When compared to a regular NFT project, Shabangrs has quite the unique approach to NFTs. For starters, it is a photography-inspired collection of 10,000 NFTs created in honor of photographers from across the globe. While artists and creators have long been recognized in the NFT space, photographers and their art are still on the back burner, and now, Shabangrs aims to change that. But that’s not all.
Alongside being a futuristic NFT project, Shabangrs is also building a photography metaverse called Shabangrsville. This ambitious project was envisioned by the renowned photographer Peter Hurley who realized that the next step in the evolution of photography was going to be on the blockchain via NFTs. And Shabangrs is the first step in that direction.
The vibrant collection of 10,000 photography-inspired NFTs brings the best of photography onto a single platform. Not just photographers but anyone even remotely interested in photography would be able to find and own a uniquely curated piece of art. Everyone who owns an NFT on this platform is automatically considered to be a citizen of Shabangrsville, giving them access to the best photographers, creatives, and resources in the world.
Apart from this, these NFTs are dynamic in nature and come with exclusive lifetime perks that the NFT owners can claim. These perks include special offers, giveaways, access to official merchandise, and headshot crew memberships. Users have the choice to choose whether or not they want to claim the perk, where claiming the perk reduces the rarity. In turn, the value of the NFT also decreases, but the perks are worth the trade-off. However, if the user chooses not to claim the perk, the value of the NFT and its rarity are retained and can be sold on NFT marketplaces. The cherry on the cake is that a percentage of all NFT sales will be directed towards a charity that teaches photography to refugee children.
An NFT project like this could be truly revolutionary for the photography space, recognizing the work of photographers and giving a platform for them to truly shine. The project has a robust roadmap in place to ensure speedy development and distribution of perks.
