### OP Airdrop #5

Yesterday Airdrop #5 allocated 10M+ OP to 54k+ unique addresses to reward users who have been involved in the growth of the Superchain Ecosystem. Criteria includes “Superchain power users”, who have interacted with at least 20 unique contracts, active delegators, SuperFest participants, and more.

Check eligibility [here](https://community.optimism.io/op-token/airdrops/airdrop-5) and claim on [app.optimism.io/airdrops](https://app.optimism.io/airdrops). If you’ve received OP consider parcipating in governance or delegating through [vote.optimism.io/delegates](http://vote.optimism.io/delegates).

### Unichain joins the Superchain

Uniswap Labs announced Unichain, an L2 to become a home for DeFi and liquidity across chains.

Unichain is working to bring better interoperability, enabling seamless access to cross-chain swapping, and collaborating with Optimism to bring cross-chain message passing to the Superchain. With one-second block times at launch and upcoming 250ms Flash-blocks thanks to collaborations with Flashbots and OP Labs, Unichain promises faster, more efficient transactions.
