Vitalik: Airdrops are an ideal use case for testing blockchain identity and credential frameworks
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, stated on X that airdrops are an interesting initial use case for verifying zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), blockchain identity, credentials, and proof frameworks. He pointed out that the goals of airdrops include: distributing to random users who are community members rather than immediately selling, rewarding project contributors, maintaining relative fairness (allowing for some degree of differentiation), and resisting malicious extractive arbitrage behavior. Vitalik believes that these are precisely the characteristics that identity, credentials, and proof frameworks aim to achieve, so using token issuance as an initial use case for these frameworks to be tested and optimized, especially in adversarial environments, is a very reasonable approach.
