Born in Taiwan and raised in the United States of America, Jake is the founder of this project. He has over 5 years of experience in online software development and has co-founded multiple successful online businesses.
Jake: Pixel art has always been a favourite art style for our team. We are able to use the simplest of grids to express our artwork. We chose the tiger as our theme because it is a symbol of beauty, seriousness which are also valued strongly embodied in the Asian culture. The Chinese character "Tiger" has a very early origin, and many Chinese artistic themes are related to the tiger.
Coincidentally, this is the year of the Tiger, which made it all the more perfect for the team and I to launch this Tiger NFT and grow stronger together.
Chris: A Royal Tiger Empire NFT has various features. Which ones are unique and rare? Please identify some for the readers.
Jake: Every piece of Tiger artwork is unique. However, some of them are relatively rarer than others. We have also developed some customized collections based on world-renowned celebrities that are related to “tiger”. For example Tiger Woods, Tiger King - Joe Exotic, Mike Tyson, Snoop Dog, and more.
On top of this, we also created a series of characters based on Jason Voorhee and SAW. My personal favorites are Snoop Dog and Mike Tyson, both of whom are very influential figures in the cryptocurrency world.
Chris: Would you be having a presale or a whitelist? When is the public launch of the token?
As for the pre-sale, in view that this is the year of the tiger, we decided to bring forward the project launch to the end of January, in time for the Chinese New Year celebrations.
The final pre-sale details will be announced on our Discord channel, so stay tuned!
Chris: Furthermore, what will be the minting cost of a token?
Chris: I see, so how does one mint a Royal Tiger Empire NFT?
Jake: The Royal Tiger Empire NFT is built on the Solana chain and requires Sol coins to purchase. As such, we recommend our prospects pre-populate their wallets with Sol coins.
For those unfamiliar with crypto wallets that support Sol, we recommend using Phantom Wallet. Once you've set up the wallet, visit our website at rtenft.io and click "Connect". Once connected, you'll be able to perform the "Mint" action on launch day.
To learn more, kindly join our Discord,Twitter or visit our website, where you'll find all the information you need.
Chris: Why do you think the Solana Blockchain suits your NFT? Are you aiming for low gas fees?
Jake: Yes, a low gas fee is definitely one of our main considerations as we wanted Tiger Empire NFT to be affordable for the general public.
The team also believes that Solana is a highly promising new blockchain project with its greatest strength being its fast transfer speeds and low gas fees.
Given its potential as a new blockchain project and how it was previously being underestimated, the team decided to tap onto the Solana chain to grow together.
Chris: We read that there are airdrops of tiger queens expected sometime in near future. What else is lined up for the investors of Royal Tiger Empire NFTs?
Jake: In view that RTE tokens carry a value of their own, we aim to develop a Play-to-Earn project in the near future. Through this project, RTE holders will be able to exchange RTE tokens SOLs.
We can't stress this enough, but do join our Discord where you can play a part in building the future of this project.
Chris: Finally, you seem to have quite an extensive team. Please introduce us to your core members and highlight their contributions towards Royal Tiger Empire NFT
