22/11/2021 Build your NFT empire with Moon

While the global market cap of cryptocurrencies continues to rise, investors are witnessing an unprecedented investment interest in Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). If the crypto sector can be called dynamic, the NFT market can be considered to be on fire. Sales of NFTs surged to $10.7 billion in Q3 2021, up a staggering700%+from the previous quarter, while the total value of NFTs has rocketed to a new record high of$43 billionin October 2021.

The excitement over this space has been accompanied by the birth of a new niche: NFT Metaverses. Bloomberg has called these interactive virtual games the place “where crypto, gaming and capitalism collide” and the next stage in the evolution of the sector.

Metaverses are not a novelty per se. Second Life, broadly recognized as the first Metaverse of the internet era, debutedin 2003and reachedover a millionmonthly active users at its peak. Many successful Metaverses followed, including Minecraft and Roblox, which in 2021 have140 millionand43 millionmonthly active users respectively.

Metaverses in their previous iterations had in-game currencies and economies, in most cases without real-world value. The innovation of NFT Metaverses consists in having native cryptocurrencies that are used for transactions and to receive in-game rewards, all of which have economic value in the real world. Axie Infinity, one of the most popular Metaverses, is on track to generate$2.7 billionin 2021.

moon.wsgame development company is now aiming to leverage the power of NFTs to launch the first-ever interplanetary Metaverse –Moon.

Moon: Taking NFT Metaverse Beyond Earth

Moonis the world’s first NFT Metaverse to be entirely based on Earth’s satellite, consisting of:

  • 26,000 HEX virtual land plots, represented by NFTs, covering the entire lunar surface, and which can be bought, sold, rented, and developed as a player sees fit – all with the nativeMoon
  • (MON) token.
  • Developing theMoonas an entirely new civilization, from scratch – opening mines and businesses, building real estate and infrastructure, and creating the political structures needed to administer “Moon countries”.
  • A play-to-earn structure that rewards top players for winning competitions, for creating value in their countries, and for outmaneuvering competitors via wars, alliances, and superior economic performance.

Gameplay can be described as a combination of Age of Empires, Rise of Nations, and Sim City, combining strategic objectives with long-term planning.

Moonland NFTs are a rare, non-replicable, and finite resource. By developing land holdings into viable economic, political, and militaryMooncountries, owners increase the value of their holdings. These NFTs can then be traded on crypto exchanges for other crypto and fiat currencies, generating real economic value. A series of sophisticated game add-ons (special building materials, weaponry, know-how boosts, etc.) can help NFT owners to accelerate the development and success of their lunar colonies, increasing their value faster.

Moonis positioning itself to be a unique offering in the NFT Metaverse space, thanks to:

  • An exciting number of in-game NFTs for players to boost their performance – extra oxygen supplies, mining tools, moon-adapted excavating equipment, and more.
  • Additional rewards available by participating in mystery-solving competitions, traveling to the dark side of the moon, and solving conspiracy theories.
  • Setting up the moon as a base for travel back to Earth, and to other planets in the solar system and beyond – becoming a fully interplanetary Metaverse.

Moonis planning to launch at a very positive moment for Blockchain Metaverses:

  • Sky Mavis raised $152 million at a nearly$3 billionvaluation to help grow Axie Infinity.
  • Gaming startup Animoca Brands raised at a$2.2 billionvaluation in October 2021.
  • Chimeras raised$2 millionin funding to develop its early-stage Metaverse projects.

By combining unique gameplay, a wide range of NFTs, and an ecosystem built for long-term growth,Moonis aiming to become the next major success story in the Metaverse space.

Who Is The Creator 2
The idea for this piece was borne out of a tweet of mine that caused a bit of a stir. I’d posted a link to a blog article I’d written a number of months previous titled ‘Who is the Creator’ discussing various types of creative collaborations and why I hire people to work on my animations. It generated a lot of debate around creation and attribution with the community split on whether it’s right or wrong for an artist to hire other professionals to help them realize their art projects. I decided to push the boundaries even further and see how the cryptoart community responded. What if I quite literally had nothing to do with the physical or digital elements of the work other than coming up with the concept and coordinating it? I decided there was one artist in the space who could add huge value to this idea on levels that none other could and so I gathered my courage and contacted the great JosĂ© Delbo to ask him if he’d be interested in a very unique collaboration. I explained to him that to make this piece ‘work’ he couldn't have any say in what I produced and moreover, he wouldn’t even be allowed to see the animation until it was dropped on MakersPlace. To my surprise, Mr Delbo agreed to my proposal. The animation tells the story of the creative process, which includes my roles as writer, director, and producer working with a team and making edits and changes ‘in real time’. The dialogue between myself and my ‘hired guns’ plays out in front of the viewer. The music written for the piece adds to the nostalgia of the comic book superhero theme but other elements such as the snapping and kicking of the pencil and the signing of my signature at the bottom incorporates further layers and challenges the viewer to ask important questions, such as, is the ‘Art’ the final animation (the creation) or is the ‘Art’ the concept/credit for the creation itself?
