As a quick explainer (in case you’ve spent your quarantine on tiktok and facebook) NFT’s are cryptographically protected digital collectibles, secured by blockchain technology. Or in simple terms, digital assets you can easily prove authenticity and ownership of.
Grow Your Base is a web platform that not only makes it easy and fun to learn about new NFT projects, they also reward you with GYB points, which can be used to buy NFT’s from the projects that have active campaigns on the platform; like game assets, digital art, and even tokenized real estate and fine wines.
As an enthusiastic NFT collector, I’ve personally been visiting GYB on a near-daily basis to discover new projects, earn some more GYB points and use them to continue expanding my digital asset portfolio. As an example, without GYB, I likely would’ve been far later (if ever) in learning about a collectible card game, Dark Country (which I’m incredibly excited for). By completing simple tasks like watching an informative YouTube video about the project, or simply retweeting things, I’ve already earned 2 Dark Country card packs, and am close to having enough points to redeem a third.
For those who may be more investment driven, you have the potential to earn things like luxury wine, fractional ownership of commercial real estate, and even a financial stake in Space-X. Yes, Space-X, Elon Musk’s space program that very recently performed the first manned space launch from American soil in nearly a decade.
All of these mentioned features, as well as a recent collaboration with Sweeps (a well known giveaway hosting platform) are, from a collector’s standpoint, quite innovative and very exciting. Moreso from an investment perspective; when considering the rapid exponential growth of the digital asset and crytocurrency economies.
What makes it even more enticing is the limitless potential of the NFT economy; with companies like Topps and Atari turning to blockchain and cryptocollectibles as the world becomes ever more digital.
Yet another interesting and exciting aspect of GYB is their partnership with Rocket NFTs, which allows you to use you digital assets as collateral to secure a loan. Considering that the NFT economy, and GYB itself are still in their infancy, the potential benefits are limited only by the speed of mainstream adoption of tokenized assets (which grows closer by the day.)
If you find yourself thinking “Learning about and collecting NFT’s is great, but I’m trying to create an NFT platform myself”, then I have some pretty great news for you too. As an independent artist who works primarily with tokenized digital art, I reached out to the team at GYB, and after a brief discussion, was able to create my own promotional campaign. By joining my discord, following my Twitter, and completing a couple of other simple tasks, anyone using the GYB platform can earn points toward buying some of my digital art; an exclusive piece created for the GYB community. Having my work displayed on their website has been incredibly beneficial, and I would highly recommend other artists and digital creators to reach out about creating their own campaigns as well. Everyone on the GYB team I’ve communicated with have been easy to approach and very friendly; in fact, the team has reached out to me on a couple of occasions simply to share positive feedback they had seen about the artwork for my campaign.
If all of these features aren’t yet enough to convince you, then maybe you should pay close attention to the launch and distribution of Nifty Pass membership NFT’s. As a Nifty Pass HODL’er, your status on the site is upgraded; airdropping an allocation of new and exciting NFT’s into your GYB wallet each and every month. The estimated value of one year of drops is approximately 500 USD, but, considering the incredibly rapid growth of the NFT space, that number is likely to steadily head toward the moon.
YOU WANT MOAR NFT’S?? Don’t worry, there’s even a membership level above Nifty Pass, known as the Whale Pass, which entitles Whale Pass members to double the monthly NFT’s of the Nifty Pass, exclusive earnable campaign rewards, and even a personal NFT advisor to help you build and maintain you digital asset portfolio; plus as an added bonus, when referring your friends, your family, or even your frenemies to GYB, you earn credits toward your next NFT redempion; and if you refer someone who then gets a Nifty Pass or Whale Pass membership, you earn a commission on that sale.
In summary, if you like to collect NFTs, or even if you just like to learn about exciting things happening in and around the Metaverse, you should definitely visit Grow Your Base and start learning and earning to stack your digital asset portfolio; and if you’re creating something exciting, be it art, collectibles, game assets, or spaceships, give the team a shout and it’s likely they’ll welcome you with open arms and get your work seen by thousands of people in their community.
