How Everdragons2 Will Change the Crypto-metaverse Forever!
Update [2023]: The Everdragons2 project has undergone a significant transformation since its initial launch. We are now concentrating on developing utility NFTs to bring you an enhanced and innovative experience. To stay informed about our latest developments, we invite you to join our Discord community and follow us on Twitter.
Usefulness and Benefits of Non-fungible Tokens (NFT)
Everdragons2 is for gaming, decentralized finance (DeFi), philanthropy, redeemables, and community fun in the form of a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). All holders (and some previous owners) of Everdragons2 are considered members of the DAO, with the right to make proposals and vote. Our team is proud to present this new NFT project!
Dragons land among humans this December — stay tuned on Twitter and Discord!
Usefulness and Benefits of Everdragons2
Our collection of 10,001 unique eggs and dragons are evolving the blockchain industry from cross-chain to cross-game and cross-platform. As our ecosystem grows, more perks and redeemable value will be added to each NFT. Below is a detailed summary and a quick history of the NFT space!
Gaming: Play-to-Earn
Everdragons2 is a collection of dragons randomly generated from hundreds of assets. They inherit the legacy of Everdragons, minted in 2018 as the first bridgeable cross-chain non-fungible token (NFT) for gaming.
In the upcoming Origins, the play-to-earn game of the Everdragons Metaverse, holders of Everdragons2 will get a Loot Box containing Obsidian (the Origins token), Settlement Plans, and Genesis Units based on rarity. In the future, we intend for dragons to be used as avatars or items in compatible games and crypto-metaverse ecosystems.
DeFi: Stake-to-Earn
NFT holders will have the ability to take part in DeFi applications through Everdragons2, the Everdragons Metaverse, and all things cross-compatible.
Philanthropy: Save Endangered Species and Environments
We are proud to present Yayasan Komodo Survival Program in Indonesia as our first beneficiary. At least 10 Ethers (ETH) from the proceeds of the Everdragons2 sale will be donated to support real dragons here on Earth! We have donated upfront one ETH, and we will donate the rest step by step as sales proceed.
Moving forward, Everdragons2 aims to support other species at risk of extinction and their environments. Such decisions will be made through community voting by the DAO and through adopt-an-animal NFT perks.
Exclusive Experiences: Prize Drops and Perks
Dragon owners are eligible for travel and tourism opportunities, which will only grow over time as we make more partnerships. For example, one lucky NFT holder will win a free tour of Komodo Dragon habitats under the guidance of Yayasan Komodo Survival Program. This trip is impossible to book as a regular person.
Community Fun: DAO
20% of proceeds from Everdragons2 is reserved for the Community Treasury, which is a pool of resources controlled by our DAO. The DAO can vote to use these resources for more philanthropy, for DAO member reward payouts, and for real life meetings (e.g. sponsoring parties at blockchain conferences, renting an island, building sub-projects). The DAO allows NFT holders to determine the future of our project and their own destiny.
Physical Goods: Redeemables and Collectibles
Raffles may distribute highly desirable items through the Everdragons2 community. Some are for everyone, others are only for rare dragon holders.
