MonarchButterflies

About Monarch Butterflies

There will be 10,000 algorithmically generated butterflies from over 100 different traits created by our fantastic artist at the price of 1-2 SOL. These butterflies will fill your wallet with Pollen, which is a utility token at the center of everything we build.

Pollen

Your butterflies will generate Pollen equal to 50% of secondary sales. Pollen will be used to interact with future NFT drops, games, websites, and even a possible metaverse collaboration with other Solana NFTs.

Other Utility

On top of collecting Pollen, there will be a stake and burn mechanisms for future drops. We also plan on sweeping the floor and making fun interactions between this drop and future drops (owning NFTs across different projects will increase Pollen production).

Donations

Monarch Butterflies have seen a drastic reduction in their population due to the lack of milkweed available, their only source of food. We plan on donating $25,000 to two charities for a total of $50,000. One will focus on bringing back the fading Monarch Butterfly population. The second will be given to an organization that has a positive impact on the environment in general.

Frequently Asked questions

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,

How Many Butterflies Are There?

There will be 10,000 algorithmically generated butterflies. We are reserving 250 for promotions and personal use.

How much SOL to mint one?

The price is not set, but we are thinking of 1-3 SOL depending on the market and popularity of our project before mint day. We will let you know at least 3 days before mint.

How can I buy one?

There will be a link to the mint site, where you will be able to connect your wallet and mint like most drops. If you are new to the space, you will need to create a phantom wallet and send SOL to your phantom wallet from an exchange like FTX or Coinbase. Once there is SOL in your wallet, simply connect your wallet on mint day and hit mint.

Will there be a limit on number of mints?

There will be one mint per transaction. The limit on the number of mints will be determined by popularity of the project before mint day. The more people interested, the more limitations we will place on number of mints.

When is Launch Day?

TBD – we are thinking by the end of October.

What is Pollen?

Pollen is our utility token based on the Solana blockchain.

What can Pollen be used for?

We plan on making Pollen the center of our ecosystem. You will need it for future drops, to make purchases on our game, and to expand our metaverse garden.

How can I get Pollen?

Pollen will be airdropped into your wallet simply for holding our NFTs. We plan on making it tradeable and giving users 50% of sales in the form of Pollen. If the value of Pollen grows, you could be making more than 50% of sales.

What other details do you have about the game?

While nothing is set yet, we have a vision of a PvP tower defense game where you balance between building your defenses and sending minions to fight your opponent. You will be able to use your custom NFT as your avatar and give a boost to your elemental towers depending on which element attribute your Monarch Butterfly has.

What other details do you have about the metaverse garden?

Our vision for our metaverse is a space where you can customize your own garden and import your Monarch Butterflies to populate it. The key emphasis will be on having something you can show people who aren’t familiar with NFTs. Along the same lines, we want a low barrier of entry for people who are new to the space. This means the base garden space will be free, but to upgrade and expand, you will need to own more Butterflies / pay in Pollen.

What other utility will this NFT have?

We plan on making a stake and burn for our series two drop, Honeybees. We also plan on sweeping floor and building a community through events and group activism. We want people to show us what they are doing to help butterflies and the environment in general. We even plan on sending milkweed to people in North America so they can plant them in their garden to help the Monarch Butterfly species.

What about donations?

We plan on donating at least $50,000 split into two donations of $25,000 each. One will go to helping the Monarch Butterfly population. The second will go to helping the environment in general. We have not chosen which charities yet, but are open to suggestions.
