What is ICPi-Pi?

In this article, I will introduce the basic information of ICPi-Pi.

(Because the developer is Japanese, English may be a little strange. Cut me some slack 🥺.)

1. Collectible NFT.

ICPi-Pi is an NFT collection of 6,000(This is subject to change) cute girls avatars.

Each avatar has several attributes and the combination is unique.

And very cute !!

2. Launched on ICP.

ICPi-Pi will be launched on the ICP(Internet Computer Protocol).

The reason is simple: I'm excited about ICP!!

I would like to increase the number of users by encouraging ICP as much as possible through ICPi-Pi.

And I myself want to enjoy ICP more.

The first mint is a special format on my own page. (This is absolutely necessary so that it will not be illegal in Japan.)

Secondary distribution wants to use platforms such as entrepot.

However, I plan to build a dedicated platform in the future.

3. CC0

All ICPi-Pi illustration licenses are provided by CC0.

In other words, everyone can freely use illustrations to create something new, regardless of whether it is commercial or non-commercial.

Furthermore, it is possible to modify some or all of them for use.

It takes a long time to explain why I choose CC0, but simply because I think it's the first step into the world of Web3.

This will facilitate the growth and continuity of the ICPi-Pi, and I am confident that the ICPi-Pi will survive if I die.

That's very cool, isn't it? It's also a desirable form for holders and creators.

If you want to know more about the benefits of CC0, please refer to these article.

If everyone can use the illustrations, isn't there any benefit to getting an NFT? Yes, there are benefits.

  1. You can receive preferential treatment (discounts and whitelists) for ICPi-Pi derivative NFTs and other products planned by other artists in the future. (The roadmap will be published at a later date.)

  2. The more the illustrations are used, the higher the value of the original NFT will be.

  3. The ICPi-Pi's are so cute.

So please get it!

4. OSS

I will also publish the code for ICPi-Pi and make it available to everyone.

This is also the same reason as making it CC0.

I hope that this will make creating NFTs with ICP more accessible to engineers and artists.

I want to make as much code as possible into OSS, such as canisters, front end, image generating ,deploy, etc.

As a side note, I think that the code of the NFT canister will probably fork the Ext Standard by Toniq-Labs. ( This is also OSS. Thank you… )

5. About the name ICPi-Pi

This name has no deep meaning.

I dared to give it a meaningless name to match many derivative works.

If I’m forced to say, the sound is cute!

The explanation of ICPi-Pi is roughly like this.

In the future, I would like to continue to write articles about my thoughts on roadmaps and attributes.

Anyway, I would like to enjoy the ICP and Web3 world, with ICPi-Pi and you. (And I hope you enjoy my illustrations if you can.)

I don't think it's easy, but I'm gonna do it.

I truly thank you for your support!
