LayerZero's currency is about to be released. What comes before the airdrop is the largest 'witch purge” in history?

On May 2, the cross-chain interoperability protocol LayerZero officially announced on X that the first snapshot (Snapshot #1) has been completed, and more information will be announced soon.

As one of the potential airdrop projects with the highest expectations in the community, LayerZero’s brief official announcement was also interpreted by the community as “the airdrop snapshot has been completed, and the big one is really coming.”

On May 3, Layer Zero officially announced again that it would release an important announcement that night to "demonstrate continued trust in community members." However, just as the community was speculating whether Layer Zero was about to announce detailed airdrop rules At that time, the final announcement issued by LayerZero seemed to give all users a heavy blow - the tokens were indeed going to be issued, but multiple rounds of witch screening activities were required first.

Airdrop Background: Six Million Users

According to the description in the official documentation, a key factor that LayerZero needs to consider when formulating a token distribution plan is how to determine the best quality user cluster. In LayerZero's view, the best users should be the most "persistent" users, and the so-called "persistence" is defined as those most likely to continue to use LayerZero in the future or continue their past usage habits User.

On the evening of May 2, LayerZero co-founder Bryan Pellegrino responded to the community on Last night’s official announcement revealed that LayerZero’s current total number of users is nearly 6 million addresses.

Based on past airdrop cases in the industry, millions of addresses are considered extremely large, so for LayerZero, it is necessary to reduce them through mechanism design or witch screening. The airdrop scope allows tokens to be distributed to potential users in a way that is more in line with the project team’s expectations.

Witch Judgment Rules

In the official information released by LayerZero, no specific screening rules have been given for the time being (possibly to prevent witches from self-examination, which will affect what will be mentioned below) "Self-exposure" stage effect), just listed several interactive behaviors that may be regarded as witches through examples. Bryan also provided some supplementary explanations on some cases on Personal X.

In short, interactions that may lead to an address being determined to be a witch include: Being a single person or entity using dozens, hundreds, or thousands of address for batch interaction;

· In order to carry out cross-chain transfer of NFT between different chains, a "worthless" NFT was cast;

· Used tools such as Merkly and L2 Commonly used "Witch brushing" applications such as Pass and L2 Marathon;

· In order to leave interaction records on multiple networks, a very small amount (such as 0.01 USD) is transferred back and forth between different chains;

· If you think you are a witch, you probably are one.

Regarding the use judgment of tools such as Merkly, some users questioned that this may lead to large-scale "manslaughter". Bryan replied: "If you are a real user, you have used it to reduce gas. If you use Merkly for your purpose, you may not be judged as a witch, but if you are just using Merkly to transfer assets back and forth, then you may be a witch."

Screening Rounds

According to official disclosures from LayerZero, this witch purge will be divided into three rounds.

The first round is the "self-exposure" stage, which will last for 14 days.

Users who think they are suspected of being witches can "self-expose" through the window provided by LayerZero at this stage to retain 15 % of the airdrop allocation.

It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate the studio's "self-exposure", LayerZero also "intimately" provides API tools for large-scale address submission.

The second stage is the "trial" stage. During this stage, LayerZero officials will conduct witch screening in accordance with specific rules. The screening results will be announced on May 18.

The address detected during this stage will not receive any airdrop allocation

. The third phase is the "mutual bite" phase, which will last from May 18 to May 31. LayerZero encourages community users to report witch behavior to each other.

Successful whistleblowers can be 10% of the airdrop share for the reporting address is allocated

. The largest witch purge in history?

Based on LayerZero’s disclosed schedule, the protocol’s governance tokens will most likely be officially issued after the “mutual bite” phase ends on May 31, so

can expect the issuance of tokens The date should be in June

.

For users who are looking forward to the LayerZero airdrop, they need to survive a full month of witch purging activities before receiving the final reward. Considering the huge user scale of LayerZero itself, coupled with the reusability of witch tags on different projects, LayerZero may not only be launching the largest witch purging campaign in history, but its screening results may also be It will have a profound impact on the potential airdrops of other projects.
