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.
