SUPER SAPIENSS Entertainment DAO Drops NFT

Leading Japanese directors, Yukihiko Tsutsumi, Katsuyuki Motohiro and Yuichi Sato are all set to drop NFTs from their SUPER SAPIENSS entertainment DAO. The project aims to usher in a new era of entertainment in Japan. SUPER SAPIENSS launches the NFTs on December 17. Let’s take a closer look at what the SUPER SAPIENSS project is all about.

What is SUPER SAPIENSS?

SUPER SAPIENSS is a unique entertainment project from Yukihiko Tsutsumi, Katsuyuki Motohiro and Yuichi Sato. The three directors have been at the forefront of the growth of the Japanese entertainment and film industry. Also, producer Takeshi Moriya has joined the project as a board member to create and visualize the original story.

In a first for Japan, the four will co-produce and direct the project with the fans. To be sure, in the team’s own words, this is one “super independent project made with fans”. As a creator-first project, the SUPER SAPIENSS IP has huge applications such as web series comics and filmmaking. To make this a reality, the project will be co-created with SUPER SAPIENSS entertainment DAO.

What are SUPER SAPIENSS NFTs?

SUPER SAPIENSS NFTs are generative art NFTs based on director Tsutsumi’s original character proposal. Manga artist Chobi developed the artwork for both the NFTs and the SUPER SAPIENSS web image. In particular, the NFT creatives focus on Japanese culture, which is becoming increasingly popular around the world. The project will use these NFTs as a fundraising and community tool.

For holders, the NFTs offer a number of tools. This includes commercial rights over the NFTs, with the holders’ NFTs appearing in online movies and/or live-action film productions. In addition, holders get early alpha about the project, the right to propose ESP ideas for the project, and much more.

When is the NFT sale?

SUPER SAPIENSS NFTs will have both a presale and a public sale, with only whitelist members allowed to join the former. A total of 1093 members allowed on the list can mint the NFTs from 00:00 EST to 23:30 EST on December 17th during the first pre-sale. Here, 5,465 NFTs will be available, with a maximum of five mints per person.

Then, the second presale will go live between 12:00 AM EST on December 18th and 12:00 AM EST on December 19th. Any NFTs not sold in the previous sale will be available during this sale. Finally, the public sale opens at 10:00 PM EST on December 19th, and closes 24 hours later. Only 1000 NFTs will be available for this. To clarify – the approval list does not guarantee the right to buy, but allow users on the list to create on a first-come, first-served basis.

As the approval list draw is still ongoing, this is a great opportunity for you to apply for a place. Go over to the project’s website to apply by the deadline at 10:00am EST on December 8th. For further details, be sure to follow SUPER SAPIENSS on Twitter and join it Discord server.
