If you are reading that: hurry up or good luck next time. The Optimism Quest is dated: 2022/09/21 01:00–2023/01/18 01:00 GMT+08:00. After that, you won't be able to claim NFTs (but I have an idea for latecomers that I will cover later in this guide 😉).

All information is available here: https://app.optimism.io/quests

Optimism is one of the most generous projects ever airdropped. My friend managed to get more than $5,000 equivalent in #OP 🔥 And most importantly, in the tokenomics of the project, 19% of the tokens are pledged to the airdrop for you and me, but so far the project has distributed only 5%, there are still 14% left, and following the steps below 99.9% guarantees you getting a piece of this delicious pie😊

Briefly, how to access airdrop:

We need to perform Quests (short tasks) on interaction with various protocols. As a reward, we will receive NFTs, of which there are 18 in total.

The more NFT we collect, the higher our TIER (level) and the size of the drop, and whether it will be given to you at all will directly depend on this.

There will be 3 levels of participants:

🟡 TIER 1: collected from 4 NFTs

🟠 TIER 2: collected from 7 NFTs

🔴 TIER 3: collected from 10 NFTs

And of course, we will collect 10 NFTs, perhaps later you can finish all 18 to have superiority over all the others (I’m sure that there are 18 of them for a reason)

For all this we need:

  • 💰 Approximate financial cost of commissions — $15
  • ⏰ Approximate time spent on the process — 1,5 h
  • 💵 More than $150 in your wallet (not for spend)

❗️The deadline for all activities is January 17, 2023, don’t miss it❗️

And so, let’s start completing tasks and getting the first NFTs👇

1. Learn about Uniswap (DEX)

  • 1️⃣ Go to the task page
  • 2️⃣ Pass the quiz. Answers: 1) A decentralized exchange (DEX) 2)All of the above
  • 3️⃣ Go HERE and do 2 swaps (each swap must be more than $20 in value)
  • 4️⃣ Pick up your first NFT 👉 HERE 🥳

I want to immediately draw your attention to the fact that all actions must take place in the Optimism network!

2. Learn about Stargate (Bridge)

  • 1️⃣ Go to the task page
  • 2️⃣ Pass the quiz. Answers: 1) A fully composable liquidity … 2)7
  • 3️⃣ Go HERE and transfer the 1st transaction from/to Optimism USDC token for more than $100 across the bridge

I transferred 100USDC from Arbitrum to Optimism

  • 4️⃣ Get your NFT 👉 HERE

So after this step, I believe you have an idea of what to do next. Simply make as many quests as possible at https://app.optimism.io/quests . But I want to share a shortcut 😉

How to get OP Quests fast and not wait for hours to complete them?
How to complete OP Quests if time passed?
How to make money on OP Quests ? (OMG, I am writing this 🤑🥴)

The answer is NFT Marketplace for Optimism (https://qx.app/)!

  1. Go to Quests Collection https://qx.app/collection/quests and search for missing Quest NFT in the Category Filter

2. Buy NFTs and check if it works at https://app.optimism.io/quests (worked for me). I am not sure when the snapshot for Airdrop will happen but it may work as a turnaround to get Quest NFTs after 17th January.

3. My recommendation is to buy all Quest NFTs that require more than 5 mins of your time and especially those which require a long time (staking for a week, liquidity pools for 3 days, etc)

If you are a real hustler/NFT flipper/Airdrop OG 🤑 — there are a lot of possibilities to make money right now! Some of them:

  • Install Metamask level” Minting and selling NFTs for the price that is required by QX OP Quest (the price should be 0.0099 ETH) — Done by myself 2x times. Check this collection https://qx.app/collection/cybernerds or stats of any other active collection.
  • NFT Mafia level” Purchasing Quest NFTs in bulk from the marketplace to move floor price (Demand is here anyway)
  • Retrodrop killer level” Make sure your team of airdrop hunters killed it with 10000+ accounts and purchased all Quest NFTs available.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to reach out on Twitter. LFG 🚀
