Basically, the way the zksync team found to fight sybils was by heavily prioritizing assets and LP.
More Era on-chain liquidity+More time being a LP = larger allocation.
Large bot farms are, on average, not whales, and they transact cyclically with not-so-large capital amounts.
Top allocation is stated as 100K in the docs, but that's not true (at least with current allocations). Wallet 0x521aacb43d89e1b8ffd64d9ef76b0a1074dedaf8 is eligible for 160,495 tokens, so there's an inconsistency there. There are 155 users (out of 690K) with more than 100K $ZK.
The "Usage-based Allocation" by points system is clever and similar to Arbitrum (which is generally regarded as a success) - the complaints I'm reading are regarding the barrier to the capital amount.
Every address that qualified for at least one point was assigned an amount of $ZK tokens based on its liquidity bridged to ZKsync Era. If less than 450 tokens, then not eligible. This is what excluded shrimps and the cornerstone of people not being eligible.
Also, using just Era for the liquidity considerations probably also excluded many OG users that transacted in Lite back then. They leaned toward Era in favour of Lite.
Of cour,se multipliers and boosts (see steps 2 and 3 of the blog post) also impacted allocation, but the base calc was done taking liquidity as the base layer.
I doubt any changes will be made at this point. Remember the Arbitrum controversy with AIP-1?

#BREAKING: Elon Musk & Steve Wozniak Ask for a Pause on A.I due to โProfound Risks to Societyโ
Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, Andrew Yang and other key figures have called for an immediate pause on A.I. due to the profound risk it poses society.
The issues they highlighted were:
1. A.I. developers are locked in a race to deploy powerful digital โmindsโ that even the creators cannot understand, predict or control.
2. Gary Marcus argued that A.I. is unnecessarily shaping the direction of our world.
3. โA.I. development has seen corporate irresponsibility, widespread adoption, lack of regulation and a huge number of unknownsโ.
4. Elon Musk asked for a pause on systems that are more powerful than GPT-4 to introduce safety protocols.
5. The first letter asks for government intervention to institute a moratorium, if there isnโt an immediate pause.
6. A.I. development should only continue once we know itโs positive impact, and that we can manage the risks
Can A.I. lead to a dystopian future?
Will the world follow the recommendations of @elonmusk and @stevewoz?
