Eligibility criteria

  • Used Optimism

  • Repeat OP user

  • Bridging to other L1s

  • Donating on gitcoin

  • DAO voting

  • Multisig signer

Once you’ve determined that you’re eligible you’ll need to bridge some ETH to Optimism.

Go to https://app.optimism.io/bridge

Input how much ETH you’d like to bridge. I’d recommend bridging 0.03 ETH.

Make sure it says “⚡️ Warp speed” at the bottom and confirm the transaction.

When I bridged it cost $1.91 in transaction fees and took about 2 minutes to get the ETH on optimism.

Now that you have some ETH on optimism for gas you can claim.

Head back to the bottom of the page on

https://app.optimism.io/airdrop/check

and hit “Start your claim process” you’ll have to take a short quiz that’ll teach you about Optimism then you’ll be prompted to choose a delegate. I choose GFXlabs but you can change this later. Finally hit claim and delegate and confirm the two transactions.

Congrats now you’ve claimed OP!

Now what? 🧐

I’d recommend checking out some projects on Optimism!

The gas fees are a lot cheaper than ETH so you can experiment with using different apps.

I checked out mirror.xyz and bought my first NFT article.
