Arbitrum daily revenue surges 16,500% after LayerZero’s ZRO launch

LayerZero’s “not an airdrop” ZRO token airdrop has spurred a new peak for Arbitrum’s daily revenue.

LayerZero’s token launch on June 20 caused a massive surge in fees on Arbitrum, leading to a record $3.43 million daily revenue for the blockchain, a bump of around 16,680% compared to ththe day prior.

LayerZero launched the ZRO token on Thursday but triggered criticism over its obligatory “donation” mechanism — which requires claimants to spend a small amount of money per token to nab their allocation.

These mechanics pushed up the average gas fees on the blockchain, which hit 89 cents, up from its typical less-than-1-cent fee.

How to generate passive income with cryptocurrency airdrops

Hunting for crypto airdrop opportunities and cashing in on airdrop rewards can be a thrilling way to bag some extra coins, but beware, not every “drop” is gold.

Cryptocurrency airdrops are a marketing strategy crypto projects use to give away free coins or tokens to certain wallet addresses of active users. Airdrops allow users to expand their crypto portfolio without extra costs and earn money by holding these tokens, hoping their value will increase in the future.

Launching airdrops serves several objectives. Firstly, they help create buzz around a project or cryptocurrency. By giving away free tokens, companies can spread awareness and quickly grow their user bases. Airdrops can also boost liquidity as more users start trading the new tokens. Additionally, companies can reward loyal users and foster community building by encouraging participation and interaction with the project.

Individuals typically participate in certain activities, such as joining a project’s social media account, owning a particular cryptocurrency, or engaging with the project’s community. Airdrops are usually small in value — below $10 — and may lack liquidity. To make easy money, some users join an airdrop and sell off the coins immediately, potentially driving the price down.

LayerZero tackles sybil activity with self-reporting mechanism

LayerZero Labs will enforce consequences for those who don’t self-report by May 17, 2024.

LayerZero Labs has unveiled a solution to address sybil activity, often known as ‘airdrop farming.' The creator of the cross-chain communication protocol introduced a self-reporting mechanism, offering sybil users 15% of their planned token allocation for honesty within a defined 14-day period.

The developer stated in a May 3 post on X that it believes it’s important for their protocol to distribute tokens to genuine, committed network users rather than individuals who engage in sybil farming.

Sybil farming refers to the practice of creating multiple fake accounts to unfairly acquire tokens or rewards. The developers want to ensure that their token distribution benefits those who contribute positively to the network’s growth and sustainability rather than those who exploit it through deceptive tactics like sybil farming.
