There will be 99 claimable NFTs for the Genesis holders and 30 new NFTs which will be minted at 0.69 ETH for allow listed wallets only. Keep reading for a long-form update and some sneak peeks of the amazing art (Coffee continuing to kill it). Apply for an allow list spot here.What are the Crypties?The Crypties is a tight knit group of 99 (thoon 129) members who are active and share alfa within both the DeFi and NFT industries. The biggest complaint of the group to date has been the fact they can’t keep up with everything that is shared! We think this is a good problem to have. I wrote this on December 11, 2021 when we announced the genesis collection and it still remains true:The mission of The Crypt is to form a small community of like-minded individuals who are self-aware and possess a growth mindset. Although there are tangible benefits to holding these NFTs, the best takeaways will be the lasting relationships built within this small, tight-knit community.UpdatesDudemyguy Joins the Team!I could write a paragraph here to explain how stoked we all are that Dude has decided to join the team and help take the Crypties to the next level, but I’d rather let him do the talking. This is a post he shared within our closed Discord:Crypties! Waddup fam, I have some exciting news. I mean, at least I'm excited about it. I've been bullish on Crypties since the start. My journey here began as a simple discord server admin, and I received Cryptie #14 for my contributions. The more time I've spent here with everyone the more bullish I've become. My engagement has continued to grow as this is easily my favorite place to hangout in crypto. We've already seen tons of value (alfa) simply shared amongst all of us degens, not to mention the opportunities coming our way (Battlefly, Flair, Year of the Women). I feel confident that Crypties will be a mainstay in the space; I think our potential for continued success is huge.Really happy to have Dude on the team.Project Giveaways & AMAsWe started outreaching privately to promising projects pre-launch with the intent to have them join our discord server to present via AMAs or (for NFTs mostly) we have negotiated allow list giveaways. So far, we have had the likes of the following projects come in and do an AMA or provide allow list spots (non-exhaustive list):MURI (NFT)CITADEL (P2E)AETHER CITY / SOLARIS (NFT)BATTLEFLY (NFT / GAME)PROJECT E - ELYSIUM (NFT)AKUMA (NFT)AND OTHERS…We will continue to network in the space to bring more promising project founders in to present their plans. Exciting times!Cryptie LoreI am very pleased to announce the engagement of Gerben Grave. Gerben has a tonne of experience in Narrative Design and has worked on successful exploration/puzzle games and card games. You can read more about Gerben here: https://multiverse-narratives.com/about-me/. In the near term, you will see a section of this Discord setup for lore creation where fortnightly chapters will be released. Our Genesis holders who engage in this process will play an important role in shaping and defining the legend and story of this project. Why lore? Well, apart from the fact that the Crypties art is insane and deserves a story befitting of its quality, we are establishing a brand. There is no shortage of ambitious ideas for The Crypt and what we are doing now is laying the foundation with 1) a strong community that grows sustainably over time and 2) adding meaning to our NFTs (lore) that can be leveraged over time and used in things like games and manga.Olympus Odyssey PartnershipTwo days ago we announced our partnership with Olympus Odyssey. At the soft launch of Odyssey, we will be releasing a bonus collection of 550 NFTs. This is about giving back to the Crypties and Ohmies. We’re looking forward to continuing to build a relationship with Odyssey as they attempt to change the NFT game for the better.Metaverse IntegrationWe are actively working on integrating the Crypties into the metaverse over time. The goal is to pick strong projects and align ourselves and integrate in them. At current we own a Large Apartment in the Worldwide Webb 3 project and are working on integrating our genesis NFTs as avatars. Stay tuned as we search out more solid interoperable metaverse projects!Sneak PeeksMale GoblinFemale Troll1/1 CustomWen?Minting will start this week.
