Its possible that the Linea airdrop distribution might come with a tier system, heavily weighted toward L-LXP. In the various Linea events, we connected to many protocols, granted approvals, and they ended up locking those unknown NFTs to both the end user and airdrop farmers. However, at the end of the day, a tier-based evaluation tied to liquidity would be much fairer, in my opinion.
I have been an active DeFi user since 2017 and have received notable airdrops from platforms like Uniswap, Paraswap, Arbitrum, Optimism, Starknet, zkSync, Scroll, LayerZero, Swell, Eigen, and many LST projects. I guess you could say I am an experienced degen. I found Linea’s LXP program risky from a wallet security standpoint, and I’m sure many sensible DeFi users (not airdrop farmers) with a certain wallet size had the same concern. However, those sociological sybils (a.k.a. airdrop farmers) who only shuffle 150 dollars around the network without caring about security managed to farm LXP points, I think, is a nice anecdote for determining who should really be rewarded and who should be less rewarded.
Lastly, I believe Arbitrums’ airdrop approach was the best method out there, but none has been as successful as Optimism in building a community through a partially airdrop strategy.
Everyone who promotes the methods and approaches of the arbitrum on this forum is a sibyl. It is absolutely obvious that in 2025, when sibyl technologies and methods have reached unprecedented heights and even the laziest creates alternative accounts - this does not work! There are enough participants in the network with organic activity worthy of reward + there is the LXP system.
When I read such proposals, I ask myself, guys, do you even know what is happening in Linea and how everything is arranged? Apparently not.
You’re all speaking in unison, implying that nobody understands Linea or knows what’s happening there. Is Linea some kind of sacred Layer 2? I really don’t get the reason behind this attitude—it seems a bit pathological. This network is an L2 that hasn’t yet completed its development, lags behind its competitors, and has reached this TVL primarily through airdrop hype and the deposits from early venture capital. Under these circumstances, I don’t think it’s wise to release a pointless airdrop that alienates users.
Not only have you failed to leverage the advantage of joining the market later, but this airdrop, which was delayed for so long, now makes Linea seem less like an Ethereum L2 and more like Consensys’ side network. While most of your competitors are moving toward a decentralized sequencer model, you’re still talking about 2–3 NFTs in the context of sybil-elimination technology. Isn’t this forum meant to be a place to discuss these very issues?
Why did open a new wallet and define it as a sub wallet? It was necessary to follow events for months to collect lxp. During the network’s most problematic times, it was necessary to send dozens of TXs. It seems like you didn’t collect lxp not because of security concerns but because you weren’t motivated enough to do them. Now you’re trying to shit on lxp. Also complaining about sybils and you praising arbitrum criteria now LOL. ALL SYBILLER ALREADY ACTED ACCORDING TO THE ARBITRUM CRITERIA.
It’s mind-blowing how people like you are popping up left, right, and center, insulting and diminishing the efforts of LXP holders, the same dedicated users who actually put in the time, effort, and gas fees to support Linea.
You and your kind mocked those who participated, scoffed at the quests, and laughed at the ones grinding through high gas fees.
But now, when the airdrop is near, you suddenly want to change the rules? Now you’re here, pretending to be some DeFi oracle, acting like your experience makes you entitled to dictate how rewards should be distributed?
You casually label LXP holders as airdrop farmers while pretending you’re any different. What exactly are you doing? Aren’t you just providing liquidity to projects, hunting for allocations, and farming airdrops? What makes you special? Is it because you call it DeFi participation while desperately chasing every airdrop like everyone else?
The difference between you and LXP holders is simple, the LXP holders actually followed the rules set by Linea. They didn’t cry about gas fees or mock the quests, they did the tasks, spent money, and trusted the project. Meanwhile, you sat on the sidelines, called it risky, and now that the airdrop is around the corner, you suddenly want to change the narrative.
