Linea Filters Out Over 500,000 Sybil Accounts Before Airdrop
Linea, a layer-2 zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) rollup, has removed over 516,000 Sybil accounts prior to its airdrop. This action was taken after a review with Nansen to identify and eliminate fraudulent activities among users.
Key Actions
- Initial analysis detected 516,960 suspicious addresses out of 1,297,203 eligible for the airdrop.
- After filtering, legitimate addresses were reduced to 780,243.
- Users can check if their wallets are marked as Sybil accounts and appeal if necessary.
This process aims to ensure fairness in the airdrop distribution.
Community Engagement and Governance
- In November 2024, Linea launched the Linea Association, a Swiss nonprofit focused on the protocol’s growth and governance.
- The association will manage open-source technology development and ecosystem growth.
- Token holder governance will empower token holders in decision-making regarding the Association's activities.
Decentralization is emphasized within the crypto sector, with other projects like Cardano also pursuing similar goals through recent upgrades. The Linea Association is positioned to advance these objectives further.
