$WHALE Discord Server Roles
Roles available and how to claim them
Members of a Discord server — in this case $WHALE — are granted various permissions and access to channels based on the combination of roles assigned to them.
Upon entering the $WHALE server, new arrivals are asked to self-claim the “Member” role. This will allow the new members to access the “general” category channels within the server, including the “Stream-Text” and “Voice” channels where most of the informational interviews and events are held.
We believe that this foundational information should always be accessible. As such, the availability of information to learn from — whether that is about $WHALE, NFTs, Social Currencies, or any other area of expertise from our guests — will always remain free.
For those wishing to expand their network within the $WHALE ecosystem, further roles are available.
Please read on to discover details about the Hold-to-Play (H2P) — and other! — roles within the $WHALE discord server.
In this post we are going to explain:
- How to claim a role on the $WHALE server
- What each of the roles does
- How to maintain your roles
WHALE Hold-To-Play (H2P) Roles
Dolphin, Shark, and Whale (Hold-to-Play or H2P) roles require the user to hold a token amount of $WHALE in their self-custodial wallet (MetaMask or Trust wallets).
These roles grant access to new channels, further opportunities to interact with other members, and exclusive competitions and events where generous $WHALE prizes are used to incentivize participation.
This mechanism works to ensure that airdrops, tips, and rewards are being distributed to people that are truly vested in the $WHALE Community and growth.
H2P activities are restricted to the Dolphin role and above. H2P includes $WHALE Events, $WHALE games, $WHALE Poker, and other opportunities to earn or win $WHALE. Why? Owning at least the Dolphin role indicates to us that you believe in the longer-term vision of $WHALE, and are willing to at least HODL a token amount.

Current WHALE (H2P) role HOLD requirements
The hold-to-play roles are maintained by keeping a token amount of $WHALE in your own wallet. Each month, the amount required to maintain the role increases — known as an “escalation”. The purpose of this is to encourage HODLing and community over short-term profit-seeking.
The $WHALE required for your role is held in your own wallet, and you are not locked from spending it — although you will lose your role if you move it from your wallet.
HOW TO CLAIM ROLES
- Hold the required amount for the role you are claiming in your personal, self-custodial MetaMask or Trust Wallet (note: other web3 browser wallets may work). The required amounts for the roles are given in the table above.
- Type
!verifyin the #bot-commands channel on Discord and follow the instructions given in the Direct Message (DM) from the nft42 bot.
If you did not receive a DM, navigate to your discord settings > privacy and safety, and change the setting indicated by the picture below and try again.
⚠️ Important note if you are using a phone:
You will need to:
- CLICK the link that you received in DM
- COPY the address in the address bar
- PASTE into your MetaMask or Trust browser
- COMPLETE the setup process from there.
3. Return to the #bot-commands channel and type one or more of these role claim commands, depending on which roles you want and have enough tokens for:
!claim dolphin!claim shark!claim whale
-or-!claim b20!claim tao!claim hack!claim mork
more on these last 4 roles later in this guide
The roles do not stack, so if you want all three roles, you’ll need all three individual HOLD amounts totalled together.
4. Check for the newly opened #dolphins, #shark, and/or #whale channels and introduce yourself!
You will also find that other channels have been opened, for instance, the #whale-poker and #topshot-fantasy-league-lounge channels are currently very popular at the time of writing this guide.
5. Once your wallet has been verified and you have claimed a role, there are no further actions needed as long as you retain enough WHALE to maintain. For example: Once you have your wallet verified and you have claimed your “Dolphin” role — if you leave 26 $WHALE in your wallet, there are no further actions to take until late December 2021, when you will need to add at least 1 more $WHALE to keep your role through January 2022.
As always, if you need assistance, please ask a mod in the #support channel.

DAO ROLES
Members can stake their $WHALE to get a voice in the governance of the community!
- “DAO-WHALE” role holders only may present proposals for voting.
- Proposals are first voted on in the “House”.
- Everyone with a H2P role can vote in the House (it’s not mandatory, though highly encouraged).
- If passed in the House, the proposal then moves to the ‘Senate’, where DAO-WHALES and DAO-VOTERS may vote.
- If passed in the Senate, the proposal is enacted. Currently, WhaleShark and the team reserve the right to veto passing Senate proposals while the DAO is in its formative stages. This power will dissipate as the $WHALE DAO matures.
🔵 DAO-Voter
- The current DAO-VOTER subscription collateral is 500 $WHALE (locked until 31st December 2021).
🔵 DAO-Whale
- The current DAO-WHALE subscription collateral is 1000 $WHALE (locked until 31st December 2021).
