We do it different
We saw so many dogs, frogs, monkeys, crappy art, undox teams, degens memes, narrative roadmaps, discord links, drafty whitepapers, opportunistic collections, dirty marketing, scams, rugpulls and so on.
Buzzwords, speculation, hyped people fighting for whitelisting, people getting rich because of the late bloomers… It can work. It worked. But intrinsically, it is not based on anything and most of the time, it does not last.… How many projects failed for one Bored Apes or one Cryptopunk? Influencers sorry for their calls, buyers ending up broken, projects never released, teams disappearing, value that never takes off. Just facts: this is the end result of the vast majority of projects. At this stage, even the most legit and pioneer artists are overcautious and afraid of this space.
NFTs have been designed to bring new functionalities into this space, and embrace mass adoption.
But today it leaves us with a lot of dead things — Time has come where it’s all about being bullish on people & teams, knowing they can deliver, and real vision and utility.
What if it was time to take a step back. Just so we really thrive together.
Tech for projects not the way around: using the full range of NFT protocol
We want to do things differently: use technology to carry out a project, if and only if it is relevant, in no case we do our project to put some technology into it nor a buzzword to market it.
We use NFT for the full technical range of the protocol and all the value it brings to the project, embodied in a passport carrying the identity, reputation, access, voting rights and reward factor of each user, certainly not for the “value” of the buzzword NFT, nor for artificial hype that never lasts. In addition to all these utilities, the NFT makes it possible to stick to the vision by avoiding the project having to rely on institutional investors, the platform being designed to belong to its users so that its full groundbreaking potential is expressed.
Therefore, NFTs also open new ways to fund projects. Not only to build communities and collect art but doing the three at the same time. For community-driven projects (aiming to be community-owned) that are willing to embrace and validate a new global business model as well as a new philosophical approach of economy, NFTs allows to bypass BAs and even more VC’s and institutional investors that are (for the large majority) messing up the world by putting their self interests before the global ones we have all in common. Whether we know it or not. And threatening the last with all the consequences it can bring.
Admittedly, being rare and a piece of art, the NFT is a collectible, and certainly its value will be correlated to the growth of the platform (probably exponentially in the case of the first limited series we are issuing, reserved for the early users). But it is probably not first because it is by itself a rare NFT, but because it supports a huge project that has the power to push the boundaries (to stay humble and not say “revolutionizing” which fits more with “Republike”) in the world of social media.
Indeed, our NFT is much more than just a digital asset: it’s a passport driving your identity and reputation through the network. A Living NFT composed of multiple evolving NFT modules attached to specific utilities that can evolve into separate collectibles.
We are making it different because we don’t start with NFTs. NFTs passports are the final step in the process of launching the official project.
Building a long term community
Republike is here for the long term and with huge ambitions and a solution that addresses major issues for the user and society in general. We could have done it without these technologies, but it turns out that blockchain, cryptocurrency and NFT make it even more powerful and reliable. The project has an undeniable intrinsic value without them, immense with.
Republike has nothing to do with any hype, buzzwords or the moods of the financial markets, it does not depend on the crisis in Ukraine, climatic disasters or Covid. On the contrary it is a powerful tool, perhaps the only project today, that is designed to allow 360° open — and safe — discussions on these subjects and possibly contributing to real solutions, going much further than Elon Musk’s planned upgrades on Twitter (from what we have seen and still with a lot of humility, we just know Republike is one era beyond but it is nothing without the Community) or Web3’s value propositions concerning social networks.
The White Paper is ready, the workflow is ready with possibilities to access the boards for the first citizens, the team is not hiding, the app is soon in beta version.
If you want to be part of one of the most ambitious projects in the social media area, jump here and let’s build it all together.
