Reveal: 15th May 10am (SGT) / 14th May 10pm (ET)

Mint Type — Deposit System

The Imaginary Rides will be minting through a Deposit-System.

This means minters do not get their NFTs immediately. A period of consolidation will happen before the NFTs are airdropped into owner’s wallets.

This allows us to meet one key objective: NO overallocation.

All partners and winners allocated a VIP allowlist WILL get their NFTs if they participate in the mint.

By having a consolidation period, we can have a waitlist category covering any VIPs who choose not to mint.

It reduces the risk of people joining the waitlist because they don’t get their NFTs last. This way, they’ll receive it en masse and the airdrop. Moreover, should people on the waitlist not get their spot, they will be refunded.

We will refund 0.15 ETH to people who joined the waitlist but did not get the NFT. The extra 0.02 ETH is to compensate for gas fees.

Allowlist Types

1. VIP allowlist

People in the VIP allowlist are guaranteed an NFT if they participate in the mint.

Pick a time suitable for you in the 24hrs when the mint is live and deposit ETH to secure your NFT.

All VIPs will also have the option to join in the waitlist. If any VIPs did not mint, you might get their slot instead. If you do not get the NFT, you will receive a refund.

2. FCFS allowlist

Participants of the Bubble Rider game will be added to the FCFS allowlist.

Each FCFS allowlist will only grant 1x Mint. The first 1000 minters in this category will be guaranteed 1x Imaginary Ride.

After the 1000th position, all subsequent minters will join the waitlist. If any VIPs did not mint, you might get their slot instead. If you do not get the slot, you will receive a refund.

Important Dates to Note

Mint Starts: 8th May 10am (SGT) / 7th May 10pm (ET)
Mint Ends: 9th May, 4am (SGT) / 9th May, 4am (ET)
Refunds: 11th May 10am (SGT) / 10th May 10pm (ET)

After refunds have been processed, minters can expect to receive their NFTs from 11th May 6pm (SGT) / 11th May 6am (SGT).

The official mint website will be announced on our official discord and twitter.

FAQs

1. How do I confirm that my wallet is in the VIP Allowlist or FCFS Allowlist?
   A wallet checker will be released after all wallets are confirmed. Watch out for the announcement for this on our Twitter/Discord.
2. How much ETH do I need to prepare?
   - Each mint is 0.13 ETH.
   - For FCFS Allowlist, you will only need to prepare 0.13 ETH + gas.
   - For VIPs, if you have more than 1 VIP slot or wish to join the waitlist, you can prepare accordingly.
   - ie. If you have 2 VIP slots, you can choose to join up to 4 mints that costs 0.52 ETH (2x VIP, 2x Waitlist) + gas.
3. Should I join the waitlist?
   - There’s nothing to lose from joining the waitlist. If you don’t get the NFT, we’ll refund you the full amount + an additional 0.02 eth to cover for your gas fees.
4. Will the public be able to join the Imaginary Rides mint?
   No. Only allowlisted people will be able to join the mint. This is one of our ways to spread the mint to interested people in our project instead of botters.
5. What if I am a prize winner from Bubble Rider?
   For prize winners, you will be airdropped your prizes (Imaginary Ones / Imaginary Rides) from 11th May 6pm (SGT) / 11th May 6am (ET). No further action is required from your end.

Imaginary Ones — Project Updates (Mar 2023)

Written by: Caleb Hoon (kbby | imaginary ones)

The presentation was done on Twitch by Gentlewhale (David) and Cmttat (Clement) on 1st March 2023. Watch the full video here.

TLDR:

• We shared our vision as a brand — To influence people to live the best version of themselves.
• The core product, a Health & Wellness super-app, helps us penetrate the Web2 audience.
• Imaginary Rides is ready to join the Imaginary Ones collection. It will be in our apps, games, and the Imaginary World ecosystem.
• Imaginary World is in good progress. We have working prototypes of the interface and mini-games.
• Multiple teams are working on different arms of the Imaginary Ones brand.
• Imaginary Ones will be a leading entertainment & wellness brand.

Renewing the Vision

At Imaginary Ones, we believe in living life to the fullest and spreading positivity wherever we go.

We encourage everyone to embrace their imagination and live their best life.

The Core Product

Our goal is to empower everyone to be Imaginary, and that’s where our Core Product comes in. This product is designed for web2 and web3 audiences and is meant to be used daily. We’re leveraging the strength of blockchain technology and the power of the community to market it together.

With enough adoption, we can turn users into loyal fans and paying customers who become part of our community. This allows us to improve the product and offer more rewards to our holders.

We’re excited to share an exclusive first look at our app, temporarily codenamed “Project iWalk.” It includes a step tracker, other wellness components, gamification, and social elements.

The Imaginary Rides

We’ve been teasing Imaginary Rides for a while and are thrilled to announce that they’re almost here — complete information to be released by March 2023.

We have 4 main goals for the rides:
1. Reward holders for being with us
2. Expand the reach of our ecosystem and allow more people to jump onboard the IO dream.
3. New gamified innovations.
4. New possibilities of partnerships

The collection will be fully animated with varying rarities. We have Rides in the Air, Land and Sea. Should you have one of each vehicle..?

Here are some things you should know.

• All holders staked with us until adventurer status will be entitled to an airdrop.
• Imaginary Rides is a larger collection than our genesis IO collection.
• We will be releasing a *mini-game* for the allowlist. Imaginary Rides will include partnership collaborations in the game.
• Partners will have their rewards and leaderboard to compete under their banner. We’re excited to see which community brings their A-game!

Tokens (TBA)

We will be introducing the Imaginary Ones tokens to support our Imaginary World ecosystem. Holders will be distributed tokens.

Imaginary World

Our long-term dream is to create a virtual world where all Imaginary Ones can unite, play, and learn.

The city and buildings are designed to be fun and charming, with creative and vibrant elements that mix different cultural references and fantasy. It’s like Disneyland but with an Imaginary Ones twist.

We have built the progress to create some high-quality gameplay demos.Please keep a lookout in our discord server for the latest updates and progress of the Imaginary World.

Summary

In conclusion, this gives you a good idea of what Imaginary Ones is about. We focus on bringing our marketing and business profits back to the Core Product, which is at the heart of everything we do.

With Imaginary Rides on the horizon, we’re confident we’ll be the leading entertainment and wellness brand.

Thank you for being so supportive of Imaginary Ones.
Bubble on! Bloop bloop!

Birth of Imaginary Ones
The Imaginary Ones represent the culmination of a vision that began back in 2021. Clement (Cmttat) recognized the profound impact that imagination and creativity could have on the world.

That’s why we set out to create something truly special: a collection of 8888 unique and vibrant Imaginary Ones characters.

These characters are more than just art, they are a spark of inspiration and positivity that ignites the hearts and minds of people everywhere. With their vibrant colors and bubbles, we want to ignite a movement, one that will inspire joy in every corner of the world.

The 11th of January 2022 will forever be remembered as a historic moment for the Imaginary Ones.

On that day, we shared the first compilation of our characters on Twitter, and the world took notice. With over 1.6 million views , it became clear that we were onto something special. The community’s love for these characters was overwhelming, with 24,000 new followers in just 24 hours.

It was at that moment that we knew we had a responsibility to take The Imaginary Ones to the next level.

We made the bold decision to go all-in on the Imaginary Ones and fully commit to delivering on our vision. That moment marked the beginning of an incredible journey and we are excited to take the world by storm, one Imaginary Ones character at a time.

Web3 Journey
The journey to creating and building a successful brand is never easy, but at Imaginary Ones, we believe that with the right values and a dedicated community, anything is possible.

From the very beginning, we knew that aligning our values with those of our community would be key to our success. So, we set out to assemble a team of dedicated individuals who shared our passion and vision for the brand.

Together, we embarked on a journey that can only be described as an extreme rollercoaster, filled with twists and turns, highs and lows, but through it all, we never wavered in our commitment to building something truly special.

As we navigated the uncharted waters of the Web3 space, we were grateful to have made many friends along the way, fellow builders who understood the unique challenges of this exciting and ever-evolving field. We knew that building a brand in this space would be tough, but the supportive nature of this community never ceased to amaze us. We realized that for all of us to succeed, we needed to help each other, and we are grateful to have this support.

And, as we continue to grow, we were honored to have our first meet-up with our IONs (Imaginary Ones Nation) family. It was a wonderful experience to see the real faces of people supporting our brand, and it was extremely fun. Our journey is far from over, but with the support of our community, we know that together, we will be able to achieve great things.

Featured In Public
Imaginary Ones represents a true leap forward in the world of creativity and imagination. That’s why we had been invited to showcase our characters on some of the world’s most prominent stages. One of these opportunities is a feature at the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre, which has one of the largest LED screens on the planet. This platform allowed us to share our vision with millions of people from all over the globe.

The feature on the Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre’s LED screen is a powerful testament to the impact and relevance of our Imaginary Ones characters. It was an opportunity for us to share our message of fun and creativity with a wide audience, and to inspire people everywhere to tap into their own imagination and unleash their full potential.

Imaginary Ones Merch
We also worked hard to launch the latest addition to the Imaginary Ones’ brand: stylish, limited-edition merchandise. This merchandise line is designed to allow you to represent the Imaginary Ones with pride and style wherever you go.

But it’s not just about fashion, it’s about creating a movement. We wanted to empower you to be a walking representation of imagination and creativity, to inspire others to tap into their own unique potential, and to join us on our journey to bring more light and positivity into the world.

With these items, we offer a tangible way to be part of something bigger than ourselves, to be a member of a community that believes in the power of imagination and creativity to change the world.

Staking Rewards
In August 2022, we launched our staking platform. Staking allows holders of IONs (Imaginary Ones) to earn exciting rewards and participate in a unique and engaging ecosystem experience.

This is just the beginning. We are committed to building Imaginary Ones into the biggest brand in the world, with the ultimate goal of giving back to our community in even more meaningful ways. By staking your IONs, you will not only be rewarded for your support and loyalty, but also be a part of building something extraordinary.

This is the future of brand engagement: an ecosystem where holders are not only rewarded for their loyalty but also play an active role in the brand’s growth and success. We believe that this approach is the key to building a truly sustainable and mutually beneficial brand-community relationship.

Imaginary Junior
Not long later, we launched our 1st ever subsidiary, Imaginary Junior. This subsidiary is dedicated to creating IP content that is specifically designed to entertain and educate children around the world.

Our goal is to build a brand that parents trust and children love, one that brings families together and inspires a lifelong love of learning and creativity. In 5 months, we had achieved over 3.6 million video views and 25,000+ subscribers on YouTube, we are off to an amazing start.

We want to bring a new level of innovation and creativity to the world of children’s entertainment, and build a brand that becomes a household name for families worldwide.

We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality and engaging content that is both entertaining and educational. With Imaginary Junior, we’re making that a reality.

HUGO x IO Launch
Looking back in October 2022, we can say with pride and humility that our partnership with global fashion leader HUGO was a defining moment in the history of Imaginary Ones. We were honored to be the first Asia-born NFT project to collaborate with an international fashion brand and to share HUGO’s values and commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable world.

The collaboration was a massive success, with the HUGO x IO merchandise and NFT selling out within minutes of launch. We also achieved significant press coverage and reached millions of people with our message of inclusivity and diversity. The partnership not only strengthened Imaginary Ones’ presence beyond the Web 3.0 space, but also reinforced our mission to make imagination and creativity accessible to everyone.

We look back on this partnership as a pivotal moment in our journey, where we were able to unite our vision and values with those of a global brand to make a meaningful impact in the world. It serves as a reminder that when we work together towards a common goal, we can create something truly visionary and transformative.

HUGO x IO Store Takeover
One of the highlights of our HUGO x IO collaboration was the launch of the physical store takeover at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore’s premier mall.

This unique experience allowed the public to fully immerse themselves in the magic of both HUGO and Imaginary Ones in the real world. It was an opportunity for our audiences to interact with our characters and discover the fun and creativity it stands for.

The store takeover was not only a shopping experience but also an interactive journey where visitors could see, feel and take home the essence of both brands’ personalities, spirits and values.

It was a momentous achievement for us to bring our digital characters to life in the physical world, and we are proud to have been able to create an experience that resonated so deeply with audiences.

Quest
As the year comes to a close, we unveiled our newest project, the Imaginary Ones Quest. This quest represents our brand’s focus on storytelling and our commitment to experimentation and innovation.

The Imaginary Ones quest is an ongoing, iterative project that invites our community, the IONs, to participate in a thrilling narrative adventure spanning multiple dimensions. As they progress through the quest, players will have the opportunity to mint special artifact NFTs, unlocking new levels of the story and deepening their connection to the brand and its characters.

But this quest is more than just a story, it’s an opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of digital experiences.

2023 Outlook
As we look ahead to the new year, we are filled with anticipation for the exciting developments and opportunities for Imaginary Ones.

Since the start of Imaginary Ones, we have been driven by a singular vision: to make our beloved characters a household name that people of all ages can fall in love with. As we look forward to the new year, we are more determined than ever to make this vision a reality.

Our goal for 2023 is to expand the reach of our brand across the web 3.0 space, making it easier than ever for people to discover and join the Imaginary Ones family.

We have some truly exciting initiatives planned that will help us to share our vision and accomplishments with a wider audience. We are also committed to increasing our engagement with our existing community and to providing them with more opportunities to take an active role in shaping the future of the brand. By working together and sharing our vision with the world, we can build an even stronger and more inclusive community around Imaginary Ones.

We understand that building innovative products using cutting-edge technologies comes with its own challenges and that the competition in this space is fierce, but we are confident in the strength of our brand and the passion of our community.

We also want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude to everyone in our community who has supported us thus far. You are the driving force behind our success, and we are honored to have you as a part of the Imaginary Ones family.

So, as we gear up for another year of imagination and innovation, we invite you to stay tuned for monthly updates and join us as we continue to bubble the world, one bubble at a time. This journey may not be without challenges, but with all of us together, we can surmount anything that comes our way.

In 2023, we envision a world full of Bubbles, bringing joy, one Bubble at a time.

Cheers to all the new exciting adventures ahead.

Global fashion brand HUGO announced today that it will collaborate with renowned Web 3.0 company, Imaginary Ones on a holistic, 360-degree metaverse experience. This partnership sees HUGO take a major step forward in its exploration of the metaverse, as the launch of its first-ever NFT collection marks another significant milestone in the global refresh of the brand in 2022.

An exclusive HUGO x Imaginary Ones NFT collection of 1,001 3D animations, entitled ‘Embrace Your Emotions’ (EYE), will be launched in early November. The aim of the collection is to encourage everyone to connect with their emotions, and to share a message that all feelings — positive and negative — are valid and should be embraced, as the freedom to feel and express can significantly improve mental health and overall well-being.

Of the 1,001 NFTs, six characters will contain special attributes. Five characters each represent one of our everyday emotions — joy, sadness, fear, anger, and love. The fun storyline of the collection will also benefit a charitable cause as, to mark World Mental Health Day on October 10, a special sixth character bringing together all five emotions will be auctioned, with 100% of the proceeds donated to Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM). This evidence-based mental health program invites young people aged 13 to 17 to learn about and explore the topic of mental health, and has been conducted with more than 85,000 teenagers across 16 countries.

An allowlist will provide access to the HUGO x Imaginary Ones EYE collection, and enable purchase of the NFTs. Of 1,000 allowlist spots in total, 500 will be allocated to customers who purchase an exclusive phygital T-shirt. There are 500 limited-edition T-shirts for sale, and each will contain a QR code where users will be directed to a Snapchat Lens to create a special augmented reality effect.

The remaining 500 allowlist spots will be distributed to existing holders of the Imaginary Ones’ genesis NFT collection, and through a myriad of activities on Imaginary Ones’ Twitter and Discord platforms from October 4 onwards.

Miah Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing & Brand Communications at HUGO BOSS, said: “The metaverse is an exciting new space for fashion brands, one that is rich with potential for HUGO. We are excited to partner with Imaginary Ones to deliver an NFT collection of beautiful 3D assets that enables us not only to further explore this virtual world, but also to share a message of self-acceptance and being true to yourself, which is at the heart of what HUGO stands for”.

Clement Chia, Co-Founder of Imaginary Ones, said: “Imaginary Ones is humbled and honored to partner with HUGO and to be the first Asia-born NFT project to collaborate with an international fashion brand. We share the HUGO’s values and commitment to contributing to an inclusive and equitable world. With this partnership, we aspire to strengthen Imaginary Ones’ presence beyond the Web 3.0 space and further our cause in embracing inclusivity and diversity everywhere”.

In addition to receiving a “golden ticket” for a 10% discount in the HUGO online store, all holders of a HUGO x Imaginary Ones NFT will have access to Imaginary Ones’ staking ecosystem, which grants the holder a separate set of special HUGO x IO merchandise, experiences, and content, including digital HUGO wearables and HUGO-themed Imaginary Ones drops.

Going forward, HUGO and Imaginary Ones will explore various ways to continue strengthening this partnership and provide further value to holders of the collection, including exclusive experiences in the metaverse. This is just the first of a line-up of projects to bring HUGO’s brand experience together with the creativity and positivity of Imaginary Ones.

About Imaginary Ones:

Imaginary Ones is an NFT collection comprising 8,888 fully animated and 3D characters on the Ethereum network. Founded by Singaporeans Clement Chia and David Lee, Imaginary Ones believes in using art to spread love, positivity and creativity. Alongside three other partners — Gregory Poon, Caleb Hoon and Jerome Kwek, the team launched one of the most successful global NFT projects thus far, selling out the entire collection within 6 minutes of the Dutch Auction sale. To date, more than 12,000 Ethereum (~$20,000,000 USD) of sales volume have been transacted on OpenSea.

From 1st August 2022 at 8pm SGT, holders of Imaginary Ones will be able to stake their IO NFTs through the official website: https://world.imaginaryones.com.

Staking removes the IO NFT temporarily from your ETH wallet and locks it in a smart contract. Holders can choose to retrieve the NFT back to their wallet (unstake) at any time.

The primary reason for staking is that it allows us a way to share rewards and profits with our holders. As we venture into more collaborations and partnerships, holders can expect to receive a wide variety of staking rewards.

How to stake my IOs (Step-by-step guide)

1. Using a desktop, head to https://world.imaginaryones.com. Make triple checks to ensure that you are on the right website.
2. Connect the wallet that you kept your IOs in.
3. Choose IOs that you wish to stake.

4. Confirmation is required.

After selecting the IOs that you want to stake, you’ll see a confirmation prompt. After clicking confirm, you will be presented with two signature prompts from your wallet.

The first one will ask for “approval for all” tokens that belong under the Imaginary Ones NFT contract. This gives the staking contract permission to move your IOs from your wallet. You will only need to approve this once.

The second one is for staking, this will move the chosen IOs out of your wallet into the contract and temporarily keep them there.

5. You can reap the benefits of staking by redeeming rewards so long as you keep your IOs staked.

6. Unstake to move the IO back into your wallet at any moment you like.

Staking Rank Structure

Your IOs will rank up over time, this is the current rank structure-

Wanderer: < 30 days staked
Adventurer: 30–89 days staked
Expeditionist: 90–179 days staked
Navigator: 180–269 days staked
Seasoned Explorer: 270–364 days staked
Multiversal Voyager: > 365 days staked

The longer you stake, the more chances you get, with better rewards.

Do remember to claim special items when they come. They will be helpful in the future 🤔.

Staking Rewards

For the launch, we have some rewards lined up for stakers.

• Giveaways — A lottery chance to win ETH or popular NFTs that are in the market
• Whitelists — All subsequent whitelists gained through collaborations will be for stakers only.
• Claims — Goodies that will be available for all stakers. Claim them all!

As more collaborations, partnerships, and profits come in, holders can expect a wider variety of staking rewards to drop. It is our commitment to provide value this way to our supporters continuously.

Other things to do when Staking

Once staking has stabilized in the first month, we’ll roll out the other components of the ecosystem.

• Quests (Work in progress) — Send your IOs out on quests to find goodies.
• Inventory (Work in progress) — Manage your loot. 🔥 them or throw them away. Your inventory, your rules.
• Achievement Badges (Work in progress) — Achievements can be earned through specific tasks that can give you certain boosts.

FAQs

Wen staking?
Staking will be available on 1st August 2022, SGT 8pm. It can be accessed through a desktop at https://world.imaginaryones.com.

Will higher rarities have better rewards?
No. There will not be better rewards across the board regardless of which IO you hold. However, legendary IO holders will have higher chances for reward redemptions.

What happens to my discord role?
For now, there will be no change to the roles inside discord. Although you’ve sent your IOs out from your wallet to the contract for staking, it will still be detected as yours, and you will still retain your “Holder” role.

Will I lose my rank if I were to un-stake my IO?
Yes, you’ll lose all progress made, and your rank will drop to ‘Wanderer’. By doing so, we wish to reward the true holders who choose to stake their IOs with us. Remember, we are in this for the long run!

The team will share a routine monthly update every first Wednesday of the month on the progress of the Imaginary Ones’ project.

The recording was done on Youtube by Gentlewhale (David), who explains the progress in detail with slides. Watch the full video here.

Hiring

We have been growing quickly and now have 27 members on our team. With the additional workforce, things move forward at an accelerated pace. There are still positions on the team, do check them out here if you are interested.

Market Conditions

The cryptocurrency and NFT market has lost its momentum and turned bearish. However, regardless of market conditions, we would like to assure all stakeholders that the team continues to work towards our goals.

It is noteworthy that companies built some of the top crypto projects like SOL and ADA in the previous bear cycle. We feel upbeat and are hard at work to bring more content and value to our holders.

The Long-term Goal

In the long-term, we aim to integrate all builds towards “The Imaginary World,” an ecosystem that will allow stakeholders to learn, grow, and find value while also being entertained. We will achieve this in 3 main prongs:

Brand building — where we intend to expand our reach both in the web 2.0 and web 3.0 space to develop our brand’s voice further.

Adding Value — to our holders has always been something we are very passionate about and committed to in providing resources and tools for success in the space. The onboarding of our market analyst is one such implementation.

Being fun and magical — we wish to deliver small joys to our holders through entertainment, surprises, and memorable experiences.

Staking IOs

Holders of Imaginary Ones will soon be able to stake their IOs and send them to “expeditions”. The dashboard will show the number of days you staked it, and the longer you stake your IO, the higher your levels will be — unlocking more benefits and rewards over time.

During staking, you can participate in quests. There come in varying difficulties, as well as quests for solo and group. Earn limited edition rewards and achievement badges for each of your successes.

In terms of rewards, the current list of considerations include raffles for NFTs and allowlists, IRL discounts, access passes, merchandise, masterclasses, and access to future collections, tools, and coins.

Imaginary Rides

Imaginary Rides (vroom vroom!) are zooming along. Our rides will play an important role in the ecosystem and we can’t wait to bring them to you!

For now, enjoy the sneak peeks!

We have secured our first IRL Partnership with Suntec Singapore, which sports the largest high-definition LED wall. For the whole month of June, Imaginary Ones will be screened on the large display in Suntec Singapore.

We are currently in talks with other brands and hope to share good news next month.

Security

The team continues to place security as our top priority. Internally, we will be conducting some courses to continue to educate the masses.

There will also be some resources allocated to create some security tools and bots that can potentially benefit other servers as well.

Conclusion

Thank you for your support for Imaginary Ones. The team will continue to deliver on the roadmap and execute our vision!

Imaginary Ones — Pre-Reveal Announcements

Written by: David Lee (gentlewhale | imaginary ones)

It’s been close to a week and a half since we completed our mint. We have yet to take a breather as the reveal is right around the corner. Here is a sharing about what we have been up to and what’s to come.

1. Foreword & Vision

Imaginary Ones aims to inspire people through creative storytelling that utilizes the innovative technologies of web3.

The ultimate goal is to reach top-of-mind awareness as a household brand.

The founders are seasoned content creators. We will leverage our expertise in digital media, communications, and marketing as a base. The plan is to move towards animated programs, characters, games, merchandise, etc.

We aim to be the bridge between web2 and web3. We find that as a whole, the scene could use better UIUX to improve experiences if we want more retail consumers to come in.

Additionally, after reaching out to existing web2 partners, there’s no doubt that big corps are looking to enter the web3 scene to expand their influence. In our opinion, it isn’t necessarily a bad thing for them to enter web3 as they need to play by web3 rules. They will bring waves of liquidity and retail consumers alongside them.

There’s a massive pot of gold being the intermediary between web2 and web3 at the current stage of the market. Strap on your seatbelts, and let’s blast past the moon together.

2. Short-Term Goals / Utility

We will never forget the holders who believed in us, which gave us this opportunity to launch Imaginary Ones. We will work simultaneously towards short-term and long-term goals to provide maximum value for holders.

In the next quarter, we’ll be delivering staking for IOs and the second collection, Imaginary Vehicles.

1. Staking (1mth+)

As we move towards an ecosystem to allow all ages and retail users to enter, we’d like to give an advantage to our holders by allowing staking to earn a variety of rewards.

Here’s a sneak preview of what’s to come.

2. Imaginary Vehicles (3mth+)

Holders can also expect to receive an airdrop of “Imaginary Vehicles” that compliments the Imaginary World ecosystem.

3. Reveal

The reveal date for Imaginary Ones is set for 11 May (GMT+0).

We have been checking through the designs multiple times to ensure that we deliver the best quality 3D animated videos.

You can expect:

1. Preview all IOs at one glance from the collection page.
2. HD video quality when NFT is played.
3. Videos will play at 60 frames per second.
4. A few hundred unique traits (we think we overdid it) to make your IOs look unique.
5. 25 legendary pieces.
6. Measures are in place to prevent Metadata leaks. At the present moment, metadata has not been generated yet.
7. PFP tool will be released shortly after the reveal.

4. Hires

The team is looking at around 30+ hires to meet our long-term goals. They range from devs to marketers and more. Hires will take some time to fly off, but you can expect things to move faster once the team is assembled.

Current openings are listed on: https://imaginaryones.com/careers

5. Public Relations & Social Media

The company has been reaching out on the PR side. You will be seeing more articles and interviews about Imaginary Ones coming.

Imaginary Ones will also hire a dedicated PR and Social Media Manager to front this. We understand that there is some concern as our Twitter activity is dropping due to our focus on reveal. It will bounce back doubly strong as we secure more professionals to man the fort.

6. Live Meet-Ups

The Team will be organizing a meet-up session for holders in Singapore sometime in early June. Expect food, drinks, and good company. Watch out for the announcement in discord for this.

We will be heading to NFT NYC in late June. It will be an excellent opportunity to meet up with the best in the scene and rub shoulders with potential partners and collaborators. Do say hi when you see us there!

7. Conclusion

That’s all the updates for this round.
Once again, big thanks to all our supporters. We love you.
