Optimism Team Removes 17,000 Addresses from Airdrop

Optimism developers have reduced the list of participants for the expected airdrop next month by 17,000 addresses. About 14 million native tokens were intended for those presented as participants in the Sybil attack.

The project team has excluded those who wanted participate in the so-called airdrop farming. In anticipation of this event, users open many wallets and use dApps in the hope of meeting the criteria for a subsequent distribution of tokens.

The project will distribute the released 14 million OP among those who were not caught in this practice.

In April, the developers announced users of OP Bridge by June 23, 2021, as well as those who repeatedly interacted with ecosystem projects from June 23, 2021 to March 25, 2022. Together with the other five criteria, 264,079 addresses were eligible for the OP claim.

Within four years, the emission of OP will amount to 4.29 billion tokens.
