This text is purely a product of my imagination—a humble and speculative view on what a $LENS airdrop might look like during its migration to zkSync. Please do not take this as an absolute truth; the Lens Protocol team has a comprehensive understanding of the environment and is best positioned to guide these processes. I just wanted to imagine and share my perspective.

As the Lens Protocol prepares to migrate to the Layer 2 scaling solution zkSync, we can envision a dynamic and carefully planned $LENS token airdrop. This airdrop could reward early users, Gitcoin donors, and those who have actively explored partner applications within the Lens platform, creating incentives for broader zkSync adoption.

1.

Imagined Eligibility Criteria

  • Pioneering Users: Imagine that those who have interacted with the Lens Protocol since its early days are at the forefront of receiving this airdrop.
  • Active Contributors: Also imagine that users who have staked $LENS tokens, participated in governance, or frequently interacted with partner apps (Explore apps on Lens) are considered. Their actions within Polygon and with Lens ecosystem apps could potentially amplify their rewards.
  • Gitcoin Donors: Consider the possibility of the protocol recognizing Gitcoin donors who have supported public goods within the Ethereum ecosystem, offering them a share of $LENS tokens as a gesture of appreciation.

2.

Imagined Distribution in Two Phases

  • First Phase: CLAIM Button on Profile: In the first phase, imagine that users could claim 30% of the tokens through a CLAIM button on their profiles, encouraging direct and accessible engagement.
  • Second Phase: Direct Distribution to Wallets: In the second phase, the remaining 70% could be distributed directly to the wallets of eligible users, providing a streamlined and hassle-free experience.

3.

Snapshot and Distribution Mechanics

  • Snapshot Vision: Imagine a snapshot being taken across all networks and then cross-referenced and optimized until reaching zkSync, capturing activities such as interactions, participation in partner apps, and contributions to Lens ecosystem projects. Also, imagine the inclusion of Gitcoin donors who supported public interest projects.
  • Direct Wallet Distribution: Visualize the airdrop being sent directly to the wallets of eligible users, in a straightforward and efficient manner.

Airdrop Claiming Process

  • Simple and Gasless Process: Imagine a gasless claiming process where tokens are easily accessible without additional costs to the user.
  • Phased Claiming: Each phase of the airdrop could encourage users to return to zkSync to claim additional tokens, fostering ongoing and deeper engagement with the ecosystem.

Again, please note that this is merely an exercise in imagination. The actual $LENS airdrop, if it occurs, will be determined by the Lens Protocol team based on their strategic vision and deep understanding of the ecosystem. I just wanted to share my humble perspective.
