While I appreciate your efforts to ensure fairness in the distribution of airdrops, I must point out that it’s important to consider various factors before finalizing the criteria for landing. It’s crucial to ensure that the criteria are not too stringent, as this may prevent potential participants from joining and using the network.
it actually a good decision but maybe some rewards for new users as they are trying out products that are new to them but more rewards should be established for frequent supporters.
agree on everything
But to add, in the case of number 3, it is not easy to leave an amount excluding gas in a bear market like now.
We suggest that you set a minimum amount of money left over, at least $10. 
Airdrop must be done. The experience of staeknet network is very poor now, and it is difficult to retain loyal users. Doing some incentive activities can better retain more users.
My opinion is that we to take in consideration 3 points that is
- number of transactions
- Amount of transaction
- transactions executed in days term.
These 3 factors need to take in account to weighted average the amount of airdrop and further a max cap on quantity for a user or wallet so that a single whale wallet don’t get a high quantity of coins to dump when listing.
Drop should be! When the community is given money, and even for activity, the community feels the strength of the project and many will not pour into a glass, but will carry coins for staking, because they will believe in the project that rewarded them. And the sibyl must be fought by increasing the number of transactions, volume, increasing the criteria for entering the drop. Multi-acquisitions - it was born from weak drop rules! You need to make at least 100 transactions, the volume is 10,000 and the activity is 3 months, and this is the minimum for entering the drop - then all the sibyls will be eliminated. And give a person 1000 dollars for 10 transactions?!..that’s where the sibyls come from and strong network users suffer because of this.
I think there must be airdrops now, which is a good incentive. At the same time, given that the current ecology is still in its early stages, airdrops should still be early.
Not al all to agree with you
We can verify by who have minted StarknetID and made some tx in several times maybe more than 4-5 tx per month
There’re several factors should be counted: NOT only txns + smart contracts interaction, because following your way, some users will rely only to making simple USDT-USDC swap, I don’t think it’s right.
Should be interaction with various protocols + some txns average + total volume for all-time + plus off-chain interaction + might be some testnet interaction (but not prior)
C=C is common sense in sales market 
Airdrops certainly have a concept of rewards, but I think they open up opportunities for promotion and access to the services that come with them.
were trying to build community so I dont care what they swap as long as they are on starknet it shouldnt matter.
Very bias.
nfact what is the argument here? What token are we launching? Isn’t it starknet token? What is the core ethos of web3? The starknet community are by right the users of starknet!
Saying People used starkex without any expectations of airdrop and people who now used starkgate as it was intended are now the airdrop farmers is bias and ridiculous. People used dydx genuinely and also in expectations of airdrop and they got it, people used imx genuinely and some in expectations of airdrop and they also got it. This same are about to get the strk token airdrop made for the starknet community and you say they didn’t use starkex products in anticipation of an airdrop? Lol.
Let’s be factual here, if no one used starkgate how would it be tested? Are you now saying that everyone that used starkgate did that because they were expecting an airdrop? Besides there was no token announcement as at the time Mainnet alpha launched.
Your points are vague. This is not enough reasons to totally ignore starknet users!
Some great takes here.
Just some thoughts …
The decentralization will be fine as long as egregious sybil hunting is weeded out.
Airdrops work these days as marketing tools as well as incentives or to bootstrap loyal / extra community members
Some specific points:
- A lot of long (it goes fast!) time users / testers will have Metamask and Argent or Braavos …so be careful re what is sybil and not.
if a user used IMX (StarkEx) & bridged to play Gods, bought NFTs on marketplace etc on Metamask …then they try out Starknet and test it using Argent Wallet … test + use mainnet.
2)…reward StarkEx + Starknet bridgers …bridged to IMX and Starknet then like Arbitrum just exclude anyone who only ever used the tech for 48 hours ….multipliers for amounts of time / txs/ & smart contracts. Multiplier for Gitcoin ? etc etc
- please acknowledge testers … after recent drops not even mentioning testers … I think we have to acknowledge nothing will be perfect and you need people testing the tech even if some expect an incentive for time / effort …or at least add bonus or multiplier while rewarding people who spent $ bridging & paying (sometimes high gas) if they ALSO they tested starknet. Doing this over 3, 6, 9 months etc
You need to think about when is a good time to do an airdrop.
I think the most important thing is to run the airdrop at the timing when you can get the most attention in the market.
There are many airdrop plans in many projects right now
We also need to think about the airdrop timing.
Basically I agree with your points but I’d like to suggest a more holistic approach.
-
Txn numbers is not effective to eliminate sybill. It can be easily manipulated. Do you think it is normal behaviour to have > 50 txn in 3 or 6 months ? Airdrop farmers had learned the lesson from Arbitrum airdrop.
-
The amount funds in transaction. It benefit only whales and sharks. 95% average Joe are eliminated.
It maybe nothing for u guys living in USA & Europe to have >$100 transaction and $50 hold in wallet, but in some parts of Asia and Africa, that is a month salary.
In addition to the above, there are 5 factors to consider airdrop.
- On-Chain Transaction (txn)
- The amount fund in transaction ($)
- The amount of fund hold in wallet ($)
- Wallet age
- Connection to numbers of Blockchains
Each factor should not be calculated separately but must be calculated based on weight to get the average score.
I think Gitcoin Passport is the most effective tool so far to eliminate sybill (airdrop farmers), apply for both Testnet and Mainnet Wallet.
Don’t try to reinvent the wheel.Just work on making it better than anyone else
I really agree with your idea. I think the first stage can attract more users, and the second stage can convert users into loyal fans.
From my perspective, the best way to weed out the Sybil is “weakening the value of tokens”. I don’t know when it started, airdrop became a must and everyone is expecting that. The aim of airdrop is to encourage the early engagement and support, not only the community members but also the developers. I expect that the airdrop can lead the ecosystem to the positive way. Otherwise, most of the users will suddenly leave Starknet after the airdrop.
I disagree. I don’t trade weekly, I trade annually. I’m a Hodler. Trying out Starket to decide whether to buy this token or not!
Not just judge Sybils by left assets , NFTs also. I’m a real user and deposited about 200$ , but buy lots of NFTs of Briq .I have no money left in my account. But I have valued NFTs and Txs. these are important too if there’s a incentive plan. Hope will judge from lots of aspects.
