Introduction:
We are excited to build on our previous work with Aurora Community DAO with a grant proposal aimed at launching the Near KNYTS community through the creation of self-sovereign KNYT identities, giving away metaKnyts NFT KNYT Posters and anime and personalized avatars, in an engaging competition. This initiative seeks to Nerians into the metaKnyts storyworld, foster community engagement, and promote self-sovereignty within the Near ecosystem.
Project Objectives:
- Enable users to register and claim a unique @KNYT name and automatically be assigned corresponding .aurora and .near IDs as self-sovereign identities.
- Allow users to claim one of three KNYT Posters, featuring characters from the metaKnyts saga and a corresponding episode of the metaKnyts anime.
- Enable users to create photo-realistic avatars of themselves for use in the metaKnyts game, story world, and metaVerse.
- Launch a competition where Near KNYTS holders can participate by tweeting their @KNYT Names, with the top 18 tweeted @KNYT Names earning a place in the metaKnyts story world, AI agent and game.
Implementation Plan:
-
Self-Sovereign Identity Creation: Develop a platform where users can register and claim a unique @KNYT name. Upon registration, users will automatically be assigned corresponding .aurora and .near IDs as self-sovereign identities. This platform will prioritize user privacy and data security, ensuring a seamless and secure registration process.
-
KNYT Poster Claim: Create a collection of three KNYT Posters, featuring iconic characters from the metaKnyts saga. For a limited time, users will have the opportunity to claim one of these posters, which will be randomly assigned and a corresponding metaKnyts anime according to which avatar you win, adding a personalized touch to their Near KNYTS experience. These posters will be available digitally and as limited-edition physical prints.
-
Avatar Creation: Implement a feature that allows users to create photo-realistic avatars of themselves for use in the metaKnyts game, storyworld, and metaVerse. This customization option will enhance user engagement and immersion within the Near KNYTS community, fostering a sense of identity and belonging.
-
@KNYT Name Competition: Launch a Twitter competition where Near KNYTS holders can participate by tweeting their @KNYT Name using a specific hashtag. The top 18 tweeted @KNYT Names will be immortalized in the metaKnyts game, enhancing community involvement and excitement.
