Token Design

This is the best proposal in the forum by far, I like the design, the details and explanation we just need a little adjustments.
Once again thank you @Kanenz for all the time you put into this work, you deserve to be rewarded.

Yes this is the best work by far, i like the model i enjoy the breakdown and analysis, with little adjustment as indicated by the author we are good @dfox

They deserve! Why?
Simply because these few users have fully believed in Linea, whether by participating in every available event as @Thisu has proven, or through high-risk investments in buying NFTs.

Now is the time for Linea to believe in them as well and reward them generously, especially since data has shown that the likelihood of a Sybil among them is 0%.

This is complete nonsense. Now it would be great to start posting screenshots of windbags and empty talkers on Linea forums :grimacing:. You need to relax, man, there is a lot of tension and destructiveness in your messages (although it is obvious that you are trying to act for the good)

305

Of the total tokens, what is the percentage that is distributed to the Airdrop because you are dividing the total token 1b all for the airdrop and it is not like that, example 20% 200M and that is broken down into tiers

I do not believe a tier structure based on LXP is a fair judgement of contribution to the chain. LXP is what you earn thru activities requested by Linea. It served as an intro to the ecosystem. It’s useful but hardly deterministic in regards to genuine users of the chain. For example, you participated in all of the campaigns and earned 8K+ LXPs, then left and never touch Linea since last AUG. Yet someone with 3K LXPs has been using the chain consistently even today. If you are Linea, which user would you prefer?

307

Here is Why LXP Is the Most Fair and Reliable Metric for Contribution

The argument that long-term activity should outweigh LXP-based contributions is fundamentally flawed because it fails to account for the quality of participation. Simply being “active” on the chain at some point does not necessarily equate to meaningful engagement or contribution.

1. On-Chain Activity Can Be Easily Manipulated

A person could make one small transaction per month and still claim to be an “active user,” yet their actual contribution to the network is negligible. Worse, past airdrop models have been exploited by users who engaged in spam transactions, artificially inflating their activity to manipulate distribution.

If Linea were to prioritize generic, easily manipulated on-chain transactions over structured participation, it would create a loophole that rewards exploitative behavior rather than genuine contributions.

2. LXP Represents Structured, Verified Participation

LXP was introduced as a deliberate and transparent contribution metric from the beginning, spanning nearly two years of curated quests, campaigns, and initiatives. Participants earned LXP by engaging with Linea in ways that were explicitly designed to support network growth, adoption, and awareness.

  • The 8K LXP user actively participated in every major campaign, following the exact framework that Linea established as a measure of contribution.
  • The 3K LXP user may have continued transacting afterward, but their engagement is not necessarily structured, nor does it automatically provide greater value.

If Linea were to devalue LXP now, it would contradict the very system it created to reward participation. This would disenfranchise those who engaged in good faith, while potentially rewarding low-effort, easily gamed activities instead.
*a system that rewards intentional, structured engagement is far more reliable than one that can be manipulated through meaningless, low-effort spam transactions.**
Also a simple question for you, how many people have 8k lxps and how many people have 3k lxps? I think you can find the answer there

Hi, given that the SYBILS are REMOVED, which includes industrial farming and spams. If the distribution solely base on LXP (linear or tier) will spell disaster to the community.

The REAL ISSUE is High LXP =/= durable/real users. If the distribution is heavily based on LXP, it will centralized the chain onto the hands of non-industrial (wallet<20) scale farmers. This process is nothing more than decentralized the INDUSTRIAL FARMERS. Is the system more decentralized? Yes, but the bottom structure has yet to change. The distribution to the rest of the community remains more or less the same as BEFORE SIBYLS ARE REMOVED.

Given that Linea has successfully removed the sybils. My approach does not overly skewed towards any specific category. Which is designed with the community in mind. Whereas using LXP (linear or tier structure) completely removes the contribution of 95%+ of the onchain activities and majority of the fees burned on Linea. Most importantly, you just did what ZKS did and killed off the community.

Hence, for activities that are CONTROLLED by Linea (LXP, non-organic), I believe a 30% token award toward LXP is fair.

MY Arb-Like approach

Let x to be the amount of tokens for airdrop

LXP
30%x reward for early contribution

LXPL
20%x reward for liquidity

Fee burned
20%x reward for OG users (high pre-dencun fees)

Number of TXN
10%x reward for footprint

Number of active days on Linea
10%x reward for dedication and consistency

MEME
5%x reward for expanding ecosystem participation

NFT
5%x reward for degen and risk taking

Wallet allocation = sum(category(user contribution/system total*(n)x)), where n=token weight%

Thanks.

I have answered all your questions in your original post
If you take your time to read the proposal, it's not just lxp, it's also include lxpl and others...

Here is why the Hybrid Model (LXP + Fees) Is the Best and Fairest Approach

The hybrid model effectively counters all false claims while ensuring fair and transparent distribution. It balances structured contributions (LXP) with on-chain activity (fee-based rewards) while preventing manipulation by industrial farmers.

Debunking the False Claims Against LXP-Based Distribution

1. “High LXP =/= Real Users” → False

LXP represents structured, verifiable contributions, unlike generic on-chain activity, which can be manipulated with scripted transactions. Real contributors followed curated tasks that helped grow the ecosystem, making LXP the best measure of meaningful engagement.

2. “LXP Distribution Centralizes the Chain” → False

Once sybils are removed, what remains are real individual contributors who earned their allocation fairly. The real centralization threat was large-scale industrial farming, which the hybrid model prevents by:

  • Rewarding genuine contributors through LXP.
  • Ensuring early users who paid high fees are fairly compensated.
  • Avoiding a “transaction farming” loophole, where bots generate spam to qualify for rewards.

3. “95%+ of On-Chain Activity Is Ignored” → Misleading

Most of that activity was not organic—it was farming-driven behavior inspired by past airdrop models. The hybrid model:

  • Rewards **early adopters who contributed through multipliers **.
  • Filters out exploiters who artificially inflated their activity without adding value.
  • Ensures real transactional engagement is still recognized but not the sole metric.

4. “LXP Distribution Will Kill the Community Like ZKS” → Fear-Mongering

ZKS failed due to poor tokenomics and communication, not because it rewarded early contributors. Linea’s hybrid model prevents this issue by:

  • Balancing fair early contribution rewards (LXP) with multipliers (fees).
  • Preventing **sybil farmers from dominating rewards (hybrid) **.
  • Avoiding over-reliance on exploitable transaction-based metrics.

Why the Hybrid Model (LXP + Fees) Is the Best Solution

Metric Why It Works in the Hybrid Model
LXP (Tiered & Linear) Prevents manipulation, rewards structured contributions.
Fee-Based Rewards Ensures early adopters who paid high gas fees are fairly compensated.
Active Participation Recognized but not over-prioritized, preventing spam transactions.
Prevents Industrial Farming Eliminates sybils while stopping transaction spammers from gaming the system.
Fair & Transparent Based on clear rules from the start, not retroactive gaming.

In Summary
The hybrid model counters all false claims while ensuring:

1.Real contributors (LXP holders) are fairly rewarded.
2.High-fee early adopters receive just compensation.
3. Exploiters who spam transactions do not benefit unfairly.
4. Sybils & industrial farmers are effectively eliminated.
5. Linea’s long-term growth is prioritized over short-term opportunism.

The push to reduce LXP in favor of transaction-based farming is a clear attempt to manipulate the system. The hybrid model remains the most transparent, balanced, and ungameable approach for fair token distribution.

I just replied to Kanenz in my post as well as his. So if my two replies are spamming, then why two responses from Kanenz isn’t. Thank you!

The thing is, it isn’t fair when you solely based EVERYTHING on LXP. If you read carefully, you masked the contributions by vast majority of the users, and not properly rewarding the REAL USERS. It should never be one category, it is literally the opposite of decentralization. Hence your points are invalidated just by this simple fact.

AGAIN, please see my very first paragraph. This proposal assumed MOST if not all sybils were removed (including spammers). In addition, I said your method “decentralized” the industrial farmers and replaced them with non-industrial farmers. The distribution structure remains the same. The rest of the community do not get properly rewarded. I DO NOT WANT LINEA TURN INTO ZKSYNC. Thanks.
