Mad Lads series NFTs under Backpack recently made a "hardcore" move. The official statement broke some community illusions—stating outright that holders will not receive any airdrop compensation.

With this announcement, it instantly exposed those speculators who were purely in it for free gains. The project's stance is very clear: we are not an airdrop factory; coming to Mad Lads means paying for the culture.

Interestingly, the official statement also carried a bit of self-deprecating humor—admitting that it indeed sparked some excessive expectations before. But then they added, "Ownership is far more important than an airdrop," seemingly implying that true holders should understand this logic.

No matter how you see it, this move at least shows one thing: Mad Lads is trying to distance itself from those opportunists who just want to jump on the bandwagon, leaving behind community members who genuinely appreciate the project's cultural core. No airdrops, but if you buy into this attitude and ecological position, the story might just be beginning.

Ha, another brilliant move to clean out speculators. I like this vibe. Really dare to say no airdrops? This is the attitude that truly respects the believers. Whale hunters, get lost! Leave it to those who truly understand the community to play. Ownership > Airdrops. This statement really hits the mark. Not everyone can understand it. Mad Lads' straightforward approach is a bit harsh, but it definitely separates the true holders. Don't just look at the lack of airdrops; the key is the ecosystem status. That's where the long-term value lies. Ultimately, it's about filtering the community. The absence of airdrops instead proves the project's confidence. Following the trend must be pretty uncomfortable now, haha. That's the price. The victory belongs to the steadfast holders. All other noise should get out.

Haha, it's the same old excuse again. If there's no airdrop, don't talk about culture paying the bill.

Ha, is it the same old story? Ownership is more important than airdrops? Then why did you do nothing earlier? Without airdrops, no one would pay attention. Don't pretend to be cultured. The true holders are the ones who got cut the most. Wake up, everyone.

Ha, another high emotional intelligence way to break the "we don't airdrop" deadlock. To put it nicely, it's just filtering people out. This move is indeed clever, directly discouraging those who are just here to farm for free, leaving mostly true believers. But to be honest, at this point, are those still holding truly doing it for the culture, or are they betting on the future ecosystem?
