LayerZero Token Launch and Anti-Sybil Measures Set for 2024

by

As an analyst with experience in the blockchain industry, I strongly approve of LayerZero’s proactive approach to combating Sybil attacks. The clear communication and defined deadlines for self-reporting demonstrate a commitment to fair distribution practices and long-term network growth. This two-phase approach is essential for maintaining the integrity and trust of the protocol, ensuring that tokens are distributed equitably among committed users.


LayerZero has implemented a clear plan to combat Sybil attacks. Users can self-report by May 17th to receive 15% of their intended allocation, or risk exclusion if detected during internal reviews or by community reports. The goal of the protocol is to provide equitable distribution among nearly 6 million unique users where those who are committed to long-term network growth have their priority.

As a researcher studying the token distribution process, I advocate for the prioritization of allocating tokens to genuine and long-term users, rather than Sybil farmers. If you identify as a Sybil farmer, there are two available options:

Starting from a two-phase process, LayerZero will actively search and eliminate Sybil activities that persist post-deadline for self-reporting. A incentive scheme is introduced to recognize and compensate community members who successfully identify genuine Sybil users.

As a researcher, I’m excited to share that LayerZero Labs will unveil its native token during the first half of 2024. This long-awaited move aims to establish equitable distribution methods. In addition, we’re collaborating with Google Cloud to deliver Platform Orchestration as a service, enabling seamless workload migration across clouds. Furthermore, SiDC Alliance is working diligently on integrating Google Cloud as the default oracle for our cross-chain messaging functions, thereby boosting security.
