Utility:
Moonbirds NFTs provide holders with access to the private PROOF Discord, which includes admittance to its gated Parliament channels. Moonbirds come with a unique PFP design that allows them to be locked up and nested without leaving the holder’s wallet – when a Moonbird is nested, it cannot be stolen using common phishing techniques. As soon as a Moonbird is nested, it will begin to accrue additional benefits. As total nested time accumulates, the Moonbird will achieve new tier levels, upgrading their nest. Upgraded nests enable improved drops and rewards. Additionally, nested Moonbirds holders will have first access to PROOF’s upcoming metaverse Project Highrise.
Social Media Metrics:
Moonbirds has 166K followers on Twitter and there are 18K members in PROOF’s Discord channel. In the NFT Cheat Sheet from March 10th, 2022, we featured Moonbirds as a Pre-Mint Project when it had 1,169 Twitter followers.

CryptoFighters Alliance is a rework of the 2018 CryptoFighters Classic Play-to-Earn (P2E) blockchain game. CryptoFighters was one of the first-ever P2E NFTs being launched on January 22nd, 2018. Players collected fighters and battled them on-chain via a battle smart contract. Newly minted fighters were awarded to battle winners. The original collection is now known as CryptoFighers Classic.
CryptoFighters Alliance is a Massively Multiplayer Online Real-time Strategy (MMORTS) game built to be a player vs player (PVP) game. To play the game, one must hold a CryptoFighters Alliance NFT – 3D models of the original characters. The $CF token in the CryptoFighters’ ecosystem is used for in-game plots, resources, and storage houses, all accessible in the CryptoFighters Alliance Marketplace. The team created a new ERC21 standard, ERC721R, which allows minters to return their minted NFTs for a refund. In this case, holders can get a refund of the mint price within 45 days after mint.

The fighter NFTs will have both physical attributes and logical attributes. The physical attributes will be distributed randomly between every fighter based on its race (Orc, Demon, Half-Elf, Mage, & Death Knight) and the logical attributes (ex. Strength 5/10) will affect gameplay.
