LayerZero is about to launch its token, which community projects have the opportunity to receive an Airdrop?
Author: Peng Sun, Foresight News
On May 11th, LayerZero Labs released the 'Protocol RFP' proposal in the community, marking the final determination of the first step in TGE distribution. This RFP allows each project to formulate its own distribution criteria based on its overall token allocation. All projects that have deployed OApp, OFT, or ONFT contracts on the mainnet before Snapshot #1 and made declarations on LayerZero Scan are eligible to submit proposals.
The Protocol RFP proposal application ended on May 31, and the partner project address was also confirmed before 08:00 on June 6. Recently, Bryan Pellegrino, co-founder and CEO of LayerZero, stated that the final version of the witch's address list will be announced before the end of June, and the airdrop was planned for this month. Currently, more than 200 protocols have submitted RFPs, and we will select some of them to share with the readers.
