It would be nice to consider from linea team to reward strong holders of another layers 2. Like zksync did. They boosted allocation a lot to people that holding arbitrum airdrop.
Linea could do that with zksync - if wallet holding more than 50% of airdrop then boost allocation x2 or something… Others layer 2 as well like scroll, taiko, mode, zklink, blast.
This is the best way imo to reward strong community, hodlers and people that not only farming projects but they are strong believers and they want allocation because they focus long term, not only quick profit and dumping. What you think about that?

Completely stupid idea. Linea is an independent chain. Imagine a guy who was ineligible to ZkSync airdrop due to their min tvl condition and now he observes that someone who received ZK drop can get more than him in Linea holding all other things equal. What if a person is a newbie ? What if a person’s journey has just started from Linea ? What if there’s guy who already got something in ZK and now gets more than the person in Linea holding all other parameters equal just because he used to farm other chain in the past? Only weak projects reward community for achievements in competitors’ products just to attract people from other networks and entice them to your product. This is not the level that Linea needs. You need to entice with a product, not with handouts that will be sold with 99% probability by hungry users of competitors who did not have time to sell their rewards at good prices in time and now regret it
It’s completely irrational and stupid. We a have a huge ecosystem with many people and projects deserving rewards. Rewarding those who didn’t sell due to personal price conviction, giving this out hypocritically under the guise of faith in the project, and not because the price has fallen so low that he doesn’t even want to sell and now pray the price to go up and cover all unrealized profit with the help of other blockchains.
I’m completely disagree. It reflects absolutely nothing but greed of those who didn’t sell and now make up stories to recover. There many people who transfered their allocation to CEX and never sold or sold and rebought later at lower price.

Zksync done exactly this. And imo it was fair - of course not for everyone, but it was… And I have friends who get max allocation and holding all zk tokens till now… That is the layal community…
So in your opinion is ok to sell at listing and buy at lower price? This cousing price dump after listing 
If you get airdrop and holding - then it is a proof that you believe in project - not only speculate at price and looking for quick money…

And this is ok for you?
So for what we need metamask card linked to our wallet? Without 3rd party? For what we need linea? We can swap tokens on cex And we can use cexes card to pay in real world… All what you wrote is opposite what linea is build for…
What’s wrong if the person sells the token in order to buy back more and still support the project ? If you have bearish expectations for the first days and completely bullish vision regarding long term it’s a quite organic behaviour. Anybody can sell and hold even more tokens in number denomitations, it means absolutely nothing until there are tokens of the projects in your portfolio
it cousing price dump! This is wrong…
Okay, I can paraphrase. A person sells his allocation on DEX. Then buys back more in a week. You see the difference? I personally don’t. But the person still holds the same $ denomitation drop he received but with more tokens bought at cheaper price. We’re not trading equity, it’s token, completely specualtive thing. You cannot expect all people to hold, it’s impossible
You don’t understand how market mechanisms work, sorry
I know that if all people thinking like you then they are selling - no matter what price is - its free tokens - i buy it at lower price… If everyone thinking like that then price rekt… This is simple…
I don’t understand how market mechanisms work? Supply and demand - that’s all.
So - IF all people selling airdrop to buy it at lower price what will price do? Tell me
And if price going only down - then how it look like? What people thinking?
of course i can’t, no one can, but reward people that not selling is not ok for you? Tell one bad thing for project regarding holding tokens…
What happend bad to project if you hold his token?
Of all l2 you chose zksync, lol i am amazed tbh. Bdw Linea is not a VC project so if there will be anyone getting boosts I’ll be metamask card users and users of other consensys products like phosphor

Yes, that’s what I like. Giving some extra rewards to Consensys products is okay, I’m totally fine with it. But giving more rewards for competitors and their holders who may don’t give a damn about Linea is ridiculous. Holding ZK isn’t increasing the chance this person will hold $LINEA. Maybe he’s bullish on ZkSync, but bearish on Linea, not only because it’s direct competitor of Zk.
Reward the ecosystem, reward the community generously, we have enough people on Linea to be rewarded, no need to appreciate those who’re outside of our community, especially prioritizing them. The history has showed us many times, that when you want to be kind and generous to others outside of your own community, nobody will be satisfied and community will be destroyed. When you try to please everyone, it will never end well.
That would only hinder new users who weren’t part of those airdrops. Moreover, Zksync was a project associated with a questionable airdrop, where just a day before its distribution, thousands of newly created wallets with no prior interaction received the maximum allocation.

I think this is a good idea. Of course only for boosting. It couldn’t be a main criteria
