What is Moonbirds? The Complete Guide to the Moonbirds Non-Fungible Token Project

What are Moonbirds?

Moonbirds is a Non-Fungible Token collection of 10,000 unique pixel owls, built on Ethereum and released by PROOF Collective, a Web3 organization focused on community, digital art, and digital ownership, founded by Kevin Rose, a veteran investor who founded Digg, Revision3, and was a partner at Google Ventures. Accompanying him is Justin Mezzell, CPO of PROOF and an influential digital artist. PROOF was initially known for the Non-Fungible Token collection of the same name "PROOF Collective" – with only 1,000 Non-Fungible Tokens and once reaching a floor price of 140 ETH. PROOF is the platform and launchpad for the birth of Moonbirds.

Moonbirds was officially launched on 04/16/2022 and quickly created a big buzz in the Non-Fungible Token space thanks to its reputable founding team and creative staking mechanisms.

What Makes Moonbirds Special

Interesting Information about Moonbirds

Each Moonbirds Non-Fungible Token represents a pixel owl with random characteristics, created from 8 main attributes, including:

From these 8 attributes, each Non-Fungible Token will be a combination of 3 to 8 attributes in the same Non-Fungible Token, making each Moonbird a unique artwork, providing collectibility and long-term value.

Moonbirds Mythics – Expanded Collection

Launched in 2023, Moonbirds Mythics is an expanded collection with 20,000 Non-Fungible Tokens. Moonbirds holders can summon Mythics through the "burn Oddities" mechanism or through scheduled mint rights.

Mythics helps expand the Moonbirds universe and is the key to joining the Lunar Society The DAO – a decentralized autonomous organization that helps determine the future direction of Moonbirds.

Nesting – Staking Mechanism without Withdrawing NFT from Wallet

One of the most outstanding mechanisms is "Nesting", which allows Moonbirds holders to Stake Non-Fungible Tokens without moving them from their personal wallet.

When nesting, the user's Moonbird will "stabilize the nest" and accumulate time to receive rewards such as:

• Exclusive Non-Fungible Token Airdrop
• Access to AMA sessions, private events
• Upgraded Non-Fungible Token image equipment
• Physical gifts (merch, exclusive items)

The longer the nesting time, the more attractive the rewards – this is a way to encourage long-term collection.
