Behind Genesis GOATs: Exploring the Genesis of Our NFT Collection

On 13th August 2024, 3,333 Genesis GOAT NFTs were revealed to the world, solidifying the transformation of our legacy NFT collections to a powerful new one, representing a new era in our studio and Web3 gaming brand, GOAT Gaming.

Why Genesis GOATs?

The Genesis GOATs symbolize the creative birth of GOAT Gaming.

"Genesis" establishes them as the foundational ecosystem NFTs, while "GOAT" stands for "Greatest Of All Time."

GOATs epitomize achievement, excellence, and ambition. GOAT Gaming turns every player into a legend, encouraging greatness in every match and creating an ecosystem where the best gamers in the arena can shine, compete, and be rewarded.

The Birth of Genesis GOATs: Conceptualizing Our NFT Collection

The Genesis GOATs collection was born from a blend of creativity, strategy, and an intrinsic love for both gaming and anime. We're inspired by the iconic GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) symbol, using horns to represent excellence and achievement.

But why the 80s/90s anime vibe?

Our team is a mix of kids from the 80s, GenZs, and everything in-between. The one common thread among us? A deep-seated passion for gaming and anime. Our conversations with the community and observations of the games, animes, and movies we all connected with revealed a clear gap: clean, nostalgic anime PFPs. A new, iconic collection was long overdue.

We infused our designs with retro 80s and 90s references, leaning heavily into our own gaming DNA. Our goal was to create PFPs that were not just eye-catching but would become the identity layer of GOAT Gaming. We aimed to craft a collection that celebrates the community's pursuit of greatness in every game.

The result? A collection that is both visually striking and emblematic of the GOAT Gaming ethos, celebrating the community’s relentless pursuit of excellence.

What’s Your Faction?

Genesis GOATs features four factions. Each with their own goals, dynamics, and visual traits that define their identity and role in their respective areas of influence.

Popstars aspire to dominate all things entertainment while challenging the status quo on beauty. They can be identified by traits like boomboxes, Walkmans, and pink hair⁠.

The Hackerman is a tech-savvy faction ruling the BYTE Borough, where old-world computer parts and cutting-edge cyber tech coexist.

Otakus occupy the Drifter's End and are characterized by their love for retro pop culture and items like Tamagotchis.⁠

Who’s the boss?! The Bossman faction rules the business and financial district of Plutus' Heights, operating with a facade of legitimacy while wielding unseen power.

Rarity

The Horn Gears

Each GOAT faction is distinguished by its unique set of Horn Gears—an iconic symbol deeply tied to their identity. These gears aren’t just accessories; they represent the core values of each group.

But in this universe, not all Horn Gears are created equal. The rarest ones are reserved for the elite, shimmering with attention-grabbing brilliance. These coveted pieces are a true mark of prestige, making those who wear them stand out in the GOATs world.

The Shiny Ones

All GOATs are GOATed. That said, there are three legendary categories that take rarity to a whole new level in this collection:

The Obsidians: The rarest and most enigmatic of all, these GOATs are sleek, modern, and brimming with hidden powers.

The Golden: A collection wouldn’t be complete without these enlightened beings, representing those who’ve ascended to the highest ranks within the GOATs universe.

The Holograms: Echoes from the earliest GOATs, these timeless, immortal entities exist as holographic memories, preserving the essence of those who came before.
