Thanks for reporting sybil farming addresses!

For our OP airdrop to early traders and LPs, we chose to exclude addresses with less than $10 in trading volume. This simple rule excluded thousands of clear sybil addresses from the drop.

It’s clear for any future program that we would need a good strategy to filter out these large networks of bots that effectively steal rewards from real users.

Thank you! What action do you see them performing that is β€œSybil” in your mind?

Same transactions at the same time most transactions and the same no money in the wallets

This is pretty good stuff.
I did a check on the wallet assets (of only a few), and I found that a handful of them have an ens, which is kinda humanizing but they have tons of tiny coins all valued between 0.05 USD - 0.30 USD. These low holdings of coins between from Magic to OP. This is very difficult work but I definitely see robotic activity after looking at several of them. As you update this list, I’ll continue to use Zapper to look at these list and scan through.
