CryptoGraf is a collection composed of 5,555 NFTs that was launched on the Solana blockchain last February 6, 2022.

One of the ironic things about the NFT space is that it’s an art-oriented space littered with self-proclaimed artists that don’t actually have a genuine love for art. In line with this, one new collection aims to bring back ‘real art’ in the non-fungible token (NFT) arena by launching immersive assets that will bring out the artists out of NFT enthusiasts.

Background

CryptoGraf is a new NFT collection backed by a team of artists to spark the next generation of digital artists.

The team created these new assets to facilitate and bring out creativity among NFT holders, bringing them closer into the world of true art.

What is CryptoGraf?

CryptoGraf is a collection composed of 5,555 NFTs that was launched on the Solana blockchain last February 6, 2022. Each NFT cost 1 SOL on mint.

The team has reserved 150 digital assets for the upcoming giveaways and collaborations.

Furthermore, it has also launched the so-called “legendary pieces,” which is slated to bring more excitement to the collection.

One unique feature of the platform is that each NFT can function like a real-life ‘canvas’ for holders, meaning they can paint/customize their newly purchased asset.

Be The Next Michaelangelo!

By purchasing a CryptoGraft NFT, a holder will be given a chance to paint on pixels located on a large shared canvas.

This canvas will be too large for a single holder to fill; that’s why other holders can also participate in the digital painting session.

After 14 days, the team will take a snapshot of the finished product, convert it into an NFT, fractionalize it, and distribute it to all who have contributed to the canvas.

More canvases will soon be released for NFT holders, which will bring more creative avenues for the holders and artists in the community.

Introducing the ‘PAINT’ Token

Apart from NFTs, another asset of the collection is called PAINT, which allows holders to customize their newly purchased NFT. Holders can also bring their friends and fellow NFT art enthusiasts to help them paint their NFTs, which was intended by the team to foster a solid CrypoGraf community.

Every purchased CryptoGraf NFT will generate a limited amount of PAINT tokens every 5 minutes. Another exciting part here is that these tokens will depend on the ranking of the NFT; the higher the rank, the more ‘PAINT’ holders can get.

The PAINT token will not be offered as a separate token but will function as one with the CryptoGraf’s website.

Legendary NFTs Up For Grabs

As the much-awaited minting has kickstarted, so is the collection’s legendary pieces auction. As of this writing, three assets have been successfully auctioned so far giving holders not only an immersive art but a potentially high-value asset in their hands, or rather, in their wallets.

Here are the legendary minters who have so far minted the collection’s Legendary NFTs:

First minter: @JC_in_BC

Second minter: Banny Boller

Third minter: @BTCISAPONZI

More minters are expected to compete for the remaining legendary NFTs in the coming days and even in the coming hours after the latest purchase.

Roadmap

Genesis Canvas

The Genesis Canvas has been successfully launched and is gathering steam in the NFT community with its unique concept.

Canvas II

This second canvas is intended for artists and reserves areas for 1/1 artists to paint. Again, the output of this canvas will be fractionalized and distributed just like what will be done on the Genesis canvas.

Canvas III

The third canvas will give artists more freedom as they will receive more ‘paint’ and encourage them to customize the canvas every 3 hours. All changes will be recorded, turned into a timelapse, and be fractionalized.

Upcoming Canvases

With the expected success of 1st three canvases, the team plans to launch more canvases in the future with added offerings that will bring out more creativity in the artists.

Ladies, Unite!

Aside from being an art-oriented collection, it seems that CryptoGraf is also attempting to represent another important figure in the world of NFTs: Women.

Twitter user @DrRituximab praised the collection because of its big percentage of female characters, giving lady NFT enthusiasts a much-needed ‘voice’ in the still male-dominated arena.

Collaboration

CryptoGraf has collaborated with @PLINFT, an NFT marketing, and communications platform, to give the collection a much-needed boost in the public’s eyes.

Through this partnership, 30 CryptoGrafs are now proudly displayed in one of Time Square’s biggest outdoor screens, giving the collection a massive exposure to thousands of pedestrians every day.

Conclusion

CryptoGraf indeed has a unique concept and brings something fresh to the table by letting holders ‘paint’ on their newly-purchased assets.

And while this is interesting, it is not yet clear if it can survive in the long run, given the steady streams of upcoming NFT collections with fresh and creative concepts to offer.
