Ever wonder why so many crypto platforms offer "zero fees" or "free airdrops"?



Here's the reality check nobody wants to hear: If you're not paying for the service, you're not the customer.

Your data? Sold. Your trading patterns? Analyzed. Your wallet activity? Tracked and monetized.

Whether it's a DeFi protocol, centralized exchange, or that shiny new dApp promising free rewards—ask yourself what they're actually getting in return. Because in this industry, nothing comes without a catch.

Protect your assets. Question everything labeled "free."

The essence of "chives" is data.
