The post This NFT Collection Topped $1 Billion in Sales appeared first on Unchained Podcast.

His announcement comes two weeks before the launch of the protocol's NFT collection, the Cats and Watches Society collection. The event set to unroll on January 17 will also entail the launch of its V2 marketplace. 

According to Mr. Mihai, his first purchase from the BAYC collection is his way of showing his support towards NFTs. Furthermore, he considers it the best time to join the BAYC movement, before the launch of the DYP NFT collection.

So far, the BAYC collection has been making a name for itself in the market, holding some of the most coveted pieces in the space. According to a Dune Analytics report, the collection has garnered over $500 million since the start of its sales. 

The collection contains 10 000 of the Bored Ape NFTs, with some selling as high as over 700 ETH. Mr. Mihai is now among the many who have invested in BAYC, considering notable figures, such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Jimmy Fallon, Post Malone, Steve Aoki, and more.

The Cats and Watches Society Collection

The Cat and Watch Society collection is a brainchild of the DYP protocol, leveraging the support of the Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche network, and Ethereum blockchain. The collection, also dubbed PAW, will be inclusive of 10 000 cats with 182 traits for any interested party to choose from, including clothes, color, watches, to mention but a few.

To avoid bias during the sale, the protocol will ensure that every PAW NFT sells at the same price; that is, $250 dollars for every Cat, while eliminating price tiers to prevent price differences. 

Owning a Cat gives you exclusive access to members-only benefits, including access to the marketplace and a Society Account. However, you need to own a Metamask wallet account for the process to be complete. Additionally, Cat holders will receive rewards from 20% ((10% from minting fees and 10% from selling fees) of all sales made every week.

DYP Could be the Next Big Thing in NFTs

DYP and its team are taking advantage of the greener pastures that the NFT market is laying out for crypto enthusiasts. While the step by its founder could seem like a rash decision, it stands as an indicator of his faith in the sector.

Furthermore, the creation of the Cats and Watches Society collection can open more doors for the protocol as a viable investment opportunity. As it stands, it has managed to bury its roots into the DeFi industry, offering lucrative yield farming opportunities while protecting its investors from market manipulation.

The collection wishes to speak of novelty through its NFTs while offering watch enthusiasts a chance to make the most out of the trendy elements present. Nonetheless, there is more to come, which means greater potential for the PAW collection. 

Soon, the cryptoverse should expect more, including a PAW metaverse, a Play-to-Earn opportunity for holders, PAW staking options, free watch minting, and more. These steps combined with its marketplace will make DYP a crucial part of the current and future NFT market.

About DYP

The Hot Potatoes metaverse is a closed-doors gaming world where only HPs holders can compete for the bi-yearly grand prize of the game in a true play-to-win elimination style tournament. 

Each extravagant Hot Potato possesses rare pre-defined traits acquired by interacting with humanity. These attributes include elements that might resemble some of the most extravagant real world characters of our time.   

There is also a category of exclusive HPs with ultra-rare features and names such as HPs that resemble some of the most iconic and historical characters for each country or community. Some examples include Hot Potato Trump, Hot Potato Napoleon, Hot Potato Gandhi. and Hot Potato Marylin Monroe. The attributes of each NFT determine its rarity and value. 

Holders of the most unique NFTs better their chances of surviving and claiming huge prizes starting from 12 ETH per winner in each six-month-long game. 

Pre-Register for the HPs Sale to Access the First NFTs

The game developers have opened the pre-registration phase for investors wishing to join the PotatoVerse and be the first to hold exclusive and valuable NFTs. Pre-registered users will have early access to the upcoming pre-sale event, which will offer the first batch of HPs for minting.

The pre-registration form is currently accessible on the Hot Potatoes official website. Early-bird investors will be whitelisted to participate in the pre-sale and bag up to 5 limited collection NFTs. The pre-sale is scheduled to take place one week before the Public Mint Date.  

Following the pre-sale event, most of the remaining HPs will be released to the public for sale, opening the door for the official launch of the PotatoVerse in Q2 2022. Private and public sale participants can create awesome NFTs at an initial mint price of 0.05 ETH and view their digital artwork on their Metamask wallet or on the Hot Potatoes website.

Gamers on the Hot Potatoes metaverse  can mint an unlimited number of NFTs. The more HPs a user mints, the higher their chance of getting a rare NFT with the potential to acquire rare attributes and appreciate over time. Holding more HPs also increases the chances of surviving to the end and grabbing the final prize. 

Hot Potatoes Are Tradable on OpenSea

Users who mint HPs can sell, collect and exchange their exclusive digital collections on OpenSea, the biggest NFT marketplace. Gaming enthusiasts and NFT investors who miss out on the pre-sale events can purchase these HPs exclusively on the popular market and earn the right to join the PotatoVerse. 

Note that only HPs bought from OpenSea are eligible to join the game. That is because transactions on the leading NFT marketplace support royalties that enrich the final prize pool and fund game creation and development. 

Crypto users can also access HPs from a special releases pool that will be excluded from the Token sale event. The project backers will release these reserved collectibles in the form of future NFT injections into the market and airdrops to community members. 

The game developers are committed to creating a new world of NFT - based gaming. Their platform combines the value and rarity of digital collectibles with the fun and competitiveness of high-stakes play to win gaming.

vEmpire (https://www.v-empire.digital/), a project dedicated to restoring fairness to the Metaverse, has partnered with The Antara Universe to develop the official Antara strategy game based on the upcoming $50M “Antara” feature film, the first Hollywood Movie in history supported by NFTs. The Antara film is part of a broader transmedia rollout by the Arabian Camels community, and also includes the “Antara Strategy Game,” developed by vEmpire. Both Antara IP and vEmpire understand the importance of building utility for NFT projects, so holders of the Arabian Camels and The Founding Soldiers, vEmpire's NFT series, will automatically qualify to be gifted tokens for the official Antara game via an airdrop. 

The Antara film will be supported by the sale of new upcoming Movie NFTs, which will be a sequel to the original Arabian Camels NFT collection of 12,012 uniquely generated digital collectibles living on the Ethereum blockchain.  

The first iteration of Arabian Camels (Gen 1) available on OpenSea, provides added boosts and benefits for gameplay such as the ability to use Camels to conduct raids in the game. Players who don't own Camels can also effectively rent them from the NFT holders to enable more advanced & potentially higher-yielding gameplay. The upcoming Gen 2 Arabian Camels Movie NFTs will include exclusive rights to the Antara movie, allowing for shared ownership of the IP. Demand for the NFTs is expected to increase exponentially given the launch of the game and movie in the coming months. 

“vEmpire DDAO was an easy choice to partner with for our game production. vEmpire has the unique ability and experience in not just one, but across all of the major Metaverses. Alongside this, their own gaming experience and multidimensional thinking gives us a broader scope when choosing where Antara can put its roots down,” said Alexander Amartei, producer of Antara.

“It's a great honor to partner and be involved in a project that will go down in history as the first of its kind. At vEmpire, we understand that NFTs are a disruptive technology that will significantly improve a multitude of industries. Developing the official game for a historic feature film, that will change the landscape of how movies are produced, is something that we're very excited and proud to be involved with,” commented vEmpire founder Dom Ryder.

This is a monumental achievement for vEmpire as it signifies another major partnership, this time partnering with a historic project, to develop the first blockchain-based game based on the first feature film supported by NFTs. This will help vEmpire expand its reach in the metaverse and benefit from any tokens launched for the game and in-game revenue generation.

The Arabian Camels NFTs are available on OpenSea and the new upcoming Movie NFTs, soon to be released, will enable NFT holders to own partial movie rights to the film. 

More information surrounding the upcoming Antara film can be found on the official website or by joining the Arabian Camels Discord community.

$COQ token is the first to let its holders vote to raise or lower the taxation and dividends rates to take advantage of the pool goals, market sentiment, or other events. To earn BNBs every hour and to vote, members are required to hold at least 1M $COQ tokens in their wallet.

$COQ is part of a new wave of Defi tokens popping up that integrates a Dynamic Reflection Token(DRT) mechanism designed to reward holders. These new tokens protect investors against manipulation from whales, ensuring an equitable ecosystem where everyone has a fair chance to bag rewards regardless of their wallet size. 

Several crypto communities have endorsed $COQ as the best lucrative and creative Reflection Token. Crypto supporters simply need to connect their wallets to purchase and HODL $COQ to get more BNB dividends forever. 

The CoqView dApp allows users to calculate and track their BNB reflections based on their $COQ token holdings and estimate the next payout in real-time.

How Does the Project Generate More BNB Rewards?

$COQ combines powerful trading mechanisms and DeFi protocols to produce BNB rewards aggressively and consistently. The production of BNB dividends is powered by various innovative strategies, including staking-lending (COQ-FARM), Internal Auto Trading Systems (COQ-ATS), and DEX Transactions (COQ-SWAP). 

The BNB production also stems from DEX and CEX pairing transactions on top-tier exchanges such as Binance, Gate.io, KuCoin, and many more. Additionally, crypto and DeFi investors on the multi-functional platform receive aggressive BNB dividends from the project's promotion on multiple social media platforms.

The project boasts a unique reward reflection model that guarantees holders passive income in BNB every time $COQ coins are bought, sold, or transferred. Users currently need to have 10M $COQ to be eligible for rewards, although the community can vote to raise or lower the tax and dividend rate at any time. The BNB returns are automatically sent to token holders' wallets.

A Closer Look at the $COQ Tokenomics

$COQ deploys excellent reflective tokenomics aimed at creating a fast-growing community and empowering holders to become BNB-wealthy forever. 

A 15% tax is charged on all transactions, with 10% of the fees going directly to $COQ coin holders, allowing them to earn a passive income simply for HOLDling. 

Meanwhile, 1% of the transaction fees goes toward increasing $COQ liquidity, raising the token's price floor to combat price fluctuations. 1% goes to the burn wallet, which removes a portion of tokens from circulation to stretch the supply and increase demand.

Furthermore, the $COQ project deploys an entirely fair method that protects against price manipulation by big-money investors. To this end, the protocol restricts $COQ token sell transactions to less than 0.1% of the total supply and charges an extra 2% tax on all non-buy transactions.

This strategy deters whales from dumping their coins during the start of the price discovery stage, ensuring $COQ can reach its full moonshot potential. It also counters swing trading and reduces arbitrage on sell transactions.

The anti-whale dumping mechanism goes a step further to protect investors by capping the maximum amount any wallet can hold to 1% of the total supply. An additional 2% from all trades goes into aggressive $COQ evangelization and community giveaways to generate hype around the project for the long haul.

The Upcoming $COQ NFT Collection

Besides creating the next generation of yield-producing contracts on BSC, the $COQ team plans to release a fascinating NFT collection and new tokens on the ETH blockchain. The NFT collection ties in beautifully into the $COQ ecosystem, offering crypto fans more options and an unforgettable experience.

The team behind ZUNA coin is at it again. Moving forward with their plans to release an NFT collection followed by a full NFT marketplace there looks to be some exciting months ahead.
In January of 2022, ZUNA will be releasing an exclusive astronaut styled NFT collection with 1969 individual variations. Striving to be different, ZUNA will be building in utility to each NFT in the form of passive $ZUNA rewards. The rarer your astronaut, the more rewards you earn just by holding the NFT in your wallet.

While there are 1969 variations, the rarity will be determined by how many of that particular astronaut NFT is available, with the rarest being one of one created. Earning rewards for simply holding NFT's is a new idea that only a handful of NFT projects currently offer.

Going one step further to provide as much value as possible to its NFT holders; ZUNA NFT's will also have future passive rewards from its upcoming NFT Marketplace. By owning one of the original astronaut NFT's you will be entitled to a percentage of all transactions once the marketplace is fully built and running. Plans to build the marketplace are already underway.

Upcoming NFT Marketplace
Following the release of ZUNA's NFT collection, the team will begin building out the marketplace. Their plan is to deliver a marketplace that rivals opensea.io in quality and functionality. Delivery of ZUNA's marketplace is expected towards the end of Q2 2022.

The marketplace will be run on $ZUNA for every purchase and sale. Those who hold one of the original astronaut NFT's will have a share in all transaction fees (in the form of $ZUNA) that take place on the NFT marketplace. Creators will be able to launch collections and host a variety of NFT's with ease.

Moreover, the team behind ZUNA will be releasing training and step by step tutorials to teach anyone who wishes to launch their own collection on the ZUNA NFT platform. The ZUNA community is eagerly awaiting the marketplace release, and many have already begun workshopping NFT collections to be listed.

The NFT marketplace will provide the first true utility for $ZUNA, with many more projects to follow.

Looking To The Future
ZUNA was never designed to be just another meme/hype coin. True utility, an amazing community and dedicated developers will ensure the success of ZUNA for years to come. There is tremendous room for growth and utility integrations. Investors will want to make ZUNA a long term hold and are sure to be happy with their returns.

$ZUNA is currently available on PancakeSwap.Finance with multiple exchanges being added in the near future. Developers have their eyes on a handful of exchanges including Hotbit, Cointiger and Gate.io.

You can connect with the ZUNA community by following them on Twitter or joining their Telegram group.
