As we cross the halfway point for this week I get to treat you guys to the next Partner we’ve been busy onboarding over here in ZerpCraft Land. These folks have already made a big splash in the XRPL ecosystem, but we’re excited to bring them into the Partner community. Please welcome the Ripple Reefs project!
The Ripple Reefs project stands apart as the only current Partner to also have received a RippleX grant from wave 2. The core of their project is a drive to push for clean oceans and the preservation of endangered marine life. That sounds like a great fit for the green XRPL if I do say so myself! Not only does the team have a strong understanding of the XRPL, but they also bring significant Minecraft experience to the table as they have built their own Minecraft servers in the past!
What better way to educate about the preservation of marine life and the importance of ocean cleanup than using Minecraft as a 3d space to teach players in an interactive way! And that’s exactly what the Ripple Reefs team is doing with their gallery build. Their aquarium will display a selection of Ripple Reefs NFTs but will also serve as an educational set piece for players to explore.
Ripple Reefs has all the makings of a great Partner. And in return, they get a boatload of great perks! Check out the rundown:
- Gallery – The Elite Realism team has constructed a custom gallery to act as a promotional launchpad for the project. A selection of Ripple Reefs art will be hosted inside the gallery. The Gallery will of course be minted as a ZerpCraft NFT that the Ripple Reefs team will hold, giving them complete control of the gallery after it’s built.
- Display your NFTs – Owners of Ripple Reefs NFTs will be allowed to post their own NFTs in the gallery or elsewhere. You can even generate a pixel art ZerpCraft NFT of the Partner NFT you own for a small fee! NFT-ception!
- Premium Perks – Owners of Ripple Reefs NFTs who register their XUMM wallet to the ZerpCraft server will automatically be given any Premium Perks introduced to ZerpCraft in the future. Built in utility for owning an NFT? Yes please!
- Land Parcel – On top of their custom gallery build, the Partners are given 50 extra chunks of land to place elsewhere in the world. This can be used as a community build spot or an extension onto their gallery.
Ripple Reefs are Partner #8, but I want ZerpCraft to be a space that all XRPL NFT projects can engage with. To that end, I’ll be making a change to how the NFT Partner program is structured. Be on the lookout for that announcement soon! We want to onboard quicker and get more projects involved! ZerpCraft is lining up to be a platform where NFT projects can promote, synergize, and build together in a fun and creative sandbox. If you have an XLS-20d project that you think would be a good fit as a Partner, reach out to me via Twitter or email at zerpcraftmc@gmail.com
