I believe everyone should have been flooded with news about @ethos_network’s airdrop today. Ethos has ended and is about to enter its first season. It has airdropped a total of 256 NFTs at a price of $8,000 each to the top 256 users on the leaderboard.

Even though the price has dropped, it is still $6,000, which is really enviable. It is rare to see such a valuable airdrop from a single project.

While the big guys were happy, new users who had not yet joined began to feel anxious.

“Ethos has already airdropped so much, can I still participate? I don’t even know what Ethos is…”

Let’s first draw a conclusion. Ethos is very likely to be a big bullshit, and the possibility of it issuing coins is also very high.

Many people still don’t have an invitation code. Looking back, did Kaito lower the threshold before issuing the coin to allow a lot of people to come in?

So even though it has issued NFTs, this is only a reward for a few big guys, and most people don’t have it. The earlier you join, the more advantages you will have!

This article will introduce Ethos to those who don’t know about it yet, and how to interact with it.

1. Understanding Ethos

Ethos Network is an on-chain reputation system whose core goal is to build an unalterable "personal reputation chronicle" through user behavior data.

By analyzing the user's on-chain behavior, social interactions, and historical records, a credibility score is generated for each address.

This rating system is similar to the Web3 version of "Dianping", which records user behavior and permanently uploads it to the chain. It aims to promote cooperation within the ecosystem through a trust mechanism and reduce fraud and malicious behavior.

Ethos is different from other projects. It received $1.75 million in financing, but almost all of this money came from community angel investors, including 0xQuit, Dingaling, Sighduck, Dragos, 0xMakesy and Zeneca.

Therefore, it is a bottom-up project rooted in the community, which makes me more optimistic about its future airdrops.

2. Join Ethos

To start using Ethos, we first need to get an invitation code.

In order to verify the authenticity of user reviews and prevent fraud and false reviews, Ethos currently adopts an invitation-based system.

Currently there are only three ways to get an invitation code:

  • Community Activities

  • Official draw

  • Invitation from acquaintances

Some of them can purchase invitation codes by spending money, but be careful to avoid being cheated.

The Ethos invitation code will bind the inviter and the invitee for 3 months. Once the invitee does something bad, the inviter will also be in trouble. If the invitee's credit score increases, the inviter will also benefit.

After getting the invitation code, open the official website above and log in directly using the upper right corner of Twitter.

What if you are a new user and don’t have an invitation code?

Don't panic. As I said at the beginning, newcomers can also participate, even without an invitation code. The following article will explain how to interact without an invitation code.

3. How to improve Ethos score?

Since you want to get the airdrop, you must understand the operating logic of the project and then try to improve your ranking among interactive users.

Ethos is a reputation project, and its core score is the reputation score of each user. Therefore, improving the reputation score of our account is the key to interaction.

The core gameplay of this project is as follows:

When each user registers for the first time, you will be given a basic credit score of approximately 1,200 points.

Later you can increase points through various operations, such as likes, comments, guarantees, daily check-ins, invitations, krypton gold, participation in activities, etc.

No invitation code

If you don't have an invitation code, there are only two things you can do.

1. Install the plugin

After installing the official plug-in, you can get 100XP, which can be seen in the Trust market.

2. Purchase votes

The way to play Votes is equivalent to using your own reputation to issue coins. Others can influence your reputation points by purchasing trust or distrust, which is equivalent to using real money to evaluate you, so it is more reliable. Therefore, the official allows everyone to participate, even if you do not have an invitation code.

https://ethos.markets/rewards

Each transaction requires a 2% handling fee, of which 1% goes to the protocol and 1% goes to the creator. It is still relatively expensive, so it is recommended to participate in a small amount.

Have invitation code

If you have an invitation code, in addition to the above two operations, you can also perform the following interactions.

1. Write high-quality reviews

The content should be authentic and in-depth. The number of words should not be too few, and AI should not be used to generate it, as this will easily reduce the quality of the review.

Pay attention to AI quality scoring. The Ethos platform will provide AI quality scoring for comments, and it is recommended to reach 75% or above. Low-quality comments will not only not add points, but may also deduct points.

Avoid being "thumbed down". There are two buttons for comments: "up" and "down". Low-quality or fake comments may be "thumbed down" by others, which will result in point deductions.

2. Guarantee gameplay

The guarantee method is to top up ETH to guarantee the reputation of others. The more ETH you get, the better your reputation. Of course, this ETH is only used for guarantee and will not be transferred to others. Users can also cancel the guarantee at any time and get back the ETH.

In addition, if both parties guarantee each other, they can get bonus points, so many big guys guarantee each other to brush up their scores and give each other good reviews. This is also a problem that currently exists on the platform.

3. Community Activities

  • Completing tasks, such as testing some new features, usually rewards points.

  • Participate in community events, such as AMAs or sweepstakes.

  • Follow the Ethos official X account. The latest news is released on the official account. For example, the end of the pre-season and the ETH airdrop can only be seen first by following the official account.

4. Daily Sign-in

There is a daily task in the lower right corner of the webpage, which is similar to signing in. It will ask users to comment on others, check whether other people’s comments are true, etc. It is relatively simple and you can stick to it every day.

5. Invite friends

The invitation code of Ethos is relatively mysterious. If you are qualified to be invited, you can also invite your friends to join, provided that they have a good reputation, otherwise it will affect your reputation score.

4. Plugin Purpose

In addition to interaction, the official plug-in itself is also a very useful tool, so here is some additional information about the usage of their plug-in.

From this picture, we can see that the official has divided users into 9 levels based on different credit scores.

  1. Untrusted (displayed in red, untrusted user)

  2. Questionable (displayed in yellow, problematic users, less than 1200 points)

  3. Neutral (black heart display, normal user, 1200 initial points)

  4. Reputable I (blue)

  5. Reputable II (blue)

  6. Exemplary I (green)

  7. Exemplary II (green)

  8. Revered I (Purple)

  9. Revered II (Purple)

Except for the first three, the ones below represent higher credit scores, and they have different colors. After installing the plug-in, they can be displayed directly on the avatar.

Or

@cz_binance

Take the boss as an example:

  • His profile picture is a blue circle, which means his credit score is relatively high.

  • 191 reviews, 82% of which are positive.

  • Four people guaranteed him, with a guarantee fund of $124.44.

Click the "write a review" button below to quickly see the reviews and write a review for him (requires an invitation code and registration).
