Ethereum is still the leader in NFT technology, hosting the most NFT projects. But how long? Developers and users are moving to cheaper, more scalable and efficient blockchains because of the network’s high gas cost.
Following the Great Gas War of 2021 and the fall of House Ether, a new NFT project dubbed AGE of SAM was launched on Solana to cater for survivors.
What is the AGE of SAM?
AGE is a Hold to Earn utility NFT platform. It aims to build a strong community around the Solana network, while exceeding industry standards and adding value.
AOS’s innovative Cross-Pollination model is designed to bring both utility and scale. A number of major network players in the Solana ecosystem have been drawn to the project and joined AOS to achieve its ambitious goals.
AOS has partnered with 12 established Solana projects to build its community and provide utility for users. The 12 partner projects are described in its sci-fi lore as the 12 Factions of the prominent House SOL, highlighting the edge Solana has over Ethereum in relation to gas fees.
The 12 projects are KAM1, Ernest in Disguise, SolPunks, Pixel Invaderz, ArtPunks, Unirexcity, Piggy Sol Gang, The Fellowship, Dope Apes, Pesky Penguin Club, Meerkat Millionaires Country Club, and Dronies.
The AOS team consists of designers, developers, game producers, artists and community managers. They also include marketing and public outreach experts and advisors. All have extensive experience in crypto and NFT.
How does it work?
The 12 Factions of House SOL are the official AGE of SAM partner projects and are represented as NFTs called SAMs (Solarium Autonomous Miners). These NFTs are machine-generated by sampling the DNA of the 12 Factions. These include KAM1, Ernest In Disguise and SolPunks.
Each SAM NFT is designed as an homage to the 12 partner project NFTs in an animated, pixelated form. Because they are random generated, there are no two SAMs exactly the same. Their rarity is measured by the degree to which they differ.
There are eight levels of rarity in the SAM NFTs. These are Scouts and Recruits as well as Technicians, Engineers and Scientists.
The project minted on The Fellowship Creator Machine platform on February 16th. The Fellowship is one of the 12 official AOS partner projects and the developers of the leading innovative Solana NFT launchpad.
AOS Utility
The AGE of SAM Project promises to bring a lot of value and utility to players and partners. These are just a few.
- Project Cross-Pollination
AOS partners with established projects on Solana to increase exposure and incentivize players to own tokens from other NFT projects. Players can earn up to 2x SOLARIUM, the project’s native token, by simply holding a SAM NFT representing the 12 partner projects.
Partnering with AOS means that any person who has a SAM NFT as well as an NFT from one the partner projects, will earn twice the SOLARIUM tokens during weekly Moon missions.
- Building Strong Relationships and Trust
The partnership between AOS and the 12 projects eliminates any idea of rug pulls as these are established and reputable projects on the Solana network. This increases the investor trust in the project, and it also encourages adoption.
It also builds relationships between teams from each partner project, allowing for an accelerated exchange and support across projects.
- Play-to-Earn Games for Users
AOS currently develops a strategic dungeon-crawler game in partnership avec a AAA game studio. The SAM NFTs are playable characters and environments in the game. They earn $SOLARIUM.
The platform will use the weekly Moon Missions as competitions between partner communities. Factions earning the most SOLARIUM will also be rewarded with NFTs or other prizes. Players can earn more by holding NFTs from different factions.
The SOLARIUM Token
SOLARIUM represents the native token for the AOS project. Each SAM NFT has its own unique traits. The maximum amount of SOLARIUM that a SAM can mine per day on a Moon Mission will depend on their rarity.
Recruits have the ability to mine up 2 SOLARIUM per day. Scouts can mine 2.5 SOLARIUM, Technicians can mine 3, Engineers can mine 3.5, Scientists can mine 4, Scientists can mine 4.5, Scientists can mine 4, Commanders can mine 5, Captains can 6 and Admirals can mine up 7.5 SOLARIUM each day.
The project plans to also roll out what it calls the “clever tax,” which will discourage unstaking. The tax’s SOLARIUM revenues will go towards building and developing AOS communities.
The team consists of a group of international designers, developers, artists and community managers. They also include video game producers and content writer with a lot of experience in the NFT/crypto space. Users are able to get in touch with them at the official Twitter or Discord.
