Several months ago, I shared with you a post about a secret project that I only revealed on X!
Today, it’s time to show you what I worked on the last months!
Introducing ORIGINE: a set of 40 cards!
For a while, I've been pondering how to bring our Axie community closer together. We all adore our NFTs on screens, but many also crave something tangible, something real. That's why I came up with the idea for the first-ever Axie cards collection, Origine!
You know how popular Pokemon and One Piece cards are? I wanted us to experience that same excitement with our Axies. Something we can share online and cherish together.
Since I'm just one person with big ideas but limited funds, I wanted to test this out with the community.
So, we're kicking things off with a small first edition: :
🔥 Collection of 40 physical cards (not digital or NFTs)
🌈 Assortment of Holo & non-holo cards
🚨 Limited edition – Only 2000 boosters to be printed
Already, we've got over 1400 boosters pre-ordered, showing the community's interest!
And we'll be shipping worldwide. For example, in the Philippines, we've set up a small hub for national orders, with shipping fees of just $2 on each of your order!
This isn't a card game; it's more like collecting sports cards. All the artwork is hand-drawn by Axie community members Snowy and Papanorren. Snowy put in months of work to bring you this unique collection!
What’s next if it’s a success??
If we sell out and the community loves it, I'd like to take this project further.
First, I'd love to partner officially with Axie Infinity for a second collection! While my project is grassroots, having the "Axie Infinity" stamp would take it to the next level.
I envision hosting events around these collections and inviting other Ronin IPs to join us. How cool would it be to have special cards featuring CyberKongz, Kaidro, Wild Forrest, or Pixels assets? We could even think about rewards for those who collect the whole set or find a golden ticket inside a booster. I have loads of ideas, but it's up to the community to decide if they're into it.
I truly believe this adds value to NFTs and brings our community closer. I've hired two Axie artists for this collection, and we could hire more for bigger collections in the future. If Cyberkongz or any other IP jumps on board for a second collection, one of their artists could design their specific cards. It'd provide content for creators and influencers, and I think it's the perfect product for anyone aged 7 to 77.
I could talk about this project for ages, but I think you've got the gist. Thanks for your support, and I hope to see you cracking open some boosters to start and complete the first collection!
