In 2021 we saw the rise of the NFT project. A team of marketing, business strategists, technical leaders, and community builders all working towards the release of a supply of NFTs.

Before buying into these collections, a project was judged on its roadmap. Roadmaps started simple — access to a community, future metaverse land purchases, and games. Overtime, as the market has saturated, projects have had to evolve in complexity to stand out.

Today, NFT projects seek to build metaverse ready avatars, parcels of land, creator tools, and token ecosystems to support their communities. But delivering on these roadmaps has become increasingly difficult as the technical requirements for each have grown.

The most successful projects have teams behind them with deep experience in their respective fields. This instills confidence in the community that roadmaps will be delivered. Most importantly though, these teams ensure that the project itself will be around for the long-term.

Establishing partnerships with these types of projects is critical for the market to reach a true metaverse future.

This is why XONE has partnered with Jurassic Punks.

What is XONE?

Your XONE is an immersive parcel of land projected into the world through Augmented Reality (“AR”) technology. It’s a 3D environment analogous to your childhood bedroom in digital form. Through a companion AR app holders can explore their XONE, display NFTs, customize, socialize with friends, and visit immersive community areas.

Building your XONE

The long-term goal for XONE is to re-imagine the relationship between a creator and their online profile and define the next era of social media.

Rather than two-dimensional profiles like on Instagram or Linkedin, XONE introduces profiles as 3D environments. Your XONE — your space — merges all other platforms you use, encapsulating your uniqueness; a digital place where you can showcase your passions, your achievements, real life and digital events you visited and the digital assets you own.

What is Jurassic Punks?

65 million years ago an asteroid rocketed towards Earth, an extinction level event destined to wipe out the Dinosaurs forever… But it missed! Leaving them to evolve into the JPunks, a 3D misfit group of characters who are now the dominant species in the Metaverse.

Jurassic Punks is the creation of Meta-Labs Studios, an animation and film-making studio founded by 2 veterans of the VFX industry. They have worked with and led some of the most influential studios in the post industry, working with clients such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Lacoste, Audi and Rolex, alongside some of the worlds best directors.

Purpose built in Unreal Engine 5, Jurassic Punks aims to empower owners with their own 3d rigged models, including IP rights, ready to integrate into compatible Games and Metaverses and they have already partnered with Netvrk. They are also delivering an animated series and live digital fashion shows, starring your JPunks, utilising their own 30,000 sqft motion capture studio setup, blurring the lines between physical and digital.

Their Genesis collection the OG-Rex’s launches Q1 2022 with plans to expand the collection with more species, applications and events.

How will they work together?

Avatar Integration

XONE and JPunks will work together to integrate their OG-Rex collection of 7777 pre-rigged models into XONE’s augmented reality metaverse.

The Jpunks team has taken careful consideration to build each OG-Rex as a pre-rigged model. This will allow XONE to easily import their 3D avatars and animate actions which can be carried out within XONE’s augmented reality world. By using XONE’s joystick technology creators will be able to explore and interact within personal and community XONES.

Dedicated Community Space

XONE will create a dedicated community space within the XAPP which holders can explore and interact with their Jpunks avatars.

Integrated Metaverses

XONE is a mobile AR metaverse which offers us the unique ability to launch XONE technology across browser and mobile touchpoints. Given Jpunks close ties with Ntvrk, a leading metaverse provider, we will create ties between metaverses by using QR codes to launch the XONE mobile app.

The user experience will be as follows:

JPunks holders can explore dedicated community areas within the Ntvrk metaverse platform. Within these spaces they will discover QR codes embedded on the walls or via unlocked content. Scanning (or clicking) these QR codes will launch the XAPP and immediately bring those holders to a dedicated Augmented Reality community XONE.

Access to O-XONE Performance Venue

Holders of Jpunks and XONES will have access to our O-XONE performance venue for upcoming artists and label experiences.
