[5/25 Blockchain News Summary] LayerZero airdrop snapshot, ZKsync controversy, TON outbreak, Binance Alpha ongoing.
Today, the blockchain sector is still bustling, from the dynamics of mainstream Layer 2 projects to activities on the Binance platform, and news on on-chain security and regulation, all engaging the attention of investors and users. Below is a comprehensive summary of the on-chain information and events worth tracking today.
1. LayerZero airdrop snapshot has been completed, community sentiment is boiling.
The LayerZero team announced early this morning that the airdrop snapshot has been completed, and eligible users will receive token airdrops in the coming weeks. Following the news, a large number of users checked to see if they participated in the Stargate cross-chain bridge or other interaction records. It is rumored that some addresses with a high volume of interactions may be filtered as 'witch behavior', sparking community controversy.
Extended observation: This airdrop is expected to be one of the largest in the first half of 2025, possibly replicating the 'sell pressure after the peak' effect seen during the Arbitrum period. It is recommended that conservative investors wait and observe for a few hours after the opening before taking action.
2. ZKsync officially announced airdrop rules, and the community has begun to express divided voices.
ZKsync has not comprehensively considered early contributors, DeFi participants, GitHub development contributions, and other groups in its airdrop rules, leading to community dissatisfaction. The #ZKsyncScam tag has started to circulate on Twitter, with users showing examples of having over a hundred interactions but not receiving allocations.
Interaction does not equal eligibility, suspected to be primarily based on specific DApp usage records.
Most multi-wallet interactors have been excluded, and the official anti-witch strategy is aggressive.

3. The total locked value (TVL) on the TON chain has surpassed $200 million, with Notcoin leading the ecosystem.
The TON blockchain is further fermenting under strong promotion from Telegram. After Notcoin launched its Staking model, user activity and liquidity surged significantly. Platforms like Tonstakers and STON.fi have also set new trading volume records, pushing the overall TVL to a historic high.
Projects to watch: Notcoin (NOT), Tonstakers, TonUP IDO platform.
4. Binance Alpha mission is in full swing, complete it to receive rewards.
Binance is holding the [Alpha Drop event], currently ongoing. Enter the Binance App homepage > click 'Events' > Alpha to participate.
A little reminder: Some tasks can be completed repeatedly each day, remember to set an alarm reminder. The more you complete, the higher the chances of winning subsequent raffles/airdrops.
5. SEC issues another warning to U.S. CEX, causing short-term market fluctuations.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued another Wells Notice to a well-known centralized exchange, indicating its involvement in unregistered securities trading. This has caused a small wave of panic in the market, with BTC dropping nearly 1.3% shortly after the news was released, but it then stabilized. Such warnings have become routine, and market reactions are becoming more rational. In the long run, regulatory implementation will still help legitimize assets and facilitate lawful entry.
6. Fake Base application scams are rampant, over $200,000 stolen in just 24 hours.
The cybersecurity platform ScamSniffer has issued a warning that a batch of fake Base chain DApp scam websites has recently spread through social media and Telegram. Users who click on phishing links and sign will have their wallets emptied.
