Vitalik Buterin Reveals Airdrops as the Future of Fair Token Distribution

  • Vitalik Buterin sees Airdrops as key to testing blockchain identity systems, ensuring tokens reach real community members.

  • The Ethereum founder advocates rewarding meaningful contributions through blockchain identity frameworks for fairer token distribution.

  • Discounted token sales can drive genuine participation, ensuring buyers have a vested interest, says Buterin.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin suggests using airdrops — the free distribution of tokens — to test blockchain-based identity systems. These systems can ensure tokens go to real community members, reward project contributors, maintain fairness, and prevent exploitation. He also proposes selling tokens at a discount to valuable contributors as another way to distribute tokens more evenly, making sure buyers have a real stake in the project’s success.

One related point is that giving tokens away for free is not the only "form factor" that makes sense for this: you can also do discounted sales.
