NFT enthusiasts were able to get hold of a surprising Christmas present just in time for the festival. On December 24th there was an airdrop that was open to all active users of the popular NFT marketplace OpenSea made a certain number of the so-called SOS tokens available.
The airdrop did not come from the NFT marketplace itself, but from the decentralized, autonomous organization The OpenDAO. According to its own statements, it has set itself the goal of “honoring, protecting” and “promoting” the NFT community. With the airdrop of the SOS token, the DAO would like to thank “all NFT creators, collectors and markets for promoting the entire NFT ecosystem”.
Within a day, the token managed to skyrocket more than 1,000 percent. At the time of going to press, however, the initial euphoria was already leveling off. The SOS token is currently at $ 0.00000591, almost half of what it was yesterday’s all-time high.
With a maximum amount of 100 trillion, half of the SOS tokens should be sent OpenSea User are passed. The amount due to users is calculated based on the number of transactions made on the NFT marketplace and their volume. According to the DAO, the weighting here is 30 percent and 70 percent respectively. At the time of going to press, there were over 203,000 users who picked up their tokenized Christmas present.
In the meantime, it remains to be seen whether the airdrop was just a flash in the pan or whether there is a sustainable concept behind the SOS token. Because there is not a lot of information about the project.
