So if you havenât read my post yesterday, TLDR is I was exhausted from NFT NYC so I spent last Saturday indoors to have alone time to catch up on personal and professional thangz.
And thatâs how I came across Subway Rats, which was such a delightful Discord onboarding experience that I had to write about it.
After going through thatâŠ
I came across something else. 2 unique onboarding experiences in one evening?!
Probably a little less dive-worthy, but noteworthy enough for me to write about, so here we go!
Similar to yesterdayâs post, I strongly encourage you to experience what Iâm writing about yourself. Itâs sorta like watching a movie in 2D (my breakdown) vs. the new 4DX or whatever itâs called lol (going through the motions yourself).
The experience is the most important part, but additional context and links for reference.
The experience: oncyber.io/noble
Website: nobletoken.com
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Artifaction2
If you want to see my recorded experience, check it out here (2 min. recording)
If you do watch, I would like to warn you my laptop had a laggy experience with oncyber because..my laptop sucks đ. Itâs me, not them.
As I continued my mission of inbox zeroâing my Discord notifications, I came across this message.
Cool cool, nothing crazy.
What are these types of notifications? Groups often share information of various raffles that might be interesting or have a higher chance of positive financial return. Entering these raffles are also easy to opt-in while having the option to purchase if you won the raffle. Lightweight, commitment free, and potential financial gain. Nice!
Btw, this tool is Premint, the leading raffle tool for NFT projects. Probably worth a post another day as a better way to do raffles vs. that Instagram BS.
Though you canât see it since I was already confirmed for the raffle, these were the requirements:
Cool, nothing crazyâŠwait a sec. You need to have at least 0.85 ETH (~$850) in your wallet?! Thatâs a lot for most folks. Including me, because if I have any leftover ETH in my wallet, I usually spend it on more jpegs đ„
Because of that requirement I got intriguedâŠFrom my limited experience, projects that had a high ETH balance requirement were relatively successful.
Remember Moonbirds?
The ETH balance requirement to enter the raffle was 2.5 ETH đ€
Alright, letâs dig in. Time for some due diligence.
But wait! Whatâs oncyber?
For those unfamiliar, itâs basically a digital art gallery that anyone can create or participate in. Essentially anyone can become an art curator and create a digital museum with their NFTs! Awesome right?!
Alright, I guess Iâm the only one geeking out đ
Oh snapâŠhere we go! Whatâs that thing in the back with âPlayâ?
Entering into the first corridor, weâre greeted by a slightly creepy character. For any Mr. Robot fans, you know who that is đ.
Written instructions are on either side of the hallway.
Letâs read the instructions:
Woah this is cool, so you visit the gallery every day, find the new piece added to the gallery for 30 days. If you do this successfully your âPush Playâ NFT evolves with the accomplishment.
TBH, I donât fully understand the mechanics here (how do you get that Play NFT in the first place anyway? Maybe I discovered it too late), but I love the combination of:
Gamification - Find the new art piece in Nobleâs oncyber gallery
Engagement/retention - Do this for 30 days
Virality - Tweet about the new piece every day
It also reminds me of a version of this from my gaming days, though the retention mechanics below are more straightforward.
Cool, right? So what IS Noble Cards?
TLDR:
You collect cards and can upgrade them
You need to have Card #1 in order to participate in any of the drops
You can upgrade via the game mechanics mentioned above and your cards can as well. Upgrading seems to lead to rarer art pieces.
This is Card #1, ah that âPush Playâ thing at the end of the gallery.
And who are some of the artists in Season 1?
Unfamiliar with them? Itâs ok. Trust me, theyâre big in the space.
Note: These are screenshots of secondary sales, not primary sales. Also, artist work oftentimes is sold/transacted on other platforms like Foundation instead of Opensea.
Yea, yea TPan is going off one of his geekout sessions.
Season pass concept in art: Iâm not an art expert but I havenât really seen this done before. Digital art and NFTs make this possible and it may become more prevalent in the space. Think Snackcrate or BirchboxâŠbut for art đł
Art is Art, but you can add layers to it: Art will always be art, plain and simple. There shouldnât be any expectation of âutilityâ beyond the fact that itâs art and itâs beautiful. Sure, the value of an artistâs pieces may appreciate but it operates on a different timeline and youâre ultimately supporting the artist. BUTâŠcan a company/project add additional dimensions to the art via gamification and other strategies/tactics? Sure! And thatâs whatâs happening with Noble Cards.
Clearly the team gets it đ
Iâm excited to see digital art continue to evolve in various ways. Bravo Grifter Six Labs!
See you tomorrow đš
