While Web3 users were focused on the Starknet airdrop event on February 20th, the day’s good news came from the popular Ethereum Layer-2 network Optimism. In its fourth airdrop event, Optimism surprised the day by distributing over 10 million OP tokens to 22,998 users. This particular airdrop event was aimed at NFT artists and stood out as Optimism’s first airdrop event across its Superchain.
The Day’s Surprise Comes from Optimism
Optimism team discussed an eye-catching airdrop event for its users in an article published on Mirror. The final participation date for the event was set by the team as January 10, 2024.
In this airdrop event aimed at NFT artists, users earned the right to receive OP tokens based on NFTs they published on Zora, Base, Ethereum, or on the Optimism side. The team’s statement also included an important emphasis on the need for artists in every major community. According to data announced by Optimism, more than 200,000 addresses have created NFT collections on the OP Superchain to date.
An important warning also came from the team regarding this airdrop event. The team warned users against the increasingly common phishing scams and advised them to get information from the official Optimism pages.
Important Advice from the Optimism Team
The first notable clue about the airdrop event came from the team itself. It was stated that the criteria for receiving these assets in exchange for certain standards may not be suitable for future airdrop criteria. Users who qualified for the airdrop event were advised to delegate their assets to have a say in the governance process.
In the final part of the team’s statement, users who missed the fourth airdrop event were advised not to be upset about it. The team announced that 560 million OP tokens will be distributed in future airdrop events within the Superchain.
The easiest way to participate in airdrop events is to continuously transact within the ecosystem. Engaging in transactions on different platforms and keeping up with significant developments will allow users to both explore the ecosystem and benefit from airdrop events.
