Product outline

At present, the V2 launchpad enables creators to select the following variables when planning and to launch their live-generative art drop:

• collection name
• description
• total supply
• item price
• royalties

Launchpad accessibility

One of the main forces of Nil so far has been its strong identity. The DAO should try to find the right way to maintain this culture, attracting “rebels” and innovative generative artists, looking to build their audience and test things, at low expenses.

Based on the discussion, the community seemed to consider an Invit-only curation as the greatest model.

Invite-only access

Similar to Foundation’s initial model, this scenario favors organic, creator-based curation based on autonomous artist referrals. At launch, a group of selected creators will be allowed to use the launchpad, each of them receiving, in addition, a set of invitations they can share with other creators.

Pros:

• A proven model that worked very well for Foundation
• Creates interest because of the rare access to the launchpad
• Curation is viral and organic, maintaining the coherence and identity of the platform.
• Requires low operational work: solely an operator to add the allowed address into the backend.

Cons:

• Requires initial onboarding of the first group of creators
• This may require pivoting the number of invites per creator
