhered to the recommended prices for buying and selling, and my operation speed was extremely fast. However, this high-frequency trading behavior may have been misjudged by the system as automated operations, triggering the ban mechanism.
This experience has left me feeling helpless. For now, I can only temporarily set aside my participation and wait for the situation to develop. My biggest concern is whether the rewards will still be distributed. If I lose the rewards, the effort of these three days will not only be in vain but could also result in a loss of over 100U.
This incident reminds us that when participating in blockchain projects, we need to balance active involvement with caution. Excessively aggressive trading behavior may trigger unexpected risks, affecting overall returns. At the same time, it also highlights that the existing trading system still has room for optimization in identifying real user behavior. In the future, how to ensure fairness while avoiding collateral damage to real users will be an important issue for the platform.
