Cosmic Champs will launch its first NFT sale on Algogems on June 22

Cosmic Champs will drop its first NFT Collection, composed of approximately 1500 NFTs, on Algogems starting on June 22th. The sale event is divided in three rounds, each with a different mint price. The starting price will be $10 in $COSG, the governance currency. 

There are six types of NFTs in the Cosmi Champ ecosystem: Champs, Planets, Ships, Blueprints, Treasures, and Utilities. 

The first season has about 1500 NFTs – there are 156 versions of each Champ, and about 100 versions of each Ship. Ships have a special role in the game because they are a player’s base in the battle arenas, mine steel chips which can be used to mint new ships and are a big part of a player’s strategy.

Cosmic Champ chose Algogems as their partner for this mint. Algogems is an innovative, carbon-neutral Algorand minting platform. Fees will be minimal, and the team is looking forward to a long-lasting collaboration with the platform.

Fractional NFTs

The main NFTs are generated through a fractional model. In fact, as explained in their whitepaper, none of the standard NFT generation processes can fit 3d characters with in-depth customization and great details. 

Usually, NFT collections default to automatic variations (eg. 10,000 NFTs collections) or manual drawings. However, until Algorand, no process was scalable and artistically accurate enough for Cosmic Champs.

Thanks to Algorand’s advanced minting capabilities, Cosmic Champs will continue to release their NFTs in “seasons”. Each season of NFTs will contain different versions of the same Champs. 

Some will be unique with the most advanced statistics (1:1), some will be rare with mid-level statistics (10:1), and others will be common with less enhanced statistics (100:1). In future, there will be commons with basic statistics (1000:1).

All fractions will feature the same character, but the skin and appearance will change. For example, there could be a “chrome-plated tiny robot” (common), and a “golden tiny robot” (rare). Rarity also determines abilities. 

Generally speaking, a rare tiny robot, per our example, will have better statistics than a chrome-plated one. However, the strength of an NFT in battle depends on its synergies with the other cards, so a lower-level NFT could still be more useful for your game experience than a rarer version of the same Champ.

Round 1 and 2 of the mint will only be open for whitelisted wallets. You can check if your wallet is whitelisted in the official Cosmic Champ NFT guide here.
