The “airdrop points + TVL lock” model, used by Blast and others, aims to align incentives by rewarding users who contribute liquidity and keep it locked. This approach creates immediate TVL growth and stickiness during the campaign, but its long-term effectiveness is mixed. While it discourages short-term farming, many users still withdraw after token unlocks, leading to TVL drops. The system favors capital-rich users and may exclude smaller, loyal users. Without real utility, app diversity, or yield sustainability, the model incentivizes capital parking over true engagement. Long-term retention requires more than just rewards—it needs ecosystem depth.
