A community-driven NFT framework is set to launch its services on March 18, 2021. The project aims to expand the current capabilities of the NFT marketplace by offering users access to building blocks for raffles, bounties, bingos, and other diverse utilities.
The project consists of two main parts; the Ether Cards platform and the Ether Cards tokens. The platform serves as a community-driven NFT framework that allows creators to maximize their NFT art or series’s value by expanding any NFT marketplace’s capability.
On the other hand, the token is an advanced membership card aimed to benefit community members who can access the platform’s features at a cheaper rate compared to other participants. Some of the card perks include receiving free services, discounts,VIP membership, and additional bonuses.
Overall these tokens can be used by members to engage with the community and participate in rewarding games. The membership cards will go on offer starting on the 18th of this month and will work on a first-come, first-served basis.
Ether Cards Platform
The Ether Cards platform offers the artist a set of tools and marketplaces which make their NFTs more engaging and valuable. Here, artists will set up ticket games, puzzles, and other NFT based single-player and competitive functions. Users can use functions to win NFTs or other valuable prizes. Additionally, they can participate in ticket games and use blind bags to gather collectibles before using them to complete various puzzles.
When it comes to tickets sales, an artist can set up one and sell their NFT tokens. Here they can mint a new NFT on ether.cards, or there is the option of using an NFT already minted by existing and recognized providers such as OpenSea, Mintbase, or Nifty Gateway. The ticket creator can set up parameters such as the number of tickets to be sold and the ticket price. Once all the tickets are sold or when the time is up, the Ether Cards platform will use a verified random number provider from ChainLink VRF to select a winner.
As for Puzzles, the artist can use their own collection of artwork to set up one. Then there are blind bags that represent sealed packs of cards, and the artist’s rules set the possibility of any cards appearing in them. As a buyer, you can access various bags with some cheaper but with a reduced chance of containing rare cards compared to the more expensive range. Once the bags are sold, the proceedings go to the creator, but after the setup fee has been subtracted.
Ether Cards Tokens
These tokens offer utility and can be integrated with several decentralized services. Some of the uses include serving as membership cards, offering user access to features, offering user privileges and priority access, accessing community airdrops, and collecting royalties for the user.
With the launch fast approaching, Ether Cards intends for it to be memorable. Therefore the project has come up with an innovative way that ensures the services on offer live up to the expectations. Some of the Ether Cards will boast features that won’t ever exist again after the first edition. Here the early birds will catch the worm. Like cryptocurrency pioneers, if you are lucky, you will be standing at the gates of the NFTs revolution.
The Ether Cards launch seems to be coming at the right time as the latest report by NonFungible, a Canadian-based analytics company, predicts the NFT market is set to explode in 2021. Even though the phenomenon has been around since 2018, it has remained obscure to the large crypto community. However, in the second half of 2020, the industry began to pick up steam, with sales increasing by over 200% to more than $9 million. This figure has increased almost sixfold over the past 24 hours with almost 60 million non-fungible tokens sold over the past day.
