LayerZero CEO: Airdrop Eligibility Criteria Focus on Genuine, Persistent Users and Fair, Optimal Distribution
LayerZero CEO Bryan Pellegrino stated on the X platform, “Here’s how we currently consider eligibility from a broad perspective. The focus is clearly on genuine users and the most fair, widest distribution of highly consistent, most persistent users. To a large extent, this is inspired by the results of witching processes, with any true final definition coming directly from LayerZero, not me. Initial wallets number 6 million, with 3 million wallets having less than 5 transactions. These wallets will be seriously considered. All transactions below $1.00 are downweighted by 80%, but still calculated as 1/5 of a normal transaction, as are all ‘worthless NFTs.’ Transactions are then normalized based on protocol fees, with the minimum value being the eligibility criteria, and the maximum value/ceiling based on early usage multiplier. In summary: eliminate witches, eliminate junk transactions, semi-linear ceiling, reward early users, reward persistent users, reward all non-standard protocol interactions, such as LPs, through RFPs, focus on the fairest and most optimal distribution of the protocol.”
