10k Collection of IBC compatible NFTs claimable on Terra V2 for White Whale Protocol Users on Terra Classic

The Fallen Guardian collection was originally branded as the Guardian Whales. The collection was supposed to represent 10 thousand whales that were committed to defending the UST peg. However, after the breaking of the UST peg and the collapse of Terra v1, the team decided to rebrand the collection as the Fallen Guardians and launch the collection on Terra v2. The Fallen Guardians are an homage to the users of White Whale V1 who helped defend the peg. We hope users will see the Fallen Guardians as a badge of honor and a way to signal they fought until the end during the depeg.

With White Whale V2 going interchain, we wanted our nft collection to be able to go interchain as well. The Fallen Guardian Whale NFTs are all IBC-enabled cw721 tokens. To send a Fallen Guardian NFT over Interblockchain Communication(IBC), the NFT needs to be sent to an ICS721 contract which handles the transportation between blockchains. The ICS721 contracts are still in Beta. Eventually, the process of sending the NFTs to the ICS721 contract will be abstracted away and users will be able to just enter the chain and address into their Keplr wallet.
