What is a Sybil Attack?

A Sybil attack is when a single user creates multiple fake identities (wallets or accounts) to unfairly exploit rewards meant for multiple real users.

In Web3 reward-based ecosystems, this can lead to:

  • Fake campaign engagement

  • NFT farming by bots

  • Unfair distribution of resources

  • Damage to project reputation

  • Loss of community trust
