- A digital farm managed by 30,000 phones that steals airdrops from new blockchain projects.
- Experts call for linking rewards to real digital identities to combat rising fraud.
In the background of the cryptocurrency world, a hidden battle is taking place that most users are unaware of, a battle not fought on exchanges or in forums, but in electronic farms run by thousands of remotely controlled smartphones.
At the heart of this strange scene, 'Cory Wilton', founder of Mirai Labs, emerged to unveil one of the largest fraud networks in the airdrop world, comprising over 30,000 smartphones designed to hijack rewards intended for real users.
From community reward to organized fraud game
The idea of the airdrop was born in the embrace of the cryptocurrency community as a noble initiative to honor the early users of new projects. However, what started as a token of loyalty has turned into an electronic battleground, as digital whales and organized robots found a golden opportunity to make huge profits without any intention of contributing or genuinely interacting.
The Uniswap platform was the first spark in 2020 when it distributed free tokens to its early users, inspiring hundreds of projects to replicate the experiment. However, over time, the airdrop became more of a marketing tool than a community reward. It wasn't long before 'airdrop farming' emerged as one of the most dangerous forms of organized fraud.
