The creativity in the world of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) is now being taken to a whole new level with the crop of new projects coming into the space, one of which is The Presidents NFT.
The Presidents NFT is a collection featuring 20,000 portraits of 50 influential leaders in world history. The collection showcases the physical traits of these leaders, bolstered with additional characters with the help of AI algorithms.
The Presidents’ collection includes state leaders, as well as heavy hitters from cryptocurrency and blockchain-enabled organizations, such as Binance, Ethereum, and TRON. The Presidents NFT has a minting price of 0.3 BNB (approximately $161) and the collection has gained massive traction since it was launched as more than 19,000 of the total supply have been minted by the community thus far.
There are eight categories of leaders to choose from: World, World Legends, USA, USA Legends, Soviet, Crypto, Secrets, and an individual avatar of Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of the protocol used in blockchains. Once all 20,000 Presidents are minted, the project will reveal the identities of the two secret avatars.
Drawing on the interest generated since its inception, it is no doubt that the remaining unminted NFTs will sell out in no time, paving the way for the next phase of The Presidents’ ecosystem growth. This growth has been identified by the team behind the NFT project to include its play-to-earn game featuring each of the characters in the collection.
A Peek into The Presidents NFT Game
The proposed game which is based on the P2E model is called the “War of Morale” and will be unveiled as soon as the NFT minting is over. To take part in the game, users create teams of “allies,” each headed by at least three NFT Presidents, a design effected to help foster the spirit of collaboration amongst players. Two users can play together if they have similar Morale levels, which range from 100 to Unlimited. Players win battles by draining their opponents’ Morale and making sure their own Presidents’ Morale stats stay up.
Participating in the game gives owners of The President NFTs a good chance to be involved in the management and operations of the project. While being able to earn the project’s governance tokens, the owners of The President NFTs will be able to feature prominently in the proposed metaverse that the team is building.
The project was developed by Alena Fares, an artist who says he draws inspiration from people, most of which were embodied in The Presidents project. While he has an extensive profile creating portraits, Alena acknowledged that the collaboration with AI made The Presidents NFT a more unique project he’s ever embarked on.
“I created 50 main portraits of state leaders and crypto pioneers. AI helped us make the project the biggest collection of the global leaders in the world, 20,000 avatars. AI algorithms enriched my images with “traits” or special features, such as zombie eyes, bandanas, and leather jackets. Seeing my work transformed by AI was fun,” he said drawing on an interview excerpt shared with Coinspeaker.
The Presidents is billed to herald a rewarding ecosystem where holders of the NFT will receive a total cashback of up to 600 altogether, making it more beneficial for all participants alike.
