Minxie launches NFT project that aims to give the untapped creative economy solutions through blockchain – Press release Bitcoin News
press release
PRESS RELEASE. “NFTs are not dead, they will be everywhere” says Tina Lou, marketing manager at Minxie“and in fact the bear market is the best thing that could have happened to them”, she continues, “We’ve weeded through scams and rye moves and the projects that remain are truly dedicated to Web3 values. We’ve been forced to pivot and solve some fundamental issues we saw with the first wave of NFTs As the market turns, you will see more tangibility and innovation with the way NFT creators and brands deliver value to their holders.
Minxie has created a blockchain-based social media platform that offers creators multiple options for direct monetization, including an NFT marketplace. Their mission is to address issues experienced by artists and creators currently stuck on web2 platforms. Although the platform was designed for creators of all categories, they are not afraid to point out that they specifically solve for those in marginalized and underserved categories such as cannabis, adult and crypto, who often spend their time recovering disabled accounts and fighting major disruptions in their visibility via algorithms and shadowbanning.
Disgruntled creative communities have become increasingly aware of the unfair power dynamics they have experienced on monopoly platforms such as Meta and Twitter. “The platforms have long taken the lion’s share of value and revenue generated by their creators and users, raking in dozens of billions a year in profits, while reluctantly launching one-time one-billion-dollar ‘creator funds.’ The power dynamic has long been skewed in favor of the platforms over those who made them relevant and fun to use in the first place. That combined with archaic notions of content regulation more suited to yesterday’s FCC, where they fear “refrigeration madness” and nudity more than hate speech and violence, makes their obsolescence all too obvious. The time for a fundamental shift towards a more democratic and fair form of social media is upon us, and Minxie is leading the charge.” Says Minxie’s Head of Business Development, Noah Greenburger.
With most online communities still largely untapped, Minxie plans to lead the way in bringing blockchain to the creator economy, which is why their upcoming NFT drop was designed with creators and their fans in mind.
“Most people, especially those who still think NFTs are nothing more than grossly overpriced jpegs, want value that is meaningful. The technology is solid, but what else do they get out of the art sitting in their digital wallet ?”, Minxie’s CEO Kyle Jackson continues“Many projects link access to online communities and events, which is great, but we take it much further than that.”
Minxie has taken the concept of PFP and coupled it with access and rewards with additional tools tied to different levels of rarity. “Literally every holder of our mystery NFT is a winner, but we’ve gamified it with prizes and additional tools to provide more value to our platform users and make it more fun.” Minxie says. At the base level, all MinxieVerse Pass (MVP) NFT holders will get early access to their platforms and exclusive gifts tied to real-world items people actually want – and the prizes, rewards and IRL opportunities are multiplied for those who unlock characters with specified rare characteristics.
All minters of the first MINXIE drop will receive a mystery PFP depicting an anime character, playfully decked out in sci-fi outfits with hints of 3D printed fashion styled in their photoshoots. Minxie’s head of marketing mentions working with their head of design on the concepts for the characters, “Most of my mood boards for Minxie look like Grimes had a baby with Barbarella,” she laughs, “it’s been a really fun nod to creative empowerment, and a way to bring pop culture to the world of technology, where all the solutions for artists are found.”
With technology having the potential to change the game for the benefit of artists and content creators, it will be interesting to see what projects emerge as we enter the next bull run. “The world is moving into a new era using blockchain technology to power a new asset class. Here at Minxie, we want nothing more than to help creators pioneer this new economic revolution with a platform focused on creator autonomy in connection with blockchain technology.” says Minxie’s director of community relations, Jonathan Octeus.
Minxie’s NFT collection will be released on December 22, 2022 alongside the private launch of the platform featuring original content from the first wave of alpha creators, carefully selected by the Minxie team to be available for embossing after the public launch in Q1 2023.
The original MVP NFT Whitelist of 1500 participants is already filled due to partnerships with prominent NFT collections such as Alpacadabraz, Blvck, Moonbirds Dynasty, PGodjira, AlphaSharksNFT, Habibiz and even Doodles. The Minxie team is now hosting an additional Pre-Mint waiting list for those who wish to join the Mint and be registered to access the Minxie ecosystem after the public launch in Q1 2023.
Holders of MVP NFTs will also receive a future airdrop of the $GOOD transaction token that will be sent to all MinxieVerse Pass holders at the time of the snapshot that the Minxie team will announce in Q1 2023.
