📊 1. +433% in activity after the announcement of the second airdrop
Just after announcing its second airdrop round, daily activity on LayerZero skyrocketed from 18,400 to 98,000 messages, a brutal increase of 433%
This shows that the community reacted quickly: more volume = more real adoption.
🎯 2. It’s not just for “farmers”, but for active users
What’s new? It’s no longer enough to have claimed in the first round.
The protocol excluded those who claimed once and never interacted again, prioritizing those who truly use their bridges and apps.
🔗 3. How do you qualify for the airdrop?
✅ You made bridges on platforms like Stargate, Jumper, or Bungee
✅ You used DEXs and provided liquidity in pools
✅ You participated in governance or active communities
✅ You maintain recent interaction with the ecosystem
An article specifically highlights:
“Providing liquidity in Stargate and using cross-chain swaps offers on-chain evidence of real participation”
🔐 4. Why is this approach key?
Better for the community: reward real users
Drives real usage: more activity = greater robustness of the protocol
Discourages extreme farming: creates a more genuine community
🚀 5. What you could earn
Based on previous distribution and the new approach:
Active users can earn between $2,000 and $15,000 USD in value
Furthermore, institutional funds and stablecoins use LayerZero, which strengthens its real-use value
👀 6. What’s coming in 2025?
Integration of new blockchains like Aptos, Sui, Base (already announced)
New dApps building on this protocol, even in gaming, DeFi, or NFTs
Stronger community and constant activity if this model is maintained
⚙️ 7. What to do now 👇
Interact with LayerZero apps: Stargate, Jumper, Bungee, etc.
Provide liquidity or make cross-chain swaps
Participate in communities + official communities/social media
Stay active in the next 4–8 weeks
This increases your chances of qualifying for this and future rounds.
