CitizenNFT is a collection of 50 unique variations for a total of 10,000 characters. Hand-crafted in a cyberpunk aesthetic and with ultra-realistic attention to detail, these characters are designed to immerse citizens in the world of Cyberpunk City and to enable them to establish an emotional connection to their characters. The advantages of owning Citizen NFTs are as follows:

Playing: Owning an NFT character grants access to the game. All the characters will have a default set of items and equipment to help them start their journey in the city.

Earning: From tax distributions, the owners of the characters will earn 20% of the revenue.

Renting: The characters can be put up for rent to generate passive income.

Voting: Each character has one vote and can run for mayor.

Ruling: Mayor is the most reputable position in Cyberpunk City. While it has a huge amount of benefits, being the mayor is no easy feat. Candidates need to have a 50%+1 vote rate to secure the mayor position.

Minting: There will be 3 minting phases. The 1st phase of the minting will take place on December 22, 2022 at 19:00 UTC. 15 unique characters (8 males / 7 females) each one of them has 200 SFTs which makes a total of 3000 CitizenNFTs. The characters do not have a rarity system, but you can customize them as you wish. The royalty fee is set at 8% as on CityNFTs. The initial maximum minting number is 10 per wallet address.

The 2nd phase will take place during the alpha period of the game with 2000 CitizenNFTs.

The 3rd phase will take place during the beta period of the game with 5000 CitizenNFTs.

Advantages: You will also get a chest for each character. These boxes can be viewed once the Alpha is ready and when you send these boxes to the smart contract you will get random clothes in return for 10 $CYBER which will be burnt instantly. Some clothes will be rarer than others.

Technical Details of Minting Phase 1

  • There will be 15 SFTs, 8 of them are males and 7 of them females, and 200 for each character. 15 * 200 = 3000 characters in total for phase 1.
    There will be 2 types of cases; female and male. Each mint will give you a random character and a case that contains an outfit designed for that specific gender (due to their body type differences).
  • The limit per wallet is 10 CitizenNFTs for the people who don’t have complete sets.
  • Complete set CityNFT owners will have a 15% discount, a single mint will be 850 CYBER for them, and the limit per wallet is 10 + 2 NFTs for each set they own.
    Example: If a wallet holds 2 complete sets of CityNFTs, then the maximum amount of Citizen NFTs which can be minted adds up to 14.

Advantages of minting CitizenNFTs in phase 1

  • 50% of the collected amount of CYBER from the phase 1 minting will be staked in the CYBER staking pool and the staking rewards will be distributed to the CitizenNFT holders until beta release. We will take snapshots and distribute the rewards at the end of each month starting from January. The other 50% will be burned.
  • Having a chance to join closed alpha.
  • There will be three types of cases:
    CitizenNFT phase 1 Case - Trio (has triple chance of revealing a rare item)
    CitizenNFT phase 2
    Case - Duo (has double chance of revealing a rare item)
    CitizenNFT phase 3
    Case - Solo (has single chance of revealing a rare item)

Notes:

  • You DON’T have to unstake your CityNFTs to have a discount. We are collecting the data with the VM Query method.
  • Snapshots will be performed on December 20th

Q & A

Q- What is the limit of SFTs that can be minted per wallet?
The limit is 10 per wallet.

Q- What is the cost of an SFT?
Minting an SFT costs 1000 $CYBER.

Q- Why there won’t be early access?
Since there will be 3000 NFTs, and an initial limited quantity of mints per wallet, we believe that having early access wouldn’t be of any benefit.

Q- What are the benefits of having all 14 buildings?
We decided to make a discount of 15% for all people who have all 14 NFT buildings.

Q- Do CityNFTs count even if they were staked?
Yes and we recommend you to stake due to the high staking rewards. dapp.cyberpunkcity.com/citynft-staking

Q- Will the mint be available for everyone or only CityNFT holders have access?
Everyone can access it.

Q- Do I need to mint any item with my character solely to play the game?
No, minting a specific item doesn’t serve any access privileges, but it is mainly for customizability purposes.

Q- Do I need only one character to play the game?
Yes, but it would be wise to mint more for the following advantages:

  • Rent your characters and earn CYBER.
  • Earn CYBER from tax wallet.
  • Have more votes for the mayor election. (more votes for you if you run for the mayor)
  • While gaming you can switch between your characters easily to keep things fresh.

About Cyberpunk City

Cyberpunk City, one of the world’s first blockchain-enabled Metaverse MMOs, was developed by a group of enthusiastic developers who are proud to be a part of the MultiversX ecosystem and want to contribute to its further development. One of Cyberpunk City’s many unique features is the “Own the Game” concept behind it. We developed this concept to combat the rapid inflations caused by the “Play to Earn” system. To put it simply: by owning an NFT, you get to own the game.
