I've looked into the new launch model on the $Virtual platform.
The website for the new $Virtual platform's point-based launch is this one:
Here's how this model works: First, to deposit, you need points in your wallet. You can deposit points + Virtual. Each wallet can deposit a maximum of 566 $Virtual, and points will also be allocated tokens. If it's not full, both the points and $Virtual will be returned.
You can see the point allocation and conditions here:
Here's a summary:
1. You'll get points for participating in this new pre-sale model.
2. You can earn points daily by holding $VIRTUAL in your wallet.
3. You can earn points by staking $VADER.
Currently, there aren't many people who can deposit because $Virtual's performance has been poor, dropping from its high to just over $0.50 now. However, a recent positive development is its listing on Binance spot. Now that the new point model is out, it feels like some new projects are about to emerge.
Personally, I think retail investors who want to participate in future pre-sales should:
1. Use multiple wallets, putting some $Virtual in each wallet. As long as you have points, you can get the qualification to participate.
2. Find some projects with high popularity to deposit into; it's unlikely there will be any problems.
3. Frequently deposit into new projects to earn corresponding points.
4. If you have the means, buy some $VADER and stake it. Calculate whether the points from this are more than those from holding Virtual.
This is still in its early stages, and the number of people who can participate is indeed not that high. So far, only about 200 people can deposit. There's still a barrier to entry. If a star project emerges, things will improve for everyone.
