Optimism’s Ethereum scaling solution has reduced the number of wallets that are eligible for the eirdrop.
Optimism removed 17,000 addresses that, belonged to traders who were trying to deliberately cheat the system.
This decision freed up over 14 million OP tokens, which will be redistributed to the remaining participants.
“Optimism is for people, not for those who breed wallets,” the developers added.
Previously, such airdrops have brought participants significant sums for small investments.
