Wait, let me break this down. InfoFi banned—everyone went ballistic. Then suddenly the platform starts dangling $1M for the best article on the timeline.

Yesterday it was pure chaos. Today? Everyone's supposed to transform into essay-writing machines competing for seven-figure payouts.

That's Web3 for you. Unpredictable. Ironic. A bit absurd. One minute the community's in freefall, next minute there's an incentive game that's got half the ecosystem trying to write their way to a prize. You gotta laugh at the logic sometimes.

NGL, this is Web3—one second hell, one second heaven. Anyway, I can't write articles at the million-level.

Haha, a typical Web3 trick. First, break people's morale, then come back with a 1 million reward to save the day.

NGL Web3 is just like this—yesterday it was in a death spiral, and today it's already started writing papers? That's hilarious.

According to on-chain data, the incentive mechanism design for this wave of operations is indeed intriguing— $1M prize pool vs. community confidence index contrast, with the specific analysis as follows: First, from the public opinion cycle perspective, the interval between the ban and the incentive is only 24 hours, and such rapid turnaround has a success rate of no more than 18% in history; second, the participation threshold for article competition is relatively low, which may lead to uneven content quality; third, risk warning—large rewards are often accompanied by higher moral hazard. Web3 is like this, yesterday still debating liquidation mechanisms, and today you have to learn how to write viral papers.
