By 2025, the airdrop farming scene has completely changed. The old methods of multiple accounts, bulk registration, and mass submissions have become completely ineffective, as project teams' anti-witchcraft technology has become more aggressive year by year. After suffering many losses, I realized that instead of setting up ten trash accounts, it's better to carefully craft one high-quality account. The Lista DAO project is a perfect example; it has completely changed the rules of the airdrop game. Now, it's all about quality— a real account's returns can far exceed the total of multiple bulk accounts.

The anti-witchcraft system looks complicated, but its core logic boils down to three points. First is address authenticity verification—project teams need to confirm you're a real person, not a bot; second is fund independence—no fund transfers or arbitrage signs between multiple accounts; third is operational diversity—your on-chain behavior should resemble that of a genuine user, not repetitive script execution. Behind the scenes, project teams use clustering algorithms to scan on-chain data. Any account that hits the rules—same IP, fund mixing, highly synchronized operation times—gets disqualified, losing airdrop eligibility.

I spent over half a year exploring Lista DAO. From initial setbacks to now mastering the techniques, I’ve summarized five key actions, each validated through practice.

**The first trick is complete isolation of devices and IPs.** Each wallet is paired with a dedicated phone, and the network uses residential IPs instead of data center IPs. This step is crucial because the anti-witchcraft algorithm most easily detects IP features. I also use fingerprint browsers to lock down browser environment parameters, ensuring every detail from system to network is unique.

**The second trick involves fund flow.** No transfers between wallets, and each account’s withdrawal address is completely independent. If funds need to be consolidated, it must go through different intermediary addresses—no direct links. Although this seems cumbersome, it’s about dispersing on-chain data enough to leave no trace.

**The third trick is disguising operational rhythm.** The core tasks are not completed all at once but spread over 3 to 7 days. For example, make a deposit today, borrow two days later, and perform some small actions the day after. This makes the operation curve look like a real user’s natural activity rather than a bot working at high efficiency.

**The fourth trick is enriching on-chain interactions.** Besides core project tasks, I also perform small transfers, financial redemptions, and other operations to make the address’s on-chain record appear active and diverse. This greatly reduces the risk of being flagged as a farming account.

**The fifth trick seems the simplest but is actually the easiest to overlook—**mingling in the community. Join the official Discord, participate in discussions, ask questions periodically, and occasionally engage in conversations. It’s not about learning anything specific but about tagging the account as a real user, providing the algorithm with an additional positive signal.

During practical operation, you must also avoid a few pitfalls. Never use bulk email or social media accounts; try to use real phone numbers. Don’t leverage a single account excessively, as it’s easy for the system to recognize as a professional manipulator. Also, avoid third-party scripts—automation tools are a primary focus of anti-witchcraft detection. Manual operation is slower but far more stable and secure than automation.

This set of rules may seem restrictive, but in reality, it helps eliminate most superficial competitors. Those who persist actually earn more airdrops with fewer accounts. To survive long-term in this field, it’s not about brute force or quantity but patience and attention to detail. Fine-tuning account management has become standard in this round of airdrops. Whoever masters this methodology will be able to stand firm in the airdrop distribution.
