The Main Idea of the Paladin Penguin Club is to Build a big Community, we are not Another Project that will Disappear after the Public Launch II Founder's Interview

Chris: Hello there. Thanks for doing this. Can you tell us about yourself? 

Ilia: My name is Ilia aka Founder Penguin. I'm the CEO of a big crypto investment company based in Europe. Being for a long time in the crypto world, I always had some interest in NFTs. Started by collecting rare NFTs, but after seeing project after project fail to even survive for one month after the public release, I decided to make my own NFT project with the idea to build a big community and to thrive in the Metaverse!

Chris: The Paladin Penguins are not just another artwork NFT. What is different about Paladin Penguins? How would you describe your concept of the Penguin NFT?

Ilia: What's different, huh. The main idea of the Paladin Penguin Club is to build a big community, we are not another project that will disappear after the public launch. We are not going to take any revenue from the mint, most of the money is going back to the holders, charity donations and invested in development to keep the project alive and going!

Chris: The Paladin Penguins will have a merch drop immediately after release. What are you merchandising?

Ilia: As stated in our roadmap our  collection will only be available to our holders and will include T-shirts, hats, and hoodies, all for free! As well as, we will have limited time merch that will be available to everyone! We will choose 400 most active holders to win exclusive Paladin Penguin handcrafted sculptures. Isn’t that awesome!? Moreover, the team will send gifts to a charity organisation, and kids will feel the love from your wonderful gifts.

Chris: Subsequently, you are infusing $150,000 into marketing. How do you plan to market Paladin Penguin NFT??

Ilia: To start off, that amount is only for social media marketing to keep the hype around the Paladin Penguins. The big game will start at our LIVE game announcement party, where you will be shocked to find out who will be our surprise guest! We are here to take over, our Penguins will be featured multiple times in NEW YORK TIMES SQUARE and we are already organising worldwide tournaments/events for our gamers!



In addition to that, we are buying a huge land plot in the SandBox. And we will be implementing a token staking economy to reward our holders. 

Chris: Paladin Penguin NFT holders are entitled to a Paladin Penguin Club. What are the key and unique benefits of club membership?

Ilia: As stated before, we will have parties and clubhouses worldwide. Every holder is invited to monthly parties where they'll get to meet famous celebrities, athletes, investors. As well as, every party/meeting will have a sort of lottery system, where every holder gets a chance to win exclusive prizes.

The SandBox. We are buying massive land pieces in the SandBox. Holders will get exclusive access to our lands. The Paladin Penguin Club has the making to dominate in every aspect.

Never forgetting the main reason for the project. When we say it's for the whole community, we really mean it. Worldwide tournaments for our gamers, huge streams, massive arenas and more! We have the ambition to create the next REVOLUTIONAL game, and our holders will have the most important job inside it!

Chris: When do the Paladin Penguins go up for the first public sale? What will be the minting price for each NFT? How much are the associated gas fee?

Ilia: That's a great question. Our pre-sale is set to be on the 14th of January, but gas fees are not a walk in the park. We have implemented a system that helps us understand when gas prices are at minimum, we don't want our community getting upset over gas fees. If the prices get ridiculous we will postpone the mint date and try to minimise the losses for our community.

Minting prices will be: 0.08eth for Pre-Sale
                                   0.1eth for Public-Sale
(For more detailed information about minting dates join our Discord  or Twitter )

Chris: Paladin Penguins claim a high 10% proportion as royalties. How are these royalties utilized?

Ilia: Most of the royalties will go directly to a charity that our holders will choose during our in person meeting. Practically on every party/meeting we will organise charity donations.
Again, as stated above. We have the ambition to dominate the Metaverse, no money is coming back to the team. Our main goal is our community. The Public launch and the royalties will 100% go to the development of the project. The percentage will decrease over time.

Chris: Finally, there is artwork, merchandising, game, rewards, club, and even a 3D characterization expected in Season 2? When should we expect the second innings of Paladin Penguins? How will it be different?

Ilia: Yep, you heard that! 3D Paladin Penguins, cute and dangerous. We plan to reach a 100% modelization of the New Paladin Penguins. This will allow you to move 360º around your Penguin and appreciate close ups of all details. That alone will revolutionise the NFT industry, and bring a new generation of arts. Season 2 is expected in q2 of 2022, right before our massive game reveal!
