In the world of crypto airdrops, a new form of industrial-scale abuse has emerged, particularly driven by Chinese airdrop grinders. These abusers use highly automated systems to farm airdrops on a massive scale, taking advantage of insider knowledge and tech-savvy tools to claim a disproportionate share of tokens.

One popular method involves using apps like AdsPower or MultiLogin, which allow users to create and manage thousands of unique browser profiles, each with a distinct IP and wallet address. These profiles then simulate real users participating in airdrop tasks, from following social media accounts to signing up for newsletters, creating the illusion of widespread engagement.

The real power lies in automation. Using BAS (Browser Automation Studio) or Python scripts, grinders can quickly complete repetitive tasks across thousands of accounts simultaneously. Combined with VPNs and proxy servers, they make their operations appear decentralized and anonymous, outsmarting most anti-fraud systems.

While these methods are highly effective, they unfairly tip the scales, leaving genuine participants with much smaller rewards. As airdrop farming continues to grow, projects will need to find better ways to combat these industrial grinders.
