Optimism $OP airdrop is coming — what you need to know

Optimism is launching the Optimism Collective, with it, the new OP token. Here’s how to see if you qualify.

Optimism is launching the Optimism Collective, a large-scale experiment in digital democratic governance stewarded by the newly formed Optimism Foundation.

The Optimism Collective will be governed co-equally by two houses, the Citizens’ House and the Token House.

The Token House is established by Airdrop #1, bringing in the first thousands of people who have engaged in positive-sum, community-oriented behavior. Token holders will be able to vote on protocol upgrades, project incentives as a part of a Governance Fund, and more. The token is called OP.

The Citizens’ House will launch later in 2022. Together, the two houses of the collective will drive a powerful flywheel, funding public goods that make Optimism blockspace more valuable, leading to more revenue for public goods, and so on.
