📊 **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.

I think the basis should still be lxp, lxp-l, and the rest should simply be given points, as the arbitrum had, that is, if you don’t have lxp - lxp-l you are already automatically not eligble, and the balance and transactions should not deprive us drop

It’s great to see a report on this issue… And welldone to the team for taking time to look into these issues. In my opinion I think it’s important to factor in, real ecosystem users, I understand what you mean about “farmers” but people for example who continue to provide liquidity or use dapps despite “Surge” being over… These are the kind of things I’m talking about… Finding REAL users… Just my opinion… Kudos to the team… Love Linea!!

I think another key metric should be considered is Linea gas usage during certain network upgrades.

Looks good but I don’t think liquidity providers should be penalised. There is risk involved with providing liquidity and if you’re brave enough or have enough faith in the protocol, however you want to put it, to put your hard earned cash into it, you should be rewarded duely.
I think the weight for LXP should be lower. Because many bought NFT and tripled their amount of LXP, this is unfair to those who really tried hard

@user1618 Didn’t NFT buyers also spent liquidity in 1000s of $ into buying NFTs and interacted with ecosystem dapps which puts them in the same or greater risk?

I don’t know why they’re always against NFT buyers which has contributed a lot of liquidity for the NFT marketplace, some people paid 10s of thousands of dollars but got less 7k due to the distribution model but still people criticise them like they didn’t contribute anything… Just bunch of selfish people

Unfortunately, most participants may not even recover their initial investment. However, many individuals are quick to criticize without thoughtful consideration. There also seems to be a double standard, while some claim that those who purchased Efrog are the true OGs and deserve higher rewards, they are not labeled as speculators.
Moreover, Linea NFTs played a crucial role in establishing the foundation for the broader Linea NFT ecosystem, generating nearly 4,000 ETH in trading volume. Without this initial success, other NFTs within the ecosystem might not have achieved the same level of growth.

I Hope $LINEA will follow . .
$ARB Or $HYPE Study both of them. . Give importance to only LXP.
LXP-L is a SCAM . . People already got frustrated with SCROLL & BLAST ☹

$LINEA Need to follow $ARB Slab system based on Only LXP, Ignore LXP-L had a great experience with BLAST/SCROLL .
Study $HYPE Performance & Community encouragement. .

Yes LXP and LXP-L should be the Base for the Airdrop and everythink Else should Count for points

Yes, it is somewhat weird to see people suggesting that holding nfts / memecoins shouldn’t provide any multipliers when the entire Linea team posts heavily about those projects on X.
