Airdrop design - Maximizing User Sentiment & Chain Success

It stopped at 5k lxp because this is the highest lxp value it has.
I’m not judging him, but what he’s doing is exactly jealousy.
He thinks that people with lxp higher than 5k don’t put in much effort, and he argues that the highest allocation should be in this region, forgetting that these are almost certainly the most loyal users and the OGs who still cover the bulk of the on-chain activity.

This can only be assessed on-chain. If a person simply earned a bunch of LXP by purchasing Testnet NFTs, it is hardly possible to speak of his loyalty.

Even if you bought 1 million alpha nft, you could earn 3k lxp.
You cannot blame the people who acted on the team’s promise that NFTs purchased from the secondary market for 1 year would turn into points.
So what, we have to blame these people for being loyal lol.

I didn’t blame anyone, lol. Please read my post with an open mind. I have nothing against drops for these or any other NFTs.

I’m just saying that the specific case you described doesn’t say anything about loyalty.

No one has bound anyone to do less.
Anyone who cares about the team’s suggestions, follows the rules, fulfils the tasks completely, participates in real on-chain transactions, supports projects and is active is loyal.
Someone who bought nft also spent labour and money.
The person who sells it has given up his right. It’s that simple.
There is no need to discuss this.
Even when there were no nft projects, those nft’s created a serious volume and provided liquidity transfers to the linea network.

Well, those who passed the testnet with their own hands are the loyal geeks. Some of them could have bought NFTs in addition. I am sure that most of those who simply bought them from the market have nothing to do with loyalty, but this does not mean that there are no loyal ones among them. Loyalty in this discussion is only a speculative question.

I agree. It wouldn’t be fair to reward only people who hoard nft. but it doesn’t mean that the motivation that drives them to do it is wrong. no one would buy something like that for no reason.
But the people who sold them seem to have already given up their rights. It would not be fair to reward them.

I completely agree with you—using a constant multiplier creates disproportion in the table. Instead, applying a Scaled Proportional Multiplier is the most effective solution to ensure fairness and balance.

Key Eligibility Criteria:
Minimum Requirement:

Only wallets with LXP ≥ 1,500 are eligible for token allocation.
Participants with LXP < 1,500 are not eligible to receive any allocation under this model.
1.5 Multiplier for Early Participants:

If you participated in the ecosystem before the protocol upgrade, a 1.5 multiplier will be applied to your LXP to help you reach the first tier (≥ 1,500), provided it makes you eligible.

Why This Approach Works:
Fairness to Early Participants:

By applying a 1.5 multiplier for participants prior to the protocol upgrade, we ensure that their efforts and contributions are recognized, helping them enter the first tier starting at ≥ 1,500.
Exclusion of Ineligible Wallets:

Excluding wallets with LXP < 1,500 ensures that the allocation is fair and rewards active participants with meaningful contributions to the ecosystem.

Why This Type of Multiplier is Best:
Balances Rewards Across Tiers:
The tier-specific multiplier ensures that higher tiers receive a fair boost for their efforts without creating disproportionate allocations. By applying a 1.04 multiplier to tiers ≥ 2,000, we provide a modest increase that reflects their additional contributions while maintaining fairness across all tiers.

Recognizes Early Contributions:
The 1.5 multiplier for early participants acknowledges those who supported the protocol before the upgrade, helping them qualify for the first tier and ensuring they are not left out despite historical disadvantages like higher gas fees or limited opportunities.

Acknowledged Active Participation:
By emphasizing the ≥ 1,500 minimum requirement and rewarding consistent efforts, this approach motivates participants to engage more actively with the ecosystem rather than relying solely on minimal contributions.

Transparency and Equity:
The inclusion of multipliers in the table provides clear insight into how adjustments are made. It ensures proportionality while avoiding extreme concentration of tokens in higher tiers or overlooking smaller yet meaningful contributors.

Avoids Disproportionality:
Unlike a constant multiplier, which can disproportionately inflate higher-tier allocations, this tier-specific multiplier creates a gradual and controlled reward structure, maintaining balance within the distribution model.

This. You’re the only other one here that gets it the way that I do.

I think I’m done responding for the most part here I just get attacked by the horde of high lxp holders that want outsized rewards for the top few %.

x4 or x5 isn’t enough apparently for them (on top of normal linear), which to me is pretty ridiculous honestly.

Yeah I like something like this idea, I proposed something similar initially, especially during or before main net voyage when gas was super high comparatively. Team can play around with ideas but yeah something to boost anyone with pre-dencun trx is certainly fair.

I said that about 5k vs 6k, I disagree that its a dramatic oversimplification. Perhaps it was a bit more than 20% more difficult.

I will try to do a new summary of my original bonus model and new tier model soon, within the next few days ideally so that people can yell at me more and for clarity.

You can keep trying to belittle. Everybody gets what they deserve. That’s the way life works.

I believe this system lacks fairness, and here’s why:

You stated that the highest multiplier should be capped at 5x even tho in the original post you said 4x

Let’s apply some simple math to this scenario. Assuming the minimum tier requires 1,500 LXP, a 5x multiplier for 5,000 LXP would yield a maximum reward of 25,000. (but practically by grouping them together they will have to compete with large wallet ,even if the reward pull is merged it only affect people in the higher spectrum, so it diminish their effort and the reward they deserve) This is around what the highest tier receive base on the model by @Kanenz
now the problem with your model @aeridyne is lack fairness

Now, consider the impact on users within higher LXP ranges 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, and even up to 12,000. These users, despite their higher contributions, would be grouped into the same reward category as those with 5,000 LXP. This effectively diminishes the value of their additional efforts and creates an imbalance.

Such a system fails to incentivize users at the higher end of the spectrum and undermines the fairness that should guide any tiered reward structure. A better approach would involve either introducing additional tiers to fairly distinguish between higher LXP contributors or scaling the multiplier more equitably beyond the 5x cap.

If you have 5 wallets and mint a few nft with zero fees and earn 1500 lxp, You’re eligible for a prize at the highest tier. LOL.The most unfair distribution model I’ve ever seen.

? No

5x 1500 is 5x tier 1.
1500 x1 = 1500
1500x5 = 7500 total

1x 5000 at tier 4 x4
5000x4 = 20,000

(and 10k assuming tier capped at x4 instead of x5 would be 10,000 x 4 = 40,000)

*yes I know you guys think 10k should get 50% of the token supply (jk not jk), I’m aware.

can not agree more

Most of the people who play meme coins, nft memes, I see them as people who play in the linea ecosystem that is important for community growth.

People who farm LXP and people who trade memes, I believe that people who trade memes are real users on linea, not people who farm LXP for airdrop.

If you look at the data, most people who have 8000+ LXP are actually NFT buyers. If you completed almost every LXP campaign realistically, you’d be around 8000 LXP at best.

For example, I only missed two partner campaigns and participated in everything else, including Entertainment Voyage (though I didn’t receive any LXP for it), and my total is 6500+ LXP. I’m in the top 11k on the leaderboard.

Most people who have 6000+ LXP were transacting on Linea pre-Dencun when gas fees were extremely high. And if I remember correctly, there were less than 400k participants in DeFi Voyage.
