Chris: Crypto-Monster Lab NFT is not just another artwork NFT. They want to bring the characters into their P2E game. Please elaborate on your take on the Crypto-Monster Lab NFTs.
Santiago: No, we're not doing a P2E game, this describes what we intend to do with the CryptoMonster Lab:
CryptoMonster token holders can bring two of their CryptoMonsters and combine them to create a new hybrid species. The two original CryptoMonsters will be burnt creating a deflationary mechanism. In return they will have a new and more rare hybrid species. The rarity of your new creation will also depend on how rare the original CryptoMonsters are. Some of the new species created in the lab will be used in the comic book that will be airdropped to CML token holders.
Chris: You seem to be laying special focus on your early investors. How can I get on to your whitelist?
Santiago: The pre-sale list closed last night :(

Chris: Briefly, please summarise your roadmap for the next six months. What are some of your key milestones?
Santiago: The CryptoMonster Lab will be open for everyone to experiment on their monsters and create an entire new species in Q2. But that’s not all you’ll be able to do in the lab, some activities that will take place in the lab include breeding, mutations, monster takeover, burning, staking and rewards for your monster collections. We want the community to have a voice in the direction of the lab, this lab is made for you, what do you want to do in the lab? We plan on constantly adding new experiments to the lab that will take the scientific community by storm.
We’re gonna have merch, these handsome CryptoMonsters need to be transferred to apparel that will end up on your torso or head (not in a weird lab experiment way, we’re still talking about apparel here.) Our CryptoMonsters want to have their stories shared with the world, we’ll explore their backstories and how the lab was created in the CryptoMonster Lab comic book
