For security reasons, project representatives warned about the absence of a special page on the site for receiving assets of the third airdrop, indicating the address of the OP contract (0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042).
First, a security note.
There is no claims page for Drop #3—distributions began today (Monday, September 18th) at 18:10 UTC . Do not interact with any website claiming to disperse Airdrop #3.
The OP token contract address is 0x420000000000000000000000000000000000000042

According to the developers, the coins were distributed automatically among those who delegated “voting power” between January 20 and July 20, 2023.
Airdrop #3 is being directly disbursed to addresses that have delegated the voting power of their OP tokens between January 20th — July 20th of 2023.

As with the second distribution, the new airdrop is intended to encourage participation in governance and active use of the network.
Rewards were calculated based on the number of OP tokens multiplied by the number of days of their delegation (the minimum threshold for receiving an distribution is 18,000). For example, if a user has delegated a minimum of 180 OPs for 100 days, they are whitelisted as recipients.
Voting participation during the above period was also taken into account.

Previously, the Optimism team distributed 48 million native tokens unclaimed during the first airdrop to 88,000 addresses.
