Airdrops are a great way to attract people into newly-fond crypto projects. They're basically "free money" for not doing anything in return. Some projects have been widely successful after an airdrop, while others have gone all the way down the drain. There's been a upsurge of airdrop hunters looking to "milk rewards" from the system, effectively dumping all of their coins/tokens on the market for profit. While most projects have been quite flexible in the eligibility for an airdrop, one project decided to take the stand by adopting measures to prevent abuse. Parachain Swap's airdrop has been quite controversial as it only rewarded a small portion of its users. The vast majority of the people weren't rewarded (especially airdrop hunters), resulting in a decline of the token's price.

Do you think it's a good idea to penalize airdrop hunters? Will this do more harm or good to the adoption of crypto/Blockchain tech? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I don't think that it's a good idea.

The more evenly the rewards are distributed, the more likely there is community hype and liquidity around the project, and the more chances of the project actually being successful.

Makes no sense to penalise those who helped your brand to get to where it is.

I also think the same, bad idea blaming and penalize airdrop hunters. Because from the start the project team decided to promote projects through
the airdrop program. So they have to know the risk that the airdrop hunters will sell the coins they get as soon as possible. Therefore the project
team must have careful planning, do not allocate supply with a large percentage for airdrops. After all, if we think about it carefully, what makes
the price of a project fall is not because of airdrop hunters. But investors who buy these projects in large quantities, if they sell them will make
the price of the coins dump.

After all, airdrops are the most effective way to attract many people's interest in a new project, the most important thing is to distribute airdrops properly. Due to the fact that humans really like free money, what is needed is to limit the coins allocated for airdrops, after that set the airdrop distribution schedule, don't be too quick to share airdrops. If the project team do an airdrop program with careful calculations, there is a possibility
that the promotion of the project will be successful.
