Optimism Distributes Fifth Airdrop: 10.3 Million Tokens to Superchain Users

As a seasoned analyst with years of experience in the crypto space, I find Optimism’s approach to be both innovative and inclusive. The network’s strategy to reward its active users across multiple blockchains is not only an effective way to build a robust ecosystem but also a smart move to foster user engagement and loyalty.


As a researcher delving into the world of blockchain technologies, I am excited to announce that Layer 2 network Optimism has initiated its fifth airdrop. This move is designed to distribute a staggering 10.3 million OP tokens across more than 54,700 user addresses, equating to an approximate total value of $16 million.

As reported by the L2 network, this recent airdrop distributed rewards based on user activity across various chains, such as Base, OP Mainnet, Mode, Zora, Cyber, Metal, Fraxtal, Redstone, Mint, Swan, BOB, Lisk, Xterio, Derive, Race, Orderly, and Polynomial. These are well-known networks in the industry.

An official statement from Optimism reads in part:

“Airdrop #5 rewards power users who have contributed to the growth of the Superchain Ecosystem.”

Optimism Airdrop Targets Active Users across Multiple Blockchains

It’s worth mentioning that Optimism’s airdrops are starting to feel like regular events. This strategy is aimed at creating an ecosystem centered around users for the network.

Indeed, it seems like Optimism is planning to approach things with a fresh perspective for their latest token rewards distribution. Specifically, they are reconsidering the criteria they used to determine user eligibility.

Wallets active in engaging with no less than twenty distinct contracts across any Superchain network from March 15th to September 15th, 2024, qualified for receiving some of the allocated tokens.

Beyond the standard qualifications, certain users were awarded additional tokens as they fulfilled extra conditions. Essentially, they qualified due to meeting further requirements.

Users who either staked a small quantity of OP tokens or engaged with at least seven different chains within the Superchain, demonstrated an effective strategy to enhance their personal allotments.

Per Optimism, recipients of the airdrop have until February 13, 2025, to claim their OP tokens.

Efforts So Far

So far, our network has disseminated approximately 265 million OP tokens through five separate airdrops. Yet, there’s more to come. As per Optimism’s statement, they have roughly 550 million OP tokens remaining in their reserves, intended for future distribution events.

Ever since the inaugural airdrop of my network in May 2022, it’s been quite a ride. The second and third airdrops followed suit in February 2023 and September 2023 respectively. By these drops, we had distributed approximately 19.4 million OP tokens, valued at around $26 million at the time, to roughly 32,000 unique addresses.

It’s worth mentioning that participants in the Optimism Collective delegation tasks have consistently taken part in receiving the airdrops.

In February 2024, we experienced our fourth air drop event. This most recent distribution further strengthens the momentum we’ve been experiencing.
