Validators NFT partners with Gnogen to become the third collection to be accepted into the DAO Launchpad Program.

As Web 3.0 and the entire NFT decentralized ecosystem continue to advance forward, they will begin to call professionals from other fields to join in the boom. Lucas Jensen is a professional graphic designer, as has been working with clients from all backgrounds for the past 20 years. While working full-time in his normal career, Lucas chased a dream of becoming an NFT digital artist and stayed up late for the past several months to prepare for the launch of his new Validators v1 NFT collection. We are proud to dually present the v1 collection to the community and want to take a bit of time to explain why these v1 robots will become so significant over time.

What is a proof of stake decentralized blockchain without its Validators? How else can P2P economies grow if users cannot trust the immutability of public ledgers? Validators secure the network and bring confidence and value to the coin it supports. Meet the Validators of the Elrond Network Blockchain. They may appear friendly, but looks can be deceiving. These robots are much more than meets the eye.

Holding a v1 Validator will also get you 1 free v2 Validator, along with a White List spot that secures the holder early presale access to a max purchase of seven (7) v2 Validators (before the general public is allowed to purchase theirs). So 0.40 EGLD today will get you a v1 Validators, as well as a v2, all in one price.

Validators v1 will consist of a max supply of 1,000 computer-generated randomized NFTs. Validators v2 development is already underway and is scheduled for a Q4 2021 release date. The v2 collection will consist of 10,000 unique robots - featuring a complete revamp in abilities and artistic direction. The v1 Validators will play a special role in the governance of the Validators' community decision-making, and because they will look very different from v2 robots, there will already be built-in scarcity as soon as the v2 collection is released.

As part of Validators’ Launchpad partnership with Gnogen, they will donate 1,000 NFTs from their v2 collection, in exchange for 2 lifetime DAO membership seats. 900 of these 1,000 donated NFTs will be locked for a 3 Year Period, while the remaining 100 can be sold at any time to fund DAO development. Since the Infamous Ethereum Fork of 2016, the world has realized it is not an easy thing to code a technologically sound DAO Smart Contract System. We will need to hire the best dev teams, and pay for Smart Contract audits from the world’s leading security firms. That is why 10% of the initial DAO donations will have to be liquidated to fund development. The DAO will feature an open public ledger of all spending. Anybody will be able to have a full audit of exactly how Gnogen DAO funds are spent.

The v1 collection from Validators marks the dawn of an important new era for Lucas Jensen and his Validators NFT collection. Few NFT teams on the market have the founder being the same person as the full-time artist. Validators has the skill set, the long-term vision, and the determination to continue to deliver continued excellence to their art collectors, for years to come.

The retail price for 1 of these first 1,000 will be 0.40 EGLD. The proceeds for 100% of the v1 collection will go entirely to the Validators team. Holding a v1 Validator will also get you 1 free v2 Validator, along with a White List spot that secures the holder early presale access to a max purchase of seven (7) v2 Validators (before the general public is allowed to purchase theirs). So 0.40 EGLD today will get you a v1 Validators, as well as a v2, all in one price.

Validators v1 will go on sale tomorrow (Saturday 11/06 at 14:00 UTC) in a surprise shock drop, and will presale 500 of the 1,000 robots in their discord

Once this first group of buyers receives their NFT deliveries, the following Saturday (11/13 at 14:00 UTC) will see the remaining 500 Validators be sold again via discord presales. All 1,000 v1 Validators will be sent to wallets no later than November 20th.

v2 Validators has an estimated release date of January 2022.

Let the journey begin. ⚡
