The Solana ecosystem's SKR token airdrop controversy: a user shared a screenshot of claiming the airdrop without caution, "bragging" on social media about obtaining 4.5 million $SKR through 6 Seeker phones. As a result, the official detected abnormal behavior patterns, and the account was permanently banned. This case serves as a warning to all participants about the most overlooked risk in Web3 airdrops—information leakage.

Recently, Solana Mobile announced that the SKR token distribution query feature is now fully operational. Users holding Seeker smartphones can now directly view their SKR allocation during Season 1 through the built-in Seed Vault Wallet. The official claiming window is set for January 21, giving all eligible participants ample time to prepare.

So, how exactly is this distribution calculated? The core logic from the official side is as follows: the entire SKR allocation is based on a comprehensive score considering the user's Seeker phone usage frequency, interaction depth within the Solana dApp Store, and participation in on-chain activities. More importantly, all data must pass through strict anti-sybil mechanisms to prevent fake accounts and multi-account arbitrage.

SKR is divided into five levels: Sovereign level corresponds to 750,000 SKR, Luminary level corresponds to 125,000 SKR, and so on, decreasing sequentially. The higher the level, the more active and contributing the user was during Season 1. However, the lesson from this user is that multi-account operations are prone to trigger anti-sybil alerts, and exposing holding information online directly breaks anonymity, leading to dual judgments of abnormality by the system and manual review.

Oh no, another greedy person got caught. Dare to go around shouting with 6 phones... --- This guy is really brave, doesn't he know to shut up with 4.5 million coins? --- The anti-witch mechanism is designed to combat multi-account arbitrage; it should be banned. --- The biggest lesson in Web3 is to keep quiet. Brothers, don’t post about making money on social media. --- Permanent ban, serves him right. Who's to blame for his self-destructive behavior? --- 6 Seeker phones... that’s just too outrageous. The official response was quite quick. --- Data leaks are indeed everyone’s blind spot. How could they not think of being more discreet? --- From this case, it’s clear that airdrops on the chain are transparent. No matter how clever, you can’t evade system detection. --- A Sovereign level with 750,000 coins—can't help but show off, but is it worth it? --- Really, the biggest taboo in Web3 is showing off. This guy just gave everyone a lesson.

Oh man, this guy is really something. He’s bragging about screenshots with 6 phones. Isn’t this just inviting trouble? Is he stupid? Gets a big win and wants to show off, only to get permanently banned directly. Multiple accounts are already prone to issues, and he still has to go online and shout about it. This anti-witch mechanism really doesn’t play around. Good morning everyone, remember this: the first lesson in Web3 is to keep your mouth shut. Don’t reveal everything. That’s why I never show my holdings online. Staying low-key and earning quietly is the way to go. This should have been handled earlier. While cracking down on fake accounts, it also conveniently educates some foolish users. SKR’s recent operation is still meticulous. Being able to prevent the witch mechanism shows the project team is serious about their work. Copycats should look at this case. Don’t blame the official; if you mess up, who’s to blame?

Haha, another smart guy got exploited. The multiple accounts operation on Seeker is really obvious. --- Why doesn't this guy learn his lesson? Doesn't he understand the basic principles of the crypto world? --- So now the routine is to stay silent after getting an airdrop, huh? Got it. --- Even with such strict anti-witch mechanisms, he still dares to post pictures. Serves him right for being banned. --- 6 phones and 4.5 million SKR... how big must his heart be? --- Basically, greed caused the problem. Just honestly claiming your share—can you really die from that? --- I think the permanent ban penalty is pretty harsh; it’s definitely a risk warning. --- I feel a bit sorry but mostly think he deserves it. Bragging online always invites hatred.

People are just greedy. After taking 4.5 million, they still have to show it off. Isn't this just courting death? Really, anonymity is a matter of life or death in the crypto world... Six phones and still have the nerve to post screenshots. The anti-witch mechanism is designed for people like you. Permanent ban—just like that, it's all gone in one go. Seeing this kind of news too often, when will you finally learn your lesson?

Hmm... this guy is truly a living example of what not to do, always showing off for no reason. A classic case of being naive but wealthy, with the official crackdown on anti-witch activities so strict, yet he still dares to operate six accounts aggressively. This is the cost of greed. He could have enjoyed the gains but insisted on grabbing everything. 450 million tokens are gone just like that. I feel bad for him. It seems that staying low-key is the way to go; in Web3, you gotta make big money quietly.

Oh man, this guy really knows how to show off. Took 4.5 million and still insists on flaunting it. --- Six phones acting as witches, caught by anti-witch hunters. Serves him right. --- A wake-up call, brothers. Can't keep your mouth shut, and now all your coins are gone. --- Human nature, with a little money, everyone wants to post on social media. Anti-witch hunters have been waiting for this. --- A permanent ban is the only fair punishment. The rules are so clear, yet you still come back. --- Compared to SKR, I'm more interested in how to avoid anti-witch detection. Seeking advice from everyone. --- This is called greed that knows no bounds—multi-accounting is inherently a sin. --- Being low-key is the way to go. Those who know how to play keep quiet and collect coins. --- A full 4.5 million, just gone like that. It hurts to see. --- Distributed cheating and centralized exposure—how could the authorities possibly let you off?
