Koi Metaverse — Month in Review

4 min readOct 27, 2021

While the market noise is getting louder, we keep our heads down and keep on building.

From the moment Koi Metaverse was conceived, we knew that human imagination is too splendid, that reality is too narrow for our souls, and we humans are eventually going virtual. And in spirit, we are indeed all heading toward the world’s wildest and weirdest space — Metaverse.

Imagination is too splendid and we humans are going virtual.

With every announcement and community event, we attach our mission statement at the bottom, just to remind us of the uphill battle ahead of us even if we are always rolling out new features and campaigns.

However, nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, and difficulty. With that being said, Koi Metaverse aims to unlock the Next-Gen GameFi Metaverse economies by building the digital collectibles platform for virtual GameFi NFTs.

Let’s dive in 🌊

In October 2021, a lot was going on behind the scenes. Words simply cannot fully express the time and the intensity of efforts we devoted to the project. However, here’s everything you need to know about our big month.

🐟 Koi NFT Offering & Opensea Official Listing

So, in the past month, investors have continued dropping billions upon billions of dollars on NFTs. OpenSea has seen more than $3 billion in transaction volume in the past 30 days, and that number is down quite a bit from August, showcasing just how much off-peak money continues to flow into NFTs.

With this prediction and market sentiment, we decided to launch Koi NFT Offering Phase 1 where we kicked off our very first NFT sale.

However, the uphill battle began.

Due to a program issue, we decided to create a new contract and advised our community not to conduct Koi #NFT trading. Subsequently, we decided to airdrop any unsold NFT fish to the participating addresses to add additional value to their support.

❤️ Crypto Love

With the launch of the Koi NFT sale, Koi fish are swarming into Twitter. Crypto and NFT enthusiasts are known for expressing their conviction and love for the assets they see as valuable. It is no exception when it comes to Koi Metaverse.

🔥 Tweet Fire Monthly #KoiNFTGiveaways

To keep expanding and growing our communities, we decided to launch the first season of hopefully a long and never-ending NFT party.

In this event, Koi lovers get a chance to earn random NFT fish once they own their own and tweet them out. The Koi NFT owners that have more likes and retweets would have a bigger chance at winning, of course.
