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. Smiley
That's right, the most forgiving way to attract people into crypto is with the airdrop program, there are not many tasks and rules to do to get the prize, but many airdrops now fail to run it, so people's trust is getting less and less to follow, or many airdrops give prizes do not match the rules given, not to mention talking about slow distribution and not being accommodated perfectly, many airdrops distributing prizes when tokens are priceless, this is a problem that makes people even more disinterested.
