The Optimism Foundation issued the first round of airdrop incentives to early adopters and active users of projects in the ecosystem in early June this year, and the number of eligible addresses reached 250,000. Among them, a single address can receive a minimum of 271 OPs and a maximum of 32,420 OPs. According to the current price of OP, the lowest address value of the airdrop is 433U, and the highest is 512870U.

Don’t regret it if you miss it, because according to Optimism’s official documents and economic model, airdrop incentives account for 19% of the total tokens, and only 5% is allocated in the first round, and 14% is reserved for future community airdrops.

What are the conditions to have the opportunity to receive Optimism's future airdrops?

1) Retrospective funding of public goods. Optimism officially allocates 20% of tokens to Retroactive Public Goods Funding. You can build projects on the OP chain and apply for official Optimism Collective funding. According to the current records, the funding for a single project ranges from 300,000 to 10 million OP.

2) Apply to become a NERD (technology fan), or make a meme expression package.

3) Bridge assets to the OP chain and explore projects on the OP chain.

Users can participate in conditions 1 and 2 according to their own conditions. This article will popularize and learn how to obtain the follow-up airdrop of Optimism with the condition 3 that most users can participate in. Based on this, PANews believes that users who use products to obtain Optimism subsequent airdrops need to meet the following three behaviors:

2) Actively participate in Optimism community governance

Participate in Optimism community governance

After reading through the official Optimism documentation and governance methods, it is self-evident that Optimism attaches great importance to community governance, so this is also an aspect that users should pay more attention to.

At present, the official governance has been carrying out the proposal and voting of the Optimism Collective. Users can vote whether to approve the project party applying for OP funding. Voting qualifications need to meet 3 points:

1) The address holds OP tokens;

2) Hold before the snapshot (the current snapshot cycle is biweekly);

3) Delegate voting rights to your own address.
