Degree, the deodorant brand, has announced a partnership with Metaverse platform Decentraland recently. In order to help build a new standard of inclusivity and representation in the Web3.0 digital world. Decentraland and Grammy-nominated musician Fat Joe, along with the famous Paralympic Athlete Blake Leeper, will soon come together to host the Degree “Metathon.” This will be the world’s first marathon in the Metaverse. This event will take place on April 26 (tomorrow), 2022 at 6 p.m. EDT.

“From different body shapes to cultures to physical abilities, inclusion is key to making people feel welcome. I’m proud to take part in the Degree® Metathon™ and highlight this important message, so everyone feels comfortable and accepted in the metaverse.” -Degree Team

The Scoop

However, the Metathon by Degree is only the beginning. The project encapsulates the purpose of the whole new trajectory for the company called the Breaking Limits Program. This project will be a five-year, $5 million push to transform lives with the “power of movement.” This new Program is aimed at supporting youth sports organizations, whose individuals must confront serious barriers to being physically active. These barriers include racial biases, sexual orientation prejudice, ableism, financial limitations, gender, age, socioeconomic status, and many others. This project will provide these heroes with access to coaches and mentors, along with safe spaces to move and be active.

“Over the last several years, Degree® has made great strides in progressing our mission of championing everyone to have the confidence to move more, and now we’re taking that same mission into the virtual world.” This was a comment from a representative at Degree.

Crytopathic, the artist behind the now very popular NFT collection called the Hashmasks, was well known before hand in the underground scene. Underground being a loose term here, referring more to the NFT world than anything else. In the first few weeks of production since the debut, thousands of buyers stormed the gates to buy these unique pieces, driving the sale revenue up to well over sixteen million dollars. Since then, things may have slowed down, but they have certainly not become dull in any real sense.

The NFT Inspiration

This collection is characterized by an amazing, surreal style that draws the viewer in and forces them to look at the bigger picture of what pop culture around NFTs is really about. They look a lot like urban art would look if it were worth millions of dollars. Introspective, emotive, evocative, and polarizing are just some of the words that have been used to describe the collection since its inception.

“Hashmasks is a living digital art collectible created by over 70 artists globally. It is a collection of 16,384 unique digital portraits. Brought to you by Suum Cuique Labs from Zug, Switzerland. By holding the artwork, you accumulate the NCT token on a daily basis, which allows you to choose a name for your portrait on the Ethereum blockchain. This is your opportunity to be among the first to participate in one of the largest collaborative NFT art projects in existence.” -Hashmasks

Akumu Dragonz is the most recent addition to the cross-chain NFT collection from the famous artists and development team at Bōryoku Dragonz. To date, a grand total of 10,000 HD pixel Dragonz NFTs have bee released at a price point of 0.169 ETH. Unfortunately, the initial mint was a complete commercial failure initially because of an exploitable loophole in the commercial chain, and consequently 5% of the total supply of the collection was exploited. The developer and creator who is also a famous NFT influencer MouseDev appeared to save the day as the controversy became more and more uproarious.

The Art

Akumu Dragons is a pixelated profile-picture style of NFT that has a generative rarity algorithm set in the code that builds the NFTs according to a specific framework. The pieces themselves are very colorful but nevertheless maintain the dragon theme set down by previous collections developed by the team. They are whacky, moody, colorful, serious, gritty, and artistically very attractive.

From the Website

“This is why, as part of the team’s vision, Akumu is born with the purpose of expanding the Boku community through the Bōryoku and Akumu brands. With even more factions, fantasy lore, gaming around the Dragonz universe to come. Akuma Dragonz Roadmap: A CROSS-CHAIN WEB3 BRAND To leverage NFTs as the next frontier into discovering the unbounded potential of brand building through the engagement of the virtual and physical worlds.”

Take Off is disrupting the NFT space

Published

The digital animation release number for “Take Off” is 524. It is based on the diptych “Flying at Dusk” by Sun Yitian. The owl’s image is generated based on the artistic creation model. In conjunction with the binding of data actions, a unique narrative is generated and stored permanently on the blockchain.

The design was inspired by the owl of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, which is a symbol of reason and thought. The white owls are only seen at night, while the black owls are only seen during the day. They pursue each other, but due to the reversal of time, they never meet. The black and white owls appear to be two distinct individuals, but in a sense, one is a clone of the other, and a metaphor for identity emerges at a certain point. In the process of Owl’s philosophical speculation, the artist’s algorithm will transform meaningless data into a new ideology.

Take Off is not only an NFT project, but it is also a component of an NFT plan that is story-driven and art-based. This plan was developed by BCA Labs in collaboration with artists who are engaged with BCA Gallery

Phase 1 of the NFT collection highlights its artistic qualities with a limited edition of 524 pieces. Phase 2 will be released as a series of PFP-like NFTs, with unique attributes and scarcity for each. Phase 1 holders will unlock exclusive Phase 2 NFT benefits that are not limited to NFT airdrop benefits.

Holders of NFTs, collectors of original artwork by Sun Yitian, and holders of P01NTs are eligible to purchase whitelist mint rights. Concurrently, the group will make available to the BCA Labs community as well as other cooperative communities a portion of the whitelist.

NFT gives artists the opportunity to share their artworks with the world, allowing everyone to collect the works of their favorite artists. In addition, it allows users to interact with one another through a community. As the incubator of NFT, BCA Labs will collaborate with more art institutions and artists. Early adopters will receive exclusive rights and benefits as the community grows.
