Friend.tech Whale代币转储暴跌，引发空投挖矿担忧

5 月 3 日，最大的 Friend.tech (FRIEND) 鲸鱼“Murphys1d”在空投启动后抛售了超过 55,000 个 FRIEND 代币，导致代币价值暴跌 75%。这凸显了空投挖矿的问题，即用户利用空投奖励协议进行大规模抛售，导致合法用户恐慌。然而，专家认为，这种抛售最终可能会导致代币分配更加去中心化。

Friend.tech Whale Triggers Token Plunge, Exposing Airdrop Farming Concerns

Friend.tech鲸鱼引发代币暴跌，暴露空投挖矿问题

[May 03, 2024] - The cryptocurrency community was sent into disarray after the largest Friend.tech (FRIEND) whale, known as "Murphys1d," abruptly sold over 55,000 freshly minted FRIEND tokens immediately following the platform's airdrop launch on May 3rd.

[2024 年 5 月 3 日] - 最大的 Friend.tech (FRIEND) 鲸鱼（名为“Murphys1d”）在 5 月 3 日平台空投启动后立即出售了超过 55,000 个新铸造的 FRIEND 代币，导致加密货币社区陷入混乱。

This massive sell-off triggered a precipitous decline in the value of the FRIEND token, plummeting by over 75% from $3.26 to a mere $0.8095 within hours. While the price has since recovered somewhat to around $1.17 at the time of writing, the sudden token dump has sown chaos among users who were eagerly anticipating the token airdrop.

这次大规模抛售引发了 FRIEND 代币价值的急剧下跌，数小时内从 3.26 美元暴跌超过 75% 至 0.8095 美元。尽管在撰写本文时价格已有所回升至 1.17 美元左右，但突然的代币抛售在热切期待代币空投的用户中引发了混乱。

Complicating the situation, users like Luke Martin found themselves unable to claim their allocated airdropped tokens, exacerbating the frustration:

让情况变得更加复杂的是，像 Luke Martin 这样的用户发现自己无法领取分配的空投代币，这加剧了挫败感：

"Watching the value of my airdrop go from 7 figs to 5 figs in the span of 2hrs while I keep refreshing the page trying to claim….still can't claim.

“看着我的空投价值在 2 小时内从 7 无花果变成了 5 无花果，同时我不断刷新页面试图领取……仍然无法领取。

Meanwhile I gotta watch this guy cashout while my wallet won't even load.

与此同时，我得看着这个家伙兑现，而我的钱包甚至无法加载。

Adds insult to injury ¿¿¿¿¿¿"

更是雪上加霜”

Airdrop Farming: A Persistent Problem

空投农业：一个长期存在的问题

The actions of Murphys1d have brought to light the persistent issue of airdrop farming, whereby opportunistic actors exploit new protocols solely to profit from airdrop rewards. These individuals, often operating with an array of wallets, engage in mass sell-offs post-airdrop, intensifying sell pressure and creating panic among legitimate users.

Murphys1d 的行为暴露了空投挖矿这一长期存在的问题，机会主义行为者利用新协议只是为了从空投奖励中获利。这些人通常使用一系列钱包进行操作，在空投后进行大规模抛售，加剧了抛售压力，并在合法用户中造成恐慌。

The Friend.tech incident is not an isolated case. The Omni Network's OMNI token experienced a 55% drop in market capitalization within 18 hours due to similar airdrop farming practices. Similarly, Arbitrum's ARB token witnessed $3.3 million worth of tokens being consolidated by airdrop hunters in 2023, underscoring the ongoing challenge faced by new token launches.

Friend.tech 事件并非孤例。由于类似的空投挖矿做法，Omni Network 的 OMNI 代币市值在 18 小时内下跌了 55%。同样，Arbitrum 的 ARB 代币在 2023 年被空投猎人整合了价值 330 万美元的代币，这凸显了新代币发行所面临的持续挑战。

Short-Term Volatility and Long-Term Implications

短期波动和长期影响

Blockchain expert Anndy Lian suggests that while such sell-offs may induce short-term volatility, they could ultimately contribute to a more decentralized token distribution, reducing the risk of single entities exerting excessive control over a project.

区块链专家 Anndy Lian 表示，虽然此类抛售可能会引发短期波动，但它们最终可能有助于更加去中心化的代币分配，从而降低单个实体对项目过度控制的风险。

However, the long-term trajectory of the FRIEND token rests on the community's trust in Friend.tech and the team's handling of this crisis. As users anxiously monitor the situation and hope for a resolution, the aftermath of this episode serves as a stern reminder of the complexities and risks inherent in the burgeoning world of decentralized finance.

然而，FRIEND 代币的长期发展轨迹取决于社区对 Friend.tech 的信任以及团队对这场危机的处理。当用户焦急地关注局势并希望找到解决方案时，这一事件的后果严厉提醒人们，新兴的去中心化金融世界固有的复杂性和风险。
