Eligibility, Snapshots & Sybil Rules
What Is Sybil in Airdrops?
Understand what sybil behavior means in airdrops and why projects try to filter duplicated or artificial wallet activity.
Airdrop map
What this means
Sybil behavior usually means one person or entity using many wallets or accounts to appear like many independent users.
Core ideas
What to understand first
- Projects may want to reward real users, not artificial wallet farms.
- Sybil filters look for repeated patterns.
- Multiple wallets are not always sybil, but suspicious patterns can be flagged.
- Disqualification rules vary by project.
Safety checklist
What to check before acting
- Read the campaign's anti-sybil rules.
- Avoid automated or spam-like behavior.
- Do not assume wallet count alone increases rewards.
- Use genuine activity where possible.
Risk note
Common mistakes to avoid
- Wallets can be disqualified after months of activity.
- Sybil rules may be unclear or retroactive.
- Trying to game campaigns can waste time and gas.
