The reason we are late to release them is technical difficulties due to the way we created our SC. When launching #ClubGorgon back in February, fairness of minting events and #NFTs distribution was a hot topic. ⬇️
Our aim was to launch as transparent as possible. We looked into different ways of making our mint fair. This was the case, especially because the club spared 300 #Medusa#ElrondNFTs for its treasury.
We wanted to show that everyone, including our team gets their membership #Medusa generated as provably random as possible. We chose to mix #NFT number sequences for picking images on mint & so, we can’t predict the next # number while minting event is ongoing.
This isn’t possible even with the collection metadata .json file - and so, at least we can be proud to say & show everyone that we have a truly fair minting event with no exceptions. The other solution we considered at the time was @chainlink VRF.
Thank you everyone for believing in us and never bringing up questions about fairness and transparency!❤️ Hopefully this inconvenience with release of rarities proves, that you made a good decision trusting in us.🐍
Our team decided to do the best we can and launch a live analytics stats & dynamic rarity rankings webpage, which will automatically update based on every new mint until the whole collection is minted. This is the current solution that we have.
And if you still didn’t join our Members Only #Phygital#Art Club, mint one of unique 6666 #Medusa, club membership #ElrondNFTs & join our amazing community in Discord!❤️
Some info regarding our members only monthly airdrop.. Many people asked the meaning behind the cities we included to @thaisakanne collection. #ElrondCommunity ⬇️
Thaís named her #Medusa themed #NFT#artwork characters as Hydra, Eva, Adelina, Asmodeus, Apophis and Hera. ⬇️
And we had our unique sounds, given to us by our friend Roberto Filippi Jr. from musical duo based in Germany, @scoutsom (ScoutsOm.de) ⬇️
Thais is a Brazilian #artist based in #SaoPaulo. She has drawn inspiration from her fascination with the #supernatural, #cinema & language and how those create connections & brings people together. She specialises in expressing the #female form as a #protagonist. ⬇️
Thais Akanne spent weeks working on unique 6 #Medusa themed #ElrondNFTs and named them Hera, Eva, Hydra, Asmodeus, Adelina and Apophis. ⬇️
We are privileged to be in a position where not only our project is based on the most advanced #Blockchain, but as a #ClubGorgon, we are merging the worlds of physical & digital #Art.
Idea to onboard real life #artists to #ElrondNFTs, connecting them with #DigitalArt collectors through the projects contribution in creators economy & acting in the best interest of our members seems to be working well!
Besides our #Web3/tech goals, such as transitioning into a fully functional #Art#DAO on #ElrondNetwork & ambitious roadmap, we aim to embrace a meritocratic approach in decision making.
