Adebola Ayan on Social Mining: “No be by cho cho cho, Show your Workings!”
Few journeys are as inspiring as that of Ayanlaja Adebola, known affectionately as "AdebolaAyan" or "Hardaeborla" in the Social Mining community. From his humble beginnings in Nigeria, where he sought financial independence as a student, to becoming an influential figure in the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain.
Despite facing challenges such as limited resources and doubts surrounding online earning opportunities, he persevered, establishing a strong presence for himself in the rapidly evolving Web3 space. Through his dedication, he transitioned from writing modest blog content to becoming a respected voice and active contributor in multiple Social Mining Hubs.
Discovering Social Mining
Adebola’s journey into Web3 started during his undergraduate years when he was determined to find a way to be financially independent.
"I always believed the internet could be a source of income, especially after I learned about Bitcoin," Adebola explains. He began writing about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, but his earnings were modest.
It wasn't until he joined African cryptocurrency communities that he encountered Social Mining, thanks to a friend, @EngrSamest, who introduced him to the concept. Social Mining, a revolutionary method of rewarding contributions in Web3 projects, became the perfect avenue for him to combine his passion for learning with real opportunities to earn.
He officially entered the Social Mining scene through DAOLabs Hub, and as he recalls, “The introduction of the Workdrop program was a game-changer. Once I received my first rewards, I was all in.”
A Breakthrough in Web3
One of the highlights of Adebola’s journey was the growing recognition he received from major Web3 projects. He became deeply involved in projects like WAXHub, PolygonHub, and DAOLabs, which gave him valuable exposure to crucial Web3 concepts like decentralization, DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), and user privacy.
One of his works particularly stands out, a project built on the Polygon Blockchain that uses Zero Knowledge technology for enhanced user privacy.
‘’A great example is my work on Polygon ID, built on the Polygon Blockchain using Zero Knowledge technology’’
Despite facing challenges, such as losing a social media account that contributed to Web3 projects, his spirit remained unshaken. “No matter what happens, Social Mining is here to stay, and we are here to contribute,” he says.
Impact and Personal Growth
Through Social Mining, Adebola not only built a reputation within Web3, but also developed invaluable skills.
‘’Social Mining has opened many doors for me, especially in developing my digital skills and engaging with communities. The most exciting part was the increased recognition, which led to a boost in my followers on X, further expanding my reach in the Web3 space 😎’’
He learned everything from creating Telegram stickers to editing videos, designing infographics, and even content writing. These tasks, while seemingly minor to some, opened doors to paid opportunities within Web3 projects.
“I never imagined I could make Telegram stickers,” Adebola laughs. Yet, thanks to Social Mining tasks, he not only mastered the skill but also turned it into a valuable asset.
His consistent contributions have allowed him to celebrate financial successes, even helping his family during festive seasons, a personal triumph he cherishes.
Advice for Aspiring Social Miners
Adebola’s success story is full of valuable insights for those new to the Social Mining space.
"Consistency and quality contributions are key," he emphasizes. "Quality contributions are a good habit to cultivate if you really want to grow quickly in the Web3 space" he says, underscoring the importance of always putting your best foot forward. “And, as we say in Nigeria: No be by cho cho cho: Show your Workings!”, added with the popular local phrase to remind everyone that taking care of things, or working on them, is far more important than just chit-chat about them.
For newcomers, his message is clear: stay engaged, contribute meaningfully, and you'll eventually reap the rewards, not just in earnings, but in growth, skills, and reputation.
Adebola believes every action matters and can open unexpected doors. "You never know who's watching," he repeats with a grin, reminding aspiring Social Miners that opportunities in Web3 often arise from the most unexpected places, when you least expect it, your work could be noticed by key players in the space.

When asked what surprised him the most about his Social Mining experience, Adebola didn’t hesitate: “The ‘Zero Disappointment’ factor.” According to him, Social Mining has been a constant source of positive energy, and even better, it has allowed him to introduce friends and family to the platform, many of whom have gained financial freedom through it.
As Adebola looks ahead, he remains excited for the future of Social Mining and Web3. For him, it’s not just about earning rewards, it’s about being part of a growing movement that values contributions, community, and opportunity.
“Social Mining is the real Web3 gold,” he says proudly. And with people like him leading the way, the future of Web3 looks incredibly bright!
