About Optimism Airdrop
Optimism Airdrop is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that can support all of Ethereum’s Dapps. Instead of running all computation and data on the Ethereum network, Optimism puts all transaction data on-chain and runs computation off-chain, increasing Ethereum’s transactions per second and decreasing transaction fees.
As already guessed in retroactive airdrop overview, Optimism has announced the launch of their governance token “OP” and confirmed to airdrop 19% of the total supply to early and future Optimism users. Optimism Users, Repeat Optimism Users, DAO Voters, Multisig Signers, Gitcoin Donors and Users Priced Out of Ethereum by the snapshot date are eligible to claim the airdrop. The snapshot of the addresses was taken on March 25th, 2022 at 0:00 UTC.

Step-by-Step Guide
- Visit the Optimism airdrop eligibility checker page.
- Scroll down to the airdrop section.
- Connect your ETH wallet or enter your ETH address.
- If you’re eligible, then the eligible amount will be displayed.
- The snapshot of the addresses was taken on March 25th, 2022 at 0:00 UTC.
- Eligible users are:
- Optimism Users: Users who’ve bridged to Optimism from L1 during the early phases of mainnet (before Jun 23, 2021), or used Optimism for more than 1 day (at least 24 hours between their first and last transaction) and made a transaction using an app (after to Jun 23, 2021).
- Repeat Optimism Users: Users who’re already eligible for the airdrop as “Optimism Users” and made at least 1 transaction with an Optimism application across four distinct weeks.
- DAO Voters: Address has either voted on or authored at least one proposal on-chain, or at least two on Snapshot (off-chain).
- Multi-Sig Signers: Address is a current signer on a Multi-Sig which has executed at least 10 transactions all-time. Multisig Wallets Include Gnosis Safe v0.1.0-1.3.0, MultiSigWithDailyLimit, MultiSigWalletWithTimeLock, and addresses in Etherscan’s ‘Multisig’ label which had a function to get owner addresses.
- Gitcoin Donors: Address has made an on-chain donation through Gitcoin. This includes any donation, regardless of if it was during a matching round.
- Users Priced Out of Ethereum: Address bridged to another chain, but still made an app transaction on Ethereum each month after they bridged, and transacted at an average rate of at least 2 per week since then. Bridges included top L1s by TVL: Terra, BSC, Fantom, Avalanche, Solana, Polygon; and general-purpose L2s: Arbtirum, Optimism, Metis, Boba.
- Users who match multiple eligibility criteria from above will also be eligible for an extra overlap bonus.
- The claim is not yet live so make sure to follow their social channels to stay updated.
- There will also be future airdrops to active users of the platform.

Open source, secure, permissionless, and decentralized.
Optimism Airdrop what a blockchain needs to survive. Very few of them check all these boxes. Ethereum is one of them. A strong foundation determines the long-term success of any endeavor. Join a thriving digital metropolis of decentralized applications that’s here to stay…
The L2 with the best UX and DevX, hands down.
Optimism addresses the practical needs of developers and users. It works great now, and it’s only getting better.
Simple and elegant
As few lines of code as possible separate Optimism Airdrop from Ethereum’s battle-tested infrastructure. Build your app on the L2 that doesn’t quit.
Click and deploy
Optimism is equivalent with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, not just compatible. This means all Ethereum apps and tooling just work.

How Optimism Works
We’ve tried to make this guide as comprehensive as possible while still keeping the content accessible to most readers. Some content on this page is geared towards readers with a technical background but should still be comprehensible to those with a basic understanding of how blockchains work. Generally speaking, we err on the side of simplicity and approachability. Readers interested in a low-level look into Optimism under the hood should refer to the Protocol section of this website.
Design philosophy
Optimism Airdrop is built according to a strong design philosophy that stands on four main pillars: simplicity, pragmatism, sustainability, and, of course, optimism. It’s important to understand these pillars as they heavily influence the design of Optimism as a whole.
Simplicity
Optimism is designed to be as simple as possible for the featureset it provides. Ideally, They should be composed of the minimum number of moving parts required for a secure, scalable, and flexible L2 system. This simplicity gives Optimism’s design a number of significant advantages over other more complex L2 constructions.
Simplicity reduces engineering overhead, which in turn means they can spend our time working on new features instead of re-creating existing ones. Optimism prefers to use existing battle-tested Ethereum code and infrastructure where possible. The most visible example of this philosophy in practice is the choice to use Geth as Optimism’s client software.
