ZRO Token Airdrop: Eligibility Criteria and Checker
LayerZero Foundation says that it was difficult to implement Airdrop events correctly.
The LayerZero foundation wrote that “While the ZRO distribution is not perfect, we think it is correct: rewarding durable users in a way that maximally aligns them with the LayerZero protocol going forward”.
The airdrop eligibility has 3 important outlines which are Sybil filtering, Request for Proposal (RFP), and eligibility criteria. Layerzero is taking important steps to keep its tokens safe against attacks like Sybil. LayerZero wants to stop Sybil’s attackers as they create fake accounts to get more tokens. To prevent this, they are:
– Motivating people to report any activities that seem to be suspicious.
– People who help in catching these cheaters are given rewards.
– They are working with security experts to stop these attackers.
This will help distribute the tokens equally between genuine users.
LayerZero has distributed some tokens-
– 3% of the tokens were given to 211 people who gave ideas for improving the protocol.
– Some airdrops were given to users who made transactions on protocol before a specific date (snapshot).
– All users will get a minimum number of 25 ZRO tokens and a maximum of tokens up to 5,000.
– The amount for receiving the tokens is based on their paid fees.
In an X post, Pellegrino said “All unclaimed tokens at the end of the claim period will be redistributed to those who did claim based on LZ Core allocation”.
ZRO, which is a native token of LayerZero, highlights an important event in the development of Blockchain ecosystems. It has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. ZRO helps the LayerZero ecosystem in making cross-chain transactions. It takes important steps to stop Sybil attacks and to distribute the tokens equally, this makes ZRO a promising innovation in the Blockchain ecosystem.
