Introduction
Preface
Firstly, I would like to clarify the purpose of this article. We aim to create a unique project by addressing key aspects that set it apart. In the following sections titled "What is Degen Heroes?" and "Roadmap," I will explore these aspects in detail. One important point to note is that I strongly believe NFT projects should possess genuine value rather than being purely speculative tools. In my opinion, NFT collections should consist of meaningful art rather than AI-generated images lacking artistic significance. I refer to this article as a "Whitepaper" as it serves as a foundational document for the entire collection, encompassing the concept, design, and roadmap. Additionally, please be aware that this article is in pre-alpha stage, so there may be some logical or grammatical errors. Your feedback on any issues you come across would be greatly appreciated.
What is "Degen heroes"?
"Degen Heroes" is an exciting NFT project centered around a unique collection that lays the groundwork for a future ecosystem. The ultimate objective of this project, in my view, is to develop a card game where players can utilize their own NFTs. The roadmap section provides a comprehensive breakdown of the various stages involved in creating a truly valuable product. As the creator of this concept, I have unwavering confidence in the $DEGEN token and the ecosystem it represents. Consequently, this project will receive special attention, and the value of the cards will increase as the $DEGEN ecosystem grows.
The NFT collection consists of distinct trading cards, each representing a prominent user within the $DEGEN ecosystem. For instance, the first card in the collection will feature @jacek, the lead of $DEGEN, and is expected to be one of the most powerful cards. Each card possesses unique characteristics that will hold significant value in the future game. However, during the initial stages of the project, these statistics may not have tangible implications.
The cards will be released in seasons, with new heroes added in each season. This approach aligns with the continuous growth of the $DEGEN ecosystem as we witness the emergence of new influencers on a daily basis. Therefore, every influential individual or notable figure within the $DEGEN ecosystem will have their own card available for purchase.
The user's mission is to collect cards and assemble an unstoppable team of "Degen Heroes" who will courageously combat the forces of evil and darkness in the world of "Degenland." With a rich lore behind them, these extraordinary heroes will embark on epic battles to restore peace and harmony to their war-torn land.
I am fully committed to building a community-oriented project, which means that all significant decisions will be made through polls on my page.
