Interestingly enough, we already started development on exactly these 3 projects more than 6 months ago. That was before it turned into a sizzling topic now, both on and off crypto-sphere.

It’s here. We’re launching into the first chapter of our future.

Chapter I - NFT

Some may think that NFTs are just a fad, nothing more than another way to part a fool from his money. Not ours though.

The ACryptoS NFTs are designed to be part of a larger ACS Metaverse, created not just for its artistic collectability, but with utility and value in mind. Benefits range from:
- higher stats for P2E GameFi (launching 2022)
- yield farming APY boosts
- future partner token/NFT airdrops
- governance, and much more

Our NFT Collections come instantly with **great benefits** and **utilities**.

Other than the above benefits, just like our buyback tokenomics that has made our protocol sustainable and deflationary, we’re launching our NFTs in line with our core values, with a unique minting method — “Stake to Mint”.

Stake $ACS, Mint an NFT.

Instead of “buying” an NFT, you may now stake any amount into an NFT to mint it. The $ACS is staked within the NFT, and will enjoy the same benefits as the ACS Core Vault, including earning protocol Fees and Rewards, Governance voting and Farm boosts. Read on for more details.

The Anniversary Collection

Our three samurais — Akira. Cori. Satoshi. Each of them will have unique but balanced stats in the upcoming GameFi.

Will you be lucky enough to get all 3 of them?

The collection for our loyal Samurais and new explorers, celebrating one year of keeping our users SAFU, with many more years to come.
The 1st ACryptoS NFT Collection — be part of our history, and also be the first to own the future of ACS Metaverse.

Minting the NFT will give you 1 out of the 3 Samurais. There’s a randomized chance of 33.33% for each character, and a limited total of 1888 units.

You’ll have to compete with others to be able to mint them all!

The Ranks — Samurai, Daimyo, Shogun

Other than 3 characters, there are also 3 Samurai Ranks that can be assigned to each character NFT. The Rank of an NFT improves its utilities, giving the user additional benefits and game stats.

Higher Rank NFTs can be minted by staking a larger amount of ACS into the NFT when minting it.

A higher Rank NFT, eg. Rank 3 (Shogun) would give:

- boosted stats in the future GameFi
- higher allocation for NFT/partner airdrops
- priority sales to future limited NFT upgrades
- exclusive game items
- and potentially much more

There will be a total of 1888 units in the “Anniversary Collection — ACS”. The amount of staked ACS decides the Rank of your NFT, where the top 88 gets Rank 3, the next 800 gets Rank 2, and the last 1000 gets Rank 1.

Rank 3 — Shogun (88 units)
The top 88 units with the highest amount in staked ACS

Rank 2 — Daimyo (800 units)
The next 800 units with the highest amount in staked ACS

Rank 1 — Samurai (1000 units)
The lower 1000 units in the amount of staked ACS

You are guaranteed to get an NFT the moment you mint the NFT. Only the Rank of the NFT will be decided once all 1888 units have been minted.

There will only be 88 units of Rank 3 NFTs in this collection, making them extremely rare and valuable.

Stake to Mint

You may stake any amount into the NFT to mint it (minimum 8 ACS). The ACS has to be in your wallet and will be spent the moment you mint the NFT.

You may buy it here or farm it on our site.

A 12% mint fee goes to Treasury
- funding future NFT, GameFi and marketing developments
- may be used for buyback depending on final sales amount
(increasing $ACS value, rewarding ACS Core Vault holders)

The remaining 88% of ACS is staked within the NFT, and enjoys the same benefits as the ACS Core Vault
- autocompound based on ACS Vault APY
- vote with Governance
- boost Farms up to 2.5X

The more you stake, the more benefits and yields you’ll get!

The NFT can be burnt to release staked ACS and any earned yield to its owner. *Burn Fees of 10% (similar to Governance Vault fees) apply.

Additional Notes:

There will be a leaderboard showing the minted value and current Ranks of minted NFTs
NFTs are stackable, transferrable and sellable.
ACSI staking into the NFT is available as well. It will be launched after the ACS Collection completes.
An NFT with ACSI value will get ACSI Vault APY, and ACSI-related bonuses.
There will be a total of
1888 units in the “Anniversary Collection” — $ACS staking
1888 units in the “Anniversary Collection” — $ACSI staking

The Future Chapters — GameFi | Metaverse

Character NFTs. What are they?

Our future games are in development, with one of the first scheduled for beta release mid 2022.

Users will be able to play the game by just having a DeFi wallet. However, by owning a Character NFT, you’ll be able to get game stats boosts, equip NFT upgrades, receive in-game airdrops and much more.

The Anniversary Collection is a “Character NFT” type limited collection. Character NFTs are a basic requirement for future NFT upgrades.

There are upcoming NFT collections in plan, including Equipment NFTs, Vehicle NFTs, Mecha-Suit NFTs, etc. These upgrades are limited in numbers and are highly collectable, at the same time offering in-Game power-up bonuses. All these will require a Character NFT in order to equip them.

*For example, you may purchase a Mecha-Suit NFT in the future, but to use the Mecha-Suit bonuses, you’ll require a Character NFT in your wallet.

A recap of our NFTs

Our NFTs are a Core part of our protocol. They are essential in our upcoming GameFi, with the staked ACS in them earning fees and rewards, able to vote, and boost farms!
