X-explore issued an article stating that in the Celestia airdrop incident, the witch group controlled 40.8% of the total Celestia airdrop addresses.
Large witch groups (groups holding more than 20 addresses) had 27,090 airdrop addresses, accounting for 20.1% of the total, and received a total of 5.22 million TIA. Regular witch groups (those holding between 5 and 20 addresses) have 27,907 airdrop addresses, accounting for 20.7% of the total. A total of 6.65 million TIAs were received. In addition, there are 51,494 addresses that do not belong to a certain witch group, accounting for 38.2% of the total. These addresses received a total of 17.05 million TIA. To sum up, the number of witch group addresses that received airdrops is almost the same as that of ordinary users. The largest Witch team held 300 airdrop addresses and received a total of 77,391 TIA.
It is reported that the Witch Group was one of the first users to conduct large-scale transactions on Celestia. They conducted large-scale transactions as early as the 4th block, that is, before the transaction surge after many CEXs opened recharges. Not only do they possess automated scripting capabilities, but they can also run multiple programs simultaneously, indicating the advanced technological capabilities of some witch groups.
