IBC Frens is a collection of Alien (and frens) characters, so-called doodle art merged with Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas. These are space travelling aliens and frens, exploring and building all over the IBC (mainly through IBCNFTs.com).

The concept of a world's first DPO is in the works, where community and the IBC Frens NFT collection is at the core.

Learn more by reading 'Benefits', 'Community', and reviewing our 'Space Chart' and downloading our 'Spacelogs'.

IBC Frens are part-owners of IBCNFTs.com, where we build resources and provide value through the platform (products & services) and our growing community. As a result, IBC Frens DAO can generate revenue and benefits from those operations.

It's still early days in our lifetime journey. So far, the passive income from holding IBC Frens NFTs are limited to validator commission refunds and airdrops from revenue extracted from the IBCNFTs.com incubator program, and revenue from advertisements on IBCNFTs.com.

As our project grows, we'll create additional revenue streams which will continue to reward IBC Frens NFT holders through so called "revdrops".

Besides what's listed below, IBC Frens regularly have community events with prizes, regular raffles and other fun stuff that reward holders. More on that in the next section of this page.

Validator commission refunds 📡

Currently, IBC Frens are securing several networks in the IBC ecosystem through IBCNFTs.com. We are actively looking at new opportunities to expand our active set, where each new validator slightly increases the utility of holding IBC Frens NFTs while staking and earning rewards.

The validator commission refund structure looks as follows:

• 1x IBC Frens NFT = 10% validator commission refund.
• 2x IBC Frens NFT = 20% validator commission refund.
• 3x IBC Frens NFT = 30% validator commission refund.
• 4x IBC Frens NFT = 40% validator commission refund.
• 5x IBC Frens NFT = 50% validator commission refund.

Refunds are based on commission you paid while actively staking in IBCNFTs.com validators (on a monthly basis).

Currently, we have active validator nodes in Stargaze, Sifchain, and BitCanna. You can delegate through the links below.

Revdrops 💰

Revdrop is a term we coined, essentially it's an airdrop based on revenue generated in IBC Frens and IBCNFTs.com. Since airdrop is a general term we want to specify the specific dynamics of this utility of the IBC Frens NFT.

When asked "what is the utility of IBC Frens?" - revdrop is what we consider to be the main benefit alongside the community and being part of building in the IBC ecosystem with passionate frens.

As mentioned, revdrop is based on revenue generated in our project. This includes %APR generated from staked funds, secondary market proceeds from IBC Frens NFT, IBCNFTs.com validator operations, fees and proceeds from projects incubated by IBCNFTs.com, ad revenue generated through IBCNFTs.com and our channels, 'freemium' tools and services offered through IBCNFTs.com, etc. Literally any type of activity we pick up which generates funds for the DAO.

As outlined in Spacelog #17, our plan is to add utility NFTs (free and exclusive to IBC Frens NFT holders) to the Frens Universe, along with building on-chain dApps. Holding IBC Frens NFTs and using these utility NFTs will enable access to the utility we offer. The main concept we are developing is a utility NFT used for staking IBC Frens NFTs (without lock-up period) which will be required to receive the airdrop. This will add storylines, user-journeys and semi-passive participation to the IBC Frens utility.

The work outlined above will delay the first revdrop, pending development work. However, the revenue for the first revdrop is already accruing. And as you all know, we are actively developing and maintaining other parts of the project - effectively creating more revenue streams.

Exclusive IBC Frens Raffles

The commercial structure of the IBCNFTs.com incubator service will be flexible. The projects we incubate will have different shapes and sizes, as such, the fee structure need to be adapted from project to project. What all projects we incubate are going to have in common is NFT airdrops* to IBC Frens NFT hodlers. We will always secure a portion of the supply for our community and proceed to raffle these.

As an example, the first incubator project we'll secure 10% of the supply for IBC Frens. 10% is rather high figure and the allocation for airdrops will vary from project to project.

*Airdrop is used for a lack of better wording. The process of receiving incubator NFTs through the raffles will always require a form of opt-in to create eligibility for raffle. Long-term we will create utility NFTs for these raffles, along with on-chain dApps for participation and redemption (please reference Spacelog #17).

your own NFT + passive income 🖍️

As part of the 'Draw-A-Fren Coloring Book' outlined in 'Community', we will launch a 'IBC Frens NFT - Community Edition' collection later this year. The NFTs will be based on winning submissions from the recurring, monthly instalment of Draw-A-Fren. Where winners will have their colorbook art minted as NFTs - owning the creative rights along with mint proceeds and lifetime royalties.

Everyone can draw a fren and join the event, but only IBC Frens NFT holders are eligible for the 'IBC Frens NFT - Community Edition' and the perks of having their own NFT.

#onlyfrens 🏟️

A large part of IBC Frens is the community, all IBC Frens holders are integral to what's being done and worked on. Sometimes the value and recognition of our NFTs takes a backseat as we focus on community aspects of our project.

Building a strong, durable community takes time, and should happen organically. Hype and short-cuts for growth doesn't provide a strong foundation for a solid community. Which is why we focus on building what we've set out to build in the scope of IBCNFTs.com, at our own pace, and with conviction. Then we let other aspects of our project grow organically, such as community, # of holders, and overall value. We believe our efforts in building and providing value for others will bring us the type of growth we would like. We also prefer to activate our community in reaching new frens rather than relying on conventional marketing that tends to focus on quantity, rather than quality.

We can afford this slow-growth approach as it allows us to grow at a manageable pace, and we have plenty of run-way in terms of resources to pay for expenses and development along the way - allowing us to execute on our plan and vision.

We regularly organize community events to drive engagement, where we always incorporate a level of outreach on the behalf of frens that participate.

Below you can read about recurring community events that are accessible to verified holders and have exclusive benefits for frens.

FrensPress ✍️

Every now and then we'll call all frens to their desks for the FrensPress community event. Here we will ask frens to create content with the purpose to engage and/or educate everyone around us, about IBC Frens and IBCNFTs.com.

FrensPress entries can be Twitter Threads, Medium articles, YouTube videos, Charts/Graphs, Timelines, and so on. Anything goes and what's needed is a Tweet including the content and the hashtag #FrensPress.

The first edition of FrensPress ran in August 2022 and features 10 prizes, including a Rank #1 Secret Network Bot from IBC Frens Wave II.

Draw-a-fren coloring book 🖍️

Draw-A-Fren includes a monthly coloring book and social media engagement (through the hashtag #DrawAFren).

Before the 1st of every month (except August 2022), we prepare a coloring book based on NFT submissions from holders. Ten of these submissions are selected and stripped of their colors and included in a coloring book with simple black and white outlines.

Frens can then print the coloring book onto physical paper or render digital drawings. Photoshop, Paint, crayons, crayolas, felt-tips, you name it - everything goes!

Coloring submissions are then tweeted on Twitter and shared in the Discord through the 1st of every month until the 21st of every month. After that, we compile the top submissions and put them up to a community vote in the Discord. The top winning submissions based on community vote are then awarded prizes in the form of NFTs and/or tokens.

The winning submissions are also entered into the 'IBC Frens NFT - Community Edition' that is set to be minted later this year. More details on this in the previous section #FrensWithBenefits.

What is IBCNFTs.com?

IBCNFTs.com is a cross-chain NFT platform. Built in both web2 and web3. It covers NFTs from all IBC networks that have NFT support. All aspects of the platform is cross-chain, meaning that any resources and tooling has the aim to include all IBC networks, for example: Stargaze, Secret Network, Evmos, Juno, Terra, OmniFlix, and AssetMantle.

Many static pages such as NFT project pages from NFTs around the IBC ecosystem are plain web2. While features and tooling are running on-chain, through AkashNet ($AKT).

The goal is to become a go-to platform for both NFTp rojects that want to utilize tools we've built, and for NFT consumers that are looking for resources, in the form of news, insights, and analytics.
