LayerZero Sybil Checker

⚠️ LayerZero has announced a list of 803,093 Sybil wallets, of which 500,000 were found by them and 300,000 reported themselves. By the way, remember when Bryan wrote that the wallets that reported themselves wouldn't be published so they wouldn't be excluded from future projects? Looks like he was bluffing 😂.

Well, let's check: LayerZero Sybil Checker


Initially, they sorted out 2,000,000 wallets but decided to reduce it to 800,000. They write:
"The list is preliminary. Its goal is to exclude large groups of addresses from the list of Sybil hunters, but it should not be considered final until the final report is published. For example, an address may be removed from the Sybil list when we update the methodology."

The primary criteria for Sybil wallets included:
✔️ Wallets funded from a single exchange within a short period (~24 hours).
✔️ Wallets with similar transactions in terms of protocols and amounts between wallets.
✔️ Wallets with approximately the same number of transactions.

It should be noted that when L0 and other projects started to be multied a couple of years ago, few people considered how significant and obvious the correctness of the initial wallet funding would be.

Well, boast and see if you can find your wallets on the list.
