DROP 2 IS HERE: MISS OLIVIA

The 2nd drop of my 12 part CNFT series “An Unintentional Escape from Inertia” is finally here.  This first one features the single “Miss Olivia” and comes with a unique Sam PFP. The PFP has new traits that weren’t available in drop 1 while  some traits from drop 1 were taken out.  I want each drop to have traits that are unique, while still maintaining a cohesive theme for all 12.  Makes it more fun to collect them all. 

This drop will have 1000 available with price of only 10 ADA!  In addition, people who mint 5 + will be airdropped a copy of the pilot episode for the concept for Sam’s animated show. The premise: A recently dumped and down on his luck Sam has to get his shit together and begins an absurd journey to making his singer-songwriter dreams a reality.    I hope you dig it! I can’t wait to build this series (and the animated show series) out over the next year and a bit!  Minting and project information is below.  Thanks for checking it out.

Sam Katman, Cat Troubadour

Who's Sam Katman?

I’m quite possibly the first digital singer-songwriter cat to launch a music career off the Cardano block chain. I’ve been inspired by the Beatles, John Mayer, Norah Jones, Tom Petty, U2, Kings of Convenience, Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, and countless other magical musicians and songwriters who’ve graced us with their presence.

I’ve been into crypto since March of 2021 and got deep into Cardano in the summer of 2021.  The vision for the future, the community, the low fees, the proof of stake, and leadership transparency are all part of why Cardano is the chain for me.  My human avatar is a Canadian based out of Taiwan.

I’m currently in the middle of dropping the 2nd part of my 12 part song+pfp CNFT series. 

What is this "NEW" CNFT Series ??

“An Unintentional Escape from Inertia” is an album reimagined as a CNFT. 

How? 

12 songs + PFP collection will be released  sequentially in 12 drops over several months. 

Each drop will include a varying set of PFPs and one new single.  200 will be available for the first drop and then subsequent drop numbers will be decided by the community.  Max total will be 10K, minimum will be 2400. Community decides in the discord server.

My original plan was to release 2400 but my team said my PFP has enough traits to warrant 30K, so we decided to see what the community says after the first drop. 

12 Songs, 12 Drops, Total Number of CNFTs Determined by Community
Unique Factors Abound

Why is this CNFT Series Unique?

  1. It’s redefining how an album is presented by pairing it with a PFP collection.   
  2. It’s a 12 part drop that will be released over a period of several months. 
  3. Each drop may have a different number available of CNFTs depending on community input. The max total will be 10K and the minimum would be 2400
  4. As a fun addition, some other CNFT and Cardano based projects are featured on some of the hoodies.
  5. There’s a heavy focus on guitars.  I have yet to see a guitar focused PFP collection.
  6. An exclusive vinyl album will be made and sent to holders of all 12 drops anywhere in the world.   
  7. Other goodies will be air dropped along the way (digitally and physically). 
  8. Each drop will have certain traits that other drops won’t,  making each drop unique within the whole 12 part collection!! 

Benefits and Utility

1. Holders of all 12 drops will be sent an exclusive signed edition vinyl copy featuring all 12 songs with other goodies.

2. Access to inclusive holder only raffles – E.G A 3D Sam rendering will be gifted to a lucky holder of each drop.

3. Receive both MP3 and HQ WAV file

4. All holders will be gifted a lifetime guest list into any IRL or VR show organized by Sam.

5. The uplifting feeling of helping an artist invest deeper into their project.

6. The amazing feeling that  you might make history in helping push the first singer-songwriter digital cat from the blockchain.

Art is Utility

The Team

  1. SAM KATMAN – Creator/Songwriter/Art-Director  .  You already know me, but you can add me on twitter @samkatman
  2. YUSEF– My artist partner who I’ve been working with since before my journey into crypto and NFTs.  @Wut_illustration on twitter. He’s never really on to twitter, but you can hit him up and tell him to post more.
  3. SATURN NFT– A new minting service working on some incredible things to push CNFTs to the next level. www.SaturnNFT.io

The Plan

Pre-Launch

A process will be put in place before the launch of each drop. 

  1. A collab with another project before or during mint
  2. Custom mints will be sent to people who have been helpful to the project.
  3. Mint date will be set during this time or as a surprise

Post-Drop

After each drop, certain milestones will trigger an action. 

  1. A set of giveaways will be sent to a  select stake pool to distribute to their holders. Another set of giveaways will be given to holders in raffle. Another set will be used for ads/promo depending on how fast the mint sells out.  
  2. After the first 200 CNFTs of each drop are sold, 100 ADA will randomly sent to one holder of the first 100. 
  3. After the first 200 CNFTs are sold from each drop,  2/2 3D Sams will begin creation for raffle between holders.  One for my genesis CNFT holders and one for the new drop’s  holders.
  4. After each drop sells out,  Sam will choose an artist he wants to onboard onto Cardano or a Cardano artist to remix one of the visual pieces from the drop.
  5. After each drop sell out, the 2/2 3D Sams will be sent to 2 lucky Sam Katman holders.
  6. Unique goodies and surprises will also be bestowed upon you as we move along the timeline (vinyl, merch, exclusive screenplay drafts of the animated series based on Sam Katman’s absurd life, and more)

What happens after the 12 drops?

The future is wide open for new possibilities.  New opportunities and ideas will likely arise as we move along the drop line.  More information will be released as it comes.
