Introducing NFTStrategy: A Perpetual Machine for every NFT collection

PunkStrategy started as an art project, and turned into a whole new token meta. It was bound to be forked, and we felt like we should create a way to launch your own while still being permissionless and safe for buyers. We also wanted to make sure each one strengthened $PNKSTR, and also gave value back to project creators/artists that have slowly been cut out of royalties.

How it works:
- Every ERC721 NFT collection can have a single NFTStrategy token deployed for it (1 to 1)
- Fees pool up from trades, buy NFTs for that collection, and relist them at 1.2x
- When the NFT sells, all of the ETH is used to buy and burn that NFTStrategy token.
- This continues, forever.

Fee Breakdown:
- Right now $PNKSTR has a 10% trading fee, with 8% going to the NFT accumulation pool, 1% to TokenWorks supporters, and 1% to the TokenWorks team.
- NFTStrategy tokens will have a slightly different fee structure. Each will still have a 10% fee, with 8% going to the NFT accumulation pool. 1% will go to the collection owner as royalties, and 1% will be used to buy and burn $PNKSTR

How To Launch:
- There will be 3 launch phases. First, 5 NFTStrategy tokens will launched by the TokenWorks team on Day 1: $APESTR (Bored Apes), $PUDGYSTR (Pudgy Penguins) $DICKSTR (Dickbutts) $BIRBSTR (Moonbirds), $MEEBSTR (Meebits).
- Later, deployments will open up to any owner of an NFT collection. Finally, deployments will be open for anyone for a fee.

Fair Launch:
- Each token will launch at a starting marketcap of $50k, with all of the tokens added to the initial LP.
- For public launches, the deployer will also get 1% of the token included in the deploy fee.
- To deter snipers, buy fees will start at *95%* and decrease by 1% each minute, eventually resting at 10%.

All announcements will come only from the official @token_works account, and time will be announced in advance. Goal is to launch tomorrow, Sept 18th. Avoid scams and stay vigilant.

A few artworks from our free airdrop “Mirascapes” - an AI collection trained on the works of our founders and holders who submitted their artworks.

Below are a few pieces from the trait “Community + Cath Simard”

When I was going through my @TheMetaScapes recently I rediscovered my collection of Mirascapes and remembered I have this beauty (Mirascape 2) by @cathsimard_ which has a rarity of 1.

Thank you @5toutVault for collecting a total of 83 Metascapes!!! Absolute legend

The Metascapes #1037

One of the most minimalistic piece of the collection !

[CATH Simard @cathsimard_]

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to collaborate with a few incredible artists across different projects.

One of the most memorable was @TheMetaScapes, my first encounter with AI the first AI landscape collection generated from the work of photographers involved and trained AI models.

We created it in late 2021, as an experimental collaboration between myself, @ibelengurschi, @SHBackpacker, the talented AI engineers at @versus_xyz, and devs at @sloikaxyz. It was a bold attempt at blending real-world landscape photography with machine learning to imagine new, otherworldly environments.

I’ve been really happy to see the project getting some renewed attention lately, more collectors rediscovering the collection, and thoughtful conversations resurfacing around the intersection of photography and AI.

Watching a project that felt quite ahead still resonating years later is one of the most fulfilling parts of building something meaningful in this space.

[CATH Simard @cathsimard_]

One of my most inspiring artistic ventures in early 2022 was the collaborative AI project, @TheMetaScapes , alongside the brilliant minds of @ibelegurschi, @SHBackpacker, @versus_xyz, and @sloikaxyz.

Metascapes is a unique fusion of photography and artificial intelligence, crafted to bridge the gap between reality and synthetic dimension. We embarked on this journey by uploading the entire life's work of three landscape photographers, Iurie, Ryan and I, over 2,500 meticulously edited images onto the generative adversarial network of Versus Lab AI technology. This comprehensive dataset trained the GAN model to create realistic landscapes, incorporating the photographers’ distinctive styles, color palettes, and compositions.

Through this process, GAN has woven together experiences from every corner of the globe to generate a new world within the digital realm. Metascapes symbolizes the intersection of the real and the generated, capturing the delicate boundary between reality and unreality, with a touch of uncanny. Together, we curated the most captivating outputs from our model.

As one of the pioneering large-scale AI landscape projects, Metascapes remains a proud testament to pushing the boundaries of our artistic mediums.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported this journey and the project.
