Caring Creatures

Price: 0.07 ETH
No. of tokens: 9,999

Caring Creatures is a collection of 9999 randomly generated NFTs of different rarity. According to the project’s team, every creature will be unique, each having a different set of traits and rarity. The NFTs are birthed synthetically with 143 attributes.

“The Caring Creatures collection is intended to power a longer-term, community-driven, art and collectibles project. They are the visual representation of beings from a visionary state of consciousness, and they have a mission.”

In addition to being the owner of a rather spooky-looking NFT, buyers will be indirectly providing clean water to 24,000 people for 20 years. Similarly, after all the 9,999 creatures are minted, the project intends to plant 100k trees to protect rainforests and support related courses.

As for the benefits of holding a creating creature NFT, token holders will be able to vote on key community decisions and charity spending, access members-only merch, gain early access to all future NFT drops and stage 2 of the project, enjoy 2% of monthly secondary sales, and stand a chance to win ETH in raffles.

Paladin Pandas

Price: 0.03 ETH
No. of tokens: 10,000

Talk about owning an NFT that gives you access to a unique gaming experience. Paladin Pandas is a collection of 10,000 hand-drawn panda characters that grant token holders the chance to fight in “Space Expedition.”

Space Expedition is a rouge-like play-to-earn game where participants go on a random map to fight evil invaders. Players will receive lottery tickets to win NFTs after completing a level.

The panda characters are programmatically generated from over 150 traits across 9 categories. There are six categories to choose from, namely Main Tank, Commando, Sniper, Engineer, Medic, and CyberBard. The characters are stored on the Ethereum blockchain as ERC-1155 tokens.

It is worth mentioning that 709 out of the 10,000 Paladin Pandas will be withheld and distributed to Genesis Holders. Another 91 will be reserved for community events and the team, while 200 tokens will be withheld for game prizes.

CryptoHoots

The Cryminals

Price: 0.05 ETH
No. of tokens: 10,000

“The Cryminals will steal over $250,000 worth of NFTs and they're sharing the loot!

Owning a Cryminal NFT grants you access to the gang.

Other categories include Job (23%), Signs (15%), Family (15%), MMXXI (10%), Success (10%), and Investments (3%). This is in addition to super rare cards like the Joker Cards.

Users essentially attempt to find 6,666 answers about their future. According to the team, “every Prediction is personal and minted depending on your ETH address. Every 7 days all minted predictions are getting changed - your future is a motion, and can’t stay still.”

Universe in a Cube

Price: 0.09 ETH per pack
No. of tokens: 10,000

Universe in a Cube is an NFT collectible game quest around space travel, exploration, and discovery.

In total, there are 25,000 cubes.
