DR_VRS - We Own The Night - 13 March 2023.mp4
Provide a summary of what you are building, including usage of the Tableland protocol.
We’ve learned a lot from building with TL and hope we can continue to learn and build with the protocol and team over the coming 6 months. We’re firm believers that the future of NFTs is mutable / composable and so are aiming to position ourselves and our collection to be a leading example of this.
We had some setbacks with our Smart Contractor being off for a number of weeks and IRL agency deadlines eating into our dev capacity at this end, but we’ve had a lot of fun working with the TL team. We’ve set up the first examples of how we will use the TL protocol and infrastructure - the example is using our existing PFP collection and adding them to ‘Race Passes’ a trading card type frame that will be used to add mutability to the PFPs, without affecting the core rarity or rank. As per the video example, you can claim X free passes depending on how many PFPs are in your wallet, then use the ‘claw machine’ device to assign these to race teams OR you can leave them unassigned and not tied to any particular team. The benefits of each option will be developed and explained as we begin to roll this out live.
Once the permits are assigned (or not) you can then drop in any of your DR/VRS PFPs to the permits to begin playing round with their layered assets and if any DR/VR is currently in-flight on a TL rig, we pull this into the permit (like the TL garages but in reverse). We also show the flight time on the race permit too. We intend to extend this to other projects in future and have the ability to show a number of vehicle types in the corner of the permit, alongside our own VEH/CLE collection we’re launching.
Being open, we didn’t finish what we aimed to accomplish but will continue to add mutability of the PFPs and work on what data sources we can pull into and record on the permits using the table structure (i.e. badges or updates based on Discord roles, other PFPs held in your wallet and more).
We can’t fault the TL team and their passion for what they do, their ability to help and explain processes throughout the program, knowledge of composability and the general attitude towards helping web2 agencies and developers such as us, transition into web3 and begin to push the boundaries of what NFTs are capable of. We see PFP NFTs as the first step ‘into the metaverse’ and a true representation of online digital identities, as such we believe they should not remain static and be able to mutate and adapt as the years unfold. We’re excited to continue to build and learn more - ‘ageing PFPs or rigs / vehicles’ is also a concept that came up while researching and developing with TL and we’ll continue to flesh this vision out and build examples of how this might work IRL.
