Mocaverse: What is it? Key Features of the Mocaverse Platform
At present, NFT collections have become familiar to many, but in this article, I introduce a collection developed by the industry giant, Animoca Brands, aimed at enhancing and solidifying the company's Web3 ecosystem. That collection is Mocaverse.
What is Mocaverse?
Mocaverse is a collection of 8,888 NFTs in the form of profile pictures (PFPs) known as Mocas, developed by Animoca Brands. The project aims to connect members of the Animoca Brands ecosystem, including partners, investors, and project participants, into a robust community.
NFT Mocas represent 5 tribes (Dreamers, Builders, Angels, Connectors, and Neo-Capitalists) equivalent to 5 types of individuals in the Web3 world. Each tribe has unique abilities that synergize when combined, aligning with Animoca Brands' goal to create a Web3 world where unity drives collective goals.
The Mocaverse NFT collection was launched on March 6, 2023, on Ethereum, and ecosystem members of Animoca Brands could mint NFTs during a 24-hour window.
Key Features of the Project:
- Operational Mechanism
Mocaverse stands out as an NFT collection where holders of Mocas NFTs gain access to Animoca Brands' four Realms: Learn, Build, Play, and Do Good.
- Learn: Participate in AMAs and Masterclasses with industry leaders well-versed in Web3.
- Build: Engage in accelerator programs with access to resources tailored for Web3 developers.
- Play: Enjoy gaming experiences within the ecosystem and own exclusive in-game assets.
- Do Good: Contribute ideas for social activities.
Additionally, Mocas NFT holders enjoy benefits across Animoca Brands' ecosystem, including access to a portfolio of over 380 projects comprising blockchain games, esports, platforms, and marketplaces. They also get exclusive beta testing opportunities for new ecosystem games and products, along with discounts and incentives for using Animoca Brands' services.
Mocaverse aims to be a gathering place for people to collaborate, build, and develop through a large community engagement.
- How to Own NFTs
Mocaverse NFTs are initially available to Animoca Brands-related entities. Ordinary investors can purchase NFTs on marketplaces like OpenSea.
