Our first land drop ever will be over San Francisco from May 23rd-27th!
Quadra is a blockchain-based app that encourages real-world exploration in exchange for Web3 rewards. Similar to the way in which Pokémon Go merged the real and digital worlds together, Quadra pushes people to seek out new and remote places around the physical world in exchange for digital blocks of land that can be collected, customized, and sold. Users compete to be the first to reach extreme locations, and the value of each token is tied to the energy, resources, and risks taken to physically travel to the location of each corresponding token.
More technically, the entire Earth is split up into 500x500 meter squares called Quads. A Quad square is a digital piece of real estate in the metaverse that is created when a user physically travels to the corresponding location on Earth. The value of a Quad square is determined by how difficult it is for an explorer to reach it and by its notable landmarks. In the same way a Bitcoin is valuable because it takes immense computational and energy costs to mine one coin, the value of each NFT comes from the time, effort, and energy required to travel there to mint it. There are 5 types of rarity (common, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary). Each land Drop has very few legendary squares.
Once you own a Quad square, you can leave a part of yourself behind in the metaverse by customizing your space with anything you desire. Explorers are rewarded for their adventures with a permanent royalty. This means every time the land is sold, the original explorer of the land (the one who minted the NFT) gets a percentage of the sale.
When a user first downloads the app, the entire world will be locked. Chunks of Earth will be unlocked in Drops every few weeks. The first Drop is scheduled to be on May 20th over San Francisco. Once a chunk of Earth is unlocked, users have 7 days to claim the squares before the land is locked again. Once you claim a square you can begin customizing and trading it.
Phase 1: Foundation.
Initial drops of land are in large cities around the globe to give urban explorers their first taste of adventure.
Phase 2: Expansion.
The most daring among us will compete to capture land in the world's most remote, exotic, and extreme locations.
Phase 3: Utilization.
Accomplished explorers and owners of rare land will gain early access to experience upgrades inside and outside of the Quadraverse.
Phase 4: Specialization.
The realization of Web 3.0 will bring the Quadraverse to full maturity with integrated VR and blockchain-wide interoperability.
