LayerZero 空投套裝即將分發，引發興奮與警惕

跨鏈互通協議 LayerZero 正準備向用戶推出期待已久的空投。空投的第一個快照已經完成，更多細節即將公佈。 LayerZero 的 ZRO 代幣於 2023 年在 HyperLiquid 上推出，完全稀釋後的潛在估值為 170 億美元。

LayerZero Announces Imminent Airdrop Distribution, Prompting Speculation and Concerns

LayerZero 宣布即將進行空投分發，引發猜測和擔憂

LayerZero, a highly anticipated cross-chain interoperability protocol, has initiated preparations for its eagerly awaited airdrop. The company completed the first snapshot for the airdrop on May 2, 2024, according to an official announcement from LayerZero Labs. Further details are expected to be released shortly.

LayerZero，一個備受期待的跨鏈互通協議，已經開始為期待已久的空投做準備。根據 LayerZero Labs 的官方公告，該公司於 2024 年 5 月 2 日完成了空投的第一個快照。預計很快就會公佈更多細節。

This airdrop is a common practice employed by decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to generate interest and reward early adopters with newly issued cryptocurrencies. LayerZero's native token, ZRO, was introduced as the first Hyperp (Hyperliquid-only perp) on the HyperLiquid perpetual futures decentralized exchange (DEX) in September 2023.

這種空投是去中心化金融（DeFi）協議採用的常見做法，用於產生利息並用新發行的加密貨幣獎勵早期採用者。 LayerZero 的原生代幣 ZRO 於 2023 年 9 月在 HyperLiquid 永續期貨去中心化交易所 (DEX) 上作為第一個 Hyperp（僅限 Hyperliquid 的 Perp）推出。

The ZRO Hyperp is currently trading at $8.3, implying a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of approximately $17 billion, as indicated by Xulian, the pseudonymous core contributor of HyperLiquid, in a May 2 post. Hyperps share similarities with perpetual futures contracts but do not rely on an underlying spot or index oracle price. HyperLiquid boasts the world's largest trading volume and Open Interest for perpetual futures DEXes.

HyperLiquid 的匿名核心貢獻者 Xulian 在 5 月 2 日的貼文中表示，ZRO Hyperp 目前的交易價格為 8.3 美元，意味著完全攤薄估值 (FDV) 約為 170 億美元。 Hyperps 與永續期貨合約有相似之處，但不依賴基本現貨或指數預言機價格。 HyperLiquid 擁有全球最大的永續期貨 DEX 交易量和未平倉合約。

Despite LayerZero Labs' limited disclosure regarding the airdrop mechanics, the company had previously hinted at a token launch in early 2024, as stated in a December 7, 2023 post:

儘管 LayerZero Labs 對空投機制的披露有限，但該公司此前曾暗示將在 2024 年初推出代幣，如 2023 年 12 月 7 日的帖子所述：

"LayerZero has always been designed with the capacity for a native token within the protocol, as evidenced by the immutable code deployed on day one... We unequivocally affirm that there will be a LayerZero token. Its distribution is a matter of utmost importance to us, and we anticipate its release within the first six months of 2024."

「LayerZero 的設計始終具有協議內原生代幣的能力，第一天部署的不可變代碼就證明了這一點……我們明確肯定將會有一個 LayerZero 代幣。它的分發對於我們預計它會在2024 年的前六個月內發布。

Airdrops and the Potential Long-Term Impact on DeFi Protocols

空投和對 DeFi 協議的潛在長期影響

While airdrops aim to boost protocol usage through early adopter incentives, they have also raised concerns about the potential exploitation by professional airdrop hunters or squatters. These individuals may create multiple cryptocurrency wallets to farm the same airdrop, with no genuine intention of utilizing the protocol. They often sell the rewards immediately after claiming them, potentially undermining the value of the airdropped token.

雖然空投旨在透過早期採用者激勵措施來促進協議的使用，但它們也引起了人們對專業空投獵人或搶佔者潛在利用的擔憂。這些人可能會創建多個加密貨幣錢包來進行相同的空投，但無意利用協議。他們通常在領取獎勵後立即出售，這可能會損害空投代幣的價值。

In February 2024, Banteg, an anonymous developer for Yearn.finance, expressed concerns that Starknet's airdrop eligibility list was heavily populated by airdrop squatters. Approximately 701,544 out of 1.3 million eligible wallet addresses were reportedly linked to repeated or renamed GitHub accounts controlled by airdrop squatters.

2024 年 2 月，Yearn.finance 的匿名開發者 Banteg 對 Starknet 的空投資格名單中充斥著大量空投搶佔者表示擔憂。據報道，130 萬個符合條件的錢包地址中約有 701,544 個與空投搶注者控制的重複或重命名的 GitHub 帳戶相關聯。

On May 1, 2024, Chinese authorities apprehended a StarkNet airdrop identity forger who had impersonated other users, claiming over 40,000 STRK tokens on their behalf and converting them into approximately $91,000 worth of Tether (USDT).

2024 年 5 月 1 日，中國當局逮捕了一名 StarkNet 空投身份偽造者，他冒充其他用戶，代表他們領取了超過 40,000 個 STRK 代幣，並將其轉換為價值約 91,000 美元的 Tether (USDT)。

In March 2023, airdrop hunters were found to have consolidated $3.3 million worth of tokens from the Arbitrum (ARB) airdrop from 1,496 wallets into just two controlled wallets.

2023 年 3 月，空投獵人被發現將 1,496 個錢包中價值 330 萬美元的 Arbitrum (ARB) 空投代幣合併到兩個受控錢包中。

These airdrop squatters tend to dispose of their accumulated rewards swiftly, often leading to a rapid decline in the value of the newly airdropped token. Such practices can also hinder genuine community participation and the long-term sustainability of DeFi protocols.

這些空投搶注者往往會迅速處置其累積的獎勵，通常會導致新空投代幣的價值迅速下降。這種做法還會阻礙真正的社區參與和 DeFi 協議的長期可持續性。
