Topic: Collect Super Rare NFT Badges for being an active member of the HYPE Community (Read 161 times)

Hi Mike, thank you for your input.

To begin with, HYPE NFT badges have been created as part of the community rewards program in which it provides incentives to 'active' users within the HYPE community. By staying 'active' here, we are referring to the activities of burning (transferring) and freezing (voting) with HYPE tokens.

HYPE Token is a consensus-driven inflationary + deflationary token, allowing users to vote and collectively control the circulating supply of the token. Users vote every month & change the burning % and daily freezing rewards %.

HYPE tokens are burned automatically whenever a user sends HYPE tokens to another user. Currently, it is set as 8.7% of the total transferred amounts. This is the deflationary feature.

HYPE users can receive daily rewards for 'freezing' their HYPE tokens through the dapp (dapp.hypetoken.io). Users are required to freeze their tokens to increase their voting weights & thus, be able to vote. This is the inflationary feature.

HYPE NFT badges were created (ranging from levels 1 to 8 ) to reward users who have frozen & burned specific amounts (Requirements are outlined here: https://hypetoken.io/hype-nft-badge-rewards/).

All badges are limited (Levels 1-4 have 20 each and Levels 5-8 have 10 each) and are served on a first-come-first-serve basis. We do not sell or trade these badges. All badges have already been minted & are being claimed by our community members as we speak. Availability can be checked here: https://hypetoken.io/hype-nft-badge-rewards/

You can view all badges & who owns them via OpenSea.io, here: https://opensea.io/storefront/hype


To answer your question regarding games, yes. We do have some plans for game developments but it is not the core part of the project.

The NFT badges will have a use case within the games we develop (to be launched late November). In the meantime, please read this blog article to fully understand the purpose of these badges & how or why these NFT badges have been created: https://medium.com/@hypetoken/community-rewards-program-14d0e736be66

Good way to get people top buy HYPE. I like that the cars will give you bonuses in the games but where are the games? I cannot buy something for games that are yet to exist. The token has been out for a few months so what is going on with the other development. The token desperately needs some changes and needs to have a reason to be and a way to be used more than currently. I think that will stop the price drop.
I mean even a silly game is better than no game at all. It doesn't have to be something serious.

WHAT IS HYPE TOKEN? (ANN THREAD)







We have created a rewards program whereby those who have burned and frozen certain amounts of HYPE tokens can claim a set of super rare NFT badges.


What are NFT badges?
NFT stands for Non-fungible Tokens which are commonly created under the ERC-721 token standard. Many blockchain projects, particularly games (e.g. Cryptokitties) use this standard to publish cards, badges, tickets, and game items on the blockchain.

Why NFT badges as rewards?
We wanted to reward HYPE community members with something which is symbolic and useful at the same time. NFT badges we have created are a unique set of LEVEL-based badges which have unique designs for each individual badges.

It looks something like this:





What types of badges are available?
There is a total of 8 levels you can reach with the rewards program.

LEVEL 1 (HYPE Beginner) (Limited to 20 badges)
Requirements: 100 HYPE burned & 10 days since first joined & 1,000+ frozen HYPE

LEVEL 2 (HYPE Beginner II) (Limited to 20 badges)
Requirements: 1,000 HYPE burned & 15 days since first joined & 5,000+ active frozen HYPE

LEVEL 3 (HYPER) (Limited to 20 badges)
Requirements: 2,500 HYPE burned & 20 days since first joined & 10,000+ active frozen HYPE

LEVEL 4 (HYPER II) (Limited to 20 badges)
Requirements: 5,000 HYPE burned & 30 days since first joined & 15,000+ active frozen HYPE

LEVEL 5 (HYPER III) (Limited to 10 badges)

Why are they so limited? What happens once they have all been claimed?
These will be the first edition of the NFT badge rewards. It will be the only batch which has a limited supply & a rarity score of 5/5 stars. Once they have all been claimed by users, the second edition will be launched which will have different requirements, more supply and a lower rarity score. It is recommended that you collect the first edition badges as soon as possible.


What can I do with these badges?
These NFT badges can be collected and traded on OpenSea.io (a marketplace for NFT cards/badges/tickets/artworks, etc.). We will also be integrating these badges into our future blockchain-based games & these badges will serve to help you boost your abilities within the games. There will also be partnerships with other NFT-based games for you to forge these badges with other badges/cards to create new items or upgrade your existing ones within the games.


How much are these badges traded for?
There’s no intrinsic value for these badges as of yet. It is up to the users who trade them on marketplaces such as OpenSea.io, who will be marking a value on these badges. Usually, the more rare and limited NFT cards/badges are, the more trading value it holds. However, it is best advised that you collect and keep these badges as we have many new exciting partnerships and games to be launched where you can use these badges as an advantage.


How were the badges designed?
We have used an artificial intelligence to design each and every badge to have its own unique digital artwork stamped on them. Each badge is unique in its own and it should be treated as a computer-generated artwork (to be more specific, we used mathematical equations to generate them: “computational artwork based on histograms of iterated chaotic functions”).


Example of the artworks generated by the AI:



How do I claim my badge?
First, make sure you meet the level’s requirements. For example, to claim a LEVEL 1 badge, you need to have burned at least 100 HYPE from your address + have over 1,000 actively frozen HYPE tokens + your first HYPE transaction should be more than 10 days old.

If you meet the requirements for a level, go to https://hypetoken.io/hype-nft-badge-rewards/ and click on ‘Claim Now”.
