They asserted that all minters of Libertas Omnibus NFTs qualified under official standards. Earlier, blockchain researcher SoEasy accused the team on June 17 of distributing Libertas Omnibus NFTs to ineligible acquaintances. SoEasy claimed these “internal mintings” allowed insiders to mint ZK tokens without meeting airdrop criteria. A Matter Labs representative stated, “Users can mint Libertas Omnibus NFTs through various means.” One group of eligible users consisted of individuals who interacted with the top 100 ranked zkSync NFTs, while another comprised “event attendees who visited our booth or table and could scan a one-time QR code to mint NFTs.”
