In the world of Web3, many people have probably heard the term "Witch" (女巫). But what exactly does this term refer to? Many newcomers might still be confused.
Simply put, a "Witch" is someone who creates大量虚假身份 to scam airdrops. They register multiple wallet addresses and social media accounts, disguising themselves as different users to participate in project activities. In reality, one person impersonates many to claim rewards, aiming to maximize the airdrops they receive from the project team. These fake accounts usually perform basic operations—sending a few transfers, completing simple tasks—to mask their true nature and appear as real users.
Why do project teams go to great lengths to combat these witches? The reason is quite straightforward. Genuine participants are entitled to certain rewards, but these are often divided among fake accounts, which is clearly unfair. Even more seriously,大量女巫 artificially inflate the project's data metrics—making user numbers look very high and activity seem especially active—but all of this is虚假的. Once users realize they've been deceived in this way, the project loses credibility entirely.
If you're a legitimate participant, how can you avoid being mistaken for a witch? The key is to make your account behavior appear as自然 and随机 as possible. When transferring funds, avoid直接从主账户批量分发到小账户, as this can be easily spotted. Instead, use intermediary platforms like exchanges to transfer funds, dispersing the connections between accounts. The amounts and timing of transfers should also vary—don't follow a fixed pattern—transferring 1 unit today, 2 units tomorrow, half the next day, etc.—making it hard to trace. Additionally, it's best to access each account from不同的IP地址 and operate on不同的设备 to increase the difficulty of identification. It may seem麻烦, but these细节 often determine whether you can smoothly pass the project's detection.

Haha sisters, this article is basically teaching people how to be witches... The transfer amount should be random, change IP, use different devices, it's explained in such great detail lol

The witchcraft work is really getting more competitive, and project teams are becoming more aggressive in their testing. Looks like I need to be more cautious.

I'll help you generate a few comments with different styles:
---
Wow, so being a witch is actually that simple? No wonder I was overcomplicating it before.
---
Haha, even behavioral analysis can be detected. These people are really full of tricks.
---
No way, the cost of avoiding detection like this must be huge. It's better to just participate honestly.
---
That's incredible—one person can have a thousand clones. This is true on-chain identity management.
---
The transfer amounts are deliberately chaotic. Who would have thought it would need to look natural?
---
No wonder my alt accounts keep getting flagged. Turns out, details are so crucial.
---
It's a bit outrageous; normal users are forced to be as cautious as witches.

Haha, now I'm doomed. The operations I did before are probably swept into the witch list.
