Optimism launches third airdrop, users do not need to apply
Optimism, a well-known Ethereum second-layer solution (Layer 2) project, has launched 2 airdrop events since its launch to reward early participants and active users who continue to contribute to the ecosystem.
On September 19, Optimism announced the launch of its third airdrop, and has distributed approximately 19.4 million cryptocurrency OP to eligible users, with a total value of approximately US$27 million at the time. Who can receive it?
Optimism stated that it will directly distribute airdrop rewards to eligible users without applying to official channels to receive them. There are 31,870 independent wallet addresses that are eligible. The airdrop rewards are divided into two categories: governance delegation rewards and voting representative bonuses. Each address can receive up to 10,000 $OP, which is currently worth approximately US$13,750.
Who can receive the Optimism airdrop? Actively participate in governance and you will get a share
Users who can get the Optimism airdrop have actively participated in Optimism's decentralized governance system "Optimism Collective" between January 20 and July 20, 2023. The way to participate in governance is very simple, that is, to entrust $OP to the Optimism governance system. To get the airdrop, the number and number of days of your entrusted $OP must meet the following formula:
Optimism Cummultive Delegated OP (cumulative delegated $OP value) = delegated $OP quantity x delegated days＞18,000
Under normal circumstances, if you entrust 181 $OP and continue for 100 days, the cumulative entrustment value can exceed 18,000, which meets the airspace investment qualification;
However, if it is delegated to a voting representative, the accumulated delegation value can be more than 9,000 to enjoy the airspace investment qualification.
Optimism stated that if users meet the requirements, they will be able to receive airdrop rewards after September 15.
Optimism's total locked-in amount exceeds 650 million Mg, and there are still 570 million airdrop opportunities in the future
Since its launch in 2021, Optimism has continued to expand its ecosystem. Last year, Optimism launched OP Stack, an open modular toolkit that makes it easier for developers to use and develop Layer 2 blockchains, greatly reducing the development threshold. Optimism has also expanded its goals, hoping to develop into a more diverse and powerful superchain.
In addition to the Optimism itself, its ecosystem also includes the Base blockchain, Zora NFT issuance platform, Aevo, and Public Goods Network. According to DefiLlama data, the total locked value of Optimism on the chain has reached 658 million US dollars, making it the sixth largest blockchain in the world, only behind Arbitrum and Polygon.
In addition to the steadily growing ecosystem, Optimism's continuous airdrops are also one of the keys to retaining users. According to the token distribution chart initially released by Optimism, the second airdrop distributed about 11.7 million $OPs, the third distributed about 19.4 million $OPs, and there are still 570 million tokens left that have the opportunity to continue to be airdropped in the future.
If you are interested in the Optimism project and the airdrop, but accidentally missed this airdrop, you may want to start studying in depth how to participate in the governance system and prepare for potential airdrops.
However, it should be noted that since participation in Optimism governance requires holding $OP, the risk of the currency's rise and fall must be taken into account, and try not to use funds that will affect your life to participate.
