The Collective: NDC-Creatives DAO NFT Collection Proposal- July 2023
The Collective’s primary objective is to create a vibrant, diverse digital community on the NEAR blockchain. The initiative involves the development of a unique Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection dedicated to the NEAR Digital Collective (NDC). This effort aims to establish a thriving ecosystem encapsulating the dynamism of the NDC by leveraging the unique features of existing NFT collections, Creatives DAO’s innovative artistry, NDC’s rich workforce diversity, and the secure ‘iamhuman’ onboarding process.
Unique NFT Collection
The proposed NDC NFT collection will comprise 5,000 unique pieces, available exclusively to users who have successfully completed the ‘iamhuman’ onboarding process. Each NFT will be unique, incorporating traits from existing NFT collections, the artistic contributions from the Creatives DAO, and elements that represent various workgroups within the NDC on NEAR.
The Team
The Collective NFT Collection Project is a joint effort of NFT enthusiasts, OGs and NDC core contributors. Some of the people involved in this project are:
- Krikkraktrak - Community Manager to Mr. Brown and active NFT WG contributor

Value Proposition
Community Building and Governance
The project seeks to enhance collaboration and innovation by forming strategic alliances with all the existing NFT projects on NEAR and celebrating creativity. In addition, as people get more involved in the NDC ecosystem and unlock new roles, they will gain new NFT traits, adding more excitement and interest to the governance process, where the project will seek collaborations with Creatives DAO that will also help to enhance the awareness. To encourage participation and create a more accessible and equitable NFT landscape, the collection will feature a free minting process.
Brand awareness for CDAO
The Collective initiative is designed to contribute to community growth and foster active engagement among NDC members. By harnessing the potentials of NFTs, we aim to provide a visually engaging introduction to the NDC and Creatives DAO ecosystem and empower each member to actively shape the future of Near Ecosystem. The Collective NFT WG aims to support and raise awareness of creatives by (but not limited to) the following activities:
A contest for creatives for special traits with prizes. Traits can be minted by 5000 unique holders
Unique traits that reflect the creatives
A link to the Creative DAO’s preferred social media platforms on the marketing site.
Active Wallets and On-Chain Activity
The SBT gated mint ensures that 5000 NFTs are distributed to 5000 unique verified individuals, who will enjoy ongoing interactions through collaborations and new traits that can be unlocked over time.
