Optimism (OP) Tax Guide
Optimism taxes: trading, airdrop, DeFi and capital gains in Europe.
How is Optimism taxed?
Optimism (OP) follows standard European cryptocurrency tax rules. Every sale or trade of OP generates a taxable capital gain or loss. Multiple OP airdrops have been distributed, each constituting a taxable event at the time of receipt.
Airdrop and Layer 2 ecosystem
Optimism has conducted multiple airdrop rounds rewarding active users. Each airdrop is taxable as income upon receipt. The Optimism DeFi ecosystem (Velodrome, Synthetix) creates additional taxable events. OP delegation for governance does not create taxable events.
