- The goal of the airdrop was to encourage participation in OmiseGO’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system and promote broader token distribution within the Ethereum community.
- The OMG Plasma chain was designed as a scaling solution for Ethereum, allowing fast and cheap transactions.
- Many recipients received very small amounts due to the vast number of eligible addresses.
