Tomorrow we’ll launch the first NFTs of our Velociraptor collection. All of the velociraptors will be unique. Our raptors will only be minted once, so if you purchase it, you will be the sole owner of that NFT.
We hand draw all of our raptors, there is no computer program generating them! This gives us full control on how we want them to look and allows us to make sure they’re really different from the other raptors we created. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed creating them!
What are Velociraptors?
Velociraptors are dinosaurs that are most often just called raptors. They lived over 70 million years ago, in the Cretaceous Period. They’re quite famous for their movie appearance in Jurassic Park.
The size of velociraptors is roughly the same as of a turkey 🦃. Historians also claim that raptors probably had feathers, and would have looked like a strange bird, in contrast to how they’re displayed in movies.
In the picture above you can see how they Velociraptors could have looked like. Of course nothing of this is certain.
If you want to learn more about raptors, check the article on Wikipedia. They have some great information about the history of Velociraptors, about feather knobs they discovered, the different kind of raptors that existed…
First Velociraptor NFT Drop
Our Raptors: Ace, Blue and Pinkie
The first 3 velociraptors we introduce to you are Ace, Blue and Pinkie. You can see them below. They’re the forefathers of our raptor collection.
31 – Ace ♂️
Supply: 1 (🖤)
32 – Blue ♀️
Supply: 1 (🖤)
33 – Pinkie ♀️
Supply: 1 (🖤)
All 3 of those raptors are NFTs without any special traits. The raptors of our next drop will have some special trait, so if you want that, you can wait on the next drop. The price for our raptors with a special trait will also be higher though.
Purchasing a Velociraptor NFT
If you’re interested in purchasing one of our raptors, they’ll be put on sale on Tuesday July 13th in our store on OpenSea. The price will be 0.025 ETH / raptor.
📝 Note: All of our NFTs have 5% royalties. This means that on each transaction that’s made, 5% of the proceeds go back to our account. Those royalty fees will be used to pay for our expenses (domain, website, SSL certificate…).
Minting on Polygon (no Gas)
Our NFTs are minted on OpenSea. They’re on the Polygon blockchain, this means there won’t be any gas fee that needs to be paid when purchasing them.
Polygon is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that aims to solve the issues Ethereum currently has: speed and price. Polygon transactions only take seconds and cost a few cents.
