Airdrop Defense Against Witchcraft: Essential for Scientists - Analysis of Multi-Address Recharge Features of Major CEXs Binance, OKX, and Bitget

Author: Luojia Micro

The Celestia (TIA) airdrop was officially distributed on October 31, and many on-chain users received TIA token airdrops, with some users having multiple wallet addresses that also received airdrops. How can multiple addresses' TIA tokens be consolidated without being classified as a witch account? Can multi-address deposits effectively avoid the project's anti-witch detection? Which exchange has a better multi-address deposit function? This article will detail the advantages and usage methods of multi-address deposits, teaching you how to properly claim airdrops.

1. Current Inconveniences in Claiming Airdrops

A so-called witch account refers to the behavior of one person controlling multiple on-chain addresses, masquerading as different users for interaction. For project teams, witch behavior actually undermines the decentralization process of the project. Therefore, during the airdrop distribution process, project teams may actively screen for witches or rely on community reports, leading to the cancellation of their airdrop eligibility.

In order to obtain more airdrop eligibility, a user typically frequently sends/consolidates assets from one address to multiple addresses, and such on-chain behavior can easily be classified as a witch account, resulting in the loss of airdrop eligibility.

2. Advantages of Multi-Address Deposits

To prevent the project's anti-witch detection, the most important thing is to ensure address isolation. Simply put, do not distribute/consolidate funds on-chain, but instead generate multiple different addresses through exchanges for consolidation to avoid this issue.

Thus, multi-address deposits have emerged, and their greatest advantage is the ability to generate different addresses for distributing/consolidating funds, avoiding being classified as a witch account by the project team. Additionally, multi-address deposits offer higher security and privacy. Each account (including sub-accounts) can add multiple independent deposit addresses. Each deposit provides multiple addresses for users to choose from, making it difficult to trace users' transactions, thereby enhancing privacy protection.

3. Comparison of Multi-Address Deposit Functions Across Exchanges

Currently, several mainstream centralized trading platforms have launched multi-address deposit functions, including Binance, Bitget, and OKX. Below is a comparison of the multi-address deposit functions of these exchanges.

The multi-address deposit functions of these three exchanges are quite similar. In comparison, Bitget supports more addresses per account, allowing a single account to generate 50 separate addresses, making it more convenient without the need to switch back and forth between multiple sub-accounts. In terms of the number of supported public chains, Bitget and OKX also offer more options, providing users with a wider selection. Therefore, if you have higher requirements for the number of addresses and supported public chains, it is recommended to choose Bitget and OKX.

Additionally, important anti-witch measures include: do not choose the same amount for transfers or withdrawals; use random amounts and random times; avoid multiple accounts performing the same on-chain interactions at the same time, such as multiple accounts interacting with the same few DeFi protocols in the same order within a day. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the chances of being classified as a witch, thereby greatly increasing the probability of receiving airdrops.
