Recently, I’ve been looking into Walrus Protocol’s activities and found some interesting things. The project team has set up two leaderboards—one general and one exclusive to Chinese users. The data is quite contrasting: over ten thousand people have signed up for the general leaderboard, but only a little over a hundred are eligible for the Chinese one.

Looking at the reward distribution, it seems the prize pool is split evenly—each side gets 150,000 $WAL. This is quite interesting. In other words, the ten thousand people on the general leaderboard share that portion, while the hundred or so on the Chinese leaderboard share theirs. Fewer competitors mean less competition, which indeed makes the returns more stable.

From the infrastructure track perspective, there aren’t many people currently laying the groundwork. It feels like a good window for strategic positioning. But I’d like to hear everyone’s thoughts—am I misunderstanding something? After all, locking in steady gains is better than getting caught up in intense competition.

The Chinese leaderboard is so unpopular, but this way it's easier to copy homework, and the returns are much more stable.

Wow, so few people on the Chinese leaderboard? Isn't that a guaranteed win? Wait, is this data real? Why is there such a big discrepancy? Is this all the participation from the Chinese community? It feels a bit off. Having fewer people is an advantage, but we need to ensure this leaderboard isn't dead. This tactic is quite interesting; for clickbaiters, it's definitely an opportunity. But is the infrastructure track really that cold? Why does it feel so unpopular? 150,000 out of 1 million vs. 10,000 out of 1 million—it's like the difference between heaven and hell. Could the Chinese leaderboard be just a scam to cut the leeks? Too suspicious. Fewer people is indeed stable, but I want to know if this project itself is reliable. Is this move genuinely catering to the Chinese community or just a disguised nuisance? Who knows. Is there a possibility of big players coming in to stir the pot? Is it really safe to invest now? It seems the Chinese community's participation has always been a weak point, and this time is no exception.

This track indeed has fewer people, and the proportion in the Chinese leaderboard is quite extreme. Competition among hundreds vs. thousands of people, the returns are worlds apart. The project team’s move this time is quite clever. It's not too late to enter the infrastructure track now, but it depends on whether it can stand the test of time. High average returns don't necessarily mean you'll get them in the end; it still depends on code quality and participation. I just wonder if the Chinese community will suddenly flood in... that would make it lively. Should I jump on board quickly? Or wait and see?

Wow, the logic of this Chinese leaderboard is getting more and more impressive the more I look at it. About a hundred people sharing 150K versus ten thousand people sharing the same amount—there's really a big difference. Is this really an opportunity to buy the dip, or is the project team intentionally distributing in this way to reduce competition? I'm not quite sure. The infrastructure track indeed doesn't have many people, but precisely because of the low participation, I feel a bit cautious... Is it really that easy to profit from? The low engagement in the Chinese community—is it a barrier issue or something else? Does anyone know? Honestly, if I hadn't seen this data comparison, I wouldn't have realized there's such a gameplay here.

Damn, about a hundred people on the Chinese chart sharing 150k, this gap is too wide, is the general chart with ten thousand people also 150k? Is this hinting that we should compete internally or what? Actually, there are still opportunities in infrastructure, but this kind of ranking distribution feels a bit disappointing, I always feel something's off. It's really better to just aim for the international chart, maybe the hundredfold coin is waiting there, why bother wasting effort? This operation on the Chinese chart... everyone who understands knows, I just don't trust this kind of "favoritism." Wait, isn't this a disguised form of differentiated competition? Am I overthinking it? Are there really over a hundred people? Why does it feel so few? The higher concentration actually makes me a bit nervous. Is this data real? Why do I feel like it's fishing? Infrastructure is indeed a niche, but being cut apart so obviously by this kind of ranking division still feels a bit uncomfortable.

Damn, the data is quite outrageous. The Chinese leaderboard has fewer people, but it feels like there's some kind of cut... Huh? The prize pool for 10,000 people and a hundred people is the same? This benefit is indeed real. Infrastructure is now a blue ocean, and it's definitely time to lay low. But to be fair, is it true that the Chinese community is so little involved, or is no one paying attention to this event? I am optimistic about the infrastructure track, but Walrus's move this time feels a bit interesting; I need to watch more. Actually, I am more optimistic about the opportunity with just a hundred people—it's like a lucky find.

Is the Chinese leaderboard so unpopular? Then I need to make a move. Sharing 150k among a hundred people doesn't seem too bad. Wait, is the universal top 10,000 also 150k? The gap is indeed huge. This batch of Chinese users is definitely profiting. Is infrastructure currently so overlooked? I feel shocked from this perspective. Actually, the key is whether this 150k split in half is really true. It depends on how the subsequent operations go. The Chinese community has a low barrier to entry and few people, so opportunities like this should be seized quickly. But why is the competition so fierce on the universal leaderboard? Competing with 10,000 people is a bit crazy. Walrus's setup this time is quite clever; it's clearly a fishing tactic. The track is cold, but what if the project itself isn't good? It's safer to base it on projects with potential. The Chinese community is indeed easy to overlook. At such times, it's best to seize the opportunity. If 150k is divided evenly among the participants, how much does each person get? Need to do the math first. Feels like the promotion might be exaggerated.
