Let's talk data. According to @zksync / @TheZKNation's own airdrop FAQ, two primary criteria determine a protocol's "allocation eligibility" for the airdrop (which is if a protocol is eligible for some airdrop; yes or no): 1. Top DeFi Protocols on zkSync with >$2 million TVL: ✅ - Zerolend’s TVL at snapshot: 27 million - Zerolend’s Current TVL: 10 million 2. Top community-led growth ✅  - Over 300k users and community members ZeroLend meets both criteria. Thus, ZeroLend's "allocation eligibility" is YES and undeniably qualifies for "some" airdrop allocation. -- The same documentation outlines other factors considered when determining the "allocation size": (please note: allocation size and not the allocation eligibility itself - which is how much tokens should be allocated to eligible protocols) • Loyalty to the ZKsync ecosystem as their main home ❌  zkSync considered deploying our native token on another chain as disloyal but the fact is that we never got enough support from the marketing and BD team at @zksync and hence were forced to move elsewhere • Maturity metrics: TVL, size of community, levels of activity ✅ 300k users 10 mil+ current TVL 23 mil+ TVL at snapshot, over 80% market share in lending • Growth potential ✅ Campaigns planned with blue chip projects including @circle @LidoFinance @KelpDAO @ether_fi @ethena and others. expected to triple our TVL before next quarter. • Dedication to growing ZKsync communities ✅ Multiple campaigns with smaller ecosystem partners like @getclave @HoldstationW @Zyfi_org @spacefi_io @koi_finance and numerous others. Also attended and co-hosted events/conferences in support of zkSync. -- Comparison with Similar Projects: Comparing allocation with projects exhibiting similar parameters 3/4 fulfilled (large community, high TVL, but not zkSync-loyal / cross chain): Maverick @mavprotocol - 5,644,020 $ZK SyncSwap @syncswap - 5,644,020 $ZK Izumi @izumi_Finance - 2,452,128 $ZK ZeroLend - 0 Not considering the various blue chips that have governance on the mainnet. -- Thus we can debate all day on the "allocation size" ZeroLend should have received. But we cannot debate on the "allocation eligibility" of ZeroLend. That's it. That's the data right there. -- Source: docs.zknation.io/zk-token/zk…
