Empowering a New Era of NFT Utility — FEAR & Muon AMA recap
The FEAR Wolf NFT collection is set to break ground in the NFT sector, with Muon technology helping to pave the way for new potential for projects and users alike in a multi-chain world!
With blood in the streets, the FEAR Wolf is ready to come out to play!
As the first NFT to utilize Muon’s MRC-721 token standard, the Wolf collection will mark the beginning of permissionless cross-chain NFT trading.
FEAR co-founder Pat joined the Muon community and co-founder Lafayette, to discuss the ongoing collaboration between the two projects, as well as highlighting the features of their upcoming flagship project.

FEAR Wolf — the World’s First Cross-chain & Cross-game NFT
FEAR Wolf is the World’s First Cross Game & Cross Chain NFT by
The FEAR Wolf project is a return to the team’s trademark roots of combining violence & horror themes with compelling gameplay.
It is a collection of 6,666 graphically unique NFTs, which will have near-immediate in-game utility/benefits for other FEAR games (like ‘Clucking Hell’ and ‘The Crypt’), as well as future ecosystem utility like priority access to future NFT collections.
“This NFT collection is on an entirely different level in terms of sophistication, in-game utility & out-game utility… There’s a reason we call it a ‘flagship’ NFT, because it’s not something that expires as the game matures, this NFT will offer forward-looking utility & benefits as well.” — Pat, FEAR co-founder
The Wolf is primed for the multi-chain universe. By being the first NFT to utilize Muon’s MRC-721 token standard, it will be possible to trade wolves permissionlessly across any supported chain. This means users will be able to avoid the high fees of Ethereum mainnet for NFT generation, but can then still take advantage of its high-liquidity environment by bridging afterwards. Alternatively the flexibility is there for users to avoid expensive networks altogether, and the FEAR team can future-proof to preserve long term value even in a fast-moving industry.
“We see Muon as a key partner going forward, especially in a world where there’s a new L1 launched almost every month, attracting TVL and market dominance. As a gaming platform it can be kind of overwhelming trying to peg your future to a specific layer, so with Muon offering that flexibility and freedom is super useful.” — Pat
FEAR-Muon Collaboration & the Future
The partnership extends well back into mid-2021, when Muon was in its infancy and FEAR was working on a similar scalable solution to the one that Muon now provides.
In order to achieve their desired gameplay, as well as integrating the benefits of blockchain gaming, FEAR utilizes Muon as a hybrid solution to retain on-chain security features, whilst still using off-chain processes for gameplay computation. The extra layer of verification security that Muon provides is important for preventing cheating or gaming of FEAR’s systems, and has already been successfully integrated into games within the FEAR ecosystem.
The FEAR Wolf will see an expansion of this collaboration, with Muon being the provider of cross-chain NFT solutions as well as RNG for Wolf minting. It should be regarded as a deepening of an already strong partnership, with strong synergy and reciprocal benefits for both FEAR and Muon teams.
Embracing the Multi-chain Universe
Muon is all about enabling blockchain projects to think outside the ‘box’ — the box being the constraints of any particular blockchain network. Other solutions are not built to scale the way Muon is, with a lightweight system that is highly adaptable and able to be secure for cross-chain compatibility.
These are advantages that, beginning with the launch of FEAR Wolf, will extend to projects in the NFT space. Using Muon’s MRC-721 standard gives 100% customizability to NFT projects on how they design their features, but with the added cross-chain features/benefits of Muon. This is a clear opportunity for NFT developers to adapt away from being solely dependent on the Ethereum mainnet for expensive functions like NFT minting, and to take advantage of cheaper, more user-friendly environments without having to disconnect from Ethereum’s large community.
For FEAR, this connectivity is a huge advantage. By using the Muon layer, they have a much greater scope of audience they can capture within their ecosystem, and having the ability for users to move their NFTs to preferred chains presents a major selling point. With blockchain gaming still making up a very small market share of the overall gaming market, the opportunity for growth is still very large and the benefits of being cross-chain compatible can help make FEAR a firm front-runner as the sector grows in popularity.
The INO (Initial NFT Offering) for the FEAR Wolf collection begins on May 18th, for full details visit the FEAR Wolf website.
