#042: MetaCreed, Metakami, & StarLink
Welcome to our 42nd NFT Drops Newsletter! In the past month, we’ve covered lots of exciting NFT news and releases. Today, join us to learn about some of the most important drops. You may notice that the number 5,555 and an abundance of Solana jump out at you…
Here we go!💧
The NFT Islands released a collection of 6,990 NFT Islands, each at a mint price of 0.1 ETH. These islands can be used in the project’s play-to-earn game, powered by Minecraft’s system, where holders can expand their land in the metaverse through construction. All holders receive their island, a home, and a boat. Features include hiring builders, staking land, and more. This game allows holders to mix an appreciation of the luxurious tropics, real estate, and development.
3,333 “Metamerc” NFTs were dropped by MetaCreed, each mintable for 2.0 SOL. The MetaCreed de-fi game will soon be released and Metamercs are the first of four different types of playable NFT avatars to be used in the game. Psi Mystics, NetRunners, and Sentinels will be the three others, with Psi Mystics scheduled to drop just later this quarter. Afterward, the game and token system will be launched.
ApeXClub released 5,555 ape NFTs at 1.75 SOL each. Each item in this collection was a unique one-of-one. This project’s primary goal is to return to the NFT space’s beginnings and promote a culture of NFT investment simply for the purpose of creativity and a sense of community. While they will incorporate their holders’ opinions into future company decisions, suggesting that the art-focused business model could be changed, there is no current plan for any game or separate endeavor.
Metakami came out with a collection of 5,555 NFTs that were available at a public mint price of 0.055 ETH. This company’s primary undertaking will be a community-driven manga in which holders can collectively participate in a choose-your-own-adventure, artwork-driven story. Additionally, Metakami is an entirely female-run project, bringing representation to the crypto and NFT field where such a company is rare.
The Friendly Giants dropped 5,555 NFTs earlier this month. Each asset, depicting large, festively styled giants, was mintable for 3.0 SOL. The project’s future includes a token staking system, an online marketplace exclusively available to its holders, and plans to both donate a portion of funds and invest in startup companies in the crypto space. More specifically, one feature would be released to allow holders to collaborate with prestigious, blue chip companies.
Cosmic Citizens’ latest collection consisted of (once again!) 5,555 NFTs, which were minted at 1.79 SOL a pop. This company, somewhat similarly to ApeXClub, is heavily focused on its art and theme story. At this time, they do not intend to expand into gaming, events, or an extensive token system. NFTs include artwork of vibrant, whimsical aliens and abstract design. A collection of rival aliens, titled the “Cosmic Invaders,” is scheduled to drop next.
Katatonik came out with 9,999 NFTs at a mint price of 0.99 ETH. This project’s most distinct characteristic is its artwork, which was created by the DreamWorks artists who also created Kung-Fu Panda. Animated cats are decked out in a wide range of garb and accessories. These images were created using the 3D Maya software, which is not as commonly used in NFT creation, and to which Katatonik partly designates credit for the high quality of their images.
STARL came out with 10,000 NFTs, called “Pixelnauts,” which were dropped at 0.08 ETH. These NFTs each had a unique, ethereal appearance, with the ability to self-upgrade and evolve personas. This collection is just the first in STARL’s series of upcoming satellites, spacecraft, and living creatures, which will all exist in an outer-space metaverse. Holders will be able to trade, battle, and socialize with others in this ecosystem. Much further down the road, an exclusive STARL marketplace is expected.
That’s It!
