Airdrop design - Maximizing User Sentiment & Chain Success

why does someone with 11k lxp get the same amount of tokens as someone with 8k lxp?

@Loza - Agree with your thinking that the amount given to low LXP wallets there is too high.

After all of our discussions it really makes good sense to set the hard cut at 1500 minimum. Anyone who did most of park and culture would still make it, or even just going really hard on Park and doing pretty much everything.

We’re going to forever disagree about mega tiers at the top lol.

@Thisu - Hybrid was how I envisioned my tiers also, although it may not have been entirely clear. I tried to say that by saying, linear inside each tier. I should probably do a new clear write up as well for both of my proposed scenarios, mostly linear with bonuses system & hybrid tiered system.

@Kanenz - Super well laid out graphics there, however its not really clear what math you are applying behind the scenes, it would be helpful to see what kind of multipliers you are applying to each tier vs having to reverse engineer it all to figure it out. Can you provide what these multipliers are for clarify? Also I think we can very safely say the sub 1k tier shouldn’t exist at all haha. Maybe we should all just assume 1500 minimum as a hard cut level in our examples because it really does make a lot of sense.

It looks like each tier is roughly getting around a 1.5x multiplier, thus the highest tiers over about 6k are starting to get a little high. I do like the hybrid approach with linear inside each tier, that was what I had in mind if a tier system as well.

Also I think a gas bonus should apply to everyone that qualifies for pre-dencun trx, not just super high lxp holders, and the gas bonus can be scaled linearly according to how much gas a user spent on chain in and out of the voyages to account for all pre-dencun transactions. A cap can also be set in case some wallets for whatever reason were doing arbitrage or other things which is common so they don’t get nearly everything haha, otherwise they might.

@kurz they wouldn’t in his model, they would get more. He explained that with his 2k lxp math, essentially inside each tier is a multiplier, a user’s actual lxp amount is multiplied by that multiplier. So someone with 11k would get nearly 30% more vs 8k, and they would both get the same tier multiplier basically as well if I’m understanding correctly.

Do you want to split 1000 wallets this seems unreasonable! There will be too many tiers and too few beneficiaries, and we all know that they are all very active and well-engaged in the Linea ecosystem.

The difference in this tier is based on the number of NFTs purchased in the secondary market. Having too many tiers will lead to more mistakes and in the end the airdrop will be a failure.

It was possible to reach between 9-10k LXP if you completed every Linea and partner campaign and also was a winner of the Entertainment Festival which was real hard to achieve.

Gaining a “Linea Top Gamer” or “Linea Pro Gamer” title meant you had to be within the top 400 among several 100k players doing txs with 1-2$< gas, It was not an easy feat.
Linea Top Gamer: 1800 LXP
Linea Pro Gamer: 1350 LXP

This was at a time many were reluctant to participate in the ecosystem due to high gas fees, I can tell you this campaign went under the radar because threadoors didn’t even bother to post about Linea at that time. Cutting off the top tier at 8k would literally mean overlooking and refusing the efforts of these die-hard users and putting them to the same level as a user with 8k LXP.

TLDR: Not everyone above 8k LXP threshold is an NFT buyoor

According to this model, 8k lxp and 10k lxp do not get the same amount of tokens.
Yes they both fall into the same tier, but inside there is still a linear multiplier implemented, which increases the reward of the holder of 10k lxp relative to 8k

I agree 100% with you on the 1500 cut because even if someone joined late and do the last two voyages which were very simple with minimal effort and low gas, the person will still make it above 1500. So it’s fair.
As for the math behind the scene, everything is detailed in the writeup.
As I said the 1.5x multiplier can be applied to x number of transactions before the upgrade or x amount of lxp, I only used ≥ 6,000 LXP as an example.

My friend, I suggest you somehow remove or update the sub 2k ones from the list.400 million coins is too much for these tiers.that means half of the airdrop.if you edit your table it will be much more spacious and acceptable.i also suggest you remove some coins for LXPL and other bonus rewards.it doesn’t look realistic in its current form.
I appreciate what you are doing, take this as just a suggestion.

You’re right, these people shouldn’t get that much % supply drop considering how easy it was to get 2k lxp

Please use layerzero Sybil filter and get rid off blacklisted wallets. LayerZero Labs Identifies around 800,000 Potential Sybil Addresses in Public List. Also given all sybil users an opportunity to self-report within the next 14 days in return for 15% of their intended allocation, no questions asked. @nakedwinnie @Chinzilla

When addressing concerns about ≥ 2000 LXP holders and whether their share is “too much,” the distribution logic is clarified as follows:


Why ≥ 2000 LXP Holders Deserve Their Share:

  1. Majority Group Contribution:

    • Wallets with ≥ 2000 LXP represent 18% of the total wallets (232,091 out of 1,297,121).
    • Allocating 20% of the tokens acknowledges their central role in sustaining the ecosystem.
  2. Proportionality to Effort:

    • While achieving ≥ 2000 LXP may have been relatively attainable, it still required active participation over time.
  3. Ensuring Fairness and Inclusion:

    • A significant portion of wallets falls within this category, and excluding them or significantly reducing their share would disproportionately reward either minimal contributors or a small group of high contributors, undermining fairness.
    • Allocating 20% of the tokens ensures that those who contributed consistently at scale are equitably rewarded.
    • This range (≥ 2000 LXP) reflects moderate contributors whose efforts cannot be ignored without alienating the majority.
  4. Supporting Ecosystem Sustainability:

    • Rewarding the majority (≥ 2000 LXP holders) promotes fairness and ensures they remain engaged in future activities.
    • Their consistent contributions were instrumental in driving the ecosystem’s visibility and expansion.

Why 20% Allocation is Justified:

  • The assumption that achieving ≥ 2000 LXP was entirely effortless overlooks the time, effort, and consistency required by this group.
  • Allocating 20% of the tokens strikes a balance by fairly rewarding this majority while avoiding excessive favoritism toward either lower-tier contributors or a small elite group.

Frankly, I still don’t understand. I can’t figure out the logic of allocating so many tokens to the lowest tier.
Here’s what I’m saying. I don’t know why we need to reward industrial farmers.They can be controlled in many ways and real users can be distinguished.Instead of rewarding them directly with such a high amount, more rewards can be given to users in the middle tier.These people’s on-chain transactions are also looked at and more rewards can be added as a bonus.It is not a logical behaviour to give high rewards or allocate high shares to those who leave the network.It means a token thrown away.

Answer: Explanation of Multipliers for Each Tier

To clarify the logic and math behind the token distribution and provide transparency, here’s a detailed breakdown of the multipliers applied to each tier based on the provided table.


Step 1: Define the Base Tier

The < 1,000 LXP tier is selected as the base tier because:

  1. It has the smallest allocation of tokens per wallet.
  2. It represents the starting point for comparisons.

Step 2 : Tokens Per Wallet




It is worth noting that the gas fee multiplyer (1.5) has not yet been effected into the calculation, since we don’t have data on that

Step 4: Multiplier Table

Here’s the complete table of multipliers for each tier:

LXP Tier Tokens Per Wallet Multiplier
< 1,000 199.7 1.00
≥ 1,000 266.5 1.33
≥ 2,000 861.7 4.31
≥ 3,000 1,493.6 7.48
≥ 4,000 1,931.7 9.67
≥ 5,000 3,038.6 15.21
≥ 6,000 4,928.2 24.67
≥ 7,000 11,398.5 57.07
≥ 8,000 30,143.2 150.94

Step 5: Transparency in Scaling

The multiplier system ensures that:

  1. Progressive Rewards: Higher tiers receive progressively larger rewards, proportional to their contributions (LXP).
  2. Fairness: Lower tiers are still rewarded, but at a scaled-down rate that reflects their smaller contribution.
  3. Clarity: By tying multipliers to tokens per wallet, participants can easily see how their tier affects their rewards.

Explanation of Percentage Distribution for Each Tier Based on Participants

The percentage of tokens allocated to each tier is derived from a combination of participant distribution and fairness considerations. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:



Step 2: Adjust Proportions for Fair Distribution

While the proportion of wallets provides a baseline, the share of tokens must reflect both the number of participants in each tier and the relative contribution level (LXP).

  1. Lower Tiers (< 1,000 and ≥ 1,000):

    • These tiers have the largest number of wallets but represent the lowest contribution level per wallet.
    • Token shares are adjusted downward to ensure fairness, while still providing meaningful rewards to these participants.
  2. Mid-Tiers (≥ 2,000 to ≥ 5,000):

    • These tiers represent a moderate number of wallets and contributions.
    • Token shares are scaled proportionally to balance between rewarding these contributors and higher tiers.
  3. Higher Tiers (≥ 6,000 to ≥ 8,000):

    • These tiers have the fewest wallets but the highest contribution levels.
    • Token shares are adjusted upward to reflect their significant LXP and effort.

Step 3: Calculate Percentage Allocation

The percentage allocation for each tier is based on a weighted approach:
Percentage Share of Tokens = Proportional Wallet Share Scaling Factor

The scaling factor adjusts for the effort and contribution level of each tier. It increases for higher tiers to reflect their greater relative contribution.


Final Allocation (from Table):

Tier Number of Wallets Proportion of Wallets (%) Share of Tokens (%)
< 1,000 250,365 19.3% 5%
≥ 1,000 562,817 43.4% 15%
≥ 2,000 232,091 17.9% 20%
≥ 3,000 120,579 9.3% 18%
≥ 4,000 77,664 6.0% 15%
≥ 5,000 32,906 2.5% 10%
≥ 6,000 14,208 1.1% 7%
≥ 7,000 5,264 0.4% 6%
≥ 8,000 1,327 0.1% 4%


Formula for Scaling Factor:

The scaling factor compares the share of tokens allocated to a tier with its proportion of wallets:

Updated Example of Scaling Factors for Each Tier:

Using the correct formula, here are the calculations for each tier:


Purpose of the Scaling Factor
The scaling factor adjusts the proportion of wallets in each tier to reflect the effort, cost, or difficulty associated with reaching that LXP level. Higher tiers require significantly more effort to attain, so their share of tokens is increased accordingly.

  1. How the Scaling Factor Works
    The scaling factor is not a fixed number across all tiers; instead, it is determined by analyzing:

Effort Required for Each Tier:
Higher LXP levels require exponentially more effort or activity.
Scaling factors are larger for higher tiers to reward this effort.
Wallet Distribution:
The proportion of wallets in each tier decreases as the LXP level increases.
This ensures that smaller tiers (e.g., ≥ 7,000 or ≥ 8,000) receive a proportionally larger share of tokens.strong text

Explanation of Scaling Factor:

The scaling factor shows how much more tokens each wallet in a given tier receives relative to the proportion of wallets in that tier.

  • For example: In the ≥ 8,000 tier, there are very few wallets (0.1% of total wallets), but they are allocated 4% of the tokens. This results in a scaling factor of 40, meaning these wallets are rewarded 40 times more tokens per wallet compared to their proportional share of the wallet base.

According to this proposal, the minimum LXP to qualify is 1,500, this is what the community wants which I believe is highly botted. However, stating that 20% is too much for the ≥ 2,000 LXP tier is something I disagree with. There are a significant number of participants in this range, and the essence of the airdrop is to decentralize the token while maintaining fairness. If you carefully consider the reasons outlined in the proposal, you’ll understand the rationale behind this allocation. I’ve already responded to @Kycper to clarify these reasons and why this approach aligns with the goals of fairness and decentralization.

The range I mentioned was for under 2k, but thanks again for your efforts. I can say that it is the best work I have seen on the forum.

Great job but I think we should increase the qualification level to 2k-2.5k lxp. Most of sybils joined at the end of linea park campaign and suply on airdrop is limited…

I think it’s a good idea to give them a second round of airdrop. If they’re really trying, they won’t object.

Man you are a genius! I don’t know why didn’t you present this in a separate topic. If team apply what you’re suggesting the airdrop would definitely be a huge success. However, I disagree with the reward for those holding less than 2000 LXP these rewards should instead go to liquidity providers.

This way the share of those who engage well in the Linea ecosystem won’t be affected.

Great post mate! Your analysis is thorough and well-presented. However, I think the minimum LXP threshold for eligibility should be 2000 LXP.

Even if a user successfully completes only Layer3 Linea park campaign’s quests, he should get at least 1500+ LXP. So, 2000 LXP will be idle for eligibility.

Also, Linea Dencun phrase will play a major role and deciding factor including gas fee spends.
