The general trend on the NFT market lately is the quest for NFTs that offer real consumer value; ones that will generate passive income for its holder and be backed by other assets or liquidity. This is what has given rise to projects like SIDUS: NFT Heroes, ones that prosper under the growing competition by giving its community multiple tools to generate profit, while all importantly enjoying NFT art.
Here’s a quick overview of the project and a breakdown of all the earning opportunities that contributed to the NFT Heroes collection selling out in 10 minutes.
NFT Heroes and the Team behind the Project
SIDUS: NFT Heroes is a collection of generative art consisting of 6,000 unique characters – NFT Heroes. The characters vary in their levels of rarity – Original, Rare, Legendary, Partnership and Exclusive. These categories predetermine the size of the rewards and other benefits that the holders get.
The project is based on blockchain and crypto philosophy. According to its lore, every Hero came to the independent city of SIDUS from one of 12 blockchain planets, seeking refuge from the intergalactic war. Years spent on their respective home planets has left an imprint on their appearance, character and armor. Besides blockchain references to celestial bodies like planets, holders will find over a thousand Easter Eggs that pay tribute to top crypto projects, for instance the logo of Alpha Homora or a PancakeSwap Bunny. The visual representation of the Heroes is one of the strongest aspects of the collection, having been developed by an enormous number of artists.
NFT Heroes is the biggest collaboration in the NFT space. The project was developed by two teams – NFT STARS and NFT256. NFT STARS is an Australian multi-chain NFT marketplace that launched in July 2021. The team is responsible for all technical issues associated with the collection’s launch and further development. NFT256 is the biggest international collective of modern artists working in a variety of art mediums, from digital to traditional. This fellowship unites more than 400 artists and is managed by the Lead VX Artist and NFT Programmer – Maxim Vavaev. By bringing in such a large number of artists, the NFT Heroes team has ensured that each character is truly unique. The collective of artists working on this project have created over 10,000 attributes and the final appearance of each Hero is shaped using an AI-powered random generator.
The Many Use Cases and Earning Opportunities NFT Heroes Presents
The most common scenario for interacting with NFT avatar projects is to speculate on the growing interest and price of a single avatar. Users join the presale or buy early and keep their NFTs idle until they rise in price. NFT Heroes guarantees users that they will be able to generate a profit and even double the money they spent on their purchase while keeping hold of their token.
In the SIDUS community, NFT holders can make use of one or all of the following features and services to double their investment:
- Each month, SIDUS redistributes 50% of the royalties obtained from all secondary market sales of the collection to owners of NFT Heroes, on the condition that they hold a minimum of 140 NFTS tokens or 2,900 MILK2 tokens in their wallet. These are the native tokens of the projects developed by the NFT STARS team. The more Heroes a user has, the more royalty payouts they can qualify for, if they comply with the terms.
- NFT Heroes can stake their NFT(s) and receive rewards in NFTS. SIDUS offers three tiers of staking: Original, Rare and Legendary. Users can farm NFTS tokens by locking their NFT(s). The APYs are lucrative and can cover the cost of their token(s) over the full staking round.
- The project plans to support a wrapped NFT feature. Users will be able to deposit other cryptocurrencies and NFTs into their Hero and accumulate liquidity.
Milestones Demonstrating NFT Heroes Viability and Success
The collection hit the market on August 30th 2021. All the available NFTs sold out in 10 minutes and demand for these Heroes for the presale exceeded the number of tokens issued for the sale. This marks the first development milestone in the project’s history and clearly demonstrates the market’s interest in NFT Heroes and in general, NFTs with real value.
Shortly after the launch of Original NFT Heroes, the team released upgrade cards and a Galaxy Modificator. A specific aspect of the collection is that only the Original and Exclusive Heroes will ever be sold as primary market sales, the rest are generated by the users themselves, with the help of special upgrade cards. Just like the Heroes themselves, the Rare and Legendary upgrade cards were in high demand within the community. With their upgraded Heroes, users were treated to new features, poses, backgrounds and parameters. Most importantly, the rarity status of modified Heroes’ ascends much higher.
Another huge success for the project was the auctioning of its Exclusive NFT Heroes. These are characters that resemble prominent figures in the tech and crypto industries and are in fact fan-art creations that pay tribute to individuals who have made significant advancements in their respective spheres. Exclusive Heroes are likewise inscribed into the history of SIDUS city, having played an important role in establishing its society.
SIDUS auctioned Unicrypt NFT Hero, Dogecoin NFT Hero, Ethereum NFT Hero, SpaceX NFT Hero and Binance NFT Hero. The SpaceX NFT Hero was sold for 61.241 ETH.
In the future, SIDUS plans to expand its ecosystem into the world of gaming and launch its own multiplayer RPG game based on the collection’s lore and characters. The game will provide NFTs that come with additional utility and only holders of NFT Heroes will be permitted access to the new gaming metaverse.
A variety of features and services have been created to directly affect a positive price change for any NFT in the NFT Heroes collection. Each NFT Hero is as valuable as its holder makes it. Royalties, staking and other services minimize the NFT’s dependency on the market to derive its value, while providing tools with which users can generate incomeThe future of NFT avatar projects is one in which NFTs are no longer assets that are beholden to speculation.
