 1. LayerZero: Phase One Network Snapshot Completed, Sybil Hunt Operation Initiate link
 On May 2nd, LayerZero Labs announced via Twitter that they had completed the Phase One snapshot at UTC time 11:59:59 PM on May 1st, 2024. LayerZero indicated that more details would be forthcoming soon, suggesting another large-scale project involving airdrops and token issuance. LayerZero Labs secured funding in 2023 with an estimated valuation of $3 billion, with investors including Multicoin, Binance Labs, a16z, and Sequoia Capital.
 On May 4th, LayerZero tweeted that token distribution would prioritize loyal users (rather than witch users) in alignment with protocol best interests. For sybil users, two options were presented: voluntarily report witch addresses before May 17th to receive an expected 15% allocation, or risk being flagged by LayerZero’s internal witch-hunting efforts or bounty hunters, after which reporting would be invalid and no tokens would be received. Activities considered witchcraft included minting “worthless” NFTs solely for cross-chain transfers, using popular “witch mining” apps like Merkly, L2Pass, L2Marathon, and repeatedly bridging small amounts like $0.01 across different chains.
 Notably, Merkly is listed as part of LayerZero’s ecosystem on their official website. Merkly advisor and KOL CC2 expressed skepticism via Twitter, suggesting that the LayerZero airdrop might be a scam.
 2. Eigenlayer Releases Whitepaper on GitHub and Launches Airdrop Claim Page link
 Eigenlayer released its whitepaper on GitHub this week, detailing the EIGEN token structure. Additionally, Eigenlayer launched an airdrop claiming page, set to open on May 10th.

Furthermore, 29.5% of the tokens have been allocated to investors, with early contributors receiving 25.5%.
 Following the whitepaper release and community feedback, the Eigen Foundation shared plans to distribute additional EIGEN tokens to the community. Users who interacted with EigenLayer before April 29th will receive an extra 100 EIGEN tokens. This additional airdrop will be reflected in allocations applied for after May 10th. After a simple Sybil filtering process, all Season 1 users will receive at least 110 EIGEN tokens. Season 2 users who started staking between March 15th and April 29th will also receive at least 100 EIGEN tokens. Users staking after April 29th are not included.
 EIGEN tokens will unlock upon the launch of new <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Category Features" href="https://thebittimes.com/features.html">Features</a> and further decentralization, targeting deployment on the mainnet by September 30, 2024.
