Do airdrop projects exploit user referral reward mechanisms to create fake activity? Yes, some projects inflate engagement by incentivizing referrals with generous rewards, encouraging users to recruit others artificially. This can lead to bots or fake accounts flooding the system, as seen in cases like the CremePieSwap scam, where referral bonuses masked fraudulent intent. Legitimate airdrops aim to build genuine communities, but fake ones prioritize short-term hype, often promising unrealistic returns. Users may unknowingly amplify these schemes by sharing links, boosting visibility while scammers siphon funds or data. The phenomenon distorts project metrics, misleads investors, and undermines trust in airdrops. To avoid this, research project credibility, verify official channels, and be wary of overly lucrative referral offers—true value lies in authentic participation, not manufactured activity. 0 reply
