<strong>Issue</strong> <strong>74</strong> and #<strong>SHILL</strong> zine cracks a new milestone with issues 61 & 62 gaining over 10k views each. This makes<br />
5 issues that have individually gained over 10k views. You have to be happy with that. Add to this a couple of<br />
other issues that are very close to 10k. #<strong>SHILL</strong> is slowly reaching the masses. The weekly average views still<br />
fluctuates around the 8k mark which has been maintained since around March of 2022. The goal for end of<br />
year is to have a steady 10k views per week. It's a grind!<br />
Two weeks ago #<strong>SHILL</strong> started featuring new photography works by #ebrosmash. Shooting from Indonesia<br />
with 2 beautiful cameras; the Fuji X100V (a nifty street camera) and the glorious GFX100S (I am envious!) for<br />
true full-frame panoramas. @ebrosmash's work was a no-brainer to include in #<strong>SHILL</strong>. The photos tell a story.<br />
Capture a moment. It's what I want to see in photography. Little did I know that @ebrosmash sent one of their<br />
NFT to the #<strong>SHILL</strong> zine wallet as a sign of appreciation. Really appreciate it ebro. It's in the #<strong>SHILL</strong> vault!<br />
The first ever 'Special Edition' #<strong>SHILL</strong> zine went to print on 15 Sept, 2022 ready for a physical drop at a Sydney,<br />
Australia event on Sat 17 Sept. A limited run of 50 magazines highlighting Australian content for the Australian<br />
event. If the reception is positive then I will use this event to consider how the 100th issue will go LIVE. When<br />
you factor in printing costs and international shipping it may end up costing around $40 aud to break even.<br />
But, it will be the 1st ever, commercially printed Solana magazine. Again, a limited edition. #<strong>SHILL</strong> zine will be<br />
calling for NFT artists who want to be involved soon. Just imagine, a physical magazine in someone's hands<br />
somewhere in the world with your artwork!<br />
A whole lot of content in this issue. NFTs to tickle your senses. Alpha to contemplate. Stories you may have<br />
missed. It's good to know that at the end of the week you can rely on #<strong>SHILL</strong> zine to package it all up in one<br />
convenient magazine that you can access when you are ready.<br />
Ready to dive in?<br />
Enough said. You know the drill.<br />

@Simpl3r_BH<br />
Our Vision<br />
Simpl3r is creating a platform for creators to build, engage<br />
and grow their communities.<br />
or NFT collections. Simpl3r provides real solutions to issues<br />
present throughout many Web3 projects.<br />
Creators have access to a Customer Relationship Manager<br />
(CRM), Sales Hub, Marketing Hub, and Engagement Hub, where<br />
they can track their partners, audience and marketing for their<br />
project. Each hub has a different purpose.<br />
Problem<br />
Web3 projects typically are launched around tools that<br />
are not designed for purpose, are inefficient and leave<br />
project developers without analytics and insight into their<br />
communities and potential customers.<br />
Currently, most projects in the web3 space are working in the<br />
dark. They hope their marketing efforts will attract the right<br />
people to buy into their project.<br />
The inability to analyze and adapt means that projects waste<br />
money, time and effort, becoming unnecessarily inefficient,<br />
expensive and risky. It is hugely detrimental when the results<br />
are only known via the success (or failure) of their mint.<br />
Typically web3 projects want to launch their project and mint<br />
within a 1 to 2-month period.<br />
To do this, they need to:<br />
Establish and manage a community<br />
Create engagement to attract customers<br />
Build and manage collaborations<br />
Create interest in their project<br />
Manage their access lists<br />
Teams cannot pre-build their marketing campaigns or tailor<br />
their messaging using the current launch tools. This means<br />
that web3 outreach and marketing demand a significant<br />
burden at a time when founders need to be concentrating on<br />
their community, project and growth.<br />
As a result, the NFT project model is plagued by low adoption,<br />
poor user experience and a lack of clarity on how to market<br />
to the broader web3 community.<br />
Simpl3r was created to simultaneously be a data warehouse<br />
and communications tool for web3 projects. Simpl3r<br />
promises a single product suite that enables projects to<br />
deepen their insight and relationships with customers and<br />
provide the best experience possible.<br />
Solution<br />
Simpl3r is a community management platform designed for<br />
Web3 teams. It provides users with a toolset to oversee the<br />
different aspects of managing and marketing their tokens<br />
Customer Relationship Manager (CRM)<br />
Simpl3r has designed and built an integrated solution for web3<br />
projects and companies, allowing teams to attract and track<br />
interactions across multiple platforms, including Twitter and<br />
Discord. The CRM forms the basis of the platform and is free to<br />
use for all teams, no matter their size.<br />
Once a team has set up their project in the Simpl3r platform,<br />
new contacts will be created automatically via interactions with<br />
integrated applications and accounts. The contact for that user<br />
is then continuously enriched with any other interactions with<br />
the project. This allows teams to quickly see the most engaged<br />
contacts and identify if they are attracting the right people via<br />
their marketing channels.<br />
You can derive detailed analytical information from these<br />
interactions and get actionable insights into your community<br />
that are currently unavailable through more traditional web3<br />
practices<br />
Sales Hub<br />
Our Sales Hub is designed for teams to manage their sales<br />
pipeline and identify which customers are ready to be<br />
approached. It provides industry-first insights into customer<br />
buying habits.<br />
Overview<br />
The Simpl3r overview provides sales teams with enriched on
and off-chain data about the contacts in their pipeline,<br />
giving teams actionable insights to help them answer<br />
key questions about who they have attracted into their<br />
community. These insights include historical data such as<br />
average mint quantity, price, and standard mint days of the<br />
week or month, allowing teams to use historical data to<br />
inform their decisions..<br />
Access Lists<br />
The current application of access lists is very onedimensional,<br />
often used as a binary list of who is and who<br />
isn't allowed to mint. Simpl3r believes this is a missed<br />
opportunity and has reimagined the access list process.<br />
With Simpl3r, teams can create a multi-layered approach<br />
with lists being used as part of a sales funnel. Each list has<br />
a separate list of requirements and is designed to keep the<br />
community engaged throughout the campaign. Doing it this<br />
way will allow teams to incentivize continued engagement<br />
and gauge the community's level of interest in the project.<br />
Sales Funnel<br />
Our Sales Funnel feature is built right into the Simpl3r<br />
Sales Hub, allowing sales teams to visualize the customer<br />
journey through their access lists. It also houses metrics<br />
that can identify optimization opportunities such as<br />
conversion, drop-off, engagement and activity rates.<br />
Collaboration Center<br />
The Simpl3r collaboration center allows teams to easily<br />
track all collaborations in a streamlined, easy-to-use<br />
interface, significantly reducing the current manual<br />
handling of projects. Teams can set collab upgrades,<br />
custom tasks, and rewards and incentivize collaboration<br />
managers with a customizable commission structure that<br />
is results driven. Our collaboration center saves teams<br />
hundreds of hours of manual, repetitive tasks.<br />
Community Managers gain access to tools that significantly<br />
streamline the collaboration process. Community members<br />
can be invited to a collaborating project by simply sharing<br />
a link with them. The Simpl3r platform assures that<br />
members complete the required tasks set by the project<br />
identify commonalities and potential growth opportunities.<br />
Additionally our on-chain insights allow teams to easily identify<br />
if their marketing is attracting the right people or if they need to<br />
course correct. At the moment teams are only able to identify this<br />
on the day of their mint. Our aim is to empower marketing teams<br />
to know this week’s in advance.<br />
Campaign Planner<br />
Our Marketing Hub houses the Campaign planner. The campaign<br />
planner allows teams to build out their pre and post mint<br />
campaigns so they are automated and delivered across Twitter,<br />
Discord and the Simpl3r platform days, weeks or months in<br />
advance. This allows projects to focus on the important things.<br />
Marketing Links<br />
Projects can create links which can be used on different marketing<br />
channels such as social media platforms to track engagement.<br />
This will result in an increase in data insights, which can be<br />
used to scale successful initiatives and stop those that aren’t<br />
working. This will have a significant impact on budget and effective<br />
marketing spend as teams can track their Return On Ad Spend<br />
(ROAS) which is something that is currently hard to measure.<br />
Pixels<br />
It’s easy to install pixels on your projects landing page using<br />
Simpl3r. Simply add in the code to the pixels page within the<br />
marketing hub. Currently Simpl3r supports Google Analytics, with<br />
additional support being added for Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter.<br />
Affiliate Program<br />
Simpl3r provides teams with the ability to utilize an affiliate<br />
program. Once enabled this will allow a project's community<br />
members to earn rewards by referring new members to the<br />
project. The Affiliate Center provides a complete dashboard of all<br />
affiliates, referral list breakdowns and projected sales revenue<br />
based on live data.<br />
With the Simpl3r affiliate program, projects no longer need to<br />
pay up front to gain exposure, which may not lead to bringing<br />
before granting them access to their Whitelist, no longer<br />
requiring the manager to follow up on members manually.<br />
Similar to affiliates, purchases made by users brought in<br />
through a collaboration can earn a commission, creating a<br />
new revenue stream for DAO treasuries or alpha callers.<br />
Marketing Hub<br />
Marketing is a key element to the success of any company,<br />
especially web3. Simpl3r Marketing Hub is designed to<br />
help you easily manage your marketing and create viral<br />
community engagement. Create and deploy automated<br />
content plans, gamified loyalty programs, affiliate referrals<br />
in minutes with our powerful platform.<br />
Marketing Overview<br />
The Simpl3r marketing overview screen provides<br />
actionable insights into the community helping teams<br />
in new community members. Through Simpl3r, affiliates of the<br />
project can market it to their communities and be rewarded with a<br />
commission on every successful sale.<br />
Engagement Hub<br />
Engagement Overview<br />
Our Engagement Overview screen allows teams to get detailed<br />
information about the levels of engagement they are getting<br />
across multiple platforms such as Discord and Twitter. Heat maps<br />
give teams actionable information into busy and quiet periods so<br />
that they can quickly identify times that are lacking engagement<br />
and peak times where they can capitalize on more active<br />
engagement.<br />
Bounties<br />
Simpl3r makes it simple to set up engagement tasks and offer<br />
rewards for completing them, these are known as bounties.<br />
Bounties can be created for Twitter, Discord and the Simpl3r<br />
platform and allow teams to reward community members with<br />
Discord server currency or Credits which is the rewards token
earned by staking a Bounty Hunter.<br />
Automation<br />
Set up your Bounties, Competitions, Raffles and more<br />
with our all-in-one bot. Instead of spending your valuable<br />
time keeping the community engaged by manually<br />
executing these tasks, our bot can run engagement tasks<br />
autonomously.<br />
You can schedule them in the campaign planner, or give<br />
the bot some freedom to start them whenever the server<br />
gets quiet to draw in more people again.<br />
Competitions<br />
Simpl3r currently supports two competition types, these<br />
are Raffles and Leaderbords. Both utilize the same<br />
method for setting the prize pool allowing teams to<br />
quickly and easily set up prizes ahead of time and have<br />
the Simpl3r platform execute the entire competition from<br />
launch to completion, automatically rewarding the winners<br />
without the need of the team to ensure the prizes are<br />
issued correctly.<br />
Rewards and Offers<br />
This feature allows teams to set up digital and physical<br />
rewards and offers that the community can purchase<br />
using in server currency, Credit tokens, or cryptocurrency.<br />
Simpl3r makes it easy to set up platform specific rewards<br />
such as access list upgrades, discord roles, additional<br />
mint allocations and much more.<br />
Simpl3r and Data Analytics<br />
Currently, teams are blinded and operating on a Twitter<br />
following and Discord size basis, without the ability to<br />
identify if they're attracting the right people to their<br />
community. Our analytics team will determine if they are<br />
attracting the wrong people into their communities so that<br />
they can take action before it's too late.<br />
Teams attracting giveaway hunters with no intention of<br />
minting will be able to change their marketing strategy<br />
weeks ahead of their mint. Or teams attracting collectors<br />
that hold off on minting until the project is almost sold out<br />
will be able to create incentives to promote early mints.<br />
On-Chain Analytics<br />
Simpl3r uses advanced on-chain analytics to give sales<br />
and marketing teams unparalleled insights into their<br />
communities both pre and post-mint. Our analytics engine<br />
is designed to pull back the covers so that teams can see<br />
who they are dealing with.<br />
Using on-chain analytics, Simpl3r can give teams insights<br />
into data points such as average mint price paid, the<br />
mint price range, collector type, length of time held post<br />
mint, and more. This information can be used to curate<br />
the community allowing teams to make special offers<br />
to high-value community members that fall within their<br />
parameters. Additionally, this information can be used to<br />
set the mint date, collection size, and NFT price.<br />
Off-Chain Analytics<br />
Using web2 and web3 technology, Simpl3r enriches data<br />
with off-chain analytical information giving teams never<br />
before seen insights into valuable points of interest, such<br />
as common interests, websites, services, influencers and<br />
more. Enabling sales and marketing teams to understand<br />
their communities and marketing channels better.<br />
Commit Now, Pay Later<br />
When speaking to both web3 teams and collectors, we<br />
noticed a theme. Teams experienced increased anxiety<br />
around their mint date, unaware of whether they would<br />
sell any NFTs or tokens. Collectors experienced increased<br />
pressure around not knowing if they would be able to mint<br />
or if they would miss the mint altogether due to it being held at a<br />
time or date where they could not participate.<br />
Simpl3r is building a feature we call Commit Now, Pay Later. It<br />
allows teams to enable and incentives collectors to commit to<br />
a mint ahead of time. The collector retains control of the funds<br />
allocated to the mint and can cancel at any point before the mint,<br />
solving the problem for both the project teams and the collectors.

The_AO8<br />
To further elaborate on @0xCelon thread: Why I am quite certain that LCD Lab doesn’t own 1000 physical copies of<br />
#banksy’s box sets. Disclosure 1: this is not fud of the project (I think it’s probable it will do well), just fact-checking.<br />
@0xCelon<br />
to go one step further, this collection is now named Banksy Radar Rats. It’s a guarantee that Banksy has no idea this is<br />
happening and would never approve this trash. very disappointed @MagicEden. twitter.com/0xCelon/status…<br />
Disclosure 2: I really don’t like the project because it’s clearly plagiarism. Founded on someone else art. Without disclosing<br />
this. On the contrary, through the name and the art style the project owners want to induce people to think there is<br />
some connection with Banksy.
But if “de gustibus non disputandum est”, false statements<br />
are a different thing. So, why I think they don’t<br />
have the amount of art pieces they claim.<br />
Let’s start from the number of box set released. The<br />
final number is unknown, but LCD labs states (and then<br />
reported by online articles) that there may be up to 6000<br />
copies. It’s a huge number also for an edition. Especially<br />
from Banksy.<br />
What about proofs that LCD owns 1000 copies... They did not<br />
show the complete amount of pieces (which is difficult indeed)<br />
and, more recently, a video with 100 pieces (supposed<br />
to be authentic).<br />
I own a box set, purchased in Bethlem in 2018 (half of<br />
the selling period) and as you can see the serial progressive<br />
number is between 1000-1100<br />
Additionally, showing proofs of the real value of a box set,<br />
they presented sales data of 1 of the most important and<br />
used irl art dealer over last year, implicitly admitting that it’s<br />
not possible to purchase such an amount of pieces...
@LCDLabNFT<br />
And that’s it, feel free to have a look at our public spreadsheet. (Public) Banksy Walled Off Box Set Price List https://docs.<br />
google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zXDBg4TUSnJp7jzAMab864Nagw9DSzm4UFdQTKJ_Xpk/edit?usp=sharing…<br />
Maybe they have purchased them through other channels. Possible/probable. But not on ebay (where many box sets are<br />
sold), as they clearly state.<br />
So, I jumped in their discord, asking for more information. Again, vague answers. No proofs.
And....drumroll....<br />
This is his answer.<br />
Ok, but they have a certificate of authenticity. As you<br />
can see the signature of the expert is just a copy&pasta.<br />
So, I asked him directly.<br />
Summary<br />
1) Is the project legit? I'm not in the right position to<br />
answer properly.<br />
2) Do they own 1000 copies as claimed? Probably not.<br />
3) Will this influence the conduction of the project? Not<br />
necessarily, but I think that people should know the<br />
truth.
PROBABLY<br />

ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR NFT PROJECTS This list is<br />
from my experience working for NFT teams for<br />
almost year.<br />
Most of these will be based around Discord and<br />
Community Management as that is my expertise<br />
GENERAL BOTS VERIFICATION TOOLS WL MANAGE-<br />
MENT HOLDER VERIFICATION TWITTER MANAGE-<br />
MENT MULTI SIG WALLET DAO MANAGEMENT The<br />
following explains why.<br />
GENERAL BOTS These are the ones that almost everyone<br />
has interacted with at some point and the<br />
staple of every discord server you have ever been<br />
in @mee6bot @DynoDiscord<br />
They are the jack of all trades and the bare minimum.<br />
It was used on @y00tsNFT discord up to mint If you think it isn’t<br />
good enough for your server think again.<br />
WL MANAGEMENT<br />
Gone are the days of verification channels and google sheets docs<br />
It just doesn’t look professional and prone to human error and<br />
cheating. This is important both pre and post mint. For allocating<br />
WL spots and collecting wallets to DAO giveaways,<br />
I won’t rattle off everything they can do because<br />
honestly the list is endless. But some of my favourite<br />
tools from it are<br />
Auto moderations<br />
Custom Discord Commands<br />
Leaderboards etc<br />
VERIFICATION TOOLS This is important to prevent<br />
your discord server getting flooded with bots. Now<br />
your general bots like stated above can handle this<br />
but the further we come along the more sophisticated<br />
bots become. My current favourite is @<br />
PandezLabs.<br />
Super simple to setup and ensures that all holders<br />
have Disabled DMs, Passed a captcha.<br />
My 2 favourites at the moment are @subberxyz @Bot_Head_NFT.<br />
Why deal with the stress when there are tools ready made for this<br />
kind of thing.<br />
HOLDER VERIFICATION<br />
This is important post mint but make sure you are prepared and<br />
ready to go the moment you launch. Because your investors want<br />
to feel special and be part of the community immediately.
Holder Verification tools gate off parts of your discord<br />
community to holders of the NFT. @MatricaLabs has<br />
the market share on Solana currently and I would<br />
highly recommend it. Proven safety and high-quality<br />
product.<br />
TWITTER MANAGEMENT<br />
NFTs are 24/7 so chances are you will need a 24/7 presence<br />
on the major social networks Discord and Twitter.<br />
This shouldn’t mean that you as the project team can<br />
no longer sleep. You need multiple team members that<br />
have access to the account.<br />
How can you do this without giving out all your team<br />
passwords if a member moves on from the project? @<br />
TweetDeck!<br />
It was acquired by @Twitter so you know it is legitimate<br />
for your organisation.<br />
MULTI SIG WALLET<br />
This one is overlooked but crucial for projects to have.<br />
A multi signature wallet means that for any transactions<br />
to be signed off multiple members need to sign<br />
the transaction for it to be valid.<br />
Why is this important?<br />
For a couple of reasons, It builds confidence in the<br />
team that the wallet holder won’t run off with their<br />
hard earned funds and resources It creates an added<br />
layer of security in case a single team members accounts<br />
are compromised.<br />
It allows a wallet holder to go on holidays without<br />
holding up the project from continuing. There are<br />
many multisig wallets but the one I have been most<br />
impressed with is @CashmereWallet.<br />
But of course, DYOR and pick what is right for you.<br />
DAO MANAGEMENT This may not be essential for every project<br />
but something to consider especially if you are allowing your<br />
community to take part in Project decisions Having a DAO management<br />
tool will keep voting transparent and fair.<br />
There are not a lot of tools for this currently but the best functional<br />
one in my mind is @Realms_DAOs. It is currently used by<br />
the premier DAOs on Solana such as @MonkeDAO @TheChimpions<br />
CHIAO @_ledao.<br />
If it works for them chances are it will work for you.<br />
This is just scratching the surface of the tools that can be used<br />
and I am sure I have missed many These are just the ones that I<br />
always recommend to those starting out or utilising in projects<br />
myself Would love to hear what you are using?

Dexterlab<br />
Sentries is an NFT collection of 8000 weird-looking creatures minted August 19, 2022. It was the second mint on the Bifrost<br />
launchpad.<br />
In case you’re unaware – Bifrost (Blocksmith Labs) team is very strict on choosing who can mint on Bifrost. If Sentries managed<br />
to get the launchpad, the project must be a real deal.<br />
The mint successfully collected 176.89k $FORGE (token of Blocksmith Labs ecosystem) and 7.65k SOL.<br />
Half of the royalties of a total 7% from each sale are allocated to the admin team and the other half goes to The Lode (more<br />
about it below).<br />
Okay! So, what are those Sentries all about?<br />
Sentries is a blockchain infrastructure company deploying Solana validators and RPC nodes. On Sentries official website, you<br />
can find three taglines:<br />
• Gamified SOL validator<br />
• Single-sided staking platform<br />
• Blockchain infrastructure as a service<br />
Let’s break them down in more detail.<br />
The Lode<br />
In short, the Lode is a Solana Validator. You can think of a validator as a “checker” that confirms transactions. Validators are<br />
required to stake Solana. In return, a staker can receive rewards earning approximately a 5% annualized reward rate.<br />
At Sentries, the validator, or The Lode, will act as one of the revenue sources and liquidity reserves for the rest of the Sentries<br />
ecosystem. 5k SOL from the Sentries mint went directly to the Lode. Also, as mentioned above, 3.5% royalties fees go to the<br />
Lode.<br />
Since the mint date, Sentries harvested 1820 SOL from royalties. So, the Lode’s stake from mint and royalties are 5900 SOL.<br />
The amount would bring ~300 SOL as rewards annually.<br />
But the funds allocated by the Sentries team aren’t everything that goes into the Lode. This is where we can mention the first
Sentries NFT holder benefit. If you hold a Sentry PFP NFT<br />
and a Lode Link (earned by HODLing), you can participate<br />
in 0% commission SOL staking. Public/non-holders<br />
are subject to a 7% commission rate.<br />
And The Lode is pretty popular, as the total stake of the<br />
validator is over 100k SOL at the time of writing. In fact,<br />
the Lode is #1 validator by the rankings of Marinade<br />
Finance. Not bad!<br />
The revenue from the B2B services will supplement the operational<br />
budget.<br />
Sentries holders can participate in the referral program, allowing<br />
them to earn rewards for referring B2B Services clients to Sentries,<br />
with bonuses depending on the number of Sentries held and their<br />
Power.<br />
Sentries NFTs<br />
As mentioned above, Sentries NFT holders will get discounted<br />
access to RPC nodes and B2B referral programs. There’s also a<br />
Flex-&-Earn incentive to use Sentries PHP on Twitter. Those who<br />
have a Sentries NFT as a profile image will earn additional rewards.<br />
Although so far, this wasn’t a strong incentive, as only 250 people<br />
are using Sentries as PFP.<br />
On top of that, holders also receive the revenue share from the Lode<br />
rewards, and they can even power up the rewards by delegating 5<br />
SOL in the Lode. There’s no limit to how much SOL you can delegate<br />
to the validator, but only 5 SOL per Sentrie staked will give the additional<br />
reward.<br />
Overall, The Lode rewards to holders boil down to a pro-rata 5%<br />
share of business gross profits, plus a pro-rata share of the 3% commission<br />
per Sentries NFT powered by 5 SOL stake.<br />
As per the current expected APY, revenue from the Lode<br />
stake would be ~65000 SOL. Portion of those rewards<br />
will be distributed to Sentries holders.<br />
RPC nodes<br />
Another component is RPC nodes. RPC, or Remote Procedure<br />
Call, allows users and applications to communicate<br />
with validator nodes. Think of it as the middle-man<br />
in your transaction or someone who translates your<br />
request for the blockchain.<br />
Sentries will use part of the mint funds to develop a<br />
permissionless, on-demand RPC Node access system. It<br />
will be available to the public at the default pricing, while<br />
Sentry holders will receive discounted access based on<br />
the number of Sentries held.<br />
Access to RPC nodes comes in handy for NFT investors<br />
who love snipping NFTs. The competition between snippers<br />
is also high, and a fast RPC node can give a huge<br />
advantage.<br />
B2B Services<br />
The next category is B2B Services. Sentries will provide<br />
validator and RPC node services to businesses. This is<br />
all about hardware, set-up, maintenance, support, and<br />
UI UX.<br />
At certain thresholds, Sentry holders will also unlock additional<br />
perks, including visual upgrades.<br />
Final thoughts<br />
When the primary holder’s benefit relies on a passive income, the<br />
amount of that passive income will define the NFT collection appreciation<br />
in value. At this point, it is hard to predict how much revenue<br />
the business will generate. But whatever the revenue, we must keep<br />
in mind that the revenue share will be divided by 8888. Calculating<br />
the rewards holders receive from Lode stake by today’s APY would<br />
bring less than 1 SOL yearly per one Sentries NFT without power-ups.<br />
So, holding one or a couple of Sentries might not bring life-changing<br />
money, but if you have a larger bag, after some time, you might accumulate<br />
a worthwhile amount of SOL, especially if the Sentries will<br />
keep growing as a business bringing more and more revenue.<br />
A lot depends on the team and how they will manage to grow the<br />
business. And the team looks decent. It was doxxed by Bifrost and<br />
Alpha Labs.<br />
The team has people with expertise in law, B2B marketing, business<br />
scaling, crypto, Solana RPC node operators, community engagement,<br />
tokenomics experts, internet infrastructure, cloud services,<br />
and more.<br />
The weakest point is art. It looks like a cheap Fiverr artist made it,<br />
the character is not something large audiences would identify with,<br />
has no facial expressions making it harder to relate to. Regardless,<br />
utility projects don’t need high-end art, but nice-looking PFPs always<br />
help. Hopefully, the art upgrades will bring something fresh to the<br />
table.<br />
Nothing in this article is financial advice! Always do your research!

@Solanauts<br />
Today is the one orbit anniversary of our mint date on the #Solana blockchain. It has been quite the ride through space<br />
navigating this unchartered territory. We have some EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE!<br />
We need to re-engage our community and bring in new members to the community. We are EXTREMELY confident that<br />
our @SolanautStables and our positions in @heavenland_io, @decentraland and @TheSuitesNFT will bring significant<br />
awareness and access to the best projects!<br />
OUR FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT!<br />
We love our art. We love our Nauts. They are clean, crisp, bright and vibrant! But the market wants MOAR DETAIL,<br />
MOAR POP, ELITE ART. So, we are partnering with amazing comic book artist @kyleP_Art to elevate the Naut collection!<br />
GENERATION 2 NAUTS<br />
They will be separate tokens from our OG collection, and our 500 OG holders will receive a 1:1 airdrop for the new<br />
nauts! New traits, moar detail, moar space, we are PUMPED to respond to the market. Here is a teaser of a prototype<br />
silhouette we are working on!<br />
WHAT ELSE THO??<br />
We are also PUMPED to announce that our Gen 1 Solanauts will be STAKABLE under the @heavenland_io
anner so our Naut holders will earn the $HTO native currency as part of our continued partnership!<br />
In 2weeks time! Get ready!<br />
BUT WHAT ELSE???<br />
We have a collection of 7,778 @SolanAnons that continue to trade, even at extremely approachable prices. We are updating<br />
the metadata to put the royalties into our Solanaut quarterly revolution rewards pot! The Gen 2 Nauts WILL ALSO<br />
DO THE SAME!<br />
But WUT ELSEEEE!???<br />
We have our first collection of music NFTs collaborating with some top talent in the industry. We are looking forward to<br />
showcasing these to their and our communities! Moar details in Q4! 3D Art by @pegi_sol<br />
We have stables covered, metaverses covered, music, art upgrades coming, staking for a robust ecosystem native token,<br />
additional streams of SOL into our revolution rewards pot. Our community wanted more; we are delivering for them!<br />

@TheStonedFrogs<br />
The Ascension<br />
As a team we have always been transparent with our community in every move we make, and we have always over-delivered<br />
to bring value to our community. TSF is our full-time job, our second family, and our goal first and foremost is to<br />
keep on building.<br />
We are entering an exciting and important phase in our project, and this will start with The Ascension. We have been<br />
working on this for the past 2 months, sharing different arts with our community. We couldn’t have made it without<br />
input from each one of them.<br />
Ascension is a symbol of growth and evolution, and this was the best way to introduce the next phase of our Roadmap.<br />
Four Elements (Water, Air, Fire, and Earth) will be introduced to our collection as the first stage with more than 1,610<br />
Traits!<br />
Not only that, but our holders will also have the ability to toggle between all of them. They can at any given moment
toggle their frog between all 4 elements and bring it back to its initial form in case they missed their old frog. Want<br />
more?<br />
To Ascend you will need two NFTs, one of them will be ascended and the other will be sacrificed. But Froggos are hard<br />
to kill, all sacrificed Frogs will return, and holders will be able to resurrect their frogs and get them back in a completely<br />
new form!<br />
Imagine being able to have 7 different NFTs in one, this is what the ascension will bring. 7 Different PFPs can be used.<br />
When we do things we do things differently, we want to introduce new metas and not just follow blindly other metas.<br />
This concept will enable us to create an incredible line of NFT art with more traits than most other collections. Our<br />
promise is to ensure that Ascending your frogs will be a fun, seamless, and engaging process for all.<br />
What you will need:<br />
Mechanism:<br />
⁃ 2x Stoned Frogs.<br />
⁃ 2x Pixelated Frogs.<br />
⁃ Around 1,250 $seeds<br />
⁃ Burn/sacrifice 2 pixelated frogs.<br />
⁃ Pay $seeds to Ascend ONE of the two Stoned Frogs.<br />
⁃ The higher rarity Stoned Frog of the two will Ascend into 1 of the 4 elements.<br />
You can toggle between the 5 total PFPS including the 4 elements and the original frog The lower rarity Frog will be sacrificed<br />
therefore locked for a certain period (resurrection at a later date) The resurrected frog will come back in a different<br />
form to toggle through.<br />
Why Ascend your Frogs:<br />
⁃ Higher emissions of seeds through our gamified staking.<br />
⁃ Early access to our exciting multiplayer online battle arena P2E P2C game<br />
⁃ Free skins in the game<br />
⁃ Brand new pfps<br />
⁃ More benefits will be announced soon!<br />
Save The Date: October 14th!
