Rug Radio’s NFT PFP collection: What you should know
Leading NFT aggregator and web3 personality Farokh’s decentralized platform “Rug Radio” has announced a PFP project as part of its rapid expansion plan. The “Faces of Web3” project will bring forth generative avatars in the style of NFT artist Cory Van Lew. The project was announced at Art Basel, Miami earlier this week. Read on to learn more about this special project!
What is the Rug Radio NFT Collection all about?
Rug Radio is a unique and fully decentralized web3 media platform. Its shared ownership model allows the community to drive the narrative of the platform itself. Through the Rug Radio “Faces of Web3” PFP project, the platform aims to expand its message and community. This is a large-scale generative art project that showcases multidisciplinary artist Cory Van Lew’s distinct and vibrant style.
According to platform founder Farokh, the concept of the “Faces” project is also an extended nod to Rug Radio as one of the biggest “voices” of web3. Currently, there have been no further announcements regarding price, launch date or total supply. The PFP project was also announced via Rug Radio’s official Twitter handle – @RugRadio. The pinned tweet features a collage of digital avatars in the lively style of Van Lew. It says “Rug Radio X @CoryVanLew COMING SOON.”
“We collaborate all the time and work hard to come up with new shows. The NFT space kind of demands it. It’s very topical… every day is like a week,” Farokh said. “One thing that a lot of people get wrong, in my opinion, is [the idea] that decentralization is anarchy. It is not. To get really where we want, it will take a few years. The road [Rug Radio] intends to do so by involving the community in important decisions.” The tweet has since received a positive response from a multitude of web3 OGs and enthusiasts.
Farokh also states that the PFP project is more than just a digital identity via avatars, it represents web3 culture across the project. However, the “Faces of Web3” project is still only a separate part of the Rug Radio platform. Farokh also insists that the community remains the number one priority in the Rug Radio ecosystem.
More about the platform
Rug Radio exists to own the web3 “narrative and memes”. Its core values include building a network that embodies truth, ownership and long-term care for local communities. On Rug Radio, the community can decide what they consume, how it is delivered, and generally how they benefit from the abundance created through the platform. Access to the platform’s ecosystem is via the membership card, which includes voting rights and benefits for community participation. In addition, Rug Radio also includes a Genesis collection. Genesis NFT allows collectors to earn $RUG utility tokens. These tokens can in turn give them access to the Rug Radio DAO.
