LUART: NFTs Meet Gamification
NFTs and NFT market places are continuing to emerge and with each iteration they are driving forth a change in the purpose and role of NFTs. From a humble beginning of multivendor marketplaces with the ability to host auctions and artists able to sell collections, to now launching NFT games and even virtual worlds.
If the Metaverse is something that will arise than it is safe to say that it will do so through the world of NFTs as that seems to be where a lot of the action is taking place. It can also be challenging if you're in the market of assessing possible candidates for Metaverse capabilities to determine what project will successfully be able to do so. With most projects launching today alleging that they are developing a metaverse. Perhaps there will be more than one?
Metaverse Launchpad
If a Metaverse is to emerge than it will need to launch from somewhere and currently Terra (Luna) Network is drawing all the new age web3 projects and with that I would like to introduce you to the latest iteration of NFT's LUART.
LUART brings rewards into the world of NFT by providing incentives to users who buy, sell and trade on their platform. This further extends to play to earn and NFT farming which is a developing model within the NFT sector. LUART will incentivise their users by offering LUA power which is earned by engaging with the platform in various ways.
Building your LUA power comes with benefits such as the ability to win rare NFTs and redeem whitelists for up and coming NFT launches on the platform. This feature will greatly benefit users who are keen on getting in on a certain NFT project but may not be able to purchase it when it goes live. With the use of LUA power whitelisting your position means you'll never miss that rare NFT you have had your eyes on source. LUA power can also be used to unlock rare items by using LUA to open LUART boxes which provide players the ability to unlock rare NFTs.
The other benefit of LUART is their unique launchpad which enables each project to customise their UI to deliver the best possible experience for their customers. Projects launching on LUART will be able to add project time lines and a number of other core features.
CEO with a vision for the Metaverse
In a recent introductory the LUART CEO, Szymon Przybylski stated that his ultimate goal in life is to have everyone hooked up to the metaverse. Szymon is no stranger to Blockchain development as he worked as a fullstack developer and founder where he built a SaaS and an e-commerce company which he sold to venture into cryptocurrency source.
LUART is a brand new projects so is in the perfect position for those wanting to watch a project grow in its infancy with only being half way through Phase 1 however, the project has already successfully launched LUNI and currently has an entire HellCats collection listed which can be viewed here.
The next NFT launch is of dystopAI's launching on 20 January 2022 which takes a dive into an apocalyptic Earth that lost its moon and has now completely altered its landscape. With only 750 mints the project is looking to be a success as community members appear to be interested in its launch source.
Gamified Minting
Minting NFTs is quite impressive also as the entire process is turned into a game with a power bar that fills up and completes once minting is processed and finalised. Unfortunately there is one set back with some users reporting that as they waited for the bar to fill and received a completion notification their NFT was sold out as someone else had commenced minting a few seconds before them.
Minting NFTs will earn you LUA and some NFTs will have power ups that give you increased LUA rewards.
The current LUART community in their official Discord is 9,000 strong with activity sitting at around 2000 people online which provides a good core user base and many are positive towards LUART.

The team consists of a number of blockchain experienced people with also people from marketing. I was interested with their developers and reached out to the project to talk about LUART and I was excited to see that there was an interview undertaken with the UI/UX team which can be read Here
LUART is set to be the first gamified NFT launchpad and market store leading a new age of NFT utility and gamification. Built on the Terra Network fees are low and TX are fast. The project looks promising especially as they will be the first to implement such a unique NFT vendor site.
