I have this idea to create an NFT collection representing $ATOM and Cosmos Hub.
The NFT Collection would be represented by a mouse, more specific, the desert mouse from Dune 2, Muad`Dib, but the theme should be about the cosmos mouse, not the desert mouse.
Maybe someone can create a proposal to use some community funds to pay some really good artists to make it happen.
The NFT collection should put $ATOM stakers first, offering WL in different Phases, for example Phase 1 for 1000+ $ATOM stakers, Phase 2 for 250+ $ATOM stakers and Bad Kids NFT holders, Phase 3 for 50+ ATOM stakers and other NFT communities like Sloths, Mammoth, Ommies and Mad Scientist and Phase 4 for Public mint, or something like this.
The NFT`s are doing really well at the moment, as you can see the success Celestia and Mantra had with their collections.
I think that by doing this NFT collection, the $ATOM community will be really happy about it.
I would like to hear your thoughts about it. Looking forward to see your comments.
Not sure about the mouse thing but yeah fully agree with you. Many Cosmos chains are growing their community through NFTs, acting as a badge to rally for a common cause : The Hub.
Also agree on the WL system you described and the need to find a good artist while the contract is owned by us (instead of choosing an existing team and brand). Could also be a streamswap the way Mad Scientist did, because it offers a fair distribution, everybody get in at the same entry point, ATOM holders could be airdrop some token for mint, but not all.
In my mind, I see it as 10K crazy Cosmaunots or something. PFP
Also need some utility, like stacking in a DAO, earning some yield from royalties, discords activities with games and giveway. Pretty much what most big chains already have except The Hub. From a chat with Curious_J , this would need a grant if you want Mods and people managing Discord, posting stuff, do Space on X … etc
Already had some experimental thoughts few months ago on X :
