Optimism is a scaling solution for Ethereum. They are doing an airdrop, and luckily for me, they are going to drop tokens to users that were priced out of Ethereum!
Airdrop rules https://community.optimism.io/docs/governance/airdrop-1/#active-ethereum-participants
A user priced out is a user that used, at some point, native Ethereum DeFi solutions, but did not bridge to other scaling solutions. The rules are a bit more flexible than that, but I am within this set of users! I couldn't afford to bridge!
I have considered bridging to side-chains to be able to cash out my DeFi, but that wouldn't make sense, because to bridge I would have to pay Ethereum fees! So I was totally priced out, my tokens are totally locked on Ethereum because cashing out would incur tremendous fees!
I am just happy to win this one. I still can't touch my Ethereum DeFi investments because I was priced out, I can't pay those fees, but I am, pun intended, optimistic with this airdrop!
