First, **thanks** to everyone who minted (even the bots lol) and thanks to everyone who showed support and joined the army on secondary sales 🥷

I am trying here a **different approach** than the regular NFTs collections that are being released everyday, **I didn’t use any bullshit paid marketing** and I never will, even if it could have made me a pretty bag for sure, but I am not here for that, I didn’t even tried to shill the collection to the projects I am into because **I wanted to build this from scratch**, and I wanted to see if it was still possible, a pure free mint coming from nowhere.

**Nnja is a genesis collection**, this is only the first wave, future collections will be released to continu the narrative, with different styles, different volume _(low supply👀)_ and different artists, some really cool artists 👀

The army has been created to connect web3 nnjas together, it’s an army to fight the bear market, an army with nnjas that helps each other making money on degen mint and meme coin, an army that can trust each member of the community, **an army that is here during good times and bad times, an army to win, together.**

We can push this **as far as you want**, the whole project will depends on the army and their choice.

Tzu may lead the army, but **the army will always have his word**

The more `nnja` you own, **the more decision power** you will have, `70% of the collected royalties` will be placed in the `nnja vault`, **the decisions regarding those funds will have to be voted by the community**, anything can be done, _reward all holders_, _buy NFTs for giveaways_, _sweep a floor_, Tzu is here to help the army win.

`for total transparency note that the royalties are not enforced in the collection, nnjas have the choice to contribute or not to the army funds.`

Note also that owning multiples `nnja` will also **secure you a mint** _(or multiple mints)_ in the future collections, more details will come about that but **the more you own, the best you’ll be** 🥷
