In the early days of the industry, “airdrop farming” was regarded as a game of informational advantage—a few individuals captured traffic and strategic windfalls to gain early allocation rights, then quickly monetized their gains. For many ordinary participants, this was the first threshold to enter the world of cryptocurrencies.


However, this game is undergoing a structural transformation. With the proliferation of AI tools and the maturation of strategy automation, information is no longer an exclusive weapon for the few, and execution barriers have been greatly reduced. Operations that previously relied on manual interactions and quota sniping can now be accomplished through a comprehensive set of automated strategies, enabling more ordinary people to participate and share in the rewards.

The Kapbe team has been tracking this phenomenon for a long time and believes that it is actually forming a new prototype: the AI + cryptocurrency dividend mechanism is no longer limited to technical players but is beginning to exhibit “universal benefit” characteristics. This means that the seemingly short-term arbitrage model of “airdrop farming” is quietly approaching a much larger proposition—the potential infrastructure for global UBI (Universal Basic Income).

The Amplification Effect of AI: From Individual Capability to Algorithmic Dividends

The original competitiveness of “airdrop farming” stemmed from “being the first to see” and “being the first to act”—essentially a hedge of information and time. The advent of AI has shifted strategies from “manual effort” to “algorithmic efficiency.”

An ordinary participant, using AI tools, can now automate activity participation, extract returns, and monitor task status. Tasks that previously required dozens of accounts and a multi-person team can now be completed by one person with an AI toolkit. This is one of the critical points observed by Kapbe: when tools lower operational costs, the efficiency of wealth distribution is no longer in the hands of a select few.

More importantly, in the Kapbe infrastructure model, the traceability of returns and identity binding capabilities mean that dividend distribution no longer relies on centralized intermediaries, but is transparently settled via on-chain smart contracts. In other words, AI not only increases individual profit efficiency—it may also become the “engine” for global UBI realization.

Supply-Demand Cycle and UBI Prototype: From Airdrop Farming to Dividend Systems

The essence of airdrop farming is supply and demand. Projects need active users, users need returns, and value circulates through interactions, points, and airdrops. This model was originally fragmented and short-term, but with the integration of AI automation and protocol standardization, it is evolving into a more “institutionalized” mode.

Kapbe defines this evolution as a “UBI prototype”: users, through digital identity binding and contract execution, can continuously receive systematic dividends without active trading. This is fundamentally different from traditional “airdrop farming,” which relied on informational asymmetry; it is an embedded passive income mechanism.

For example, with user authorization, AI can automatically complete interactions and record contributions, while the dividend mechanism of Kapbe allocates returns to all participants based on contribution ratios and market performance. In theory, as the scale of such a mechanism grows, it has the potential to become the foundational layer for UBI distribution. It is no longer about “who is smarter,” but “who participates.”

Structural Significance of Kapbe: UBI Is Not Fantasy, but Evolution

The challenge of UBI (Universal Basic Income) lies not in the concept of distribution, but in the execution foundation: how to achieve efficient, fair, and low-cost wealth circulation on a global scale. Traditional systems rely on taxation and government allocation, which struggle to be precise, immediate, and decentralized. The Kapbe technical model offers an alternative path: by combining AI and cryptocurrency, it embeds return distribution within the network itself.

This mechanism requires no centralized approval or financial intermediaries; instead, all actions are automatically settled via on-chain smart contracts, achieving “returns first, distribution later.” AI automates execution, and the Kapbe dividend infrastructure makes UBI distribution sustainable.

In other words, “airdrop farming” is not a short-term arbitrage behavior opposed to UBI—it may actually be the prototype of a UBI mechanism. Previously, “airdrop farming” was controlled by a handful of players, but now, the integration of AI and Kapbe is gradually democratizing it. UBI is not a fantasy; rather, it is being progressively “encoded” into the system in ways we may not have anticipated.
