Cheese addiction is running rampant. The mafia controls the entire city.
Thereā€™s nowhere to hide and no mouse is safe.
The future of Parmesan City is at stakeā€¦

Innocent mice, corrupt cops, and dozens of mafia leaders have bit the dust as the underground war for cheese ravages mice society.

Mark my wordsā€¦ Wherever thereā€™s cheese, the MICEFIA dangerously lurks nearby.

Good luck, cheese lovers. Youā€™ve just entered Parmesan Cityā€¦

WHAT IS MICEFIA?

MICEFIA is a story-driven NFT project consisting of 4,444 NFT mice characters launching on Cardano via JPG Storeā€™s Launchpad Program. Micefiaā€™s doxxed founder, Batu, explains the goal of his NFT collection:

ā€œAs a team, we believe the best way to tell our story is through high-quality animations alongside MICEFIA-themed games integrated throughout our world. Our goal is to connect deeply with our community by producing thrilling lore and building games that will keep our furry friends coming back for more.ā€

Once youā€™re in the MICEFIA, youā€™re in for lifeā€¦

CARDANO WANTS THE CHEESE

There are several options when it comes to choosing the right blockchain to launch an NFT collection. Each chain comes with its own unique pros and cons worth considering, but when the MICEFIA team shared their project with Cardanoā€™s passionate NFT community, they were blown away by the levels of engagement and support they received;

ā€œIt was the warmest welcome I have ever received in my life! My team and I were stunned by the positive reception of our project and we couldnā€™t believe how active and supportive the Cardano NFT community truly was.

The second JPG Store agreed to partner with us, we ended our talks with previous blockchains and found our passionate community within Cardano.

We are incredibly happy to be launching here on Cardano and would love to say a big thank you to everyone who has been supporting us thus far.ā€ ā€” Batu

And so the world of MICEFIA was born, with Cardano securing the rights to the cheeseā€¦

THE MICEFIA APPROACH

As you explore the world of MICEFIA and get a feel for the caliber of the project the team is dead-set on delivering, you canā€™t help but feel a solid foundation of commitment in everything they do.

Batu understood the ambition of his creative vision far exceeded the capabilities of a small team, so he knew he had to get creative and go big. He also knew that if he relied on mint revenue to fund production, he would be stuck pitching a flimsy promise of future work yet-to-come which was exactly where he refused to compromise.

The project founder wanted his community of collectors to not only feel at ease when they minted into the MICEFIA family, but he also wanted to wow the community with the caliber of project that would make any NFT enthusiast drool, regardless of which blockchain they called home.

This meant he needed to find a large and capable team, along with the funds required to hire them. After meeting with nearly a dozen rounds of investors, Batu finally found his answer in the web3 production company, ThisOne.

PROFESSIONAL PARTNERSHIP

ThisOne is a web3 production hub boasting 50+ industry professionals encompassing the talent needed to bring any web3 idea to life. Their expertise spans the spectrum with entire teams focused on software development, game design, video animation, marketing, and so much more.

When pitched with the cheesy NFT project, ThisOne blew the mice-loving team away by delivering animation samples that far surpassed anything theyā€™d seen to date, and in only a fraction of the time.

Whatā€™s noteworthy about the ThisOne partnership is that they will not only handle the creative production of the animations, but they also cleverly aligned their incentives and also invested in MICEFIA, providing Batu with the funding and talent needed to build the promising NFT project we see today.

A NEW ERA OF TOKENIZED WHITELIST NFTS

With a bit of luck and a dash of gouda timing, MICEFIAā€™s partnership with JPG Storeā€™s Launchpad has already made history on the Cardano blockchain. MICEFIA is now the first Cardano NFT project to ditch previously clunky whitelisting methods and usher in a new era with JPG Storeā€™s freshly released Tokenized Whitelist Mint Passes.

MICEFIAā€™s NFT WL Mint Pass: A suitcase that ties in with the Parmesan City Plot

Instead of keeping track of whitelisted wallet addresses across spreadsheets and other complicated systems, MICEFIA simply airdropped NFT WL Mint Passes directly into the approved wallets of their early supporters. These WL Mint Passes not only reserve mint access on launch day, but holders can also easily trade their MICEFIA minting rights by selling their Mint Pass NFTs on JPG Storeā€™s marketplace.

At the time of writing, MICEFIA has already amassed an impressive volume of 230k+ ADA for their WL Mint Passes alone. These NFTs were free to receive via JPG Store Airdrop and now trade for over 155 ADA each.

To be clear, this is not mint revenue for the actual MICEFIA NFT collection itself. This is merely pre-mint WL trading volume, which then guarantees access to the actual mint on JPG Store.

CASINO FUN AND GAMING

What kind of MICEFIA would they be if they didnā€™t have their tiny paws all over casino life?

NFT games will become a core pillar of the MICEFIA ecosystem with global gaming mechanics that integrate directly with Parmesan Cityā€™s storyline. With these games, players will be able to interact with each other as the NFT characters they own, as well as participate in various fun games, puzzles, and competitions.

In the Casino, players can participate in monthly events and earn rewards based on rankings across various leaderboards. Prizes, badges, and bragging rights are up for grabs for those who score amongst the top MICEFIA players.

Holders will easily access MICEFIAā€™s web-based games by simply connecting their Cardano wallets in a browser of their choice.

Make sure to stay tuned and follow MICEFIA on Twitter, as the team is teasing to leak gameplay trailers soon.

Let the dice roll, stack that cheddar, and may the best mouse win!

SAY $CHEESE!

MICEFIAā€™s vision is to create a robust ecosystem where the storyline, NFTs, game mechanics, and player prizes all flow neatly together, united by the projectā€™s $CHEESE token.

Holders will be able to stake their mouse NFTs and earn $CHEESE, which will integrate multiple ways throughout Parmesan City. These tokens can be used to buy raffle tickets redeemable at the MICEFIA Casino for digital prizes, along with additional future utilities as the project matures.

Further details about the tokenomics, distribution, and supply will be shared with the community after launch.

CLOSING REMARKS

Looking at the quality of professional execution thus far, you can tell the world of MICEFIA will age like the finest of crumbly white-cheddars, leaving you hungry for another fix of the good stuff.

Check out the Pixar-esque teaser trailer below and witness the teamā€™s commitment to quality for yourself.
