There is only 2500 sloths.
Considering there are >420k unique $TIA stakers with an average stake of 1.4k $TIA, holding the main modular NFT collection (with an origin story closely tied to Celestia) is probably the better airdrop play than staking $TIA.
The @CelestiaOrg ecosystem and the broader modular world are maturing and there will be a bunch of high-profile token launches in the upcoming months.
The sloths could be eating well in the next few months if airdrop season hits.
NFA but DYOR.
Generally, I believe NFTs (not only sloths) could be a good way to seek airdrop exposure.
