The total airdrop amount is 19.4M $OP tokens which is $26M in current prices. This sum was distributed among 31.8K addresses. Average user renumeration was 600 $OP which translates to $840. Users who participated in on-chain proposals received 2x multiplier to their rewards. In total the airdrop share for $OP token was appointed at 19%.
