- zkSync was criticized for inadequate anti-Sybil measures in recent ZK token airdrop.
- Adam Cochran highlights flaws in zkSync’s airdrop criteria and planning.
- Nansen clarifies that it did not advise on ZK token airdrop allocations.
Prominent analysts and Ethereum users have criticized the recent token airdrop by layer-2 scaling solution zkSync, citing concerns over uneven distribution and inadequate protection against Sybil attacks, a common form of blockchain manipulation.
zkSync previously announced that 695,232 wallets would be eligible for its ZK token airdrop. To ensure fair distribution and prevent Sybil attacks – where one entity uses multiple wallets to exploit airdrops – ZkSync established seven eligibility criteria. However, these measures have been widely criticized as insufficient.
Adam Cochran, a partner at Cinneamhain Ventures, expressed concern, stating: “I love the zkSync guys, but that was not a well-planned airdrop from a Sybil perspective. Those criteria are easy to not hit as a real user, easy to hit as a farmer, and had no anti-Sybil program.”
