Here we are #frens, issue 33 and 17 weeks running. The stats are
looking fantastic as #Shill breaks the 5000 weekly views. Each zine
is being viewed over 3000 times.
#Shill has been working/sharing ideas over DM and Discord. It is
really heartening to see individuals taking their ideas to the next step.
@inbloom_sol has a new zine “IN BLOOM” https://bit.ly/3KytuR4
The discussions I have had with @inbloom_sol show that they know
where they want to go and how to get there. A unique approach in the
NFT space generally- I’m glad to say that it is happening on #Solana.
Think about it #anon. Of all the blockhains offering NFT services.
With their highly active social media channels. Thousands of users.
How many have a committed zine, and now artist showcase? If you
know of one, please send me the link. Personally, I have not come
across anything as consistent and community friendly as #Shill.
Pretty soon we will have a built asset in “In Bloom” to access as well.
Frankly, I’m excited for the space!
I had the privilege during the week to be part of a Twitter Spaces
headed by @DCodedNFT for the first round of auctions on
@PhantomsSol. As the timers on the auctions made their way to 0,
buyers were coming in propping the sales up to new highs. Overall,
the PhantomsSol team made an impressive launch into the space.
They are promising another 97 in the series, if this auction is anything
to go by make sure you bring a bag of $Sol! A big congratulations to
the PhantomsSol team- looking forward to your roadmap coming to
life!
Keep an eye out for the URS Crown auctions coming up on the 26
and 27 January. This will be a one-off opportunity to gain access to
one of the most productive and supportive NFT groups in the Solana
ecosystem. Owning a crown opens up a 7-month subscription for
fine art that is curated by the URS. 26 January will be fore whitelisted
participants and the 27th is for the public. THIS should be on your
list #anon.

#Shill has a couple of things in the works that should be coming to
the surface over the next couple of issues. Guest writers covering
the EU that #Shill has been sorely lacking in due to the constraints
of time zones and new sections within #Shill covering a large part of
the ecosystem that we have never touched on- gaming.
We are kicking it off this issue with an insight into “Photo Finish”.
For some of us it means nothing at all. For others it is an area of
interest worth exploring. We have Barndog delivering the goods with
a live video explainer behind the thinking and strategy he is taking
as the project starts moving towards launch day. You get to see
Barndog put his money where his mouth is! Barndog is indicative of
your average Australian. Casual. A talker. To the point. If the project
in gaming is shit, he WILL call it out. I am looking forward to more of
his content in the zine.
Anon, I impress upon you to carefully read the previous issues when
it comes to finance. Read. Make an educated opinion. Don’t just
be sitting in NFT. This space is more than just that. There was true
#ALPHA going back to November when we first started including
info about $Chest finance. Go back, follow the breadcrumbs before
the opportunity passes you by!
Finally, as I wrap up the editorial for this week, our cover design is by
none other than Space GOATS who have been featured in #Shill for
a while now. Their mint is closing in. Their art is just...art! The Space
GOAT team is phenomenal, I have had the pleasure to listen to them
talk in a Twitter Spaces. The team just gels together so nicely. And
of course, there is the main artist E Merlin Murray who is not only the
visual artist but also an aural artist in his own right! (Check out his
work in one of the previous #Shill zines). The contents page features
E Merlin Murray’s work that he ‘whipped up’ just for this issue!
A big shout out to the Solanauts NFT project. The Commish, Centi
and JCal just make the Discord community one of the best places
to frequent. #Shill zine is truly honoured by your adding it to your
website. Humbled. https://www.zeroglabs.io/community
Whitelist opportunity if you read the interview carefully!
Enough said. You know the drill. Let’s f go!

Solana NFT total sales
volume crosses $1 billion
by MK Manoylov January 19, 2022
Non-fungible token (NFT) sales on the Solana blockchain surpassed $1
billion in total volume in January of 2022, according to the NFT sales
tracker CryptoSlam!
Solana’s NFTs gained in popularity in the latter part of 2021 as Ethereum,
the most popular blockchain for NFTs, experienced prohibitively high
transaction fees.
The first Solana NFT to break $1 million occurred on September 11,
for a Degenerate Ape Academy NFT — part of a collection of 10,000
algorithmically generated 3D primates. The most expensive Solana NFT
sold for $2.1 million nearly a month later.
Solana’s highest weekly trade volumes reached $160.39 million on
August 29, 2021, according to data from The Block. However, trading
volumes for Solana-based NFTs still pale in comparison with the
Ethereum-based market, and Solana lacks high-profile NFT projects
akin to Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks.
Nonetheless, healthy investment in the Solana NFT space has continued
into the new year, as seen with the NFT protocol Metaplex raising $46
million through a SAFT sale on January 18.
¡Las ventas de tokens no fungibles (NFT) en la cadena de Solana
superaron los mil millones de dólares en volumen total en enero de

SHILL Issue #33

Los NFT de Solana ganaron popularidad en la última parte de 2021 cuando
Ethereum, la cadena de bloques más popular para NFT, experimentó tarifas de
transacción prohibitivamente altas.
El primer NFT de Solana en romper $ 1 millón ocurrió el 11 de septiembre,
para un NFT de Degenerate Ape Academy, parte de una colección de 10,000
primates 3D generados algorítmicamente. El Solana NFT más caro se vendió
por 2,1 millones de dólares casi un mes después.
Los volúmenes comerciales semanales más altos de Solana alcanzaron los
160,39 millones de dólares el 29 de agosto de 2021, según datos de The
Block. Sin embargo, los volúmenes de comercio de NFT basados en Solana
aún palidecen en comparación con el mercado basado en Ethereum, y Solana
carece de proyectos NFT de alto perfil similares a Bored Ape Yacht Club y
CryptoPunks.
No obstante, la inversión saludable en el espacio Solana NFT ha continuado
en el nuevo año, como se vio con el protocolo NFT Metaplex recaudando $ 46
millones a través de una venta SAFT el 18 de enero.

Extinct Creatures
Moon Club
Recently many NFT projects have started offering a gamified version of their
NFT to capture the community. What if there was something more noble?
Something where you could feel and know that you were making a difference?
Shill zine has the pleasure of catching up with @boltorium from the ECMC.
Welcome to the zine. Tell us a little about the team behind ECMC.
Hey, thanks for having me here. I ve been in crypto since 2018 and own a
business IRL. Community building and marketing are my passions as well as
travelling (which I almost forgot about now). I’m 35 yo, with 2 children. My
partner and artist behind the project @workart_bob is my friend, we've known
each other for like 10 years already, he is an illustrator, working with different
brands and companies for more than 15 years as an in-house and outsource
illustrator.
Now about the Moonclub. How did the idea come about and why tie it to
wildlife funds?
The first project I minted on Solana was
Trippy Bunny Tribe, it was a degen play,
but I became a total fan of them and
their community ever since. When they
donated 100% of proceeds to charity,
I thought this is how we can make an
impact – merge art with charity and do
something good. This is when the idea
came to me, and I told everything I knew
to @Workart_bob. The story line came to
us unexpected, we thought about Dodo
birds, the most famous extinct creatures
of the last several centuries. Then we
decided to make a story, that they have
never become extinct, that they have
moved to another metaverse, or another world, and we choose the Moon to be
their residence home. The story was developing itself and we have found our
Dodos on a mission to save the endangered animals on Earth. This became
our Lore.
You are one of the few NFT projects with an actual mission statement. Can
you talk about your statement, what it means to the team and how your
community see it?
We say that we are saving endangered animals. This is our mission - to build
26
SHILL Issue #33

a project, which can be known
for being good to our Earth
and our little friends here.
We are building a community
which shares our vision. They
are very excited that we are
going to make several charity
donations and so do we. If we
look in the future, we can see
a lot of opportunities to move
on with this statement and
develop ourselves as the NFT
project supporting wildlife
charity. You can do anything if
you have a community which
backs you up. This is what we
are working on.
Let’s have a look at your roadmap.
We are starting with our first DODO collection, which will have 5555 pcs in it
(with 10x 1/1) and more than 600+ traits.
Other than some standard procedures (secondary market listings, holders’
verification, sales bots etc etc) we will start working on our second collection
which is about to be dropped in April-May 2022. The unique aspect of
this collection (Dodo Mutants Moon Club) will be in the fact that to get a
mutant, you need to burn your Dodo NFT (our first collection). This will bring
additional deflation aspects in the first
collection and make it more valuable for
our holders.
ECMC DAO (holders) initiative is going
to receive 25% of secondary sales % and
they will be used according to holders'
votes.
We understand that any project needs
money to get developed so we are
allocating 20% of our mint proceeds for
DAO and Development funds, to be able
to explore the further developments
paths (the last drop for 2022 will be
SHILL Issue #33 27

a 3D NFT), which opens lots
of opportunities for further
development.
Throughout 2022 year we are
going to have 4 collection drops,
and our aim is to get our holders
to get them for free or with
almost 0 cost. We are going to
develop the Lore of our Dodo
Story, making it an exciting
journey to take part of.
Too many mints during
December and January have
rugged their community. What
are some of the steps you have
put in place to assure your
community that this project is
here to stick around?
We understand the concerns with so many rugs and really feel sorry for
everyone who suffered a loss because of that. Despite of the fact that we
truly respect the right to be anon in crypto (for a lot of reasons), we doxxed
ourselves and got verified with Civickey. We started this project almost 3
months ago and got ourselves a very
legit solana dev @ansel_sol, who has
already worked on many solana NFT
projects.
We’ve been working hard for these 3
months and are not going anywhere.
We’ve got a full year roadmap we need
to attend to, so this is what we are going
to do.
Exciting times ahead for the ECMC
holders. I would like to thank you for
your interview today with #Shill zine and
look forward to supporting the project
with a couple for the #Shill wallet!
Thank you for the interview. The only thing I want to add is that we are looking
forward to our mint which is going to be on 27th of January and welcome
everyone to join us in this event. We thought minting should be fun, so we have
made the treasure hunt event during our mint. There are 7 special attributes
28
SHILL Issue #33

hidden on our NFTs and they will be activated as we move on with
our sales. Also, there are 10 1/1 hidden in the collection which will
grant its owners special $ drops from the project. We allocate 10-
15% of our mint to these fun activities.
I also would like to whitelist anyone who comes to our
discord with “from #Shill zine” password. We have
been almost 50% full on our WL, but still have some
left which we would love to share with your readers.

Fast Food chains
serving NFTs
Jinia Shawdagor
Fast-food restaurants across the globe are jumping on the NFT
bandwagon with their own digital tokens.
Los restaurantes de comida rápida de todo el mundo se están
subiendo al carro de NFT con sus propios tokens digitales.
Analysis
The past few months have seen an explosive uptake of nonfungible
tokens (NFT) as crypto artists, gaming enthusiasts, musicians,
celebrities and now fast food chains deploy the technology in various
ways.
Fast food giants such as McDonald’s, Burger King and Taco Bell
44
SHILL Issue #33

are taking to NFTs because of their capacity to enable gamified
promotions and distribution of their products and services.
Análisis
Los últimos meses han visto una aceptación explosiva de tokens no
fungibles (NFT) a medida que los criptoartistas, los entusiastas de los
juegos, los músicos, las celebridades y ahora las cadenas de comida
rápida implementan la tecnología de varias maneras.
Los gigantes de la comida rápida como McDonald’s, Burger King y
Taco Bell están recurriendo a las NFT debido a su capacidad para
permitir promociones gamificadas y distribución de sus productos y
servicios.
Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a popular fast food brand in the United States thanks to
its Mexican-style products. In a March 2021 marketing campaign,
Taco Bell launched a new NFT collection emerging as the first among
fast-food chains to offer collectible tokens.
Taco Bell NFTs (Taco Art) comprise artistic illustrations of its fastfood
offerings, with some buyers paying upward of 10 Ether (ETH)
for one Taco Bell NFT. According to tweets from the restaurant chain,
earnings generated from the sale were donated to charity.
Taco Bell es una marca de comida rápida popular en los Estados
Unidos gracias a sus productos de estilo mexicano. En una campaña
de marketing de marzo de 2021, Taco Bell lanzó una nueva colección
NFT que surgió como la primera entre las cadenas de comida rápida
en ofrecer tokens coleccionables.
Los Taco Bell NFT (Taco Art) comprenden ilustraciones artísticas de
sus ofertas de comida rápida, y algunos compradores pagan más de
10 Ether (ETH) por un Taco Bell NFT. Según los tuits de la cadena
de restaurantes, las ganancias generadas por la venta se donaron a
obras de caridad.
Burger King
Not one to be left behind, Burger King announced its entry into the
NFT space with the release of a range of digital collectibles under a
marketing campaign dubbed “Keep It Real Meals.”
Every Burger King customer will be able to scan the QR code that
comes with their meal to receive one of three collectible game pieces.
Once a player receives all three, they will receive a fourth token that
SHILL Issue #33 45

could be a reward of a digital collectible, a year’s supply of burgers or a call
with one of the campaign’s celebrity spokespeople.
Para no quedarse atrás, Burger King anunció su entrada en el espacio NFT con
el lanzamiento de una gama de coleccionables digitales bajo una campaña
de marketing denominada “Keep It Real Meals”.
Todos los clientes de Burger King podrán escanear el código QR que viene
con su comida para recibir una de las tres piezas coleccionables del juego.
Una vez que un jugador recibe los tres, recibirá un cuarto token que podría ser
una recompensa de un coleccionable digital, un suministro de hamburguesas
para un año o una llamada con uno de los portavoces famosos de la campaña.
McDonald’s
Despite China’s ban on nearly everything crypto-related, McDonald’s China
branch will release a set of 188 NFTs to its employees and customers as
part of a giveaway celebration of the franchise’s 31st anniversary.
The NFTs consist of three-dimensional artistic designs of McDonald’s
China’s new office headquarters in a project titled “Big Mac Rubik’s Cube,”
and they were built in partnership with digital asset creation agency Cocafe.
A pesar de la prohibición de China de casi todo lo relacionado con las
criptomonedas, la sucursal de McDonald’s en China lanzará un conjunto de
188 NFT para sus empleados y clientes como parte de una celebración de
obsequio del 31.º aniversario de la franquicia.
Los NFT consisten en diseños artísticos tridimensionales de la nueva sede
de la oficina de McDonald’s China en un proyecto titulado “Big Mac Rubik’s
Cube”, y se construyeron en asociación con la agencia de creación de activos
digitales Cocafe.
Pizza Hut
The Canadian subsidiary of Pizza Hut, a fast-food chain famous for its allyou-can-eat
pizza buffet, released an NFT project called “1 Byte Favourites,”
which are digital NFT images of pizza slices.
In a March 17 announcement, the company said it would issue NFT images
of a slice of pizza every other week. Each slice and NFT image would come
with a different recipe, and interested buyers will have access to the NFTs
on Rarible.
Pizza Hut Canada chief marketing officer Daniel Meymen said that the NFT
campaign was “an opportunity to give fans another way to get their hands
on their favorite Pizza Hut recipes, even if it’s virtual.”

SHILL Issue #33

La subsidiaria canadiense de Pizza Hut, una cadena de comida rápida famosa
por su bufé de pizza de todo lo que pueda comer, lanzó un proyecto NFT
llamado “Favoritos de 1 byte”, que son imágenes digitales NFT de porciones
de pizza.
En un anuncio del 17 de marzo, la compañía dijo que emitiría imágenes NFT
de una porción de pizza cada dos semanas. Cada rebanada e imagen NFT
vendrá con una receta diferente, y los compradores interesados tendrán
acceso a los NFT en Rarible.
El director de marketing de Pizza Hut Canadá, Daniel Meymen, dijo que la
campaña NFT era “una oportunidad para brindarles a los fanáticos otra
forma de tener en sus manos sus recetas favoritas de Pizza Hut, incluso si
es virtual”.
The new marketing medium for big brands
Like every other popular trend online, marketers have hopped onto the NFT
bandwagon to get a piece of the pie and grab people’s attention by using
the novel technology.
Fast food brands and other consumer good brands are quickly discovering
that selling their products with the NFT badge and other digital collectible
jargon as part of their campaign is a winning strategy.
Even in cases where the collectibles are not limited or rare, the masses
have continued to buy NFTs at exorbitantly high prices. The jury is still out
on whether this is the future of brand marketing or just hype that will soon
die down.
Al igual que cualquier otra tendencia popular en línea, los especialistas en
marketing se han subido al carro de NFT para obtener una parte del pastel y
captar la atención de las personas mediante el uso de la tecnología novedosa.
Las marcas de comida rápida y otras marcas de bienes de consumo están
descubriendo rápidamente que vender sus productos con la insignia NFT y
otra jerga coleccionable digital como parte de su campaña es una estrategia
ganadora.
Incluso en los casos en que los coleccionables no son limitados o raros,
las masas han seguido comprando NFT a precios exorbitantes. El jurado
aún está deliberando sobre si este es el futuro del marketing de marca o
simplemente una exageración que pronto se extinguirá.

GenesysGo Will Launch a
Decentralized IDO Platform
Decentralizing IDO´s
After the smooth SHDW token IDO, GenesysGO will now release an IDO platform
to lay the foundation for developers to launch their own projects.
The largest remote procedure call provider on Solana announced their plans to
launch an IDO platform on January 22 via Twitter, drawing on the successful
SHDW token initial DEX offering three weeks ago. According to their Medium
blog, it was the first decentralized IDO on the Solana network and was powered
by their team of Alpha-Shadow operators.
Después del suave IDO del token SHDW, GenesysGO ahora lanzará una plataforma
IDO para sentar las bases para que los desarrolladores lancen sus propios
proyectos.
El mayor proveedor de llamadas de procedimientos remotos en Solana anunció
sus planes para lanzar una plataforma IDO el 22 de enero a través de Twitter,
aprovechando la exitosa oferta inicial de DEX del token SHDW hace tres semanas.
Según su blog Medium, fue el primer IDO descentralizado en la red Solana y
fue impulsado por su equipo de operadores Alpha-Shadow.
“After the $SHDW IDO ended, we realized that we were basically 90% of the way
to an IDO platform already… and, given the network difficulties that some IDO
platforms have caused the validator network lately, we decided to finish out that
last 10%,” they explain on the blog.

SHILL Issue #33

“Después de que finalizó $SHDW IDO, nos dimos cuenta de que básicamente
ya habíamos recorrido el 90 % del camino hacia una plataforma IDO… y, dadas
las dificultades de red que algunas plataformas IDO han causado últimamente
a la red de validación, decidimos terminar los últimos 10 %”, explican
en el blog.
The IDO platform will be the first of many new use cases for the Shadow
Token and aims to be fully decentralized, leveraging GenesysGo´s decentralized
RPC network and incentivizing developers to promote their projects
across the whole Solana ecosystem, not restricted or limited by a centralized
launchpad authority. It will be completely automated and on-chain via
audited smart contracts built on Anchor.
Projects that want to use the platform for their IDO launch will need to deposit
15K USD in SHDW tokens to pay for the independent server operator
fees that power GenesysGo’s decentralized RPC network.
La plataforma IDO será el primero de muchos casos de uso nuevos para
Shadow Token y tiene como objetivo estar completamente descentralizada,
aprovechando la red RPC descentralizada de GenesysGo e incentivando a
los desarrolladores a promover sus proyectos en todo el ecosistema de Solana,
sin restricciones ni limitaciones por un sistema centralizado. autoridad
de la plataforma de lanzamiento. Estará completamente automatizado y en
cadena a través de contratos inteligentes auditados construidos en Anchor.
Los proyectos que deseen utilizar la plataforma para su lanzamiento de IDO
deberán depositar 15 000 USD en tokens SHDW para pagar las tarifas del
operador del servidor independiente que alimenta la red RPC descentralizada
de GenesysGo.
“The platform will live as long as Solana does and be available for any and
all to use. That’s the beauty of blockchain, we can use it to build meaningful
platforms that help move the ecosystem forward but do it in a way that
doesn’t force the ecosystem to become more and more reliant on a centralized
team over time”, the blog concludes highlighting the importance of
decentralization to move the Solana ecosystem forward.
“La plataforma vivirá tanto tiempo como Solana y estará disponible para que
todos la usen. Esa es la belleza de blockchain, podemos usarla para construir
plataformas significativas que ayuden a hacer avanzar el ecosistema, pero
hacerlo de una manera que no obligue al ecosistema a depender cada vez
más de un equipo centralizado con el tiempo”, concluye el blog. destacando
la importancia de la descentralización para hacer avanzar el ecosistema de
Solana.

The market has definitely acknowledged the value of Solana, which
was trading below $2 on Jan 1. The token is up nearly 1000% YTD,
trading at ~200 during writing. While Solana may not do another 10x
next year, the possibility can be found in a plethora of ecosystem
tokens.
Solana has been one of the most prominent names in Web3,
DeFi, NFTs, and gaming. The blockchain proposes scalability and
innovation while maintaining security and decentralization.
Metaverse, Web3, Blockchain, Open Economy, - Just Gaming
The rise of gaming, the metaverse, and NFTs seems inevitable. The
growth of these Web3 verticals is echoed through traditional spaces.
News continues to hit headlines but notably, players like Facebook
rebranding to Meta, Microsoft acquiring Activision-Blizzard, and G2
Esports entering the NFT scene displays the trend.
Solana is the perfect breeding ground for these protocols considering
the scalability and institutional interest.
What is Mini Royale: Nations?
Mini Royale: Nations is the first live multiplayer game to launch on

shooter that requires no third-party client or installation.

There is already a live beta mode available online at miniroyale.io
that has achieved considerable popularity. Over 2 million players
have banded together to compete in action-packed PvP gameplay
during their Open Beta.
Faraway, the studio behind MRN, has raised a total of $29 million
via a seed and Series A funding round as reported by CoinDesk. The
most recent of $21 million was led by FTX and Lightspeed Venture
Partners. Other investors such as a16z, Sequoia Capital, Pantera
Capital, Jump Capital and Solana are listed on the whitepaper.
What is Nyan Heroes?
Nyan Heroes is a P2E NFT based game built on the Solana blockchain
network as a part of the growing metaverse. In the game, players will
be able to collect Nyans (Cats) and their Guardian Robots as NFTs.
These heroes can then be used to battle other players in a shooterstyle
action game.
The main cryptocurrency behind Nyan Heroes will be $NYN and
$CNTP (pegged in-game currency). The token will provide a
multifunctional governance token allocated during private and public
sales, with specific proportions set out for the core team, staking
rewards, and community treasury.
Nyan Hero has completed a $2.5 million seed round led by Three
Arrows Capital, Mechanism Capital and DeFiance Capital. Additional
strategic backing includes Sino Global Capital, Infinity Ventures
Capital, Solana Ventures, Skyvision Capital, Yield Guild Games and

What is Solice?
Solice is a VR Metaverse built on the Solana blockchain. Solice
elevates the metaverse experience to the next dimension by
providing top-quality infrastructure with next-level, immersive lifelike
visualizations.
The protocol is where virtual worlds, NFTs, and communities
intersect, with the aim to improve the overall user experience,
connecting them through interoperability across the metaverse. The
project recently began the first phase of its roadmap.
The project had a funding round enviable to most protocols. The
backing was led by Zhu Su’s Three Arrows Capital, DeFiance Capital,
and Animoca Brands. Alameda Research, Jump Capital, Genblock
Capital, KuCoin Labs, Solar Eco Fund, CMS Holdings, and Rarestone
Capital were also involved.
Selecting and Weeding Through Web3 ‘dApps’
A lot goes into evaluating projects. One of the best things I first ask
is whether or not the product or service is innovative. This is only the
tip of the iceberg. From there due diligence spans multiple fields:
Business
Finance
Legal
Tech

SHILL Issue #33

Key Personnel
Due diligence checks are thought to reduce financial risks, which
Web3 and crypto markets can bolster with. Ranging from rug pulls,
flash loan attacks, and project failure. But, due diligence is not a sole
indicator of performance
The good news is, due diligence is typically performed by multiple
parties if it’s a well-regarded project. This means for the retail investor
it can be as simple as looking at what Venture Capitalists(VC), funds,
and angels are supporting.
Large and well-regarded VCs have extensive due diligence processes.
For this exact reason, the two main criteria I will be following are:
Concluding Thoughts
An innovative, novel, or necessary product
Accredited VC’s with a reputable record
I would like to stress that this is far from financial advice. The
‘suites’ can be wrong too, but I typically don’t like to bet against
experts. Cobie, Co-Founder of UpOnly Podcast, pointed out some
potential flaws in Solana ecosystem tokenomics in his “Trading the
metagame” substack post.
“The Solana ecosystem had it’s own “very high FDV” sub-metagame,
whereby the only people that were really early were the people that
funded the seed round.” Cobie did point out. Popular trader Hsaka
also poked fun at the ecosystem Tweeting a meme highlighting the
‘very high FDV’ and the early seed round investors.
So, there are ‘veterans’, who suggest differently.

Phantoms
What is PHANTOMS?
PHANTOMS is a project of 100 hand-drawn art created by @
PhantomsSol and @DCodedNFT on the Solana blockchain. It is most
important to us is to build an organic following base and have each
PHANTOMS as a rare asset, not to release thousands of PHANTOMS
which decreases the value.
Here at Phantoms our mission is to build the best community here on
the Solana blockchain and bring value to all holders of a PHANTOM.
Our number one priority is to provide value to our PHANTOMS holders.
We will be looking into ways to secure partnerships, giveaways and
much more.
At PHANTOMS our roadmap is straight-forward. Providing value for
holders and releasing regular auctions. As the community grows, we
will allow the holders and community to decide what the future will
hold and keep our followers up to date with plans once verified.
Excited for the future of this project with more announcements
to come. Now our question to you is... will you be one of the 100
PHANTOMs living in a mansion?
Regular auctions will be held on @holaplex
Secondary sales will be live on @exchgART

¿Qué es FANTASMAS?
PHANTOMS es un proyecto de 100 obras de arte dibujadas a
mano creadas por @PhantomsSol y @DCodedNFT en la cadena de
bloques de Solana. Lo más importante para nosotros es construir
una base orgánica de seguidores y tener cada PHANTOM como un
activo raro, no liberar miles de PHANTOM, lo que disminuye el valor.
Aquí en Phantoms, nuestra misión es construir la mejor comunidad
aquí en la cadena de bloques de Solana y aportar valor a todos
los titulares de un PHANTOM. Nuestra prioridad número uno es

SHILL Issue #33

proporcionar valor a nuestros titulares de PHANTOMS. Buscaremos
formas de asegurar asociaciones, obsequios y mucho más.
En PHANTOMS, nuestra hoja de ruta es sencilla. Proporcionar valor
para los tenedores y lanzar subastas periódicas. A medida que la
comunidad crezca, permitiremos que los titulares y la comunidad
decidan qué les deparará el futuro y mantendremos a nuestros
seguidores actualizados con los planes una vez verificados.
Emocionado por el futuro de este proyecto con más anuncios por
venir. Ahora nuestra pregunta para ti es... ¿serás uno de los 100
PHANTOM que viven en una mansión?
Las subastas regulares se llevarán a cabo en @holaplex
Las ventas secundarias estarán en vivo en @exchgART
