NFT thought leader Ohhshiny weighed in on how community airdrops highlight the divide between those with crypto and those without. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way! The co-founder of DIGITAL asserted that even without a single eth, you could start participating.
Ohhshiny specifically directed his tweet to those who felt left out of the $SOS airdrop. OpenDAO announced free $SOS tokens for anyone who has ever traded at OpenSea since its launch. Thanks to these airdrops, traders can now claim a decent amount of ETH. Currently, the price of $SOS is $0.00000249 and fiat is the product of your claimable $SOS and the value of one $SOS. So fiat amount = One $SOS value × claimable tokens.
Feel left out of the $SOS airdrop? Whenever a community airdrop happens, I see it exacerbate the divide between those with crypto and those without. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Without a single eth, you can start participating today. Here are a few ways to get involved🧵:

Ohhshiny’s Practical Tips on How you can Get Involved with Zero ETH
For Ohhshiny, the most straightforward way to get involved is by joining a project Discord. Then, suggesting an idea. He cited SushiSwap as a concrete example. He explained that the multi-billion dollar protocol relies on community ideas to expand its business. In fact, a community member who wasn’t even on the core team suggested the Shoyu NFT Marketplace.
Shōyu’s differentiator is that it doesn’t require any Ether to mint or sell tokens. The result is a substantial reduction in how much it costs to produce, distribute, and profit from NFTs. Platform fees, meanwhile, are capped at just 2.5%, meaning 97.5% of revenue goes back to the creators. Even more collectively-minded, those transaction fees go straight to xSushi holders. xSushi is paid to anyone who stakes SUSHI tokens.
Ohhshiny added that you could also research which companies are awarding grants. “Can’t find a project that will greenlight a new idea? Find one that has a grant program and put in the work upfront for them. The DeFi and NFT communities are extremely generous with their grants: web3grants.org.”
The third way is by joining job boards. “There are jobs posted in discord’s and other DAO platforms all the time. One great tool is https://alpha.layer3.xyz/. Basically, you can earn crypto by tweeting, commenting or creating other forms of content for projects.
Final Thoughts
He closed off the thread by highlighting that “the key to understanding crypto is understanding that it’s multiplayer and non-zero-sum. We NEED people to help grow the ecosystem! It may not be easy to find, but thousands of teams and protocols need your help today! Follow these steps, and I’ll see you in the next airdrop!”
Meanwhile, the community applauded Ohhshiny’s message of positivity. User @ryghtideas tweeted, “The loudest voices in this space spend a lot of money and it can make people inadvertently feel unsuccessful / think less of themselves. It’s important to remind yourself of that.”
So for those feeling left out, it wouldn’t hurt to try Ohhshiny’s innovative ways on how you can get involved! Let us know how it pans out!
