Overview of the Moonbirds NFT Collection

Moonbirds is a collection of 10,000 PFP (Profile Picture) NFTs featuring birds designed in Pixel Style with various expressions and accessories. Moonbirds was created with the mission of forming a community where collectors, creatives, and dreamers can connect and work together to build an artistic future on the Web3 platform.

Moonbirds launched in April 2022 during the peak of the NFT craze across the entire crypto market. Similar to many NFT collections at that time, Moonbirds belongs to the category of PFP NFT projects.

Each feature has varying degrees of rarity, which affects the value of each Moonbirds NFT. Consequently, the value of each NFT differs. For example, birds with Jade Green, Glitch Red, Enlightened Purple, and Cosmic Purple backgrounds are extremely rare, with only 6 of each kind in existence, and almost no owners willing to sell them. Only two, #2080 and #2941, are listed for sale, each priced at over 100 ETH.

Utilities of Moonbirds NFTs

When users hold one or more Moonbirds NFTs, they receive several special benefits, including:

Customizable Avatars: Your avatar can be customized.

Community Membership: Join the Moonbirds community on Discord and Twitter as a Collector on the PROOF platform.

Nesting Rewards: When your bird nests, meaning you lock your NFT for a longer period, the better the nest becomes. While nesting, you have the chance to receive airdrops from the platform in the future.

Art & Collectible Drops: Exclusive digital rewards for Moonbirds holders, with various tiers in upcoming events.

Lunar Society Membership: Become a member of the Lunar Society to collaborate on entrepreneurial ventures.

Digital & IRL Events: Participate in private events with the Moonbirds development team.

Distinctive Features of the Moonbirds NFT Collection

Quality of NFTs: All 10,000 NFTs are distributed under a Creative Commons (CC0) license, meaning creators can use the NFTs to build and develop their own products.

Nesting Concept: When you lock your NFT and refrain from selling it on the market, this action, known as “Nesting” in Moonbirds terminology, is akin to staking or locking in DeFi. The longer you lock your NFT, the more your nest upgrades over time, with the following levels:

• Straw Nest: Lock NFT for 0 days

• Bronze Nest: Lock NFT for 30 days

• Silver Nest: Lock NFT for 60 days

• Gold Nest: Lock NFT for 90 days

• Diamond Nest: Lock NFT for 180 days

Moonbirds DAO (Lunar Society): The Moonbirds DAO operates under the principle of elevating the Moonbirds brand globally, beyond the NFT space. The Lunar Society is committed to supporting projects that meet their goals, such as:

• Developing the Moonbirds and Mythics brands within and outside the crypto space.

• Providing experiences for Moonbirds and Mythics holders.

Development Roadmap

Upcoming Mythics Collection: In the near future, all nesting birds will have the opportunity to receive an NFT from the new Moonbirds collection called Mythics.

Previous Airdrops: Previously, Moonbirds has airdropped the Moonbirds Oddities collection to their users.

Core Team

Moonbirds NFT Collection: The Moonbirds NFT collection is released by PROOF Collective, an NFT investment community founded by notable NFT investors Kevin Rose and Justin Mezzell. PROOF Collective operates as a DAO, managed by holders of the PROOF Collective NFTs, with a total of only 1,000 NFTs. At its peak in late April 2022, the price of a single PROOF Collective NFT reached as high as 140 ETH.

Successful Implementation: Leveraging its reputation, PROOF Collective has successfully launched Moonbirds, positioning it as one of the leading NFT collections. At times, Moonbirds has even outperformed other prominent collections like BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club) and MAYC (Mutant Ape Yacht Club).
