LayerZero Introduces Self-Reporting Mechanism to Address Sybil Activity

a year ago


Cointelegraph reported that LayerZero Labs has introduced a solution to tackle sybil activity, also known as "airdrop farming." The developers of the cross-chain communication protocol have implemented a self-reporting mechanism to reward sybil users with 15% of their token allocation in exchange for honesty over a 14-day period.

According to a post by LayerZero on May 3, the protocol aims to distribute tokens to sincere network participants rather than those involved in sybil farming practices. Sybil farming involves the creation of fake accounts to unfairly obtain tokens or rewards. By promoting a fair token distribution, the developers hope to benefit contributors who positively influence the network's growth, as opposed to those exploiting it with deceptive methods like sybil farming.

To combat the negative impact of sybil activity, LayerZero Labs encourages users engaging in such behavior to voluntarily come forward and self-report within a specific timeframe to receive the 15% token allocation without facing repercussions. Users must connect a wallet associated with sybil activity and sign a message to verify ownership during the self-reporting process.

For those who fail to self-report by May 17, LayerZero Labs will take action. The initial phase involves publicly identifying sybil users who do not voluntarily report, followed by a second phase allowing community members to report suspicious sybil activity.

The introduction of the self-reporting mechanism coincides with the recent snapshot on May 1 related to a potential airdrop distribution to community members. This snapshot serves as the eligibility deadline for the upcoming token airdrop, as displayed in a graphic shared by the LayerZero Labs team.
