Lighter: The Witch Account points will be reallocated to eligible traders, with no future dual-token/equity structure
BlockBeats News, December 28th, Lighter Founder and CEO Vladimir Novakovski stated in today's Community Space that the anti-cheat algorithm uses data science and clustering methods to identify, target, and reallocate points from witch accounts to eligible traders. There is an appeal mechanism for the witch screening process, and so far the number of appeals has been lower than expected. If users feel that the algorithm is unfair, they are welcome to fill out the appeal form built into Discord. Specific algorithm details will not be disclosed to avoid targeted optimization. Lighter is confident in the final witch determination results, but if there are indeed misjudgments, please be sure to appeal.
Furthermore, the large amount of tokens transferred to the trading platform is unrelated to the airdrop and is intended to secure the allocation shares of investors and the team. The ultimate goal is to accumulate value to the token, not equity, and a dual token/equity structure will not be adopted in the future.
