INTRODUCTION
"More than just artworks..."
Especially in recent months, we have repeatedly seen horrendous sums paid for individual works of art. An artist uploads a work, inspires a circle of collectors, one of the collectors with the highest bid receives the work and has it in his wallet from then on. That's it.
Definitely, we are happy for the buyers and sellers in such transactions. Often artists have put a lot of attention to detail into their work! Nevertheless: we want to offer more to the buyers and especially to our supporters and bring the original idea of the "contract" as well as the factor "time" and also the "excitement of the experience" into our Founder NFTs.
It is not enough for us to exclusively create single works - we rather want to make NFTs a continuous experience for our supporters with different events and thus involve the buyers of Founder NFTs more in the process of the project itself.
The FOUNDERS are not simply supporting a comics publisher born out of Crypto and CryptoArt... Rather, they are supporting young and emerging artists with incredible potential who have big steps ahead of them in the world of comics. You are supporting an ambitious project that will change the world of comics a bit with a rich lineup of renowned and established comic artists. You are supporting a vision! ...the vision to combine physical comics with new technologies and in general to create a comic universe that besides NFTs offers a successful base for further sub-projects like games, events, 3D animated movies and other physical goods.
But at the same time you support the vision to bring together many different artists of the comic industry, to pick up the current zeitgeist in various aspects with all the controversial opinions and developments and to build a monument for the crypto movement that will change the world of comics a bit.
THREE TYPES OF FOUNDER NFTS
As part of this effort to make the project attractive to all the supporters and enthusiasts of ENCODE in the long term we have created three different Founder NFTs who will give all holders „THE KEY“ which will be important for the web3 based platform ENCODE NETWORK.(check the upcoming post!)
The GOLD FOUNDER token is limited to 50 pieces and gives the buyer the right to receive over the course of 1 year a large package that includes not only digital uniques and limited NFTs, but also benefits that come with physical artwork, original drawings and other products.
SILVER and BRONZE FOUNDER tokens are also customized for 1 year from the moment of minting the KEY... and let you participate in various events, raffles, votings, free mints and more. There will also be a package of physical products for Silver Founders. Holder of multiple Founder NFTs will have extra rights and can multiply them.
ALL Founder NFTs give UNLIMITED ACCESS to the regular comic NFTs… even after the period has expired. No Founder will ever miss an issue and can read all of our titles without restrictions.
What makes Founder NFTs so special is not just the artwork, publications and NFTs, but the raffles and benefits they bring within events and other upcoming projects!
More on the individual components and details below, but it should be noted that this list can AND will expand.
THE GOLD FOUNDER NFT
Limitation: 50 pieces
Price: 5 ETH
Admittedly, the price of this GOLD FOUNDER token is not affordable for everyone. But it's meant to be, because it's extremely limited while offering off a range of unique and limited edition artwork and products. Accordingly, this token represents a contract that states that as a GOLD FOUNDER, holders will receive a package of benefits that are exclusively available to them.
What benefits do GOLD FOUNDERS receive?
To answer that too accurately, we need to break this down into 2 categories:
I. NFTs, digital artwork and involvement.
Access to areas exclusive to Founders (and only GOLD Founders)
The right to "vote" on specific decisions
You get the "Yearbook" in digital format to read
Claim each regular comic AND variant covers as an NFT to read (unlimited)
exclusive and strictly limited Founder ART NFTs only for GOLD Founders
the possibility to participate in raffles of 1/1 NFTs and limited editions (open for all and only GOLDIES)
Claim one UNIQUE sequential page of comic publications in black and white as an NFT (random draw)
Exclusively Founders can suggest writers for short stories or even submit their own scripts and/or scripts from hired writers. There is no guarantee of implementation, as a certain level of professionalism must be maintained - however, assistance will be provided by ENCODE Graphics to increase the likelihood of implementation.
You can include an advertisement in a publication for a project
Special benefits in events (drops, live drawings, projects… Air Drops)
The list will expand.
II. Physical objects (some with included NFTs) - GOLD FOUNDER BOX
There will be a claiming function in the ENCODE NETWORK. Per Founder NFT you will receive one Box.
Goldies receive "every" regular publication in physical form
Gold Founders receive rare and strictly limited Founder Variant Covers (different limitations: 50 or 100 copies)
Gold Founders receive the strictly limited Blank Covers
Gold Founders receive an ORIGINAL drawing w/NFT
