The Cardanaires Launch Date Announcement

The Cardanaires Genesis NFT (non-fungible token) project introduces 5555 personalized assets, uniquely combining both artistic value and staking capability.

The Cardanaires edition is ideal for any art collector looking for something more than the traditional NFT art available via auction or whitelists on most major blockchains today. Instead, each artwork is packed full of utlity allowing the holder to earn varying farming rewards within the Tangent Protocol NFT farm (mainnet launch scheduled for Q1 2023).

The Power of The Cardanaires

The minting cost is priced at a competitive 190 ADA (approx. 60 USD). However each NFT has a different staking power within the NFT Farm, according to their individual rarity and edition (GOLD, SILVER or BRONZE), and the minting is randomly assigned to each user in a lucky draw format.

Below is an example of the possible rewards up for grab through holding a Hoskinson Genesis Edition with Gold being the rarest (0.09%).
Information regarding staking rewards for all NFTs within the collection can be viewed via the Cardanaires website.

Other possible benefits of purchasing these art pieces include the artistic value alone — with each piece being hand-drawn and taking in excess of 16 hours to create. Within each digital assets there are hidden riddles for the collector to decipher. Holding each NFT will allow the collector to access locked, private groups within Tangent Protocols Discord server and even an airdrop entitlement at a later date.

Art lovers and blockchain enthusiast will revel in curated artwork, which combines traditional elements with distinctive complexity and enigmas inspired by mathematics, eastern spirituality and the contribution of each Cardanaires within society.

Commenting on the launch of this unique project, Japan based bohemian artist Kwrtz said:

“The opportunity to create something that promotes empowerment through connection was really what sparked this journey”.

Together with Tangent Protocol he has created something that offers crypto investors returns beyond potential price appreciation but also access to exclusive events, farming rewards and whitelisting to future campaigns and NFT mints.

“We aspire that the Cardano community of users feel as excited about what has been created as we do; 2023 is going to be huge for Cardano as a whole and for us as we build out the Tangent Protocol and cement ourselves as one of the most creative, art inspired on chain projects” — Kwrtz added.

With each purchase, buyers will be issued NFTs from the Cardanaires Genesis collection containing artist value, staking capability and eligibility into an upcoming airdrop of tokens with use case within the Tangent Protocol.

“There will be no whitelist or early access mints available for the community, we want to keep things as open and fair as possible. We also want to be clear on where the money raised from the sale will go. 30% will go to our Artists, 30% to the continued development of the Tangent Protocol and 40% to the Tangent DAO. We shall use NMKRs split pay out system, showing which wallet are for which” explained Clint Alexander, CEO.

The DAO will be controlled by the NFT holders who will decided how the funds are allocated and utilized in the future via on-chain governance. The community will have the deciding vote via Tangent Protocol’s Twitter regarding the exact mint time closer to the launch. You can take part in this thoughtfully crafted artistic experiment by joining the public mint on the 3rd of February here.
