Currently we are Offering the Holders totally Free NFTs from new Projects which They can Sell for a Profit — Creator's Interview

Chris: Hi there! How are you? What's your name? 

Paul: My name is Mutahir Paul. Owner and founder of the NFT Assets Lab which owns the Sheikhs NFT. Most of my experience comes from the ecommerce sector. I have run multiple successful ecommerce stores,amazon stores and b2b wholesale businesses.

Chris: The Sheikhs are following the Cryptosheikhs. After the resounding success of the predecessors, what was the idea behind the development of the Sheikhs?

Paul: The collection has a total of 1000 NFTs. Living in Dubai I came to know about NFTs around April 2021 and was pretty intrigued by the CryptoPunks. I wondered if there was something that represented the Arab world in terms of NFTs but I didn't find something solid at that point. So the idea of an Arabic character came to my mind. Launched it in June 2021 on our own website/marketplace but later moved it to OpenSea later.

Chris: What are your expectations from the Sheikh NFT? Have you priced them at a premium expecting good demand?

Paul: The Sheikhs is a long term project and most holders are long term. We wanna create a strong holder community that helps boost the floor in the long term. CryptoSheikhs/The Sheikhs is the very first Pixel art collection from Dubai and marks and represents a point in time. We have priced it pretty low 0.21 ETH(as compared to the floor a while ago)because we want more holders to join and help take this project forward. The floor prices reached around 1.11 ETH starting from just 0.0004 ETH floor in June. So I am pretty confident  in myself and the people working along with me that we can take this way higher.

Chris: Furthermore, how are the Sheikhs unique and different from each other and their predecessors?

Paul: All 1000 CryptoSheikhs/Sheikhs are different from each other and unique in their own way with plenty of characteristics and accessories to differentiate each.

Chris: So, what do you plan to do with the sale proceeds from the Sheikhs NFT? Do you have any charitable initiatives as well?

Paul: Most of the proceeds from the Sheikhs are used for marketing the project and building side projects that will benefit the holders. There is an Orphanage in Uganda which I supported before starting the Sheikhs NFT and as a holder you automatically become a supporter for 20 orphan kids of the orphanage.

Chris: Additionally, what are some of the rare traits of the Sheikh NFT? Do you also have a rarity chart?

Paul: We do have a rarity chart for the collection but as per what we have seen so far most people get the one that represents them well. Rarity will be published on all major rarity tools soon. The rarest ones are the ones with unique head scarves and glasses.

Chris: Your team has been quite successful in the NFT marketplace? Who are the members of the core group and how do they contribute towards the development of the Sheikhs?

Paul: NFT Assets is all about NFTs and we started out as a marketplace for other creators helping them run and promote their collections. In terms of the CryptoSheikhs collection I do have a lot of people working with me on the side in terms of promotion,technical and content creation side but the core team only consists of myself at the moment since i started it alone as a side project but as the collection grows I will be adding more core members that will help us with the marketing of the collection on a  bigger scale.

Chris: Finally, what is your roadmap for the future? When is your next collection drop?

Paul: The main goal of the collection is to generate a timeless asset. The older it gets the more valuable it becomes. This NFT will become an access key to multiple projects in the augmented reality world and the NFT world. Currently we are offering the holders totally FREE NFTs from new projects that are dropped by us which they can sell for a profit. We have lauched a token called Jumeriah(JRA) for the Sheikhs (currently priced at $10)and multiple play to earn games coming after the drops. Currently we will be dropping batches of 50 or more. Each drop will be priced higher than the last. Our Website, Twitter, Instagram & Discord is the best way to stay informed on news and announcements.
