XLM airdrop is no joke. many of my friends get XLM worth $ 25. but yes it requires KYC, it aims to prevent multiple accounts from 1 person, and create an airdrop that is fair to everyone.
When it comes to fair distribution then kyc procedure will surely give that but for few dollars i wont take the risk.
I passed KYC more than two weeks ago and got no XLM. Is this airdrop real at all?
Did you tried to check your XLM blockchain balance? If not then sending out ticket wont cost too much time.
