The project was born out of a desire to create a meeting point between digital art and the physical world, combining Moonbirds' extraordinary art and creativity with the global presence and reach of a major retail chain.

Project Details:

1. Physical Products Inspired by Moonbirds Art:
- Creation of an exclusive line of physical products (e.g., toys, art prints, merchandise) that visually represent Moonbirds' artwork.
- Each physical product will have an associated QR code, which will be the bridge to the digital art.

2. Exclusive Digital Platform: 
- Development of an interactive digital platform for product owners.
- Once the QR code is scanned, users will be taken to a digital environment where they can register, view, and interact with the digital artwork associated with the physical product.
- The digital art will be verified and stored on the blockchain, ensuring authenticity and ownership.

3. Education and Expansion: 
- Organizing events, workshops, and seminars in stores and online to educate the public about digital art, NFT, and the potential of blockchain.
- Introducing a wider audience to the world of NFTs and digital art through this fusion of art and commerce.

4. Integrated Marketing Strategy: 
- Joint advertising campaigns, social media presence, and promotional events to showcase the collaboration and attract the attention of both art enthusiasts and general consumers.
- Use of experiential marketing techniques, similar to those adopted by Pudgy Penguins, to engage and retain a wider audience.


5. Feedback and Evolution:
- Creating feedback channels within the digital platform to allow Moonbirds owners and new users to share ideas, suggestions, and feedback, ensuring that the project evolves in an organic, community-driven way.

Through this initiative, Moonbirds not only offers tangible and amplified value to its owners, but also creates a new paradigm in the way digital art is perceived and valued in the physical world.

Moonbirds, in partnership with a large global retail chain, will launch exclusive gadgets with QR codes that offer access to a unique digital experience. This initiative aims to connect the physical and digital worlds, promoting Moonbirds' brand awareness outside the crypto context. Through a clear roadmap, the project aims to create value for both Moonbirds NFT owners and new users.

In any project, especially those involving new technologies and the interaction between physical and digital worlds, there are several potential risks. The real challenge will be to find partners who will accept this collaboration, my team and I have direct contacts with influential people within GDO such as 7Eleven, Esselunga and other giants, if any other member of the community has contacts they are always welcome because we know how important networking is in the business world. Once we find the right partner we will have no problems with either distribution or production of the gadgets.

Hi! I'm Gian Matteo, an owner of Moonbirds and it's not just a title for me, but a passion. Ever since I discovered blockchain and web3, I knew I wanted to do something great in this space. This love of digital led me to found Blockchain Leaks, along with another industry enthusiast. Our goal? To guide both individuals and companies through this fascinating world, showing them the power of blockchain and helping those already in the industry reach new horizons.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to forge several partnerships. One of the most significant is with Meterium, a giant with a strong presence in Asia but with branches around the world. With their specialization in creating tokenized marketplaces and immersive digital experiences, I knew they were the perfect partner. And the interesting thing? These markets are powered by TOKO, coming from the world's largest law firm, DLA Piper. Yes, you got that right! With Meterium, we are combining the strength and security of strict regulatory compliance with the magic of future technology solutions.


And there is more. Meterium's solutions are based on the Hedera network, a high-end network with extraordinary management and vision. And, if you're wondering about Hedera's Global Leadership Council, well, it includes some of the world's largest companies, such as Google, IBM, and Boeing, to name a few.

We have an extraordinary team of more than 20 professionals, all united by the same passion for Web3.

All expenses will be borne by the partners who cooperate with us in exchange for the use of our IP.


Possible Sources of Revenue:

1. Sale of Gadgets: The main source of revenue will be the sale of gadgets at physical and online outlets. We will pay a percentage for IP usage to each Holder based on the number of gadgets printed with their NFT. Each gadget is accompanied by an NFT so the number of gadgets produced is transparent and certified.

2. Collaborations and Sponsorships: Partnerships with other companies or brands that may wish to associate with the project, offering funding or resources in exchange for visibility or other benefits. A percentage will be recognized to the community earmarked for various community activities and giveaways.

3. On-Chain Transactions: Small royalties could be taken from NFT-related transactions or interactions within the virtual world.

4. Outside Investment: If the project shows significant potential, it could attract outside investors or venture capital interested in funding further expansion or development phases.

Importantly, revenue realization depends on the success of the project and market acceptance, and there are no guarantees of profit but it is certainly a project that will increase brand awareness and perception.

Real immediate utility for the holders and the brand, 3D avatars unlock content creation and digital identity to a whole new level beyond what 2D PFPs can. The whole IP will get a push forward with the ability to do so many things that weren't possible before. The holders will be able to use their avatars in more ways they ever could with the original 2D.

Assessing the Moonbirds collection, its complexity, number of avatars and number of traits, we’re confident we can produce it in 8 to 10 weeks. Our way of approaching these developments is always divided in these stages: get a couple of full avatars produced to verify aesthetics and feel, produce every single trait in 3D separately, assembly into the trait combinations of the collection, quality assurance and delivery/distribution. For collections that have upgradeable contracts we can offer support to update the metadata to include the new avatars, for collections where it’s not possible we still offer onboarding them into the VIPE platform so that holders can access their avatars. Since Moonbirds is cc0, we’d provide free access to them.

We want to develop optimized and rigged 3D avatars in the VRM format (we can do FBX and GLB too) for all 10,000 Moonbirds, so that they can be used for anything from gaming and metaverse to content creation, vtubing and video calls. This would unlock so many content possibilities for the Moonbirds, using an interoperable avatar format and leveraging all the available platforms supporting it already, allowing for seamless transition from one to the other, bringing the digital identity of the Moonbirds everywhere. The VRM format is supported by most vtubing applications, many content creation applications and many metaverse platforms, you can find applications that support VRM on https://vrm.dev/en/vrm/vrm_applications.html and https://vipe.io/utilities. One of our avatar development teams, experienced with delivering 3D avatars for 2D PFPs will complete this project. An immediate integration that would be done as the Moonbirds 3D avatars are delivered is integrating with Nifty Island, an amazing web3 game where you’ll be able to play with your custom Moonbird avatar.

3D avatars of each of the 10,000 Moonbirds according to their traits, in the VRM file format to enable the holders and the brand to make content like never before. The 3D avatars will be optimized for web-based applications and fully rigged. Some ways to use them will be: videocalls, gaming, metaverse, vtubing and content creation in general.

If anything, it’s mainly about helping people understand all the different things having 3D avatars unlocks for a community. Immediately you upgrade from having the utility of using it as a profile picture to being able to use it in so many metaverse and gaming platforms, use it as yourself for vtubing and videocalls or making content in general with it. So making people aware of the possibilities is key, and the risk is not communicating this properly. For that, in our platform we try to make available as much knowledge as possible around the possibilities of 3D optimized+rigged avatars. We count with plenty of resources to help everyone realise the new things they'll be able to do with their avatars.

We’re the teams at Polygonal Mind (https://www.polygonalmind.com/) and VIPE (https://vipe.io/). We’re a creative studio. We’ve been developing virtual worlds and avatars since 2015. We started getting into what is now called “metaverse” in 2018 with VRChat and Decentraland and since then we’ve delivered more than 200 projects for brands and companies in more than 15 different platforms, from web3-native ones like The Sandbox, OnCyber, Spatial or Hyperfy to web2 platforms like Roblox, Zepeto, Fortnite or VRChat. On the avatar development side, when we were doing avatars for individuals for VRChat in 2018 and 2019 we realized that combining 3d avatars and NFTs made a lot of sense to be able to verify things like who created an avatar or who is the actual owner of it. We started CryptoAvatars, a marketplace and minting tools for 3D avatars as NFTs, and in Sept 2020 we created the first 3D avatar collection in Ethereum, also called CryptoAvatars. Along the way we’ve delivered the 3D avatar version for each of the tokens of multiple 2D PFP projects like Broadside, Avastars, Omnimorphs or Bookers while also developing our own projects like VIPE Heroes. We started using the VRM format back in 2019 and have an in-house team in our offices with high expertise on developing full collections and assembling them together. We’re also the only non-Japanese member of the VRM Consortium, the org developing and promoting this standard that is widely used, see CryptoAvatars in the member list.

3D Avatars of all the Moonbirds

This would pay for the team involved in producing and delivering the 3D avatars. We’ll assign one of our character art teams, a rigger, an animator and a 3D programmer to the project. This is all in-house on-site. This is an experienced team that has done this type of delivery many times before, our internal processes are already created so we don’t need to figure out how to make the 10,000 avatars, we’ll simply do it. Additionally, if the community is interested, we’d like to make proposals for the Moonbirds: Mythics and also produce custom Moonbirds guides on their 3D avatars. The budget is pretty tight for the team that will be involved but we really want to see the 10k Moonbirds come to life as 3D avatars and unlock a million new possibilities.

We all get rewarded and the value of Moonbird goes up.

You need to plan ahead for the listing of your Talon coin.

Hello, I am Sangwoo, the owner of Moonbird NFT.
First of all, congratulations on the completion of the SEC investigation.

I am contacting you because I have an inquiry about Moonbird NFT's Talon coin.
It is written on the website that Talon coin will not be launched until there is some change from the SEC.
However, with the start of the Trump administration, the pro-cryptocurrency policy continue

I won't spend my money. You will spend your money on the exchange.

In order to actually benefit holders and stock the Talons Marketplace, the team should transfer all Lunar Society funds and claw back any distributed funds (where possible) that haven't produced a product or utility.

It will position Proof as a key vehicle for supporting art on a side of the world that is underrepresented (and underexplored) in this moment of time: Latin America.

Every human being is a web3 artist. This project is a vehicle towards making that a reality, through the practical exploration of an awe-inspiring contest that will bring the eyes of all a continent into what we are doing here.

The ankyverse works in 96 days cycles that are followed by a 21 period of rest. As I write these words, we are on wink (day) 45 of the second sojourn (cycle).

The idea is to launch the project at the beginning of a sojourn (hopefully the third, which starts at the end of march), so that artists can work on their pieces throughout the whole third sojourn. At the end of it, we will have the expositions in every one of these 8 cities, all at the same time.

If we are not able to make it in this time frame, the project will be delayed to the next sojourn (mid year).

Everything that happens through this brand is in resonance with the calendar of the ankyverse, and this is itself an invitation for the people that interact with this idea to reflect on our cyclical nature (as nature is an integral part of us).

The team i'll assemble is the 8 project leaders in each one of these cities, and they will be in charge of spreading the voice in their respective countries. 

Everything aligned by a common "way of talking to the world", that will make this project a cross-latin-american event that will capture the eyes of all people.

The ankyverse consists of 8 kingdoms that align our human nature with the lore of this story.

The idea is to choose 8 key cities in latin america that will represent that country and run a contest on which artists of all sorts will have to create their own interpretation (and manifestation) of Anky.

If you go through the images of the Anky Genesis NFT collection, you will get a grasp on how "an anky looks": https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OBDQ08r8pLN4nfNf-48j87wzUEmF-ox4?usp=sharing

The idea is to give artists the invitation to interpret Anky on their own style, and have the consequences of this be a celebration. Of the roots that we have in our ancient cultures. On how that expresses in our modern hyper-tech world.

The invitation is to explore:

Where can we learn from the traditions that our ancient cultures bring to our modern life?

How can the exploration of the unknown be a vehicle for that?

What is the role that god plays in the unfolding of the human spirit through art?

What is the role that latin america will play in the evolution of humanity happening through blockchain technologies?

There will be a person that will be in charge of organizing everything locally, and from the 6k USD assigned to each country, there will be three prizes:

2k USD for the winner
1k USD for the runner up
500 USD for the third place

The rest of the funds assigned to each city will be used to pay the person that will organize that specific event. These funds will be the seed, because that person will need to find key partners (that are aligned with the ethos of Anky and this specific implementation of our core values) in order to run a local event on which to showcase the art for a weekend.

It is all an excuse to showcase our relationship with god.

Anky is just an excuse to talk about god (and our relationship to that energy) without the labels of religion. 

Art is the perfect vehicle for this, and "Anky · Raíces de la Tierra" is just a celebration of that.

A cross-latin american art contest (in 8 different cities) that blend the iconography of Anky through the lens and interpretation of the local artists of that place.

We are looking for interpretations of Anky through the lens of that specific place in the world.

Aztecs, Incas, Mapuches, Mayans and all our roots collide into this project.

We are looking for interpretations of Anky through the lens of that specific place in the world. Aztecs, Incas, Mapuches, Mayans and all our roots collide into this project.

The design of the contest tends to catalyze collaboration and community, and i deeply believe that that is, inherently, a strong vehicle for minimizing risks. It is not about the money, it is about the energy that is moving through the relationship that we have to it.

The prizes for the art are just an excuse for people to explore their art.

That being said, it would be a bummer if:

a) Not enough artists participate
b) I am not able to find the proper people to represent the project in each city
c) No sponsors for every one of them
d) The quality of the art submitted sucks
e) People not understanding what Anky is

Each one of these mitigated by:

a) A clear and straightforward mechanism for people to apply and understand what this is about. Low barrier to entry.
b) Working with artists in order to find who are the people that they respect. This being an entry point to finding who to work with.
c) Making everything low-cost and community driven so that a big budget for the actual gallery event is not necessary. The focus is on the art, and the process of the different artists.
d) This will sort itself out as the process for creating it lasts for 96 days and people will share their work in social media, which will get more people inspired by creating their piece to submit.
e) Strong clarity in order for me to clearly explain what "an anky" is, and which are the guidelines that determines if something "is an anky" or not. I believe there are no boundaries to this, though.

Because there is a fire inside me that wants to be brought into life through initiatives like this. That bring our communities together. That represent us under an umbrella that doesn't differentiate between black and white, but that just pushed the human spirit through the power of creativity.

I have walked that path, building Anky step by step. Moment by moment. Sharpening the idea, bringing more clarity into what this idea wants to turn into.

I have the clarity. I have the strength. And i have the voice. I can talk about the underlying energy that gives birth to Anky (and that will inspire the artists to create their pieces) all day long, because i've walked the path of self inquiry myself.

All of my life is devoted to the quest of truth, and this is just a necessary consequence of that. The fire is just too hot, and i promise you that i will make something that will make an impact if you trust in me. 

An impact in the live's of the artists that will participate.
An impact in the life of their communities.
An impact in web3 as a whole by bringing new eyes into what is happening here.

And an impact that we all have with ourselves. It is all an excuse to sharpen that pencil, inside each one of us.

I have built everything that entails this project on my own, and this is how i raise my hand and say:

I NEED HELP.

I'm the right person to bring this idea to life because i am humble. And i know when to ask for help.

And here i am... Chopping wood and carrying water.



Because there is a fire inside me that wants to be brought into life through initiatives like this. That bring our communities together. That represent us under an umbrella that doesn't differentiate between black and white, but that just pushed the human spirit through the power of creativity. I have walked that path, building Anky step by step. Moment by moment. Sharpening the idea, bringing more clarity into what this idea wants to turn into. I have the clarity. I have the strength. And i have the voice. I can talk about the underlying energy that gives birth to Anky (and that will inspire the artists to create their pieces) all day long, because i've walked the path of self inquiry myself. All of my life is devoted to the quest of truth, and this is just a necessary consequence of that. The fire is just too hot, and i promise you that i will make something that will make an impact if you trust in me. An impact in the live's of the artists that will participate. An impact in the life of their communities. An impact in web3 as a whole by bringing new eyes into what is happening here. And an impact that we all have with ourselves. It is all an excuse to sharpen that pencil, inside each one of us. I have built everything that entails this project on my own, and this is how i raise my hand and say: I NEED HELP. I'm the right person to bring this idea to life because i am humble. And i know when to ask for help. And here i am... Chopping wood and carrying water.

I'm asking for 48k. This means 6k for each venue. The most important expense from this will be for the prizes (3.5k) and paying the person that will be in charge of the event for their participation (1.8k).

The idea is to incentivize each one of these persons to get their local community going on this, and hopefully to get funding to create an event that will be awesome. It is encouraged for people to look for ideas on how to generate those connections.

I am a programmer and i can do all of the web3 related stuff (creating custom smart contracts for this, creating the platform where to submit the art, etc), and part of the rest of the money will be used for these purposes.

A cross-latin american art contest (in 8 different cities) that blend the iconography of Anky, its lore, and its intention with the culture of that specific place in the world.

Aztecs, Incas, Mapuches, Mayans and all our roots collide into this project, bringing eyes to digital art and ownership from this corner of the world.
