Near Future is NEAR’s first evolving Tribal RPG. NF: Primal is the first chapter in this brand new evolving universe, with a hand-drawn set of 3,500 unique ‘post-historic’ Nearbot NFTs at its core.
Made possible by the NEAR Foundation and powered by Web3 Design & Marketing Collective Zebu Digital, the Near Future series aims to evolve the NEAR NFT ecosystem with a tribal role-playing game (RPG), the first iteration of which will be built to run natively in Discord.
The game invites the community to shape the game-world’s history together through their collective decisions. With its innovative “deflationary evolution” mechanic and multi-year vision, Near Future will reward early discoverers and incentivise long-term engagement.
NEAR
Near Future is built on the NEAR blockchain. NEAR provides simple, secure and scalable technology with the aim to empower users & holders alike to invent and explore new experiences throughout the ecosystem. NEAR runs jointly with Ethereum, Cosmos and more to facilitate the free flow of assets and communication between networks to benefit the community. NEAR prides itself for its high speeds, progressive UX and extremely low fees, creating a space that is prepared to eliminate the Web3 adoption barriers.
The Mission
The Zebu team is on a mission to demonstrate NEAR as a top-tier NFT ecosystem with an engaging, ever-evolving and multi-year NFT-as-a Service platform. They aim to empower the community to collaboratively build the Near Future universe together whilst rewarding them for doing so in many ways.
The Core
1 New World. 4 Classes. 8 Hidden Attributes. 7 Tribes. 3,500 Evo.I Nearbot NFTs.
Evo.I Nearbot NFTs for NEAR: Available on 1st March at https://nearfuture.world/
Classes’ attributes can be developed over time based on the player’s action within the Tribal RPG.
At the heart of it all, Near Future is built as an open ecosystem to be governed and evolved by the community. NEAR itself promotes collaboration rather than competition which makes it stand out from other blockchains.
Near Future will be introducing voting rights in the Discord RPG game. The beauty about it is, not only will Nearbot holders be allowed to partake in the voting, but holders of other partnered NFT projects on the NEAR Blockchain will also be able to participate in building Near Future through their unique partial-voting system.
How it works
Zebu have partnered up with TENK DAO to ensure a smooth and secure mint of their Evo.I Nearbots. TENK have proven themselves as market leaders after their exceptional work on Near Misfits, Near Meerkat Kingdom, Near Tiger Academy and Mr. Brown.
Mint Details: On 1st March Evo.I Nearbots will be available for public and private mint
Pre-Sale Access: WL spots grants you access to the Evo.I Nearbot pre-sale.
To secure whitelist spots to the Near Future: Primal series players can;
- Buy them from Near Future’s Discord shop using their in-game currency
- Positively engage with the Near Future community (art creation/conversations /guide)
- Win WL giveaways from their Twitter & Discord, and from partnered projects
Burn & Evolve: Evo.I Nearbots will be the first in a long line of Nearbots.
At the birth of each Era, Nearbot NFT holders will be given the opportunity to sacrifice their Old-Evo Nearbot in exchange for the latest Evo Nearbot. Over time this burning mechanism will cultivate extreme scarcity in the oldest evo Nearbots, especially for the Cyborg Nearbots as only 167 of them will ever exist.
Tribal RPG: Lead your Tribe and get access to exclusive content
Starting off as a !dice whitelist game, the Near Future Discord will evolve into a command-based tribal game for Nearbot holders and partnered projects.
Inspiring to be an ever-evolving experience, at the dawn of each Era, the RPG will undergo new art design, NFTs and game mechanics, ensuring the gaming experience is always kept fresh and engaging.
More details about the game mechanics will be released soon, so make sure to follow the Near Future Twitter page and turn on post notifications, to be the first to hear about the latest news. In the meantime make sure to choose your tribe in the Near Future Discord!
The Roadmap
Near Future is set to progress along a multi-year roadmap with the community at the heart of it.
Striving forward into 2022 and beyond, Zebu will live under the philosophies of;
- Always evolving as a team and project
- Surprising & delighting holders/players instead of overpromising
- Ensuring the community’s voice is valued and heard
- Fostering a collaborative and open environment for players/creators/friends
Near Future’s roadmap beyond the evolutions and discord RPG has been locked up tight, but Zebu will be revealing their secrets as the mint day dawns ever closer.
