Gm Creators Can @zerufinance Make Airdrops Fairer? One big problem with crypto airdrops is that bots and fake wallets can take rewards meant for real users. This is where Zeru's zScore comes in. It uses wallet behavior to help projects understand which participants look genuine and which may be suspicious. But how well does it work? 1. REAL RESULTS FROM GAIB According to Zeru, comparing GAIB's V1 and V2 showed these changes: → 56% less allocation went to wallets identified as sybils. → Participation from higher quality wallets increased by 49%. → Selling pressure after distribution dropped by 50%. → Low quality wallet allocation fell from 21% to 13.5%. → High quality wallet allocation increased from 41.7% to 54.7%. → Average holding time increased from 9.8 to 12.6 days. These numbers suggest that behavioral scoring could help improve airdrop distribution. However, more details are needed to confirm how much of the improvement came directly from zScore. 2. TESTING AGAINST PAST AIRDROPS Zeru also tested its scoring system using historical data from EigenLayer, https://t.co/Lc9E4SVXqm, Optimism, and Elixir. The idea is simple. What would have happened if zScore had been used to filter wallets during those airdrops? These simulations help estimate the potential benefits, but they are not actual results from those past distributions. They show what might have happened, not what definitely would have happened. 3. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE Removing bots sounds good, but what happens when a genuine user is mistakenly flagged? A good scoring system must answer important questions: → How does it identify suspicious wallets? → How many real users could lose their rewards unfairly? → Can other researchers verify the results? → Does it identify suspicious behavior without automatically blocking everyone involved? Zeru's ZAPs framework also looks at how rewards should be attributed and how abusive behavior can be identified. This is related to making reward systems fairer, but it needs to be evaluated separately from zScore's airdrop filtering. MY TAKE Zeru is working on a real problem in Web3. Airdrops should reward genuine participation, not just people who create hundreds of wallets to claim more tokens. The reported GAIB results are promising, and the historical simulations offer another way to test the idea. But the real test is whether the system can reduce abuse without excluding legitimate users. Catching bots matters, but protecting genuine users matters just as much.
