Brothers, the "wealth password" of the Binance MPC wallet (non-custodial wallet) has been updated, and this time it's the $OPEN task from @opinionlabsxyz. I studied it a bit, and it's not just simple money-grabbing; the logic behind it is quite interesting.
🕒 Key points first: quick overview of the task
• Start time: February 6, 2026, 11:00 (set your alarm, don't slap your thigh after it's all gone)
• Prize pool is generous: 5,000,000 $OPN, directly throwing out 0.5% of the total supply.
• Very low threshold: as long as you have 5 Binance Alpha points, you can exchange for a ticket.
• Fast arrival: the first batch of 3 million tokens will be distributed on the day of the TGE, emphasizing no empty promises.
💡 Deep thinking: If transfers are all free, then $XPL does it still have value?
Many people, after experiencing 'zero transaction fee' transfers using USDT on the Plasma network, will ask a soul-searching question: since there is no need to use $XPL as Gas fee, what is the point of buying this coin? Is it just air?
In fact, quite the opposite. If USDT is the 'fuel' running on the road, then xpl is the 'original stock' of the Plasma highway. Its value logic has shifted from 'consumables' to 'means of production':
1. It is the 'ballast' for the network operation.
Want to earn money on Plasma? Become a validator node. But without proof, you need to stake xpl. It's like a badge of honor; the more you stake, the more stable the network, and the safer you are. This strong binding of **'staking-security-appreciation'** is the trump card of $XPL's value.
2. It is the 'decision-making power' in your hands.
How Plasma will upgrade in the future and how the treasury funds will be spent is not decided by the project team on a whim, but voted by xpl holders. In this circle, governance power is voice power and is a scarce resource that top players compete for.
3. It is the 'capture net' for ecological dividends.
As the DeFi locked value (TVL) and trading volume on Plasma soar, the system will use mechanisms like buyback and destruction, and priority certificates to return these profits to $XPL. In simple terms: users enjoy convenience with stablecoins, while holders benefit from the ecosystem's growth in the background.
📢 To summarize
$XPL is not the 'gasoline' used for consumption, but the 'equity' of the entire decentralized system. This **'usage rights belong to stablecoins, ownership belongs to XPL'** dual-track design indeed has some merit.
So here comes the question: do you think this 'no Gas fee' model will be the endgame of the next round of public chain competition?
