WHITEWHALE experiences an abnormal surge (a 3.25% increase on the 5-minute candlestick), and there are several substantial driving factors behind this momentum.

First, the airdrop has officially started. Wallets that meet the criteria can connect directly to claim, and the distribution process is underway, which often attracts a lot of attention.

More interesting is the project's actions—the founder has permanently locked the tokens and established a community treasury. This "Enough" declaration is significant and marks a shift from pure hype to substantive governance. It’s not just a slogan but backed by actions.

Supporting this upward trend is also community consensus. Developer credibility is continuously reinforced through repeated validation, and team stability has become the core of the narrative. This ongoing trust-building process is fundamentally different from projects that run away after a quick pump.

Data also reflects the breadth of the increase:
• Trigger price 0.08791
• 5-minute increase 3.25%
• 30-minute increase 4.88%
• 4-hour increase 13.32%

From the 5-minute to the 4-hour multi-cycle data, the rise is not driven by a single trigger but by sustained momentum accumulation.

Airdrop 1 started with a pump, I’m familiar with this routine. The key is that the founders are truly locked in, unlike some projects that just shout slogans. Permanent token lock-up to build a treasury? Action-oriented, I like it, definitely more reliable than those who just boast every day. 4 hours, 13 points—there's definitely something there, but I’ll keep observing and see how it goes.

The founder locking tokens is really ruthless; finally, there's a project that isn't afraid of being proven wrong. Much better than those who talk about trust but then dump the market immediately.

ngl the 4h chart hitting 13.32% while 5min barely moved 3.25% screams controlled accumulation... probably MEV bots frontrunning the airdrop claims. that permanent lock is just theater tho—watched the calldata and most flow went to bridge contracts, not actual holders. calculated the basis points spread... you're leaving ~240bps on the table if you're not arbing the liquidity fragmentation rn

I've heard the phrase "permanent lock-up tokens" too many times, but what really matters is whether it can stay stable afterward. Airdrops can definitely boost enthusiasm initially, but I'm worried that no one will step in to buy the dip later.

Permanent token locking sounds good, but few projects can truly stick to it.

The move of permanently locking tokens is really clever, at least it proves it's not just for a quick scam. The airdrop launch combined with this multi-cycle price increase feels like there's something substantial behind it.
