The Parcl protocol on Solana experienced a significant drop in total value locked (TVL) after conducting an airdrop of the PRCL token. Data from DefiLlama revealed that more than 40% of the TVL was withdrawn from the platform following the airdrop. The TVL of the Solana-based project plummeted from $185.6 million to $109 million after the airdrop on April 15. The Parcl team took action by penalizing addresses suspected of participating in a Sybil attack.
