Art, utility, and… Fish?

Over the last two years, we have seen an explosion in NFT volume and awareness — alongside new and innovative use-cases for these verifiably unique tokens; taking them beyond speculation, and firmly into the realm of utility. Here at NEARStarter we are at the bleeding edge of what NFTs can offer our community, and as such we are immensely proud to present our brand new NFT collection — the Vicious Fishes!

Each of these initially released water-borne beasts will grant the holder an allocation of our native token $NSTART equal to the listing price of your NFT, at a price-per-token equal to that of our IDO. The allocation provided will be relative to the rarity of the animal you capture — but be wary hunters; your targets are cunning, and they most certainly bite.

Prepare for a hunt like no other…

As we are all aware, the NEARverse is a haven; a realm of decentralization spanning the entire width and breadth of what is possible with blockchain technology — however, it was not always this way. There is a lower realm… one of poor governance and even worse monetary policy — where inflation runs wild, and the environment chokes on the detritus of its inhabitants’ waste and gluttony — the realm of Web2.

The Vicious Fishes of the NEARverse are responding to the ever-worsening situation in the Web2 world — they are frustrated, and becoming frenzied knowing that there is a solution to many of Web2’s issues within the NEARverse!

Seemingly the only way to sate the Vicious Fishes’ anger is to expand the NEARverse with quality, trustworthy projects that will bring about the mass adoption of NEAR — onboarding and educating the inhabitants of Web2 on the superior technology, and philosophy of the NEARverse.

“We must hurry — time is of the essence, so let’s get you acquainted with your targets hunter!”

Common catches — The NEARanhas!

The quiet freshwater lakes and rivers of the NEARverse have been home to the NEARanhas for as long as anyone can remember. They have always been a little grumpy — but as of late they have been spotted causing trouble, and harassing the peaceful inhabitants of NEAR!

NEARStar hunters who capture a NEARanha by purchasing one, or through our incentive programs, will be thusly rewarded for their efforts:

  • Allocation size: $333
  • Allocation of $NSTART at IDO price: YES
  • Access to exclusive channels and roles in Discord: YES
  • Access to whitelist lottery: Yes
  • Invites to special events: Yes

In addition, you may genetically engineer multiple NEARanhas… into a rare SteamShark NFT! (please do not question NEARStarter’s scientists on details of this procedure, it is highly classified)

Rare, and hungry — Introducing the SteamSharks

The SteamSharks normally patrol the oceans of the NEARverse, hunting for their next meal, and making fun of the squids — but due to the upheaval in the lower realm of Web2, they are becoming frenzied and heading to the shallows and shorelines of the NEARverse.

Apprehending a SteamShark will take effort and cunning from any would-be hunters, but the benefits of ownership are more than worth the hunt!

  • Allocation size: $666
  • Allocation of $NSTART at IDO price: YES
  • Access to exclusive channels and roles in Discord: YES
  • Invites to special events, with VIP status: Yes
  • Special tasks to earn $NSTART: Yes
  • Access to whitelist lottery: Yes
  • Automatic whitelisting for IDO**: Yes

Using alchemical science, and a sprinkle of NEAR magic, you may combine several SteamSharks into a legendary CyberWhale NFT!

Legendary leviathans — The CyberWhales appear

Majestically cruising the greatest depths of the NEARverse’s deepest DeFi oceans are the CyberWhales — creatures of massive size and strength that in normal circumstances avoid all contact with lower life forms.

Unfortunately, even their infinite patience is wearing thin with the current state of Web2, and they are approaching shores they have never seen, to make sure the NEARverse is ready to take in the millions of refugees expected from the flailing Web2 realm.

This tier of NFT is only available to NEARStar hunters who provide exceptional value to the NEARStarter project, so if you ever find yourself in possession of a CyberWhale, know this — it chose you; you were the hunted.

  • Allocation size: $999
  • Allocation of $NSTART at IDO price: YES
  • Access to exclusive channels and roles in Discord: YES
  • Invites to special events, with VIP status: Yes
  • Special tasks to earn $NSTART: Yes
  • Automatic whitelisting for IDO**: Yes
  • Bonus long-term utility

The majority of the CyberWhales are to be earned through our incentive, and ambassador programs rather than bought, and as such are prestige assets, to be owned by the best and brightest NEARStars in our community. Ownership of even a single CyberWhale allows the user access to immense current and future benefits within the NEARStarter ecosystem.

Further out to sea…

The utility of our founding NFTs is vast, and there will be even more features and utility added for the lucky NEARStar hunters holding these exclusive NFTs. We will be expanding the collection over time — so there will be further opportunities for the most active community members to complete the hunt, and earn one of these majestic creatures.

For NEARStarter’s IDO and other upcoming IDOs on our launchpad, we will collaborate with a well-known NFT artist from the NEARverse, to produce only the finest denizens of the deep for your viewing pleasure.

There will also be various competitions, campaigns, and initiatives to vary the distribution and utility of these valuable pieces of our ecosystem, ensuring that there is always utility being added, and always a way for our NEARStars to take part!

Good hunting everyone!

**If your NFT provides a guaranteed whitelist spot for our IDOs, and you already possess a guaranteed spot through your staked $NSTART — your allocation will instead be increased by 50%. If you do not already have a guaranteed whitelist spot through staked $NSTART, you will gain one through your NFT, but your allocation will remain the same.

*Whilst every effort has been made to make the figures and utility descriptions accurate at the time of writing — it is possible that they might change in the future due to unforeseen circumstances. Any changes made will be discussed with the community where possible.
