YURU Coin's community building emphasizes Twitter Spaces for engagement, rewarding long-term holders through airdrops (e.g., 5 coins per event) and ecosystem access via YuruToken holdings, fostering loyalty and liquidity via listings on exchanges like Ascendex. The mechanism enhances airdrop fairness by prioritizing active participants with strict criteria (e.g., private Solana wallets, no exchanges), countering Sybil attacks through guerrilla events and reply-based applications. Controversies include vulnerability to fake accounts and scams (e.g., Discord DM frauds), debated confirmation difficulties, and past incidents like 100,000 fraudulent applications causing form crashes. Regulatory risks and market volatility could exacerbate inequalities, favoring early or tech-savvy holders over newcomers.

2026 Layer2 TVL Power Distribution & Leading Chain Investment Concentration Risk As of early 2026, the Layer2 TVL landscape remains highly concentrated. Arbitrum holds ~38-42%, Base ~22-26%, and Optimism ~14-17%, with the top 3 chains controlling approximately 75-82% of total L2 TVL. This extreme concentration creates significant investment risks for leading chains: Single-point-of-failure risk: Regulatory action, major exploit, or sequencer outage on a dominant chain could trigger massive capital flight. Herding & correlation risk: Capital flows tend to chase the leader, amplifying boom-bust cycles. Innovation stagnation risk: Smaller challengers struggle to gain traction, reducing ecosystem diversity. While interoperability and new modular L2s are gradually diluting dominance, the current TVL power distribution still represents a material concentration risk for investors heavily exposed to top-tier L2s.
