In the crypto world, if you want to make money, I've developed my own approach—Buddhist-style airdrop farming. Take my experience from the past seven weeks, for example; I operated ten accounts simultaneously and ended up earning more than twelve thousand, with each account yielding results, the most from one account airdropping 8,178 tokens. This income is enough to cover my little one's milk powder for more than half a year, and even my husband looks at me differently. I feel more confident and motivated.
However, looking back, I was completely a novice when I first started airdrop farming, knowing nothing about the witch hunt mechanisms and relying solely on luck. As I learned and practiced, I gradually understood the nuances. Project teams have become increasingly strict in screening witch addresses, especially after the Sign airdrop incident, which has sparked much discussion.
The success of my ten accounts actually involved many accidental factors:
All manual, pace at will: I won't use scripts for bulk operations, relying entirely on manual work. Many projects don't require complex tools; opening multiple browser windows is quite simple for beginners, and after learning from teachers a couple of times, one can get started. My operations are relatively relaxed; I do it whenever I have time, and if I'm busy, I set it aside, and even if my child causes a fuss, I might not even bother to open my wallet.
Project diversity, unconventional: I never fixate on one project; once my interest wanes, I move on to the next. The projects I interact with in one wallet are fragmented, but this kind of 'chaos' aligns with the genuine user behavior that project teams expect. They want to reward real users who participate in the project and contribute, not studios or script operators that generate interaction data in bulk. They use various methods to filter real users, such as:
Observe whether interaction behavior is in bulk: If a batch of addresses performs exactly the same interaction in a short period, it can easily be identified as script activity. By staggering the time and steps and interacting freely, I appear more like a real user.
Check whether there is widespread interaction across multiple chains: If all accounts focus solely on one chain or one project, it will attract attention. I appropriately try out multiple projects and cross-chain interactions to make my account behavior richer and more natural.
Track the source of the first transfer of the wallet and address connections: Project teams will look at the source of the wallet address's first transfer and whether there are connections between addresses. All my funds are withdrawn from exchanges to the account, avoiding transfers between wallet addresses, ensuring address isolation.
Pay attention to IP addresses: Although few project teams check IPs, if you have multiple accounts, it's still advisable to prepare an IP. My time and energy are limited, so sharing one IP among two or three accounts can reduce costs and avoid total loss.
For beginners, the key to avoiding witch hunts is to understand the principles and then take correct actions. I advise beginners not to pursue scale; quality is more important. Instead of opening dozens of accounts to farm in bulk, it's better to carefully nurture a few accounts and maintain them seriously. Don’t trust 'quick scripts'; no matter how smart the script, it can't compete with the project team's data analysis abilities. Once marked, the entire address history can be 'blacklisted.'
The wallets I commonly use now are MetaMask, Rabby, and Ouyi Wallet. MetaMask is convenient and stable for switching addresses; Rabby allows for interaction previews and has high security; Ouyi Wallet supports multiple chains, suitable for new projects/cross-chain operations.
The competition for airdrop farming is becoming increasingly fierce, and there's a significant information gap; sometimes I have no idea which direction to take. It's exhausting to follow several rounds without reward; that feeling of helplessness is truly tormenting. Therefore, I now value stability and long-term accumulation more, not seeking to get rich quickly, but aiming for steady and small gains, finding the right rhythm for gradual and continuous progress.
