Co-Founder and CEO of LayerZero Labs. @LayerZero_Core 💎🙌
Joined June 2009
24 people. 13 months of work. The entire team uprooting themselves to move to the Bahamas. Countless hours, weekends, and personal sacrifices all culminating now. We’re dropping a LOT today, I’ll try to lay it all out below [thread].

RIP, seriously if you’re waiting in a late timezone just go to bed. Increasing estimate to 60 minutes and locking all devs in this room until it’s shipped.
May God have mercy on these servers…. final data being ingested now. Imho 30 min but my estimates have not been great today. Set in stone though, LFG.

Model 3, x3 early, x1 late (no bonus), sybil removed. Won't post any more models after model 4 post -- will come back with sybil data and a leaning on the models with more fleshed out RFP stuff. Honestly 25-10k models seem to big, at only ~2m reasonable wallets 50% inclusion.

Ok a couple of things, still putting on finishing touches - ~45 minutes best guess. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR WALLET. It's a checker site, you type in your address. Do not connect anything. There are still some wallets that have to be excluded, compliance, deployers, etc. -- As they.

Ok since it's coming up a ton today, here is how we're currently thinking about eligibility from a wide lens. The focus is clearly on real users and the fairest and broadest distribution of highly aligned, most durable users. A lot of this is informed by results of the Sybil.

Ok let's talk some numbers. 23.8% of the supply is going directly to the community and builders. This does not include foundation, growth, etc. Directly to community. 8.5% of this is being distributed day 1 (5% core, 3% RFP, 0.5% community pool). The majority of the remainder.

Listen guys, it's very simple. If you are a real user doing real things, you should be fine. If your goal is to pretend to be a user or do an action to "rack up activity" in hopes of getting more beating the system -- you may be a sybil. Users First.

Ok final run for the moment, this is what it would look like with:. x3 on early tx, + 50 tokens if you did 3 tx in 'late' period (84,000 people qualify for this, ~4.2m tokens for this part). Total entries: 594,641. Entries with 50-100 tokens: 364,628 (Sum: 24,964,176.99). Entries.

Current criteria (including the 2 multipliers). Base on fee (LZ fee not blockchain fee). Durable user multiplier is cutoff as of midnight UTC a few hours ago. Focus is on rewarding real users, and rewarding durable users. Model 1. tx < $1 - deweight by -80%.Valueless NFT tx -.

The bullet point you should focus is the final bullet point. "If you think you are a Sybil, you are most likely a Sybil". If you're a real user who tested merkly or used it for a gas drop -- you're probably not a sybil. If you literally only ever used merkly to send NFT in a.
Classifying Merkly users and people who bridged “valueless NFTs” is insane. It’s quite literally a use case of LayerZero. Using the refuel function on Merkly is genuinely valuable, and transferring ONFTs has been promoted by LZ themselves multiple times

The Sybil filtering process is as follows. Phase 1: Self-report for 15% of intended allocation.Phase 2: LZ Labs sybil report. Sybil caught get 0. Phase 3: Bounty hunter program. Catch a Sybil, get 10% of their intended allocation. Users first.
We believe it is in the protocol's best interest to distribute tokens to durable users — not sybil farmers. If you are a sybil, you have two options:. – Self-report sybil addresses for 15% of your intended allocation. No questions asked. The deadline to do so is May 17th. – Do
