L.I.N.E.A - Lost In Never Ending Airdrop

Let me ask you a question: what would you do if you were Linea Foundation? How can you make your users happy? Current situation: Linea Foundation has finished LXP & LXP-L Distribution through Linea Voyage and Linea Park Campaign, attracting millions of participants, including Linea Ecosystem lovers, developers, degens and ofc, and Sybil farmers. Metric-wise, we have: - Total $LXP Distributed: 2,621,511,258 - Number of $LXP Holders: 1,297,203 - Total $LXP-L Distributed: 120B - Number of $LXP-L Holders: 2,034,000 - Total Vogage NFT: 593,359 What is annoying here? If you have witnessed all the recent “bad” airdrop experiences from Magic Eden ($ME), Blast ($BLAST), Scroll ($SCR), or many such cases, you will immediately feel the pressure the same way the foundation feels. Balancing the user’s expectations and your protocol’s economy is not an easy task.. The key question is, how can we maximize the EV that satisfies all point holders while at the same time benefiting the ecosystem in the longer term? There is no correct answer to this question; the only thing we all share is to find the right users and reward them for their contribution to the community. It could be: - LXP and LXP-L Holders. Ofc, fuck off sybillers, fuck off insiders; - Active Linea Ecosystem users, but without much capital to deploy and farm the LXP. You can be active swappers, long-term liquidity providers, memecoin traders, active NFT Shillers, or simply a familiar face that shitposts every day on Twitter; - Active communities and projects. Ofc tokens are for the community, not founders, so they can use them to onboard more and more users to their protocol or ecosystem.

Why Lynex and Zerolend? First, Zerolend is the biggest lending & Lynex is the biggest DEX in terms of TVL - the two most important categories of any new ecosystem. A strong DeFi foundation would set a great start for the later development, therefore to bootstrap Linea, these two projects are crucial to support. Not only has their product been growing decently, but their community is also thriving. Social engagement in their community has been grinding slowly since the launch, and definitely, those communities will be one of the core social supports for the successful launch of Linea. Moreover, ve-holders of Zerolend & Lynex are the ones who are committed to the long-term developments of the Linea ecosystem - the type of users we are looking forward to airdropping the most. It’s important to note that airdropping to veZERO and veLYNX is just the first step of our airdrop campaign. While other protocols/communities also play an essential role of growing in the Linea ecosystem, we make the first move with Zerolend & Lynex as the first two key picks to make a meaningful reward to all participants. There will be more airdrops for other communities in the upcoming weeks.
