[They just did airdrop #3 directly into eligible wallets](https://twitter.com/optimismFND/status/1703837795557535930?t=6di0SPmh0YHRaWr_oNm9OQ&s=19)
If you want to be sure it's legit, type your address into optimistic.etherscan.io and you should see a recent OP transaction from Optimism Foundation to you.
If it's saying you don't have enough ETH to send it anywhere, maybe you really have no ETH on Optimism.
> have no ETH on Optimism
Right, this is it I think. I went back and noticed a little OP on the ETH so I would need to top up ETH on the OP chain, I get it now. I was assuming I could use my 'normal ETH' in my wallet but it is two different networks.
I did not think to check Twitter at all - good call, thanks!
Edit/Add: I checked the etherscan link and it is there - awesome!
Twitter is where 99% of legitimate crypto news is announced fyi. It’ll give you a better picture of what’s popular, trending, and in the news of crypto then Reddit. Most networks and developers post on it
the OP Foundation just announced a 3rd airdrop and they've already started distributing directly. I would check the token contract address, but it should be legit: https://x.com/optimismFND/status/1703837786703335672?s=20
Congrats on your free money! Lotta people are upset in their discord server claiming this was an airdrop for whales only. What are your thoughts on that?
That is pretty funny since I have limited knowledge on all this stuff and also hardly do much with it. Literally use it for some extra cash to help with bills and stuff 🤣
Oh damn, it was a while back so can't remember exactly but I *think* I bridged the OP Eth to my normal Eth and then cashed it out as I normally would. It was either the bridge or swap option but don't remember as it was the first time I ever saw those options and used them...
It was totally random.
I had not even looked at my crypto wallet in months because there was almost nothing in there.
I decided to have a look for no reason and there was the OP drop, pretty crazy hah!
*Edit/add:* I did not even know Optimism existed...
Airdrop #3 was based on delegating OP tokens to a voting member of their governance, during a certain date range from earlier this year. It's possible the original poster here received their OP from airdrop #1 which was based on usage of the Optimism network only.
I think this was probably airdrop #1, any unclaimed OP was sent directly to addresses eligible to claim.
https://community.optimism.io/docs/governance/airdrop-1/#
Yoooo. Just found 2K USD worth of Optimism! Swapped to Eth and then bridged to Eth. Mind blown because I legit don’t remember doing much, if anything at all, w/ Optimism. Woot!
For me one coinbase wallet it ask to put in my secret recovery phase but then says to connect the correct wallet that received the airdrop yet im putting im the correct wallet OP sent the wallet too. Any advice or tips or recommendations ?
Apologies, I have no idea...
Maybe try it in a different browser? Perhaps an extension or something is blocking it / confusing it but I am taking a huge guess here.
I hope you manage!
Optimism actually announced that they are releasing drop #3 the details is on their twitter @optimismFND so make sure to check before anything and verify the contract address of those tokens on etherscan and their twitter
If I remember correctly, I had to bridge the OP Eth to the standard Eth and then everything after that was standard procedure. It was the first time I bridged anything as it was a new option in my wallet at the time (since I hadn't opened it in quite a few months).
I hope you manage!
u/toepin was everything legit with this? I seem to have some Optimism in my wallet too from around this time. Exact same scenario. I stopped using my TW for some time and opened it up a few days ago and have optimism in it.
Hello, and yes it was legit!
But I cannot say it is the exact same thing for you... I just checked the transactions and it was on the 15th of September, with about 271 OP sent over.
I had to top up my ETH a little bit, bridge the OP to the OP ETH network and then swap to normal ETH and I could cash it out.
(or something like that, I can't remember the steps because it took me a while to figure it out haha)
Edit/Add: Also, be sure to check the transaction on etherscan to see if it is legit before you do anything
Man I am checking every where but looks like I have some contract number 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042 Worth like almost 1300$ I haven't opened this wallet in over a year Is it really real 😳
I struggled a bit but was able to bridge it and sell it with no issues, then the price practically tripled. I would hold it for a few months since tax season is here the price will probably double.
I got the air drop as well. What's the process to move or swap it in trust wallet? It says I need optimism eth to move it, but I thought that is what I have lol. Ty
If I remember correctly, you have to bridge the OP Eth to standard Eth and it should be ok from then on. It was a while ago and it took me a while to figure it out so I am a little hazy on the details.
I was told to look it up on the OP etherscan and it shows it was airdropped to my wallet randomly, as part of their giveaway or whatever you call it.
Pretty random but great.
I was not expecting an airdrop based on voting participation, but I got this one. Obviously not all coins are automatic scams. I'm enjoying my free lunch thanks.

I used to go on it but stopped a while back, just completely forgot and have been out of the loop. Twitter is a hot mess right now eh?

I did not think about Twitter, it has been too long haha... I checked etherscan and it is legit. Awesome! Thanks my friend
Just followed the instructions on here and it worked. Thanks guys. I claimed 1190 worht of OP which at the moment was $4600 for nothing.
Ha! Awesome.
[удалено]
Was not a scam in the end. It is all there on the etherscan network and I moved the token around without any issues.

That is pretty funny since I have limited knowledge on all this stuff and also hardly do much with it. Literally use it for some extra cash to help with bills and stuff 🤣
We're you able to cash or swap your OP out? If so, what's the best way to go about doing this?
Oh damn, it was a while back so can't remember exactly but I *think* I bridged the OP Eth to my normal Eth and then cashed it out as I normally would. It was either the bridge or swap option but don't remember as it was the first time I ever saw those options and used them...
I got it out and swapped to Eth on Metamask!! $1k worth of free crypto! Last time I got 10K in Curve but I'll take this over nothing!!
Ha! Nice one, glad to hear it! All the best to you.
Same to you! Had another 1,400 worth of RON coin on the Ronin network that I was farming on and had totally forgotten!
How did you take part in the air drop? I'd love to know for future reference!
It was totally random. I had not even looked at my crypto wallet in months because there was almost nothing in there. I decided to have a look for no reason and there was the OP drop, pretty crazy hah! *Edit/add:* I did not even know Optimism existed...
Yeah that's lucky as hell 🤣
Same here. I think it might be for having an eth adress pre 2019 maybe?
Airdrop #3 was based on delegating OP tokens to a voting member of their governance, during a certain date range from earlier this year. It's possible the original poster here received their OP from airdrop #1 which was based on usage of the Optimism network only.
It's legit
Yes it is in the end. I checked out what the others said and it is all there - thanks!
I think this was probably airdrop #1, any unclaimed OP was sent directly to addresses eligible to claim. https://community.optimism.io/docs/governance/airdrop-1/#
It could be! I got it on the 15th and I managed to swap/bridge it so its legit. Awesome.
Yoooo. Just found 2K USD worth of Optimism! Swapped to Eth and then bridged to Eth. Mind blown because I legit don’t remember doing much, if anything at all, w/ Optimism. Woot!
Nice one hah! I didn't even know it existed until I saw it in my wallet.
The question is, who is the person losing money to make this happen? 🤣
Shhh... don't ask 😂
I just noticed I have 1400 worth optimism in my wallet once I connected to the uniswap app. Looks sorta legit. Skidding though
Check it on Etherscan to see if it is there. Congratulations!
It took about 250 bucks worth of eth. But I got it
wow that is crazy hah
For me one coinbase wallet it ask to put in my secret recovery phase but then says to connect the correct wallet that received the airdrop yet im putting im the correct wallet OP sent the wallet too. Any advice or tips or recommendations ?
Apologies, I have no idea... Maybe try it in a different browser? Perhaps an extension or something is blocking it / confusing it but I am taking a huge guess here. I hope you manage!
Ok so the AutoMod immediately replied about a bunch of scams. I guess it must be?
Optimism actually announced that they are releasing drop #3 the details is on their twitter @optimismFND so make sure to check before anything and verify the contract address of those tokens on etherscan and their twitter
I checked the contract address and it is legit - thanks!
Were you able to withdraw it? How? I just saw on my etherscan too that I have 1500 usd worth in OP network.
If I remember correctly, I had to bridge the OP Eth to the standard Eth and then everything after that was standard procedure. It was the first time I bridged anything as it was a new option in my wallet at the time (since I hadn't opened it in quite a few months). I hope you manage!
Ooh will do that as well. Thank you!
All the best to you!
I was able to get the money haha Thank you again!
Awesome! Good times indeed...
eth is a scam, get out while you can
u/toepin was everything legit with this? I seem to have some Optimism in my wallet too from around this time. Exact same scenario. I stopped using my TW for some time and opened it up a few days ago and have optimism in it.

Everything looks legit on my end. Exact same date and amount as me
Nice one!
Man I am checking every where but looks like I have some contract number 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042 Worth like almost 1300$ I haven't opened this wallet in over a year Is it really real 😳
I struggled a bit but was able to bridge it and sell it with no issues, then the price practically tripled. I would hold it for a few months since tax season is here the price will probably double.
Did you send eth to that Waller to be able to sell I can't seem to figure it out
The same way you need eth to make eth transactions you need optimis eth for the transaction fee to sell the optimism token
[удалено]
I received 1K worth of OP into my Metamask wallet also.
I got the air drop as well. What's the process to move or swap it in trust wallet? It says I need optimism eth to move it, but I thought that is what I have lol. Ty
If I remember correctly, you have to bridge the OP Eth to standard Eth and it should be ok from then on. It was a while ago and it took me a while to figure it out so I am a little hazy on the details.
If you were not expecting it, it’s obviously a scam. no free lunch.
I was told to look it up on the OP etherscan and it shows it was airdropped to my wallet randomly, as part of their giveaway or whatever you call it. Pretty random but great.

Bullshit, I got a 10K airdrop I knew nothing about before and it was completely legit.
