The Future Of A World In Augmented Reality

By The BBNFT Boogers

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information, such as images, videos, or 3D models, onto the real world. Unlike virtual reality, which immerses users in a completely virtual environment, AR enhances the real world by adding virtual elements to it.
AR is typically experienced through devices such as smart phones, tablets, smart glasses, or specialized AR headsets.

BASIC CONCEPT: Augmented Reality enhances our perception of the real world by superimposing digital content onto it in real-time. This digital content can include text, images, videos, 3D models, or animations.

HOW IT WORKS: AR technology relies on computer vision, depth sensing, and other advanced algorithms to recognize and track real-world objects or surfaces in real-time. By understanding the user’s environment, AR devices can accurately place virtual content within it, creating the illusion of coexistence.

APPLICATIONS: AR has a wide range of applications across various industries. In entertainment, it’s used in gaming (e.g., Pokémon GO), interactive storytelling, and immersive experiences. In retail, AR allows customers to visualize products in their real-world environment before making a purchase. In education, AR can enhance learning experiences by providing interactive simulations and visualizations. Other fields where AR is utilized include healthcare (e.g., surgical planning), architecture and design, manufacturing, tourism, and marketing.

BRINGING DIGITAL ART TO LIFE: AR enables artists to bring their digital creations to life in the real world. By animating or adding interactive elements to their NFT artwork using AR technology, artists can create dynamic and immersive experiences for collectors and viewers. This opens up new possibilities for creative expression and storytelling, blurring the lines between traditional art forms and digital media. By integrating AR technology, collectors can enhance their NFT experience by visualizing their digital collectibles in the real world. For example, a user who owns a digital artwork NFT can use an AR app to display the artwork on their wall or interact with it in a physical space using a smartphone or AR headset.

AUTHENTICATION AND VERIFICATION: AR can play a role in the authentication and verification of NFTs, particularly for physical items linked to digital tokens. By scanning a QR code or NFC tag embedded in a physical object, users can access AR-enhanced content that verifies the authenticity of the item and provides additional information about its provenance and history. This enhances trust and transparency in the NFT ecosystem, helping buyers and sellers ensure the authenticity of their transactions.

TOYS AND COLLECTABLES: Using AR with collectible toys offers an engaging and interactive way to enhance the overall experience for collectors and enthusiasts. Using a smartphone or AR headset, collectors can scan their physical toys to unlock digital replicas or representations within the virtual space. They can arrange and customize their virtual displays, explore detailed information about each toy, and even view animations or special effects associated with specific collectibles. AR-enhanced packaging can provide an interactive experience for collectors when they unbox their toys. By scanning a QR code or using an AR app, collectors can unlock digital content related to the toy, such as character bios, behind-the-scenes videos, or mini-games. This adds value to the physical product and enhances the overall unboxing experience, making it more memorable and engaging. Some collectible toy lines may offer digital accessories or add-ons that can be unlocked and customized using AR technology. For example, collectors can scan special tokens or codes included with their toys to unlock virtual weapons, vehicles, or costumes that can be used in digital environments or games. This provides collectors with additional incentives to collect and engage with the toy line, creating a deeper connection between physical and digital collectibles. AR can also enhance the play experience for collectors by providing interactive and immersive scenarios featuring their favorite toys. For example, collectors can use AR apps to bring their toys to life in virtual environments, where they can engage in interactive storytelling, battles, or challenges. This blurs the line between physical and digital play, offering endless opportunities for creativity and imagination.

BEAR AND BULL’S FUTURE IN AUGMENTED REALITY

BBNFT is launching their pilot IRL Collectible Collection in March, limited to only 250 pieces. They are minting them on BASE (ETH L2), with each having a VRM Avatar attached to the NFT. They will also have a claim for a VRM to be used on Nifty Island. Each NFT will have a claim for an IRL deliverable that will be shipping in April (collectible figure). Included in the packaging will be Bear and Bull Croc Charms, stickers, and more. This is not a burn function. You retain the NFT with VRMs. Following the successful launch of the pilot collection, they are launching a larger IRL Collectible Collections where every Phase Two token ID will be distributed profits from the collections every quarter. Founders have dropped NFTs. Founders have dropped NFTs with IRL claims. How many have launched a collection with IRL claims that also have metaverse compatibility? Imagine a collectible figure made by a manufacturer that has made toys for Pokémon, Naruto, One Piece, Disney, Bandai, Hasbro, Marvel, Hello Kitty, Universal, Nintendo, Peppa Pig, and others that is also connected to a metaverse Avatar that is unique to that collectible figure that has been purchased.

Stay tuned for our coming Augmented Reality App where each figure that you collect will be able to play side by side and compete with and against one another. — “The Bear and Bull NFT: Where your collectible figures come to life.”

BEAR AND BULL NFT PHASE TWO – THRIVE OR DIE

By The BBNFT Boogers

In the fast-paced world of NFTs, few collections manage to capture the imagination and excitement of the community as effectively as the Bear and Bull NFT Phase 2 collection. With 3,333 unique NFTs minted at a reasonable 0.025 ETH each, the collection officially came to life on January 12th, 2024, seamlessly following the meticulously planned schedule.

From the outset, Cryptoequip, the brain behind Bear and Bull NFT, assured the community that this project was different. The anticipation built as an early announcement hinted at a utility revelation slated for February 2nd. What followed was a pledge from Cryptoequip himself, stating, “If, after being in the community this month, spending time with all of us, seeing the utility of Phase Two, learning about all that we are doing with the other collections, and you are still not happy with the way the future looks, you are welcome to open a ticket for a full refund of your mint price at this time, up to 90 days from when the mint began.” This guarantee remained intact, giving investors a unique safety net in the unpredictable world of NFTs.

FEBRUARY 2ND – THE UTILITY UNVEILING AND THE UNPRECEDENTED BENEFITS FOR HOLDERS.

True to the Cryptoequip ethos of ‘Expect the Unexpected,’ February 2nd brought the utility announcement titled “Thrive or Die: The Ultimate Ride #BOURISH.” The #BBNFT family experienced an astonishing revelation that set this project apart.

Cryptoequip reaffirmed the ETH Back Guarantee attached to Phase Two, and in a groundbreaking move, declared that, “In six months from this day of announcement, every Phase Two NFT holder will be airdropped the full public mint price of 0.025 ETH.” This unique proposition left holders in awe, essentially meaning that they had minted the NFTs for free. Even more enticingly, for the next 60 days, holders had the option to return their NFT and receive a full refund without any questions asked. Now picture this: envision the community of steadfast Diamond hand holders-individuals who secured their position through airdrops by utilizing their Alpha points and Bullets, or those fortunate enough to be on the White List and minted for a mere $45!

CATCHING THE CURVEBALL: THE DEFLATIONARY NATURE

However, there was a catch – any returned NFTs or those swept by Cryptoequip from his personal addy would no longer be reintroduced into public circulation, ensuring the deflationary nature of the Phase Two collection.

IRL COLLECTIBLES: A TANGIBLE CONNECTION

Amidst these revelations, The utility announcement further surprised and delighted the community by revealing plans for real-life collectibles of Bear-Bull figurines. Manufactured in the same factory as Disney, these figurines promised interchangeable parts, including hats, accessories, and even horns. The possibilities seemed endless, sparking excitement among collectors.

The Pilot IRL Bear-Bull figurines Collectibles Collection, limited to 250 pieces, is set to launch in March. These will be minted on BASE (ETH L2), with each NFT having a VRM Avatar attached. Furthermore, each NFT will come with a claim for an IRL deliverable (Collectible Figure) shipping in April, complete with Bear and Bull Croc Charms, stickers, and more.

QUARTERLY AIRDROPS: PROFITS FOR HOLDERS

THE EXCITEMENT DOESN’T END THERE…

Following the successful pilot launch, BBNFT plans to release larger IRL Collectible Collections. Holders of Phase Two tokens will enjoy quarterly airdrops of profits from these collections. Notably, tokens swept from Cryptoequip’s personal address or returned by holders will not be eligible for these airdrops, making the Phase Two collection genuinely deflationary.

The visionary nature of Cryptoequip and the BBNFT project doesn’t

stop with physical collectibles. The utility extends to metaverse compatibility, with each NFT having a unique metaverse Avatar connected to the collectible figure’s manufacturer, known for producing toys for iconic brands like Pokémon, Disney, Marvel, and more.

METAVERSE COMPATIBILITY: BEYOND THE PHYSICAL REALM

Cryptoequip tantalizingly hinted at augmented reality, envisioning an app where users can scan a QR code on their collectible’s box, bringing the figure to life on their mobile device. While details are still pending, the prospect is undeniably thrilling and indicative of the innovative direction the project is taking. As we embark on this exciting journey with BBNFT, the possibilities seem boundless. The project promises not only tangible and virtual collectibles but also a groundbreaking app that could revolutionize the way we interact with our favorite items. The ultimate question posed by Cryptoequip, “Thrive or Die?” remains open-ended, leaving us on the edge of our seats, eagerly anticipating the next revelation from this trailblazing NFT project. The Bear and Bull NFT Phase 2 is not just an NFT collection; it’s a revolution in the making.

The Bear and Bull NFT Phase Two Mint

By The BBNFT Boogers

Minted Out

That’s right, the Bear and Bull NFT Phase 2 collection consisting of 3,333 NFTs at 0.025 ETH officially minted out on January 12th, 2024, according to schedule, without panic, delays, or pivots, and without the need for any crazy plans to force a mint out. Everything was laid out from the beginning, and everything went according to plan. An impressive feat in the current NFT climate, and with Cryptoequip’s commitment to not utilize any form of hype or FOMO tactics. Even more impressive when one considers that this future blue chip is still relatively unknown to the broader Web 3 community.

The Mint

It is worth dwelling for a minute on a couple of key points surrounding the mint, as it really speaks volumes about what this Bear and Bull community is all about. Firstly, let’s consider the ETH back guarantee, which is truly unique in the world of NFTs and is beginning to be adopted by other projects. Here is a quote from an announcement on the matter, but in short, all minters were afforded a risk-free mint: “Our utility announcement is at the beginning of February. If, after being in the community this month, spending time with all of us, seeing the utility of Phase Two, learning about all that we are doing with the other collections, and if you are still not happy with the way the future looks, you are welcome to open a ticket for a full refund of your mint price at this time, up to 90 days from when the mint began.”

Secondly, let’s focus briefly on the mint incentive structure, which was conducted in true Bear and Bull style where nobody is left behind. Mint incentives were announced from the start and would apply to all minters, regardless of when they minted. The first tranche of incentives would be released at 2,222 mints, applying to all who bought up until that point. The final tranche of incentives would be released upon reveal with double that amount if the project is minted out, again applying to all that was bought regardless of stage. Compare that to other mint experiences where you buy in early to support the project and then watch from the sidelines the next day, tapped out of funds, while a mint incentive for a desirable NFT is raffled to only the next 50 mints. So many times…

The Reveal

The mint was scheduled for two weeks, from December 29th through January 12th, and the progress was solid and steady, with hundreds of mints occurring daily and consistently. Every day we were able to welcome in more new members to the community, whilst the OGs (who know the real value of their BBNFT assets) continued to stack as many as they could. Everything came to a head on reveal day, and as expected, FOMO kicked in with a frenzy of mints, resulting in a sellout within a matter of hours. The hype was organic, and the excitement was palpable. OG’s and new members alike were pumped and chomping at the bit to see what their Phase 2 Bear-Bulls looked like, especially after seeing all the incredible sneak peeks! And they did not have long to wait. It must have been incredibly satisfying for APESBORED, the artist behind the collection, to see just how well his 3D hand-drawn Bear-Bulls were received by the community after all the hard work he had put into them. To put things in perspective, the fur forming the base of each Bear-Bull consists of over 500,000 individual hairs, and perfecting the look for that element alone took over 120 hours. The level of detail put into this collection is off the chain! He must have also had a great time pulling together the 8 1/1s in the collection, with tributes to Deadpool, Raiden, and Optimus Prime featuring among the eight. Readers are encouraged to track down these 1/1s and see them
firsthand; they are absolute FIRE!

Degen Mode Activated

Following the reveal, it was off to the races. The trading channel in Discord blew up with more activity than the dominant general chat channel. Trait hunters were out in force, trying to trade for their favorite traits. Sweepers were equally active for the same reason, scouring the floors and scooping up bargains. At the time of writing, a mere 11 days after the reveal, the collection has already done 28 ETH in volume, with 703 sales and holding a floor of 0.0389. Already, some key themes are emerging.

The most coveted trait, by a country mile, is the CE CAPTAIN’S HAT. A recent poll also showed that fur was the favorite trait group in the collection, and with 31 different types of fur to choose from, buyers are definitely spoiled for choice. Other sought-after traits include RIFLES, THE CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD, GAS MASKS, AND CLEAN NAKED 2-3 TRAITS. However, this is likely to evolve over time, and it is common to see people showing off different traits that are growing on them the more they look at their Bear-Bulls. Gold scarves, anyone?

Cryptoequip continues to stay true to form, keeping everybody on their toes and recently posting a mysterious tweet questioning the meaning behind the mythical ‘GOLDEN BEAR STATUES’ and backing that up a few days later with an announcement that each of the 294 Golden Bear Statue NFTs would be dropped 20M SHEESH ($SHS) tokens.

Phase Two Utility

So, what is next for Phase 2 holders? As mentioned, Cryptoequip likes to
surprise the community. If you’re new to BBNFT, don’t worry; you’ll soon learn that surprises are a good thing, just like whenever Cryptoequip is bored! Here is what we know so far as at the time of writing:


[1] 13 billion SHEESH ($SHS) has been secured for Phase 2 holders. As mentioned, Golden Bear Statue holders will receive 6 billion of these tokens; a further 4 billion will be reserved for the upcoming Faction Crusades, leaving another 3 billion to be distributed in some way.

[2] Faction Crusades are coming to BBNFT, with community-led faction nominations recently closing and now pending a vote to finalize the faction details and structure. BBNFT OGs all remember the original Faction Wars that went down last May – 4 weeks of non-stop $10-20 rumbles culminating in Connect 4 showdowns each week for 0.1ETH apiece for each faction winner. At the end of the 4 weeks the final winner walked away with 1 ETH and some NFTs. Needless to say, they are all chomping at the bit for the upcoming Faction Crusades! Adding to the excitement, Cryptoequip has declared that he’ll be partaking in the action this time around, leading to degen speculation and a stampede on the CE Captain’s hats. However, nothing has been officially announced regarding those hats, and just when you zig left, it’s almost a certainty that CE will zag right!

[3] A post was made recently regarding an upcoming announcement on Phase 2 utility that will drop on February 2nd. At this stage, we know the Phase 2 collection will stack BOURISH, and while we don’t yet know what that will equate to, punters can look to the Alpha Pass Bears and Phase Blue Bulls for an idea of what may possibly be in store for Phase 2. The AP’s currently stack 40 Alpha Points every 10-12 weeks, convertible 1:1 to USDC, and the PB’s stack Bullets tied to wBTC, equating to approximately $90 USDC per year. Further detail on the Alpha Pass and Phase Blue utilities can be found in this previous Boogers article, The Evolution of Crafting a Diamond Hand Community


[4] IRL Collectibles. A post was recently made showing a mini Bear-Bull figurine made in the same factory as Disney and including interchangeable parts built into the design. Collectors will have the ability to swap out the hats, accessories in hand, and even the horns on their figurines. Apparently Apesbored’s talents extend beyond 3D art, and he has direct experience with 3D modeling and making IRL items. This is incredibly exciting news, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds following this revelation. The possibilities are endless!

TO CONCLUDE

With Phase 2 only just minted out, there is still plenty to come, and this project is just getting warmed up. However, one of the best things to come out of this Phase 2 collection was the opportunity to welcome new holders to our community. Already, we have seen a good number of new members embrace the project wholeheartedly, injecting a lot of positive energy and already feeling like a part of the furniture. Some have gone in as hard as, if not harder than, some of the OG whales in the community. Many have adopted the ethos and spirit of the BBNFT community and are already giving back in the form of rumble prize sponsorships or via tips to other community members, which is fantastic to see. Welcome again to the family, and the team cannot wait for you all to experience all the wonderful twists, turns, and surprises Cryptoequip and DAO One have in store. Strap in for the ride and bring on the crusades; the Green Horns are ready!

The Bear And Bull NFT Phase Two: The Next Chapter

By The BBNFT Boogers

On December 29th, THE BEAR AND BULL NFT (BBNFT) will be releasing a long-awaited PHASE 2 collection. The hand-drawn art is a hybrid rendition of a mixture of both bear and bull, with 30 different fur traits in total. There will be a total of 3333 three-dimensional NFTs in the collection.

There will be multiple avenues for people to participate in the mint, but with the high demand for the collection, you will most likely need a White List (WL) to be able to mint. Each WL wallet will be able to mint one NFT. Roughly 333 WL (subject to change) will be given out to partner communities with a 25% discount at a rate of $45 per NFT. If it makes it to the public, the mint price will be around $60.

Bear and Bull community members will have some unique opportunities to participate in the mint this round, with the biggest discounts available for BBNFT diamond hands in true Cryptoequip fashion. First and foremost, the original minters of the Alpha Pass who never sold their Bear will be rewarded with a free airdrop for their unwavering loyalty to the project. Cryptoequip has also given the entire BBNFT family an incredible opportunity to mint using the utility of both their Bear and Bull NFTs. The Bears yield Alpha Points (USDC) and the Bulls yield Bullets (wBTC) this month of December. (Please read the Booger article, Evolution of Building a Diamond Hands Community,”)

Holders can apply their Alpha points and Bullets to receive Phase 2 NFTs airdropped to them. December’s Alpha points give you two Phase 2 mints, and Bullets give you one mint airdropped. If you apply your Alpha Points or Bullets, you get the allocated NFTs airdropped to you in place of receiving the yields, pay no gas, and can kick back and relax on the mint day without stress! Lastly, if you don’t have a Bear or Bull but do have another NFT from one of the other BBNFT collections (e.g., a Gateway Pass or one of the avatars), you can grab a WL and mint for $45 also. Wallet addresses are currently being collected in the Bear and Bull discord for a limited window of time.

REAKDOWN:

Public Non White List – $60           

White List – $45    

Alpha Pass – $30 mint or 2 airdropped using Alpha Points

Phase Blue – $30 mint or 1 airdropped using Bullets

HERE’S A QUICK EXPLANATION TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE MINT WORKS.

By opting to use your Alpha Points and/or Bullets for the minting process instead of converting them to cash, you not only secure a 50% discount on the public mint price but also eliminate the need to cover gas fees during the minting. This not only proves to be a more cost-effective approach but also results in time savings on the backend, while also serving as a tax offset.

Here’s a breakdown of the benefits: Each owned Bear entitles you to receive airdropped mints without incurring gas fees if you choose to apply your Alpha Points and/or Bullets to the minting process. For instance, if you own one Bear, you could either claim $60 USDC or use the same value to mint 2 Phase Two NFTs. Opting for the latter option would typically involve gas fees – for example, a recent estimation on Uniswap indicated a gas cost of $60, along with additional expenses for NFT-related transactions, amounting to over $20.

To put it simply: Claiming the Alpha Points rewards you with $60 USDC, while minting 2 Phase Two NFTs at a 50% discount results in a $60 cost. However, considering the gas fees, which could be $15 or more per NFT, the total expense for minting 2 Phase Two NFTs could easily reach around $80 to $90, assuming gas prices remain consistent.

When it comes to BULLET POINTS, if you apply your bullets to the mint, you’ll receive one Phase 2 airdropped to you upon minting. If you choose not to apply the points, you can still mint one Phase 2 for every Bull you hold at a 50% discount, but you’ll be subject to the prevailing gas prices at that time.

For instance, if you have 2 bears and 2 bulls, you can receive a total of 6 mints at a 50% discount. You have the flexibility to claim points on some, apply points on some, or apply points on all – the choice is yours. However, you must allocate all points to a single bear, meaning you can’t split USDT and opt for one NFT drop instead of two. To be more specific, for the chosen bear(s), you claim all points, not just half, and you’ll receive 2 Phase 2 NFTs during the minting process.

BOURVERSE: Unlocking The World Of VRM (Virtual Reality Modeling)

By The BBNFT Boogers – Read the full PDF version here

In the interesting realm of the Bear and Bull NFT Metaverse, I stumbled upon a peculiar abbreviation: VRM. My curiosity led me on a quest to uncover the meaning behind this three-letter term. What I found was nothing short of fascinating. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of Virtual Reality Modeling (VRM), a platform-independent file format designed for 3D characters and avatars in today’s modern VR landscape.

Understanding VRM

VRM, or Virtual Reality Modeling, is a revolutionary concept that’s poised to transform the way we interact with avatars and 3D characters. At its core, VRM is a file format that encapsulates all the data associated with an avatar, from textures to metadata, within a single, efficient file. Think of it like your profile picture on social media, but with the power to encapsulate an entire digital identity.

One of VRM’s standout features is its ability to standardize motion capture operations, ensuring that actions like blinks and facial expressions seamlessly sync with the avatar’s real-life user. This synchronization allows for a more immersive and interactive experience.

But what truly sets VRM apart is its potential to embed rights specific to avatars within the file. This means that creators can define usage permissions for avatars, safeguarding them from being used in violent or inappropriate content. In essence, in the future, VRM will be more than just a file format; it will also be a tool for safeguarding digital identities and pushing the boundaries of 3D model distribution.

Using VRM: A Simple Guide

Now that we understand the significance of VRM, you might be wondering how to upload and use VRM files on websites or platforms. It’s remarkably straightforward.

If you’re using an iPhone, Apple device, or Android, the process remains consistent. We’re downloading VRM files, not opening them, but uploading them for use in the “modern VR landscape.” This approach eliminates the need to connect your wallet address (Addy) to the platforms and safeguards you from potential risks. You’re essentially “wearing” the VRM file as your avatar skin.

To get started, visit the Hyperfy website. Once there, select one of the metaverse worlds; there’s no need to mint anything or connect your addresses. Just upload your VRM file once you’re in the metaverse.

However, always exercise caution when clicking on external links and stay vigilant against phishing scams. For the best gaming experience, consider using the Microsoft browser Brave for Hyperfy game play, as it blocks most cookies and scripts.

But the excitement doesn’t end there…

Taking VRM to the Next Level

You can further explore the possibilities of VRM by importing your VRM avatars to Blender. This versatile software enables you to convert VRM files to 3D formats like FBX, opening the door to modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, video editing, and even game creation. Download Blender and the VRM
add-on to get started.

For those seeking more creative avenues, there are other applications to consider:

UNLOCKING THE WONDERS OF VRMS IN THE BEAR AND BULL NFT METAVERSE

Embarking on a journey of discovery into the realm of Virtual Reality Modeling (VRM) can be quite an exhilarating experience. But let’s not stop there; let’s delve into the intriguing world of VRMs within the Bear and Bull NFT Metaverse.

A LIMITED EDITION RARITY- MR. ANDERSON

The adventure began with Mr. Anderson, the enigmatic VRM avatar that took us all by surprise. Was Mr. Anderson initially created as a tribute to CryptoEquip, reserved solely for his personal use? It seemed not, as later developments allowed a select few to mint limited edition avatars representing our Metaverse’s founder in the Web3 space.

Mr. Anderson was no ordinary avatar; it was a limited edition Metaverse Ready Avatar, and there were only 50 of them in existence. Minting this exceptional VRM Avatar came at the cost of 0.05 ETH, granting the proud owner a unique claim to their associated Virtual Ready Metaverse (VRM) Avatar.

Claimed vs. Unclaimed Avatars

The journey into the world of VRMs was an adventure filled with surprises. Claimed avatars were like a piece of the Metaverse’s soul, depicting Mr. Anderson with the whole world in his hands. On the flip side, unclaimed versions took the form of VRM trading cards, offering collectors a unique experience.

One of the fascinating aspects of VRMs was their versatility. These avatars weren’t confined to a single platform; we could use them on multiple platforms and even in VR applications on our smartphone. Additionally, there are mini-games available where we could upload our VRM file and immerse ourself in thrilling virtual adventures.

So, as we continued to explore the infinite possibilities of Virtual Reality Modeling, the Bear and Bull NFT Metaverse showcased its innovation and creativity. With Mr. Anderson leading the charge, those limited edition avatars were more than just digital collectibles; they were our key to a dynamic and interactive digital world. We got ready to embrace the future of the Metaverse with VRMs that brought our imagination to life.

EXPLORING THE EXCITING WORLD OF BOUREY VS BULLEY AND THE BOURVERSE

In the ever-evolving landscape of the digital world, we’ve witnessed the emergence of exciting technologies and concepts that are reshaping how we interact with the internet. One such innovation is BOURVERSE, a groundbreaking project that bridges the gap between web2, web3, and real-life experiences, introducing the first-ever virtual trading card game.

Let’s explore the fascinating world of Bourey vs. Bulley and the BOURVERSE, showcasing how this unique concept is changing the game in the realm of NFTs, gaming, and the metaverse.

A New Dimension of Digital Collectibles at its core, BOURVERSE presents a captivating collection of 333 Bourey and Bulley Digi Characters, each with its own distinctive characteristics. These digital collectibles are more than just visually appealing; they’re a gateway to a vibrant metaverse, where you can explore, connect, and play in an immersive virtual world.

The minting of VRM Avatar Trading Card NFTs was completed on July 15, 2023, with a mint price of 0.01 ETH for those who held an Alpha Pass or Phase Blue + Gateway Pass. These NFT cards represent more than just a static image; they grant access to VRM Avatars with additional functionalities.

Metaverse Land Naming

The BBNFT (Bear and Bull NFT) community played a significant role in naming the metaverse land. In a democratic process, the community members were given three name options, and the name “BOURVERSE” won with a resounding 66.91% of the votes. It’s a name that reflects the exciting and dynamic nature of this virtual world.

Unlocking the BOURVERSE

Bourey vs. Bulley and the BOURVERSE isn’t just another virtual trading card game. It’s a web3 first, pioneering the fusion of web2, web3, and real-life experiences. The game features a variety of Bourey and Bulley Digi Characters, each falling into different categories like Commons, Rares, Legendary, Epic, and YUGE.

When you mint an NFT card, you’re not just receiving a collectible; you’re claiming a VRM Avatar. These avatars are not mere images; they come with VRM files that can be utilized as skins in our metaverse and other supported platforms.

Furthermore, you have the option to trade your NFT card in the secondary market. The subsequent owner will also gain access to the same VRM Avatar. This offers the possibility that even if you possess only one card and cannot purchase another, you can sell it following your initial claim, acquire a different card in the secondary market, and then make a claim for a new VRM Avatar. In this way, you can enjoy a variety of avatars by purchasing and claiming different cards.

Connecting to the Metaverse

BOURVERSE is built on Hyperfy, an outstanding platform with dedicated developers continuously adding new features. While it may not yet boast the traffic of platforms like Decentraland (DCL) or The Sandbox, it offers a higher degree of independence, allowing users to craft their own unique experiences. The key advantage of VRM Avatars is their versatility; they can be used on a variety of supported platforms. Whether you want to race in a common Bourey or Bulley or engage in epic battles with a rare character, the choice is entirely yours. The Bourey vs. Bulley VRM Avatars provide full access to the metaverse and all its supported platforms, including games on Oculus.

The upcoming land in BOURVERSE promises a diverse range of activities, including a stage for events, video viewing areas, group exploration, and social interaction. Your chosen Avatar represents you in these spaces, creating an immersive and personalized experience.

Legal Ownership of NFTs

Navigating the legal landscape surrounding NFTs and their associated 3D files can be a concern. However, it’s essential to understand that once you own an NFT, all the attached 3D files legally belong to you. It’s no different from purchasing in-game skins or loot boxes. The ownership of these digital assets is clear, and users can enjoy and interact with them as they see fit.

Expanding Possibilities

The BOURVERSE collection is sustainable and holds incredible potential for the future. New locations and areas can be built, catering to a range of interests, such as movies, shops, and community gatherings. Users can change their avatars based on their mood, and the possibilities are virtually endless.

THE POOPENING NFT VRM: A SURPRISE IN JULY

And just when you thought the BOURVERSE couldn’t get any more exciting, “THE #POOPENING” NFT VRM arrived in July. These open-edition NFTs, available for just $3 each, come with a VRM Avatar file attached. Unlike the previous Avatars, there’s no need to claim them. They are built into the NFTs, making them instantly accessible by connecting your address to Hyperfy.


You can enjoy them on your PC, mobile device, or with a VR headset, adding yet another layer of immersion to your BOURVERSE experience.

About BBNFT community

Community plays a pivotal role in any project’s success. Cryptoequip, a discerning leader, places paramount importance on fostering a community, fostering an environment of absolute transparency and impartiality. Within the Bear and Bull Community, a culture of mutual support and camaraderie prevails, where members readily assist each other and build strong connections. It’s a place where knowledge-sharing is the norm, whether it involves guiding newcomers through challenges or sharing insights within the Web 3 domain or any other field. The dedicated Dao team acts as the linchpin, ensuring a positive and earnest atmosphere. This community encourages diverse discussions, spanning topics from sports and science to literature and more. As a creative individual, the inspiration and support I’ve received from the BBNFT community have turned into a sense of responsibility, motivating me to contribute even more. From the very inception of my journey, this community has been instrumental in my progress, enabling me to establish a reputation in both the Bear and Bull Community and the broader Web 3 space. In all honesty, my current position within this fantastic project is a direct result of the support and opportunities provided by the BBNFT community.

Coming soon – The Bear and Bull NFT: Phase Two

The Evolution of Crafting a Diamond Hand NFT Community

By The BBNFT Boogers

Bear and Bull NFT leads the way in building an ecosystem that rewards the community for holding on to the assets rather than trying to flip them for profits. The narrative here at BBNFT is evolving into a community that is rewarding its loyal members for simply buying and holding. There are currently 3 main rewards for NFT holders to maximize ROI in the ecosystem: Alpha Points, Bullets, and the internal community token Poop.

1) Alpha Pass Bear NFT = Alpha Points

All Alpha Pass holders now make up DaoTwo. They hold voting rights and assist the core DaoOne team with project development and direction. Starting this December, every 10-12 weeks, every Bear that you hold will accumulate approximately 40 Alpha Points. By year’s end each NFT will accumulate approximately 160-200 Alpha Points. These points will be redeemable for NFTs, IRL merch, and some mystery items. The serious alpha of the Alpha Points for investors looking for fiat ROI, is that Alpha Points are redeemable 1:1 for USDC. 1 Alpha Point = $1!

2) Phase Blue Bulls = Bullets

Our founder Cryptoequip is known for his 2nd to none generosity in the web3 space and creating value for holders. Another yuge asset created to craft diamond hand holders is the upcoming Phase Blue Bull’s utility. Cryptoequip went out and purchased 50 Xeno Mining NFTs, and when staked accrue Ammo as a passive income reward. Bullets (ironically named even before buying Xeno Mining NFTs and receiving ammo), were voted on by the newly formed DaoTwo as the latest addition to BBNFT utility for Bull holders. Although the number is not yet set in stone, each Bull will generate roughly $90 per year in wBTC per NFT. With the Bull market returning and the price of BTC rising this could yield some serious ROI for holders.

3) Poop

Poop is the native currency of BBNFT. Holders earn the token from a soft staking mechanism built into the discord called the Bear Bot. Users simply connect their wallet holding the BBNFT tokens and are rewarded daily based on the number of tokens they hold. Each Bear and Bull NFT they hold accumulates 100 poop per NFT every 24 hours. In addition, all members that claim the Baby Bear role can get 100 poop per day in the LootBox. There are many other ways to join the fun in scooping up poop like members tipping you, rumbles, the casino, poop drop free for all’s X raids, and various other internal competitions. So now that you have poop what can you do with it? You can currently use your poop to participate in raffles or buy items in the store but look out for future additions.  The BBNFT store contains popular NFTs from your favorite communities or you can even trade your poop in for ETH!

In summary there are currently 9 Bears out of 333 and 6 Bulls out 333 listed for sale. This is the proven evolution of a founder crafting a diamond handed community of unique individuals all working together to create a prosperous ecosystem.

Brick by Brick – A Journey Into The Bear and Bull NFT

By The BBNFT Boogers – Read the full PDF Version here

As with most NFT projects, it started with a random tweet from a friend with a competition sometime in March 2023. The artwork caught my eye immediately and there was an opportunity to become whitelisted. Jumping into the Discord I was greeted with an extremely warm welcome and reception. The discord was rocking and things were being given away left, right and center. A $10 rumble here, a WL there. The project was giving to its community from the outset and not asking for a single thing in return. All of this activity quickly led up to the first mint:

The Bear and Bull NFT: AlphaPass. 333 bears, all with this stunning artwork and incredible detail. Mint price – FREE and available to all with a WL that would be handed out by the 20 carefully chosen Dao One members. The mint went down without a hitch on March 31st and the FP for the bears quickly rose to an ATH of over 0.5ETH. At the time of writing the floor is sitting at 0.3ETH.

Shortly after, the first Bear and Bull track dropped. Bradley Bielby, an unknown artist from the UK, got us all boppin’ our heads with his laid-back flow. Cryptoequip was blessing a random bear holder with prizes every week, the ETHTER Bunny paid everybody a visit, dope IRL BBNFT coins and cards were gifted to the community, and a mysterious Gateway Pass was announced. This was priced at 0.0012ETH with one random holder slated to be gifted 2 ETH + 90% of the mint total, but hints of further utility were dropped. 1024 passes were minted and the lucky winner walked away with a whopping 3 ETH!!! More tracks dropped, more FIRE! Cryptoequip flew Bradley Bielby out to a remote island to film the next music video. Tuning into various spaces and listening to Discord conversations, more and more stories of Cryptoequip’s generosity filtered down. Definitely a legend and all the while everybody asked the same question ‘Who IS Cryptoequip’?? Who is this guy or girl blessing people left, right and canter!?!?! May rolled around and everybody prepared for the next mint:

BBNFT Phase Blue. 333 Bulls at a mint price of 0.005 ETH. It was clear Cryptoequip was intent on making the mints affordable for all walks of life. The excitement was palpable! Those who had missed out on a Bear were determined not to miss out on a Bull! The mint sold out in under 5 minutes even with PEPE pushing gas to ridiculous highs. And shortly thereafter, the faction wars began… 4 weeks of 4 hourly rumbles with ETH prizes EVERY rumble and a major Connect 4 showdown between the leaders in each faction at the end of each week with 0.1 ETH going to the winners. Now, how do I explain to my non-Web3 friends I just won $150 playing Connect 4? Hmmmmm. The ultimate showdown between factions ended with one lucky winner walking away with 1 ETH and various NFTs. Focus then shifted to the next collection that was dropping:

Bourey vs Bulley: Bourverse. 333 VRM ready metaverse avatars at 0.01 ETH, to be used in the newly created BBNFT metaverse AKA The Bourverse. 3 months into the project and we’re building a metaverse!?!?! Remember those Gateway Passes where further utility had been hinted at? The mint WL was restricted to only holders with either a Bear and a GP or a Bull and a GP. Shortly before the Bourey vs Bulley mint in mid-June, a sneaky limited edition avatar collection was dropped unannounced. 50 Mr. Anderson avatars at a mint price of 0.05 ETH. And shortly after the Bourey vs Bulley mint, another surprise avatar collection was released:

The Poopening. 461 piles of POOP avatars to run around the Bourverse in. A lot of Bourverse related fun ensued throughout July with lots of exploration activity and a lightsaber battle for ETH being one of the definite highlights. Copperstone Band dropped the Bear and Bull EP providing the soundtrack to all the Bourverse fun!

In August Cryptoequip flipped the script entirely and dropped YUGE alpha – utility, utility, utility! The AP Bears would all accrue Alpha Points with 40 Alpha Points accruing each quarter on each bear and transferable 1:1 to USDC. Interestingly this was to be achieved through a novel mechanism where the metadata in each bear would be updated every 10-12 weeks to reflect the accrued Alpha Points. Dao Two was formed shortly thereafter and composed of all AP holders at the snapshot date. The first task offered up to the newly formed Dao Two was to define what the future utility of the Phase Blue Bulls would be. Ultimately it would end up being an investment in Xeno Mining NFTs generating regular wBTC income and rewarding holders with ‘Bullets’ tied to the wBTC and equating to roughly $90 per year per Bull (based on BTC at circa $27000 at the time of the announcement mind you, meaning that $90 would be worth much more in the anticipated bull run). August also brought about the introduction of Community member of the week where one worthy active member would be recognised and rewarded with a spin on the wheel of fortune!

Never happy to rest on his laurels, it was soon time for the unveiling of the Bourverse Karts! It was time to get the racing gloves on, bust out the avatars and do laps around the newly created Bourverse racetrack. 6 weeks of karting madness followed with weekly heats paying out 0.333 ETH and NFTs each week in prizes and more for the grand final week.

And then it started raining POOP…

That’s right, BBNFT now had its very own internal POOP token with bears and bulls accruing 100 POOP daily, a daily lootbox and various ways to earn, tip and basically poop all over everyone (in a good way)! The reward store was set up to redeem various NFTs or even ETH with POOP. At the time of writing 125,000 POOP will get you 0.05 ETH straight up and 225,000 POOP will get you a Space Riders NFT, with plenty of other goodies available in the store.

The POOP party was just starting to warm up when BITOBER was announced. An October like no other all tied to BTC and remember those Gateway Passes where further utility had been hinted at? That’s right, more utility! Four weeks of giveaways and contests all revolving around the Gateway Passes. Bears, Bulls and wBTC were dropped to various Pass holders each week, with the prizes getting bigger and bigger every week and culminating in the biggest giveaway ever in BBNFT history. 0.3 wBTC to one lucky holder and equating to a cool $10,000 at the time of the prize draw. As always Cryptoequip had the last word on all of it: “This is the biggest BBNFT Giveaway yet! And it will not be the biggest!!!”. Whaaaaaaat!?!?!

Hopefully the above gives you a taste for what BBNFT is all about and I marvel at what has been achieved in 8 short months. There are so many things I haven’t added or mentioned, as this would be a 10,000-word essay if I tried! To think that we’re only just at the beginning of this ride blows my fragile little mind.

Phase TWO is the next major event on the horizon and will be the first mass collection with 3333 hand drawn bears and bulls to look forward to! While I have focussed on the collections and events above, it would be remiss of me not to mention what I value most about this project and that is the community. From the very beginning, this project has attracted the most genuine, kind, caring and rocking people I have ever had the pleasure to associate with. Picking just one recent example, week two of BITOBER saw 3 finalists in the running for 0.1 wBTC with one winner taking all. That winner then gifted each of the two finalists with 0.01 wBTC apiece. That’s just how BBNFT is built. Cryptoequip has created something amazing, I am truly blessed to have discovered this community and I truly hope we retain this vibe once the masses flood in. With Cryptoequip, Dao One and Dao Two steering the ship, I am sure this community will only go from strength to strength. As for that question “Who is Cryptoequip?,” I’m convinced he’s Satoshi or Vitalik just looking to give back to Web3, otherwise he’s Matt Damon! Time to go stack some POOP!
