LayerZero Announces Imminent Airdrop Distribution, Prompting Speculation and Concerns

LayerZero 宣布即将进行空投分发，引发猜测和担忧

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，一个备受期待的跨链互操作协议，已经开始为期待已久的空投做准备。根据 LayerZero Labs 的官方公告，该公司于 2024 年 5 月 2 日完成了空投的第一个快照。预计将很快公布更多细节。

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.

这种空投是去中心化金融（DeFi）协议采用的常见做法，用于产生利息并用新发行的加密货币奖励早期采用者。 LayerZero 的原生代币 ZRO 于 2023 年 9 月在 HyperLiquid 永续期货去中心化交易所 (DEX) 上作为第一个 Hyperp（仅限 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 的匿名核心贡献者 Xulian 在 5 月 2 日的帖子中表示，ZRO Hyperp 目前的交易价格为 8.3 美元，意味着完全摊薄估值 (FDV) 约为 170 亿美元。 Hyperps 与永续期货合约有相似之处，但不依赖于基础现货或指数预言机价格。 HyperLiquid 拥有全球最大的永续期货 DEX 交易量和未平仓合约。

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:

尽管 LayerZero Labs 对空投机制的披露有限，但该公司此前曾暗示将在 2024 年初推出代币，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 的设计始终具有协议内原生代币的能力，第一天部署的不可变代码就证明了这一点……我们明确肯定将会有一个 LayerZero 代币。它的分发对于我们预计它会在 2024 年的前六个月内发布。”

Airdrops and the Potential Long-Term Impact on DeFi Protocols

空投和对 DeFi 协议的潜在长期影响

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.

虽然空投旨在通过早期采用者激励措施来促进协议的使用，但它们也引起了人们对专业空投猎人或抢占者潜在利用的担忧。这些人可能会创建多个加密货币钱包来进行相同的空投，但无意利用该协议。他们通常在领取奖励后立即出售，这可能会损害空投代币的价值。

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 的匿名开发者 Banteg 对 Starknet 的空投资格名单中充斥着大量空投抢占者表示担忧。据报道，130 万个符合条件的钱包地址中约有 701,544 个与空投抢注者控制的重复或重命名的 GitHub 帐户相关联。

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，中国当局逮捕了一名 StarkNet 空投身份伪造者，他冒充其他用户，代表他们领取了超过 40,000 个 STRK 代币，并将其转换为价值约 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，空投猎人被发现将 1,496 个钱包中价值 330 万美元的 Arbitrum (ARB) 空投代币合并到两个受控钱包中。

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.

这些空投抢注者往往会迅速处置其积累的奖励，通常会导致新空投代币的价值迅速下降。这种做法还会阻碍真正的社区参与和 DeFi 协议的长期可持续性。
