LXP & LXP-L: What Are the Key Metrics for a Fair Distribution?
We gathered nearly 100 responses from our Toads community to understand which factors should guide token distribution on $Linea . The data reveals clear trends and areas of discussion regarding how to ensure fairness and prevent distortions.
Key Metrics According to the Community
LXP accumulated over the year (88%) → The majority of users consider LXP as the primary metric for distribution, as it serves as a direct indicator of activity and continuous engagement within the network.
On-chain activity (49.4%) → Interaction with the network through transactions and dApp usage is considered relevant, but there are concerns about measuring it fairly without incentivizing farming. The number of transactions alone can be artificially inflated, making it a potentially unreliable metric.
Time of engagement with Linea (45.8%) → Long-term participation is viewed as important, but there is no clear consensus on how to measure it equitably without disadvantaging newer users.
Controversial Aspects
LXP-L for locked liquidity (43.4%) → While the value of Total Value Locked (TVL) is recognized, some users believe it could disproportionately benefit large liquidity providers (whales) over smaller participants.
Ownership of ERC721/ERC20 tokens (32.5%) → Simply holding assets is not considered a reliable indicator of active participation. The community favors actual network usage over mere token ownership.
Key Challenges Identified
Risk of Sybil and Farming → Some users pointed out that bots and multi-wallet strategies may have been used to accumulate LXP without real contributions to the network. Filtering out these cases will be critical to ensuring fair distribution.
Balancing Early Adopters and New Users → Users who contributed in the early stages of the network, when costs were higher and the ecosystem less developed, believe their commitment should be recognized. However, fair distribution should also incentivize new participants without creating excessive barriers.
Post-TGE Sustainability → To prevent a decline in interest after the TGE, some users suggest introducing governance mechanisms, support programs for projects on Linea, and incentives for continued participation.
Final Considerations
The debate remains on balancing distribution fairly, avoiding favoritism toward large liquidity holders and mitigating the risk of opportunistic behavior. The long-term sustainability of the ecosystem post-TGE will be a key factor for the future of the network.
