As a seasoned crypto investor who has witnessed numerous airdrops and project launches, I can’t help but empathize with the challenges faced by LayerZero Labs during their recent airdrop. The chaos that ensued, with thousands of bounty reports and appeals flooding in within hours, is not uncommon in this space.
As a researcher specializing in blockchain messaging protocol development with a focus on LayerZero Labs, I encountered hurdles during our initial airdrop distribution. Specifically, we faced the challenge of deterring unfair advantages gained from Sybil attacks.
CEO Bryan Pellegrino characterized the launch as disorderly, with more than 3,000 bounty submissions and 30,000 appeals surfacing in a short time frame. Some users went so far as to report malicious accusers’ GitHub accounts to eliminate unwanted reports.
The Bounty process will become active again within the next day or two.

Pellegrino addressed the concerns by proposing a brief hiatus in report submission and implementing a $0.02 eth fee (approximately $60) for submissions. This measure aims to discourage automated reporting systems and promote fairness and efficiency within the reporting process.
In spite of encountering obstacles, LayerZero’s data capture showed approximately six million distinct wallets engaging with the platform. This thriving ecosystem boasted a valuation of three billion dollars following a successful funding round. Among them, over 100,000 addresses identified themselves as Sybils.
As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed that there have been concerns regarding the fairness of the recent airdrop distribution by LayerZero. However, instead of getting bogged down by these criticisms, LayerZero is taking proactive steps to address any issues and ensure a level playing field for its community members. Their unwavering commitment to maintaining a fair environment for all is commendable.
