A swashbuckling tale of many a bountiful treasure stashed away in a mighty treasure chest NFT. — tl;dr

The When, The Who, and The Where

’Twas the first week of November…

A hearty crew of Charged Particles Pirates set sail — there was Ben Lakoff, Steve Neigut, Mango Dogwood, Sam Casey and Max Jackson.

There, on the sunny banks of New York City, they put down anchor and rowed ashore — destined for NFT NYC.

And there in the midst of Times Square, they buried a mighty treasure…

The pirate crew: Max, Mango, Sam, Steve, Ben, and Dave

The What

A rich bounty of digital treasure was gathered together and buried deep, deep within an impenetrable NFT chest.

‘Twas:

  • 250 aDAI (earning more treasure by the second thanks to Aave)
  • 1000 IONX (‘X’ marks the spot)
  • 100,000 RAID rubies
  • 8000 XYZ coins
  • 4000 KYL bars
  • 500 DOP doubloons
  • 500 ENTR jewels
  • 121 GTC gems
  • 184 PUSH pearls

And more!

Beyond this booty, there also lay the prized, rare, and valuable NFT artworks of:

  • A FLUF and a THINGY from FLUF.world
  • One of the Knights of Degen — one of 8,888 NFTs for Degens
  • A TEAM from LeagueDAO
  • A Lobby Lobster

As Charged Particles Creative Director, Captain Mango Dogwood said of the great treasure chest, and inscribed upon it,

“Yeah it was wild, and all their partners and a bunch of DAOs all contributed tokens for this massive store of value. There were, like, interest-bearing assets, governance tokens, stablecoins, PFPs, NFTs, all inside this one piece of NFT art. I’d never seen anything quite like it before. Totally opened my eyes about where NFTs are going…”

The Why?!

Why — to celebrate the great gathering that was NFT NYC.
To join together the tokens of partners, DAOs, and rare NFTs all within a singular celebratory NFT. And then…

To make this terrific treasure the plunderous prize for the POAP Scavenger Hunt!

By sailing the seven seas, and searching far and wide, one lucky POAP collector will win this treasure trove!

This is valued at over $20k — and like buried gold, will likely keep increasing in value!

Winner soon to be announced — follow Charged Particles and POAP on Twitter to learn who!

About Charged Particles

Charged Particles is a protocol that allows users to deposit ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 tokens into NFTs. A scarce NFT (e.g. Art, Collectible, Virtual Real Estate, In-Game Item, etc.) can now be transformed into a basket holding a number of other tokens. The Principal amount can be time-locked inside the NFT, and through integration with Aave’s aTokens, the programmable yield from these DeFi yield-generating assets is just a few clicks away.
