Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility for the ZRO airdrop was determined through several phases:

  • Sybil Filtering: Users who self-reported Sybil activity received 15% of their intended allocation. Others were disqualified.
  • Protocol RFP (3% of ZRO Supply): Wallets listed in an approved Protocol RFP submission received between 5 and 10,000 ZRO.
    • Eligibility factors:
      • Number of messages sent before/after the snapshot
      • Time since first interaction with LayerZero
      • Application type (OApp, OFT, ONFT)
  • Core Distribution (5.5% of ZRO Supply): Rewarded users based on protocol fees paid before the snapshot.
    • Minimum 25 ZRO, maximum 5,000 ZRO.
    • Transactions under $1 and valueless NFTs were deweighted by 80%.
    • Multipliers for early and post-snapshot users.

Reallocation Rules (Post-TGE Adjustment):

  • Eligible: Users who claimed ZRO and interacted with LayerZero after the Token Generation Event (TGE).
  • Ineligible: Users who claimed but had no transactions after TGE, and Sybil-flagged wallets.
  • Eligible wallets received a pro-rata share of unclaimed tokens based on gas fees spent post-TGE.

Additional Information

  • The total ZRO supply is 1 billion tokens.
  • Strategic partners (investors, advisors) received 322M ZRO (32.2%), locked for 1 year, with a 3-year vesting schedule.
  • Core contributors (team members) received 255M ZRO (25.5%), also under a 3-year vesting schedule.
  • Governance Mechanism: ZRO holders can vote on activating or deactivating the protocol’s fee switch via an immutable onchain referendum every six months.
  • Fees: LayerZero may charge fees equal to the verification/execution costs of cross-chain messages.
  • Unclaimed Tokens: Any ZRO left unclaimed after 30 days will be allocated to the LayerZero Foundation.
