--  Arabian Camels, an NFT community revolutionizing the film industry, today announced the pre-sale of the Antara Movie NFT. Pre-sales will begin on January 14, 2022, with integration from the cryptocurrency exchange, MoonPay, enabling individuals to buy Ethereum from its official website, to enable NFT purchases.

The private pre-sale minting on January 14, 2022, will only be available to the inner circle of the Arabian Camel Club. Thereafter, whitelist spaces will start to become available to the public. To get access to the whitelist, aspiring NFT buyers can join the Arabian Camel Discord community to get access to the historic NFT drop. Following this historic minting, the Antara Movie NFT will be the first NFT that allows a buyer to digitally part-own the rights of a $50M Hollywood film. Furthermore, ownership rights will entitle holders to parts of the film's box office and streaming revenues. NFT holders can also get up to 80% yield on their NFTs from yield farming during film production, which is only possible due to an exclusive DeFi partnership between Arabian Camels and Swapp Protocol.

Arabian Camels are bending perceptions in terms of the brand strategy and how they offer exclusivity and value to their holders. Due to the symbology behind the Camels and the new era they represent, some Art Galleries around the world are expressing very strong interest in being able to also sell the Antara Movie NFTs as physical prints, with digital backing. This would enable large mantle piece canvases to be described as the first paintings in history to provide DeFi Yield functionality, and represent part IP ownership in a Blockbuster Hollywood Swords and Sandals Epic. The film “Antara” is set to make history as the first major film to be produced by an NFT, while Arabian Camels will be the first NFT community to produce and part-own the rights to a $50 million Hollywood production.

"The impact that Arabian Camels will have on Hollywood is immense. This is an exciting and revolutionary move that will inject a whole new lease of life into the movie business,” said Josef Brandmaier, Producer.

 “SC Films supports filmmakers making the artist journey to realize a film's full commercial potential. ‘Antara' is the first Hollywood-budgeted film as an NFT. Antara is innovative and disruptive to the established order of financing which is controlled by a small oligopoly in Hollywood—the democratization and decentralization is long overdue," said Matthew Joynes, Producer.

The image for the Antara Movie NFT is an Arabian Camel 2.0 that includes a distinct Hollywood clapper at the top right corner of the image. For more information on how to own an Antara Movie NFT and join the Arabian Camels club, please visit www.ArabianCamels.io.

The movie is the long overdue true story, about one of the most revered Knights in all of Arabic history - Antara Ibn Shaddad. He was born as a black slave in the Ancient Arabian Desert, and eventually won his freedom. He then went on to become not only the most dignified knight, but one of the most sagacious and respected poets in all of Arabic history. The production of the movie was meticulously put together with the help of professors of Arabic Literature from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and the School of Oriental and African studies, meaning it's not another Marvel movie. The story of Antara is reminiscent of both Alexander the Great and Romeo and Juliet. His story has been told repeatedly for the past 1,500 years. Antara rose to stardom in the 6th century, not only due to his character and prowess on the battlefield but, also, due to his miraculous talent as a poet. His poetry was held in such high regard, that it was sewn in gold, and suspended on the Kaaba in Mecca before the days of Islam. . To this day, if one studies Arabic Literature in Oxford or Cambridge, the poetry of Antara is still studied and revered.

The film was originally set to be shot in Neom, Saudi Arabia; however, Abu Dhabi, as a modern tech hub, has also shown a keen interest in hosting the production of the film. Currently, the production team is assessing which Middle Eastern region is ideal for the film's crew and production.

Celebrity Endorsements Combined with a Grassroots Community Movement

Seeing the immense value in cryptocurrency and community-funded movies, celebrities across Hollywood are buying the Antara Movie NFT. Many producers, actors, actresses, and financiers are buying the Arabian Camel NFT and joining the ‘Caravan'. Many people join the Arabian Camels community as it leads the way into the future of Hollywood.

Most recently, Larsa Pippen, TV personality and Brand Advisor for Swapp Protocol, has joined the Camel Club.

“As a female entrepreneur in tech and digital currency, I am totally inspired by the Antara Movie NFT concept, along with the ‘Antara' storyline itself. The Arabian Camels have completely redefined the boundaries of what is possible with NFTs and DeFi,” Pippen says."

Ayo and Teo, the famed duo of dancers and musicians, have also joined the Arabian Camels Club and collaborated with them to create an official Camel Song which is to be sold as an NFT. The famed artists appear in Fortnite and Just Dance, and have appeared in music videos for Usher's "No Limit" and Chris Brown's "Party". Their song "Rolex" peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has almost a Billion views on YouTube. The Camels plan on incorporating the famous and viral ‘Globglogabgalab' sample music that was sampled in Kanye West's Remote Control song, on his Donda album. Donda initially scored the most first-day streams for an album in 2021 on both Apple Music and Spotify. The Globglogabgalab music has gone viral 3 times before. It is set to do so again, but this time with the Camels.

Before the public are allowed to mint the Antara Movie NFT, a private pre-sale minting for the Antara Movie NFT will take place on the 14th January. The minting session will only be available to the inner circle Arabian Camel Club before opening up whitelist spaces to the public. Antara Movie NFT holders will get part ownership of the IP rights of the $50 million Hollywood war epic, “Antara.” The Antara Movie NFT seeks to grant buyers up to 50 percent of the intellectual property rights to “Antara” for 3 to 5 years.

The Antara Movie NFT is drawing wide interest from celebrities and NFT enthusiasts alike. Members from the Arabian Camel NFT community will share in the ownership of the film's intellectual property, get roles in the movie, credit as producers, and join the production team for exclusive gatherings on the set in the Arabian Desert with the cast and crew. The differentiation of this NFT project is its real-world utility, separating itself from the typical NFT projects of 2021, inflated by hype alone. The Arabian Camels are now becoming a powerful symbol of what is achievable when crypto communities join in numbers, united by a common vision.

The Arabian Camels envision merging movies and NFTs with DeFi, Gaming, and the Metaverse. The community believes it can extract future value from the boo ming transmedia space and simultaneously share those entertainment properties with the Arabian Camel community. Prospective film distributors would pay the owners of the Antara Movie NFT to distribute the movie in theaters and/or streaming channels, which is expected to the Arabian Camel community into millions of dollars in real-world value. 

Entering the Metaverse in Collaboration with vEmpire

Arabian Camels has also collaborated with Dominic Ryder, CEO of vEmpire, whose token has recently rocketed 1500 percent and reached a market cap of $100 million. Dominic Ryder's protocol is in the process of designing and creating the Antara Play-To-Earn game, which has already gotten the attention of some prominent venture capital firms. The multiplayer raiding game is expected to plant the Arabian Camels brand and the Antara IP firmly into the metaverse and add another layer of value for Arabian Camels' holders. The game is set to bring fun and reliable income to thousands of players in developing countries and will run off a scholarship model. The Arabian Camels NFTs will be a commodity within the game. In conjunction, they will also be launching their very own gaming token, the in-game currency that is set to be listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges.

Have you ever wish to join a project in which the PRESALE was FULLY FILLED in under 1 min yet still very early as it still haven't launched yet? Maybe be a part of a unique Low Market Cap token with a combination of both Trending Topic like Mario and Elon Musk's dog, Floki per say? Or maybe take part in a community with solid fundamental and experienced team which keep on delivering huge marketing?

Well, now you can have it all with… MarioFloki!

Mario Floki: The Next Big Thing in Crypto World

Get that nostalgia from the legendary Mario game but with a big advantageous twist - you can earn crypto just by playing it and own the cutest NFT with unique capabilities. And join while you're still very EARLY! Keep reading to learn how -  Let's-a GO!!!

What Is Mario Floki Exactly?

There is a fair share of Mario-inspired projects along with a plethora of dog-themed ones.  Yes, Mario Floki is a token project but it isn't just your typical meme coin.  Instead, Mario Floki is a token project that has a “Super Mario Brothers meets Floki Shiba Inu” theme.  Both are super cute and recognizable - so why not right?  It sounds good but what exactly makes Mario Floki's token project so special?  

Well first and foremost, their presale is sold out in UNDER 1 MIN, which is groundbreaking! This has never happened before and this mean huge futures for this project! And not just that, MarioFloki has some of the best marketing plans ever, one of them is an Upcoming Live Launch Video Call with the legendary Gold medalist, six-time U.S. national champion freestyle wrestler KURT ANGLE at 23 DEC 2021!!

And the features! Well, just imagine earning token rewards just by playing a Super Mario-themed mini-game, then using them to earn BUSD.  There's also an NFT marketplace where you can buy, sell, trade, or HODL your favorite characters.  Aside from all of this, players and holders can use the tokens to actively or passively earn BUSD through their DeFi protocol.  This is all pretty impressive but it doesn't end there.  As a member of the Mario Floki community, you are actually contributing to the welfare of kids (more on this later)!

The Pillars Of The Mario Floki World

We've all seen projects fail after the initial hype dies down and most of the whales have liquidated their holdings.  The overall trading volume reduces shortly thereafter, usually in parallel with the mounting FUD.  The fate of a token without utility, or at least a solid use case, is often destined to the graveyard of dead crypto projects.  Luckily for the Mario Floki community, several pillars establish the foundation of their token project.  Let's take a look at each pillar in detail.  

Play-To-Earn Gameplay

Mario Floki capitalized on NFT games which is currently booming by creating their play-to-earn (P2E) game which is reminiscent of the original Super Mario Brothers (SMB) side scroller.   Who doesn't want to play games while earning, right?

The characters that can be chosen are all inspired by the cast found in SMB and the storyline is similar too.   You'll be able to select a character like MarioFloki, or FlokeyKong, or a host of other familiar characters and progress through the levels while racking up points, collecting power-ups, and gaining experience.  Princess PeachFloki is being held captive so it's your job to clear the stages of the MushroomFloki Kingdom and fight your way towards the final boss, BowserFloki.  

All of this sounds pretty familiar, doesn't it?  Here's the thing – Mario Floki isn't trying to reinvent the wheel or tap into the metaverse.  Their intention is simple:  Let players have some fun with mini-games and let them earn $MRFLOKI tokens at the end of each level completion.  The P2E mini-game format is perfect for those who like to game but don't want to invest hours upon hours to level up their characters only to receive marginal payouts.  Playing the game is simple too.  

You're allocated three tries, or “lives”, per day which is similar to how the original SMB game was set up.  There isn't a reset or pause button so there is an element of FOMO on token earnings per day if you were to lose all of your tries.  You'll definitely want to hone your skills because the difficulty increases with every stage but the overall game is simple enough that the barrier to entry is quite low.  Because the P2E game maintains interest via the leadership rankings, players are incentivized to keep on playing and to continue unlocking rewards.   The players at the top of the rankings will receive prizes that are set by the community but you'll need to be actively playing and maintaining your position to see what they will be.

Rewards, Charity, And Earning Mechanics

Okay, so you're getting good at the P2E game and are accumulating tons of $MRFLOKI tokens.  What do you do with them?  After accruing at least 100 million $MRFLOKI tokens you can earn crypto passively.   Yep, you read correctly!  The Mario Floki team calls this the “Super BUSD Bonus” where players can earn BUSD rewards automatically every hour just as long as this minimum holding quantity is held.  Since BUSD's price is relatively stable, you can rest assured that your cashouts from crypto to fiat will be fairly accurate and predictable.  

Other competitor tokens require a much higher minimum holding quantity - some as high as 10x more.  The $MRFLOKI token supply is limited to only 1,000,000,000,000 which is also comparably low to other competing projects.   What this means is that the relative token scarcity and the low minimum holding quantity for earnings make it attractive for passive income investors.  With the law of supply and demand in full effect here, you can expect the price of each token to increase in value as time passes, especially as interest in the project grows.  

As a $MRFLOKI token holder, you will be earning on every transaction.  The tokenomics is set up so that for each type of transaction (either buy or sell), tax is collected and redistributed to different sections of the operations and as rewards to HODLers.  You stand to earn anywhere from 6-8% BUSD for these transactions so it pays to HODL – the more you hold, the more you will earn in taxes.  What's interesting here is that from the taxes collected from the sell transactions, a portion goes to charity.  

Mario Floki wants to give back, not only to the community of investors but also to those in need.   Mario Marathon is an online fundraising organization for children in need and the team at Mario Floki drew inspiration from them and mirrored their idea.  The team is working to establish partnerships with charities that specifically work towards the betterment of children's lives.  Think of the children out there with no food, shelter, medicine, have disabilities, or lack opportunities.  What this means is, you as a $MRFLOKI token holder will be contributing to these charities and therefore helping to transform people's lives. 

NFTs And Giveaways

The Mario Floki team is working to partner up with various exchanges soon so make sure to keep up with them via their Telegram account.  Once they are listed, you can expect their token value to spike pretty much immediately, so watch out for that.  The team plans to issue daily quizzes so that all levels of investors in the community and even non-investors have fair earning opportunities. These provide another avenue of earning rewards and while securing whitelist spots for giveaways.  

Remember we talked about the playable characters in the P2E game?  Special edition characters can be purchased through the NFT marketplace.   These aren't your typical NFT digital art, however.   You can marvel at its beauty but because only a limited supply of each character are minted, they will truly be scarce and as the project increases in popularity, they will become coveted items.   

As an added incentive, these NFT's can be playable in the P2E game.  The difference with these NFTs versus the stock characters is that they will have special attributes, like the ability to throw barrels if you have one of the special edition Flokey Kong NFTs.  Because the NFT can be used within the P2E game, you have an advantage in the game and this can ultimately play in your favor when earning rewards.

Why Should I Join Mario Floki?

Mario Floki is DeFi token project that allows players, investors, HODLers to earn crypto while buying and trading within their NFT marketplace.  The $MRFLOKI token is directly correlated to your BUSD earning potential.  The more you have the more you can earn passively but it isn't just a means to earn crypto.  

Mario Floki combines Defi and crypto P2E gaming while contributing to the betterment of children's lives – all through a fun, playful, and familiar cast of characters. But what makes it so different than any others is that this Low Market Cap token has a Record Breaking presale, a vidcall with Kurt Angle soon at their Launch Date, a huge marketing plans, an amazing team and community, tons of giveaways and prized giveaways, and so many more bright futures ahead!

If this isn't a win for all, I don't know what is.  The LAUNCH is coming up very soon so make sure to get in on the action asap and meet KURT ANGLE with MarioFloki! And please remember you are still very early if you join it now so be a part of it now before you get left out because this project is going to the moon!
