Proposal - "Who Can Vote in a Decentralized Linea?"

Token Design
1

Hello everyone,
I am Jun, and I have known, followed, and supported Linea since its early days. I have mainly contributed and shared my opinions on Linea’s Discord and Twitter. Today, I am sharing my thoughts on the forum as Linea is about to enter a new chapter – DECENTRALIZATION.

I have read some opinions from people on the forum, Discord, and other places, and I disagree with the idea of using a specific amount of LXP (1500, 2000, 2500, etc.) as a benchmark for removing receiving wallets from token distribution at TGE. This proposal is subjective and could lead to the exclusion of many contributors, which would make it difficult to maintain community satisfaction and trust in the project. We cannot follow the path of recent L2 projects where unreasonable token distribution caused widespread frustration, and the project was gradually forgotten after being boycotted by the community.

Instead, we need to establish a more reasonable distribution method. For example, the logarithmic distribution proposed by the Linea team to distribute LXP to NFT Voyage holders is one of the most thoughtful approaches I’ve seen.
Here are a few points to consider in building a fair allocation system:

  • Dencun

Early adopters always have to spend time and pay high gas fees in the early stages. Therefore, there should be a multiplier for the LXP they earn from completing tasks, acquiring NFTs, etc.

  • NFTs

Purchasing NFTs should also be recognized as a contribution to the project. However, it’s important to distinguish between NFTs that users have earned versus those they have purchased. If they earned the NFTs, they should receive a multiplier because their contribution was earlier.

  • Sybil

With Linea’s robust POH system, I believe it will be difficult for many bots to bypass it. However, nothing is absolute. Therefore, we can filter based on the final total score (including multipliers). If a wallet’s total score is too low (for example, below 500), it should be considered for elimination.
WHY? Even if they have participated from the beginning, completed only a few tasks, or earned NFTs without buying them, the multiplier system we’ve set up will still boost their final score. So, if the score remains too low, it likely indicates a bot or a new user with insufficient contribution.

This is my opinion. Thank you to everyone for reading, and I hope we can all contribute more to improve this process.
I also believe the Linea team will find the most optimal solution for a fair and community-satisfying allocation.
Wish you all the best.

“Linea’s longevity and prosperity.”

Thank for taking time and effort for this post!
BUT if you know how many wallets have less than 2000LXP, you will have the answer. As your proposal with above only 500LXP, sybil and farmers will be the owner of this chain.

Thank you for reading.
But the main thing I want to mention is the multipliers and we should use the points after applying them rather than the normal LXP threshold. 500 LXP I gave is just an example, the rest is decided by the Linea team.

I just came up with an idea for a filtering method. If we decide to use a threshold (e.g. 500, 1000, 2000 LXP), then people with less than this threshold will split into two cases:

  1. Early adopters (received LXP from events before Dencun) are counted as the last valid tier.

  2. Late users (only have LXP from events after Dencun) are either not contributing enough or are farmers. These people are definitely eliminated.

To make it easier to understand, here is a specific example:

The threshold is 1500 LXP.
A has 1000 (with 200 early), B has 1400 (from events after Dencun).
Although A has less LXP than B, B is eliminated because B’s LXP is completely acquired after Dencun.
A is still in the last valid tier for contributing early and throughout the events.
So we have eliminated the farms after Dencun without harming early users.

Yes you are right. I think there should be an early adopter user multiplier which we have seen on LXP-L surge campaign too.

  • Early Galaxy Linea voyage quest participants with Gitcoin score 20+ (Actual participants not bought NFT from marketplace)
  • Before and After Duncun users
  • Early adopters of LXP and LXP-L
  • Transaction with multiple contract address with Linea’s various ecosystem projects (Not wash trading with 5$ value transacton)
  • etc

Hopefully Linea team will accept these suggestions from us.
Thank you for your valuable comments. :heart:

The only winners will be sybil and industrial farmers. Real users will only earn pennies.

Raise threshold to 1.5k at least. Nothing to talk about with you if you insist on 500 LXP threshold, such approach 100% prioritize small and cheap sybil farmers, they must be excluded.
1500 threshold wil cut off 500k/1300k users, that’s pretty fine

I think the suitable threshold is 2000 lxp, with around 500k wallets eligible.

Why? Please give your opinion logically. Thank you

Thank you for your comments.
Please read the necessary conditions clearly, don’t just focus on the LXP thresholds. It’s just an example. Please tell me which sybil, farmer,… can overcome all the things I mentioned with his farm?

12

Thanks for your comments.
As I mentioned on the article. Please consider the factors carefully, don’t just focus on a certain LXP threshold. Farmers can surpass 2000 LXP easily after Dencun.

Keep up the great discussions. The team is listening!

Thank you. I’m open to suggestions :handshake:

But it’s very few no method is 100% from the data u can see this, it’s more difficult to get lxps from 1500lxp

16

Thanks for your comments.
Difficult but not impossible (instead of A having 100 wallets containing 500LXP, A has 20 wallets containing over 2000 LXP, so is A a sybil?). If we filter by the 2000 threshold, A’s 20 wallets pass easily.
My way is to filter all bots, not just bots with low LXP.

Stupid logic to be honest. Okay, let’s say there are 20 sybil wallets holding 2k LXP, but If you have 10IQ+ you realize that at the same time there are 20.000 sybil wallets holding 500-1000 LXP. Sybils will always exist. Your logic boils down to the fact that there are always sybils and let’s give all sybils a chance since it’s impossible to get rid of them all. The idea is to remove not all sybils, but to remove those same 100 sybils as you mentioned and leave an insignificant part in the form of 20 wallets. 1.5k threshold is vital, 500k sybil wallets will be exluced allowing real users to get something except peanuts

20 wallets with 2k will pass, but 100 wallets will not pass. But you say let’s make all pass hahaha, wtf is wrong with you man. There are completly 10 times less sybils with wallets holding 2k LXP than those holding 500-1000 LXP

First of all, thank you for your criticism because it allows me to expand on my idea. And here is my explanation:

  • We see, Linea team has built a great POH to fight sybils and it is more effective than other L2 systems. Only a small part of sybils get through and my direction is to filter out the remaining sybils. My article never mentioned “give all sybils a chance because it is impossible to remove all of them” as you said.

  • You said you want to “delete sybils with 100 wallets and leave sybils with 20 wallets”? So it means you are the one who has the idea of ​​"giving sybils a chance because it is impossible to remove all of them" and not me.
    My idea is: Whether you have 20 wallets with 2000 or you have 100 wallets with 500, you are still a sybil, and you will be eliminated. Only real users deserve rewards.
    Moreover, I never said “let all sybils pass”. You can read the entire post and my reply above.

Finally, I hope you can comment more civilly and politely. Do not use words that attack or mock others. If you have any questions or disagree with anything, feel free to comment here and I will explain further. I can give specific examples if you do not understand.
