Introducing "I'm a first class Linea Citizen" - our campaign to combat bots and prioritize genuine user engagement in the Linea Voyage Quest. Partnering with Gitcoin Passport, Galxe Passport and with Guild.xyz,we're determined to create a fair and authentic community experience. We started this Voyage campaign to stress test the network preparing for mainnet launch. We don't have issues with bots or sybils as they help us to reach our goal. But if bots starts to consume all resources on Linea and prevent real humans from being able to participate to the quest, then we have an issue.
To differentiate between humans and bots, and create a STRONG disincentive to run bots or sybils, we've implemented a unique system that rewards users with recognized credentials.
By performing this task, users that will prove to be real humans, will receive a very high amount of points. This is intentional and made in order to place human users at the forefront of the leaderboard for the Linea Voyage Quest.
Our objective is not to censor anyone or anything, but to reward genuine human participation and discourage bot misuse. With this approach we aim to push at the bottom of the leaderboard all bots and sybils, this will impact the commemorative NFT drop as the lower part of the leaderboard (that hopefully will include only bots and sybils) will not justify at all the resources and time to build and operate bots or sybils on the tasks.
The campaign will continue until the Linea Voyage Quest concludes. It's important to highlight that users have the flexibility to choose the credential they prefer for proving their humanity, and there are no specific requirements in this regard.
Users who already possess a Gitcoin Passport or a Galxe Passport linked to the address they use for the Linea Voyage Quest on Galxe, or those who have signed up as Linea community members on guild.xyz, don't need to take any further steps. They can simply utilize their existing passport and reap the associated benefits.
We encourage all our users to actively participate in this campaign and take advantage of the high amount of points that can be earned by obtaining a valid human verification. Together, we can forge a path that celebrates human authenticity and diminishes the impact of automated bots, highlighting that Linea will be a human centric scalability Layer on top of Ethereum.
PLEASE NOTE: we have seen some users reporting that they have been requested to pay money/cryptoassets in order to receive one of the passports mentioned above. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT WE WILL NEVER ASK YOU ANY MONEY OR FUND AND WILL NEVER PM YOUR FIRST. Please, be mindful of scammers.
