Affyn Launches First 2000 Land NFTs For Its Play-And-Earn NEXUS World Metaverse
Singaporean Web3 and metaverse firm Affyn have revealed the first 2,000 “Freehold” Land NFTs for the NEXUS World metaverse game, marking the start of the next phase.
The Affyn team completed several milestones along the roadmap through 2022, breaking several records on the Polygon blockchain through the oversubscribed auction of the limited edition Generation Zero “Buddies” NFTs. Following this, the Affyn team revealed details surrounding the NEXUS World “Land” and its role in Affyn’s geolocation-based metaverse. Now, Singapore will be the first virtual city to join NEXUS World.
From 17 December onwards, the first 2,000 Singapore Land NFTs will be available for “Flag” holders to acquire. These 2,000 plots of metaverse land, or Land NFTs, are mapped to actual locations in Singapore.
The limited collection of land NFTs is organized based on their rarity levels, and each degree of rarity gives owners a different set of benefits. Each Land NFT offers different combinations of climates and features, including the ability to create rare “buddies” and access to exclusive events.
“We are incredibly excited for NEXUS World Landowners to experience the metaverse come to life and take part in creating and driving the economy,” notes Affyn’s Founder and CEO Lucaz Lee. “These encouraging developments and additional cities coming in the coming months will be invaluable catalysts for ongoing Web3 gaming adoption.”
Limited edition rare Freehold Land NFTs arrive
In NEXUS World, 33.9 billion hexes represent the smallest unit of Land, further divided into four groups based on how rare they are: Common, Rare, Epic and Mythic. About 29%, or about 9.8 billion hexagons, of the 33.9 billion hexagons are “Land”.
Of the total, only 0.001% of the 9.8 billion hexes are “Freehold Land”, meaning that the maximum number of “Freehold” Land NFTs is limited to 100,000, contributing to the scarcity of Freehold Land NFTs. The Affyn team has clarified that only 50% of these Freehold Land NFTs will be available pre-launch, with the remaining 50% set aside for post-game launch.
Freehold Land NFT is one of Affyn’s NEXUS World’s most critical digital assets. Each of the first 2,000 Singapore Freehold Land NFTs is characterized by a distinct climate and features, such as snow, sand and grass. Additionally, depending on the rarity level of the Land NFT, there is also a chance that rare “buddies” will appear.
Freehold Land Development Advances
Users who own Freehold Land NFTs are given the opportunity to explore new monetization opportunities from these virtual properties. Landowners can organize events, competitions and gatherings or even rent out parts of the property to other players.
Land NFT owners can transform their virtual property into a functional small town, deciding everything from which players can live there as citizens to taxing residents and virtual businesses and exploring different avenues to generate revenue. The revenue generated from these activities is directly proportional to how many people visit and use the virtual property.
Affyn’s omnichain approach ensures that NEXUS World players can use their “Buddies” NFTs in other metaverses and ecosystems that are compatible. Also, the platform’s in-game rewards system provides users with added value by supporting virtual currency ($FYN) payments for real-world expenses such as food, travel, and shopping.
