#代币经济学与设计 Lighter's Sybil filtering mechanism has recently sparked quite a bit of discussion. Let me break down the core logic for everyone.

First, one thing to clarify: the project team setting up an appeal channel is a sign of sincerity, but what does it mean if the number of appeals is lower than expected? Most people actually don't realize they've been filtered out or don't know how to appeal at all. There's an information gap here.

Looking at the confidentiality of the algorithm—他们不透露细节是防止被针对性优化，这个逻辑站得住脚。But conversely, this also means that the difficulty of early engagement will increase, and Sybil protection is definitely more stringent than it appears on the surface.

The most critical point is the token design philosophy: Lighter explicitly states that all stakeholders (early users, team, investors) are bound to the token, with no two-way structure. What does this imply? The token value is directly linked to the project's survival, and early participation and token distribution weight are especially important.

For us, the "grinding" community, the operational suggestions are as follows:

1. **Understand the appeal mechanism in advance**—Keep it in your Discord channel, just in case you get mistakenly filtered and need to appeal
2. **Prioritize interaction quality**—Since Sybil protection has been upgraded, don't think about just increasing volume; precise interactions are more valuable
3. **Pay attention to token economics**—The token is the only value anchor; the initial distribution rules directly affect future returns

Overall, the simpler the token model of such projects, the more you should be cautious about the strictness of early filtering. But precisely because of this, early users who pass the filter will have greater weight.
