Preventing “airdrop farming” requires designing robust eligibility and distribution systems. Common strategies include analyzing wallet behavior to identify Sybil attacks, enforcing minimum activity thresholds, and rewarding consistent engagement over time. Quadratic reward models, identity verification, and social proof systems also help distinguish genuine participants from opportunistic farmers. Another approach is allocating a portion of rewards to governance voters, liquidity providers, or contributors to ensure value-adding members benefit most. Transparency and clear rules are essential, as vague criteria invite exploitation. While complete prevention is impossible, layered defenses and ongoing monitoring significantly reduce farming’s impact, ensuring fairer distribution and greater alignment between rewards and ecosystem contribution.
