A few years ago, at night, there were queues of grain trucks under the Kernel elevators — dozens of cars at once. The drivers spent the night in the cabins, and a guard with a flashlight counted the cars and made sure that no one got ahead. A truck could stand under the gate for up to three days: the carrier did not earn money during this time, the company overpaid for downtime, which was included in the tariff by contractors, and the company did not understand when exactly the raw materials would arrive. Today, this picture is no longer there. But, as it turned out, removing the live queue turned out to be a much more difficult task than simply «making slot reservations.» Over six years, Kernel’s internal platform for managing transport logistics — TransitHUB — has grown from a simple electronic recording tool into a highly critical production system, on which the reception and shipment of 30 elevators, 6 factories and 5 terminals depend, and it is used by about 50,000 drivers.

One of the most famous airdrops in the history of the industry ended on a high note. According to Dune analysis, over 75% of wallets that received Uniswap tokens sold them within the first week. Over time, the share of those who completely disposed of their UNI reached 93%, with only about 7% of wallets still holding any tokens. These numbers clearly show one feature of airdrops: the token received does not always create long-term loyalty. In this sense, an airdrop is not like buying attention, but rather its short-term rental. A project can pay a person to come, make a transaction, or try a product. It is much more difficult to pay for them to stay after the incentives end.

This year's fall Apple presentation left mixed impressions. On the one hand, the Cupertino company finally fully entered the artificial intelligence race, and on the other, it made it clear that the era of free innovation is coming to an end.
