Proposal for Fair and Inclusive Token Distribution: Prioritizing On-Chain Activity Over Specific NFT Multipliers

[Lineamaxi]

Dear Linea Community,

The airdrop distribution has sparked lively discussions, particularly regarding the potential inclusion of multipliers and the disproportionate emphasis on specific NFT collections, such as Frog NFTs. While the main criteria for the airdrop will understandably revolve around LXP and LXP-L, it’s crucial to ensure that any additional multipliers introduced remain fair, inclusive, and representative of the entire Linea ecosystem.

Understanding NFT Ownership and Motivation
Before delving into the multiplier criteria, it’s important to understand the motivations behind NFT ownership:

Collectors: These individuals genuinely appreciate the art and are motivated by personal interest rather than monetary value.
Profit-Seekers: These individuals buy NFTs primarily as speculative assets, aiming for quick profits.
Given these dynamics, it’s evident that those aggressively lobbying for high allocations for specific NFTs are likely driven by profit-seeking motives. Their agenda does not align with the broader interests of the Linea community and ecosystem. This has also been evident in attempts to suppress opposing voices on the Linea forum (e.g., flagging comments), further highlighting their narrow agenda.

Why On-Chain Activity Should Complement LXP and LXP-L
The foundation of the airdrop should remain focused on LXP and LXP-L, as these represent the efforts of early supporters and contributors. However, if Linea decides to include multipliers, these should reward on-chain activity across the ecosystem rather than favoring specific projects or collections.

Here’s why:

Ecosystem-Wide Growth: Rewarding broader on-chain activity supports all projects on Linea equally.

Genuine Users: On-chain activity reflects the contributions of real participants who engage organically with the ecosystem.

Fairness: Avoiding preferential treatment of specific collections prevents exploitation and ensures equitable rewards for all contributors.

Proposed Multiplier System

If Linea chooses to implement a multiplier system alongside LXP and LXP-L, I propose the following on-chain activity-based multipliers:

NFT-Based Multipliers
1 Point: Holding at least three NFTs from any project on Linea for six months or more.

1 Point: Trading $500 worth of NFTs (cumulative) across any project on Linea.

General On-Chain Activity Multipliers
1 Point: Providing liquidity to any protocol on Linea for at least one month.

1 Point: Completing transactions worth $1,000 or more across dApps in the ecosystem.

1 Point: Interacting with at least five different dApps or projects on Linea.

1 Point: Bridging $500 or more to/from Linea.
Community Engagement Multipliers

Key Benefits of This Multiplier System

Aligns with Ecosystem Growth: Every project and participant is treated equally, ensuring no single NFT collection or group is disproportionately favored.

Encourages Long-Term Engagement: Users are rewarded for sustained and meaningful participation across the Linea ecosystem.

Prevents Exploitation: Criteria like holding NFTs for six months or providing liquidity for one month discourage speculative, short-term behavior.

Supports Genuine Contributors: Active users who interact with Linea dApps, provide liquidity, and engage in governance are fairly rewarded.

While the primary distribution of tokens should remain tied to LXP and LXP-L, any additional multipliers must reflect the broader on-chain activity of users rather than catering to the interests of a specific group. This approach ensures fairness, inclusivity, and alignment with the long-term vision of Linea.

Let’s prioritize what matters: rewarding genuine contributors and fostering a thriving, interconnected ecosystem that benefits everyone equally.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I look forward to hearing feedback from the community.

Your message is well-composed, but its intent and underlying agenda are quite transparent.

It is quite obvious to me that you have only joined the forum for one purpose, to reduce the possibility of people getting allocations outside of LXP to a minimum. You are not the first person on this forum with such a strategy and many have already seen messages about such behavior on the Internet from sybil groups.

The core of your argument appears focused on reducing the number of eligible participants for the airdrop under the guise of “fairness” and “ecosystem growth.” However, your lack of acknowledgment of critical issues - such as combating Sybil attacks, addressing hacked wallets via tools like AdsPower, or implementing tiers to differentiate genuine users from exploiters - undermines your claim of advocating for fairness.

You downplay the efforts of long-term ecosystem contributors, many of whom have spent over a year engaging deeply with Linea, participating in unstable testnets, spending significant money on ecosystem projects, and contributing to early adoption. These participants have done far more than merely farm LXP; they’ve supported the very foundation of the network.

The disproportionate emphasis on NFTs - specifically Frog NFTs - is a distraction from the larger picture. While NFTs are a part of the ecosystem, your framing suggests that those advocating for their inclusion are solely profit-driven. This is both reductive and divisive. Active community members have participated in countless activities, including governance calls, AMAs, and ecosystem testing - areas where your contributions appear absent.

Your post reads as an attempt to manipulate the narrative in favor of excluding participants under the guise of fairness. If you were genuinely interested in fostering a thriving ecosystem, you’d focus on solutions to combat sybil attacks, reward meaningful engagement across all dimensions of Linea, and ensure equitable distribution without sowing division.

Linea’s community thrives because of genuine contributors who’ve been here since the beginning - not because of exclusionary measures masquerading as fairness. Let’s move forward with solutions that prioritize inclusivity and reward sustained, meaningful participation.

Bring something constructive to the Linea community already. Your attacks are completely baseless, empty, and useless. Even if you create 100 multi-accounts and write 500 such messages, it won’t change the fact and the truth that communities in Linea are incredibly important, and their heart lies in the eFrogs.

Analyzing the author’s profile, I came to the same conclusion. Lineamaxi, you’ve written a lot of loud words in an attempt to discredit others, but could you clarify your contribution to the development of the Linea ecosystem? Perhaps something like your personal Twitter, where we can see regular engagement with Linea and its ecosystem? Maybe a Discord account actively used on the Linea server for communication? Are you perhaps an application developer? Or an early tester of the new ZeroLand interface? Were you a participant in the guild game? Or maybe you’re the reason a new ecosystem project joined the Linea network? Perhaps we regularly see you in the ecosystem, at every AMA or community call, but just didn’t recognize you?

Author, this opinion has already been expressed on the forum by another faceless participant. Please join the fight against the faceless ones who are really causing damage to the Linea campaign and its community:

Wallets that have been hacked should be excluded from airdrop

This hacked browser is purely software for creating and managing multi-accounts. 99.9% of its users are Sybils, and it’s a stroke of luck that they were hacked, helping to clean the market before the TGE. Granting an airdrop to these wallets on Linea’s part would be a grave mistake. The funds would end up in the hands of Sybils or hackers/thieves. This would not be about decentralization or rightful rewards but rather a sheer loss of funds and additional market pressure, as these individuals wo…

The main element is lxp and layerzero sybil list

Although Nanse’s Sybil work looks quite impressive, there is still a lot to be done. Just by looking at Twitter you can see that many sybils say their wallets are safe. The team should definitely include the sybil reports published by large projects such as the layerzero sybil list in the list. (Nansen also prepared the layerzero sybil list. There are wallets that are not accepted as sybil by Linea even though they are on the layerzero list. This is quite illogical.)

Probably half of the wallets with less than 2000 lxp are sybil

Based on the sybils who share on social media. I think special work is required for wallets with less than 2000 lxp. The team should examine these wallets more carefully.

Thanks Lineamaxi the forum just needed another piece of nonsense generated with ChatGPT. Get away from the community. Go do your own thing and show your importance and significance as a community member, instead of devaluing others.

[scigan]

Lmao, paperlesshash back with a new profile? those big headlines again

[obertouhi]

All this was published and discussed 10 times in the relevant topics, where you also left your comments. Why another topic with the same ideas?

Well, I’m not surprised that the author is pushing these purely sybil-oriented criteria alongside attacks on the community.

This is pure lobbying for sybil interests. Recently, while analyzing the blockchain, I’ve noticed a large number of similar accounts farming these criteria day after day.

[Lineamaxi]

Those questioning the integrity of others while flagging dissenting opinions only expose their own agenda.

I support a fair system that rewards the entire community based on real contributions, not favoritism.

[kaywhy]

Fair is whatever benefits Lineamaxi

Anything that rewards others significantly more than Lineamaxi? Totally unfair.

If the reward is just $1 more than his, he might tolerate it without throwing a tantrum.

[Lineamaxi]

It’s becoming increasingly evident that a small group of NFT holders is dominating the platform, aggressively pushing their unfair demands while discrediting LXP holders and opposing rewards based on genuine onchain activity. The reason is clear, these individuals are NFT flippers who bought a specific NFT and are now lobbying for massive allocations to benefit themselves. If they had meaningful onchain contributions or enough LXP, they wouldn’t be so opposed to rewarding actual engagement.

Their behavior has been rude, unfair, and even abusive. Flagging fact based comments that challenge their agenda only reveals their inability to engage in open, honest discussion. My own comment was flagged, but thanks to the Linea forum team, it was restored after review. This speaks volumes about the mentality of these opportunists,they will do anything to silence dissent and further their self serving narrative.

[kaywhy]

Everything would be so and would fit comfortably into your template, if these NFT holders themselves were not the same top holders of LXP. I don’t have any NFTs and in LXP I only have 5125 tokens, but your motives are quite obvious to me.

The guys above described them quite competently.

[keikun]

You know, buddy, ideas that encourage sybils don’t really take root here, just like attacks on the community. And you’re right = sybils and those lobbying for their interests are treated here FAIRLY (oh, how you love that word… mmm…) with justified bias.

[keikun]

Another community representative has attacked a poor sybil lobbyist! OH, THE HORROR!

You won’t believe it, but people like you aren’t even discussed in the community - we neither have the time nor the interest. The Linea team isn’t foolish; they fully understand what’s going on. You may deceive others like yourself, those unfamiliar with the ecosystem. You can twist facts, lie, and manipulate, but none of that will change the truth. So, do whatever you want - just know that, as a member of the community, I couldn’t care less, just like everyone else.

[dybler]

I think it’s time to put on a tinfoil hat. This is what happens when you get overly fixated on the numbers and metrics of an airdrop

Obvious sybil metrics. Here’s an example of farmers, FRESH ONLINE, who are farming the same criteria as described by the lobbyist in this topic.

Oh, trust me, the fact that you felt the need to reply so passionately shows I’m clearly living rent free in your head. If people like me aren’t even discussed, why are you so bothered? Seems like I struck a nerve.

You accuse me of twisting facts and lying, but let’s get specific, where did I lie? Which fact did I manipulate? You people have thousands of words, yet not a shred of substance. All talk, no proof.

The truth is simple. Real contributors to the ecosystem don’t need to manipulate forums, flag comments, or silence others to get what they deserve. So, you can keep pretending no one cares, but your defensiveness says otherwise. Thanks for proving my point again!

[blobby]

@Lineamaxi

Real contributors to the ecosystem don’t need to manipulate forums

If so, then you should stop doing this.

You were given facts and asked questions above that you tried to dodge. Why are you suddenly including everyone here in the eFrogs community is a complete mystery. You are obviously completely obsessed with the topic of drops.
