Ethereum scaling network Optimism initial token distribution This week, about 250,000 eligible addresses were airdropped OP tokens, which was accompanied by a significant share of the drama. When the team tried to manage the problem by stopping the token claims interface, the token claims overwhelmed the endpoint, overloading the public RPC on the network.
Wow, what a day.
OP Drop # 1 was a turbulent launch, but after more than 5 hours of non-stop work, it finally stabilized.
We will publish a complete and detailed retrospective of the lessons learned next week. Let’s briefly talk about what happened.

Most of the market has been sluggish since last year’s highs, but there seems to be a new “flip” in the space – Layer 1 alternative chains are hidden by the Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution.. That is, as capital began to re-migrate to the Ethereum ecosystem, optimism and arbitrum began to generate more charges than any other “Etherium Killer” blockchain. Active activity is active as users realize that they no longer have to hesitate to enter an affordable decentralized market, partly due to the excitement of Optimism’s OP Token Airdrop. It captures both attention and capital.
Both optimism $ OP & Arbitrum is already generating more revenue than any other altL1

Expect Layer 2 hype and attention to continue as more Ethereum-based scaling solutions are centered, projects migrate, and platform tokens are distributed to the most loyal users. The rise of the Layer 2 platform is not limited to Ethereum, and Bitcoin’s unique Lightning Network has reached its highest capacity this week. The scalability of the OG ecosystem is in full swing – is the L2 season really here?
