We will Allow the Community to Decide to Which Charities, we will Donate β€” Founder's Interview

Howdy fellows! Today we are sitting down with Stefan Creadore, Founder & Developer of Exzo Network NFT.

Professional background: Master of Science in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology. He was the lead bioinformatics scientist for a children’s hospital and focused on developing their whole genomic sequencing pipeline from sampling saliva to sequencing their DNA to discovering mutations in their DNA that provoked rare diseases in children.

He also has been published in some of the top scientific journals for research relating to Alzheimer’s, ALS, Cancer and more.

Chris: Exzo Network NFT represents Exzonauts that will travel through space. What is the story behind the inspiration for these NFTs?

Stefan: The story behind the Exzonaut’s is that we are all a community of individuals participating in the advancement of technology that is moving towards interplanetary travel and space exploration. The Exzonaut’s represent the rich individuals who invested in crypto being bored amongst space that have a diverse outlook on interplanetary travel and as we progress further throughout the universe we discover different types of traits, items, upgrades, and mutations. This will lead up to the FREE unmasked Exzonaut people can mint when owning 2 Exzonaut’s, which will be released upon minting out of the Exzonaut’s.

The Exzo community is a strong established family that all support each other in an anti-scam environment. We call it a safe place for crypto.

Our overall goals are to finish building out our multi-chian crypto wallet that features a decentralized exchange (DEX), NFT marketplace, voting platform, and live market data/price charts on IOS & Android devices. It’s currently undergoing Alpha testing and we plan to proceed with Beta testing shortly after the launch of our NFT’s, where Exzonaut holders will get a first look at the app by being able to become a Beta tester.

We are also planning to build out a blockchain that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) that will have lower cost transactions, almost instant transactions/transfers, and have high scalability. Exzonaut holders will be able to become the first node validators on our blockchain by holding the NFT for 6+ Months. This will let the individuals get our native blockchain token for free that they can then stake to earn rewards for validating transactions/blocks on our blockchain.

Chris: Whitelisting for the Exzo Network has begun and there are 500 of them available. How does one sign up for a place in the whitelist?

Stefan: There are currently 500 whitelist spots that will be expanded to 1,500. The first 500 spots are for the early supporters to secure their spot in the minting of Exzonaut’s. They can gain this guaranteed whitelist spot by filling out the form in our discord under the “Whitelist form” channel.

Chris: The Exzo Network has a private community that will be available only to the Exzo holders. What are the key benefits of being a part of this community?

Stefan: The benefits of joining this community include gaining access to special networking groups, gaining collaboration from other Exzonaut holders, having the ability to be apart of an exclusive group of individuals, and we are looking into developing a virtual reality/metaverse place where these individuals will be able to interact, play games, network, and potentially utilize our multi-chain wallet/decentralized exchange/nft marketplace. We haven’t conducted the discovery phase for this yet so the costs and time estimation for this are unclear at the time, but it’s definitely something we are interested in and looking into.

Chris: Apart from this, Exzo Network NFT has some unique traits and features. How does one define the rare characteristics? Do you have a reference chart of some sort for the investors?

Stefan: We will have our own rarity calculator build by the end of our mint and reveal, but the rarity’s can be broken down into different levels.

  1. Helmet style. There will be a base helmet style and then there will be several rare and legendary helmet styles throughout the collection.
  2. Spacesuit color will be a determining factor in rarity as the golden and galaxy spacesuits will have a higher rarity/legendary status compared to the other colors.
  3. The accessories the Exzonaut has will also hold different types of rarities, along with their combinations.
  4. The background color will also have different rarity levels.
  5. Pets. The super rare/legendary Exzonaut’s will have a parrot or Doge pet on their shoulder.

Chris: Evidently, owning rare tokens is beneficial over regular tokens. What will be the starting prices for the tokens?

Stefan: The rare tokens will be in higher demand as there will be 10 1-of-1’s in the collection and there will be the ability to access exclusive features/benefits within the community, but this will be decided at a later date. Currently the Exzonaut holders will be able to receive an unspecified amount of our native blockchain tokens for free once the blockchain is released to become node validators and help us secure the blockchain network through a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

The token price is TBA due to Ethereum’s current volatility. Our Website, Twitter & Discord is the best way to stay informed on news and announcements.

Chris: How many such Exzo Network NFTs will be released on Ethereum? Do you also have a minting limit per user?

Stefan: The collection size will be 5,000.

Max mint per whitelist user/wallet will be 2 Exzonaut’s.

Chris: Before we close, please share some of your plans for Exzo Network NFT here.

Stefan: We will begin filling up 500 Whitelist spots with active community members, Whitelist spot winners, and more. This will give people access to our Locked Discord and/or a spot on the Whitelist. We will also release the official launch date once the 500 spots are filled.

We begin the minting of Exzonaut's each through our minting dApp. This will last until the sale of the Exzonaut's is complete.

We will reveal the NFT art collection 24 hours after the minting has been completely minted out. We will also post our collection on rarity tools & other platforms.

We release the Exzonaut's lost in space. 10 super rare Exzonaut's (NFT's held back from the sale) are airdropped to random Exzonaut holders. These will be extremely rare and 1 of a kind.

Member, Exclusive EXZO Merch Store gets unlocked, featuring Limited Edition t-shirts, hoodies, and other goodies.

Member, Exclusive chat room is open to gain access to private discussions, events, and networking opportunities exclusively for Exzonaut NFT owners.

We will allow users to access our ExzoSwap non-custodial multi-chain crypto wallet, NFT Marketplace, and Decentralized Exchange (DEX). Once our current Alpha testing is completed.

We will begin looking into how to establish NFT games and getting involved in the metaverse with Exzonaut's. We plan to build a VR city for the EXZO community where we can chat, play games, and much more.

10 ETH giveaway to 10 randomly selected Exzonaut owners. Each randomly selected Exzonaut owner will get gifted 1 ETH. Once we are completely minted out.

The Exzonaut's Unmasked collection will be released allowing Exzonaut owners with at least 2 Exzonaut's to mint an unmasked Exzonaut with unique traits. The Exzonaut's Unmasked collection will consist of 1,000 Unmasked Exzonaut's with different rarity levels. 25 random Exzonaut owners of any amount of Exzonaut's will be airdropped a FREE Exzonaut Unmasked NFT.

Launch of our community philanthropies through our community vote. We will allow the community to decide which charities, projects, and more that we donate towards to give back to the world. We are currently looking into Ukraine crypto donations, college education scholarships, and cancer research.

We will begin building out the Exzo Network Blockchain that will be secure, fast, and have low transactions fee's. People holding an Exzonaut for 3+ Months will be able to become the first node validators on the blockchain to earn rewards for validating transactions on the blockchain.

We will work to build a 3D virtual world clubhouse/city for the EXZO community to meet up, interact, network, and attend events all within the Metaverse.
