We continue to listen to feedback that communities and users want low friction, high trust signals that help prevent egregious botting/sybil attacks.
Airdrop farming is not always bad - let's keep the rewards in the hands of real humans... not the bots.
Bots and fake accounts may boost your app’s short term metrics, which may help you raise money from unsuspecting investors.
But you’re just self sabotaging your project’s long term future by creating a low quality experience for your real human users.
