Nonconformist Ducks White Paper
I. Abstract
Nonconformist Ducks is a unique, deflationary NFT ecosystem based on a narrative of Ducks battling Hell Ducks to claim ownership of the pond. Our ecosystem consists of various collections with a set max supply, designed to provide both value and entertainment to holders. With engaging lore, participation in IP Rights, and a strong community focus, Nonconformist Ducks are more than a collection; it's a growing digital society.
II. The Ecosystem
Our ecosystem is made up of multiple deflationary collections:
The deflationary model arises from the various burn mechanisms within and across collections that not only evolve the aesthetics and rarity of the assets but also generate tokens and unlock special activities.
III. $QUACKS Tokenomics
$QUACKS, our native token, is integral to the Nonconformist Ducks economy. This deflationary token is obtained primarily through soft staking.
By holding your ducks, you earn $QUACKS daily, based on the type of assets that you hold. There is a finite supply of 400,000,000 $QUACKS, distributed as follows:
10% to Nonconformist Ducks treasury
90% to duck holders over 4 years or until 360,000,000 tokens have been issued.
The token will continue to burn until a supply of 180,000,000 is reached, at which point we shift to a balanced model.
IV. Gamification & Lore
Our ecosystem thrives on gamification. With races every Wednesday, the Eternal War twice a week, and several other activities, we offer holders the chance to win numerous prizes within the ecosystem.
V. IP Rights
We have created a decoupling platform that allows holders to extract traits from ducks and apply them to 4T ducks, both OG and Hell, through burning. We aim to work exclusively with this group on image rights deals, rewarding those who agree to the commercial use of their creations.
VI. The Social Factor
Nonconformist Ducks prides itself on being a strong, engaging social platform. We have one of the healthiest, most fun communities in the entire web3 ecosystem, with annual meet-ups around the Caribbean and daily quality interactions based on our lore.
VII. Future Directions
We are actively exploring IP rights deals that have the potential to open new avenues of revenue and increase the visibility of Nonconformist Ducks. We're unable to reveal specific details at this point, but we promise that our community will be the first to know when we're ready to share. We are also planning to release a merchandise line featuring our assets, which is designed to ensure that Nonconformist Ducks remains a project of value, engagement, and growth in the evolving NFT space.
