• Optimism starts third airdrop with 19 million tokens for 31,000 addresses.
• 19% of the total OP supply is reserved for airdrops.

New Airdrop Details Unveiled

The developer team of Optimism (OP) recently announced the commencement of their third airdrop round. A generous amount of 19 million OP tokens is set to be disbursed among more than 31,000 distinct addresses.

Rewarding the Active Community

Optimism’s goal with this airdrop is to appreciate those making valuable contributions to the Optimism Collective’s management. This distribution will draw from the 19% supply reserved specifically for airdrops, ensuring there’s no unexpected supply increase.

Who’s Eligible?

Only users who cast their votes using OP tokens between January 20 and July 20, 2023, are entitled to this distribution. There’s a cap set at 10,000 tokens for each user. Moreover, users with a token holding duration of less than 7 days during the voting phase are excluded from this distribution.

Past Airdrops: A Quick Recap

The second OP token airdrop took place on June 16, with 11 million tokens distributed among 307,000 recipients. In the inaugural round, over 200 million tokens found their way to more than 250,000 early bird participants.

Safety First: Stay Vigilant!

It’s imperative to note that there is no claims page for this third airdrop. As of Monday, September 18th, at 18:10 UTC, the distributions have commenced. It’s crucial to avoid any website falsely claiming to administer Airdrop #3. For the keen-eyed, the official OP token contract address is:  0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042

Bonus Inclusion

As an added perk, besides the base reward for delegation, addresses will gain a 2x bonus if they’ve delegated to an active voter. An active voter here means someone engaged in an onchain vote within the Optimism governance framework.

Current Status and Future Prospects

Eligible addresses are in the thick of receiving their deserved OP tokens for the third airdrop. Remember, there’s no action needed on your part to claim this airdrop. Refrain from interacting with any site that says otherwise.

For those who might have missed this opportunity, don’t fret! An impressive 19% of the total initial OP supply is dedicated exclusively for future airdrops. So, there’s always the next round to look forward to!

Stay alert, participate actively, and keep an eye on the horizon. With Optimism’s consistent engagement with its community, the future looks promising for its members.
