The Noku platform keeps up with the news in the blockchain world and is preparing to launch an Ordinals collection called BEASTS.

About Ordinals

Ordinals is a protocol created by computer engineer Casey Rodarmor, who officially launched the program on Bitcoin’s mainnet on January 21st, allowing for the creation of NFTs.

Through this protocol, it is possible to create digital artifacts using blocks from the world’s most famous cryptocurrency.

There is a lot of hype surrounding Ordinals, as evidenced by the over $16 million raised by Yuga Labs for a 300-piece auction. 

Noku: the BEASTS collection

At the moment, not much has been revealed about the BEASTS collection, but the platform described them here as “a piece of digital art history.”

The artwork is certainly well-crafted and striking: the collection’s protagonists, dressed in elegant attire, appear to be wearing masks depicting beasts.

Could this be a reference to traditional finance, which is certainly not experiencing a quiet period?

Let’s stay tuned for more details, as we are certain that the Noku platform will provide us with more surprises as it has in the past!

The Noku platform is about to host the first Bitcoin Tournament through their first play-to-earn: Crypto Heroes.

Starting on 8 November there will be 14 different matches, two per week, in which all participants will try to predict the market trend to get as many points as possible.

The total prize pool for this big tournament will be over 1 BTC, the player who manages to score the highest will get 0.5 of the most popular cryptocurrency.

How to participate?

To play Crypto Heroes simply create an account here.

Once registered you will receive 20 initial NFTs to play the first matches and get familiar with the game dynamics.

To register for the Bitcoin Tournament you need to possess the Wildcard, an NFT from Nokuchain that will grant access to the tournament. 

You can obtain it through various raffles organized by the platform or through the purchase of certain packages.

How to play Crypto Heroes?

Crypto Heroes is the first play-to-earn play built on Noku’s blockchain: it is a trading card game related to the world of cryptocurrencies.

Thanks to the 20 NFTs received, it will be possible to participate in certain matches such as leagues and blitzes. For leagues, it is necessary to field 12 cards, including two of type A (Antagonist) while for blitzes only crypto-related cards are allowed, except for “short“, a very useful wild card in times when the market goes down.

Crypto Heroes NFTs are tied to one or more crypto assets with related multipliers; the setup of cards to be deployed must be chosen carefully since the scores depend on the real-time performance of the cryptocurrencies to which they are linked.

Noku, the Web3 platform that features NFTs, play-to-earn games, and soon the metaverse, has announced the pre-mint date of the PFP collection ‘Heroes: Genesis’ on 22 June 2022 at 1 PM Italian time. 

The pre-sale will take place on Nokuchain to allow users to receive the NFT in advance and unlock the new features immediately, before anyone else.

“PRE-MINT ANNOUNCEMENT

This is a great day: we have the official pre-mint date!

On 22/06 you’ll be able to mint our Heroes: Genesis.

They’ll unlock straight away:

• early access to our metaverse

Stay tuned for further details”.

As of 22 June 2022 at 1:00 PM Italian time, it will be possible to mint Heroes: Genesis on Nokuchain, and new owners will be able to unlock the following new features

• farming (staking the NFT to passively “farm” tokens and other NFTs);
• tournaments reserved for Heroes: Genesis owners with really interesting prize pools;
• early access to their metaverse, a play-to-earn environment with a VIP area reserved for owners of their NFTs. 

Users will be able to receive the NFT as a preview and unlock the new features now, before anyone else, without paying minting fees, and only bridge to and from ETH afterwards.

Heroes: Genesis is the first NFT Cross-Chain project with Gaming and Farming in place, developed with a Low-Fee-Minting technology. 

In fact, the architecture developed by Noku for the ERC 721-N allows metadata to be shared between different chains, while maintaining a set of data for each, thanks to the NPFS protocol. This prevents dissimilarity of data across different chains and in addition helps users save a lot of money in gas fees.

In general, Noku is a Web3 platform dedicated to the NFT world with its own blockchain, Nokuchain. 

With more than 70,000 users, the platform aims to offer an all-round service with play-to-earn games, an NFT marketplace, a metaverse about to be released, and many other new features to be added this year. 

NOKU tokens and the gaming industry

Noku also launched its native NOKU token in 2017, already with the NFT gaming protocol, with the goal of bringing social freedom and economic independence to as many people as possible through secure means of exchanging value. 

Thus was born the Nokuchain, a scalable EVM blockchain that improved the performance of classic NFTs for gaming. 

Noku’s first NFT game is Crypto Heroes (July 2021) and in this context, the NOKU token is the centre of the entire ecosystem, settling NFT purchases and game rewards.

At the time of writing, NOKU is worth $0.31, following a price drop since 13 June that follows the general trend of major crypto such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
