Ever since the boom of the Non-fungible tokens and the noticeable opportunities born from the Blockchain businesses, Netvariant has been working on integrating its operations to move simultaneously with this global trend. For Netvariant is a company with over 13 years of experience in Fintech and B2B software development, yet has decided to integrated the respective Blockchain department in 2019.
Before NFTs even started getting mainstreamed, the company was starting to consider the importance and opportunities Non-fungible tokens provide for a business and therefore decided in late 2021 to start its extensive decentralized deliberation to come up with the first Ants NFT project, The Ant Land (TAL).
Who’s behind The Ant Land?
The stakeholders of The Ant Land are: Rabih Abi Aad, Elie Bou Tayeh, Ragheed Abdel Khalek and Ayman Abi Abdallah, who combined a complete team of youthful artists with unconventional art styles, experienced developers in decentralization and a whole marketing team to properly target their audience.
What is The Ant Land about?
Ants concept
Simply put, the current collection, Antvasion, consists of 10,101 unique Ants NFTs marching their way into the Ethereum Blockchain. The concept of this project comes from the most collaborative, organized and just community: ants!
This is even majorly reflected in the core values of The Ant Land as they all call for equality, unity and inclusivity.
Art & Story
The art in TAL speaks for itself especially with the concise details and creativity in every single element. In addition, one could never ignore the personification in their story-board which categorizes the community into colonies.
Those communities reflect different personality traits:
- First, being Alpha with their strong and fierce character ruled by queen Emerson
- Second, being Lucent characterized by love and affection ruled by queen Aphrodite
- Third, with the balance of both; Aurora combining both colonies’ characters and ruled by queen Epitome.
These colonies are identified by the sign on the NFTs’ head, so anyone who mints should wait for the reveal to know which personality their NFT belongs to.
Roadmap & Long-term Vision
Not all NFTs have the proper utilities, but with The Ant Land there definitely are ones for the short and long run. Besides the fact that the rarity is sustained in every token as per all the unique elements, colonies and rare attributes; anyone who mints a queen out of the three is a winner as royals receive 6 NFTs that could be later exchanged in collection II for 0 cost.
Still, the most notable and promising utility in TAL is its original “shareholder’s plan” (SP). The concept of SP is built on the fact that one who invests is not only an investor, but also a partner in revenue, future investments and all coming successes. Once the NFTs are revealed, all tokens will get categorized according to the rarity of their elements. This rarity range will indicate how much percentage you own from The Ant Land according which level it belongs to.
One who mints a queen is of equal importance as the worker and thinker in The Ant Land. For although each has a specific percentage, no shares will be retrieved unless every owner holds both worker and thinker (NFTs with the lowest rarity). The owned shares will all add up, finally giving a good sum of the percentage share s/he/they have from TAL’s revenue. This not only encourages trade, but also impersonates the ant’s unity as ants cannot survive without one another. However, part of their revenue will be sent to various charities, which’s crucial especially amid the harsh circumstances Lebanon and the Arab region is passing through.
Alongside what was mentioned, there are future Metaverse plans for securing TAL’s headquarters in Decentraland. In fact, The Ant Land has also started its planning for collection II with high-end brands, indicating the continuity of this leading project.
Milestones
The Ant Land launched on January 29th on Instagram, Twitter and definitely Discord where they secured their OGs and started giving Whitelist opportunities successively. Throughout their organic growth, TAL has managed to provide their audience with handsome amount of giveaways of various types for their commitment and engagement.
They did not want to concentrate their content on their project only and so expanded their outreach through blogging on Medium and their own website where they discuss the latest NFT news and Blockchain concepts. This outreach continued as they were featured on BECKS | Nifty world podcast where they got constructive sentiment for their mission and gradual organic community growth.
Collaborations
Zeina Makki
All the way to Zeina Makki, TAL marked its affiliation with the first Arab artist to join the NFT universe as per all her featured talents and youthful audience. Zeina’s will to enter the Web 3.0 and Blockchain field marked its first steps with The Ant Land where she constructed the Z-colony consisting of 250 NFTs out of the 10,101. The colony will share her traits and march with her exclusively towards all her upcoming Blockchain plans.
ACT Magazine
Additionally, The Ant Land collaborated with See the ACT Creative Studios as they offer the right artistic execution for their art. Thereafter, they went straight to New York City and Paris where they spread posters all over these buzzy cities. This collab is also a preparation for the upcoming collection of TAL’s NFTs featuring well-reputable and high-end brands.
Summary
Building a successful NFT project is great, but defying the harsh multi-leveled circumstances while creating a product with such quality is a different level of success. The Ant Land not only calls for their constructive values and beliefs, but also assures the Arab youngsters to stay in their home country and supports their youthful talents! This keeps us with open eyes on their minting which’ll be gradually revealed in multiple phases, the first being on April 1st with 201 NFTs supply among them 20 from Z-colony and 1 exclusive queen. However, it will be open for all where any person is free to mint any amount of tokens s/he/they would like to have. First come, first served!
