'Starship NFTs Could Bring More Value Than Mad Lads and Tensors'

That was the assertion of the founder of Ninety Eight at the Community Call on March 15, 2024 on Discord of the Starship NFT project.
Want the Starship NFT community to have the opportunity to early own 'shares' of good projects Starship is a product that has been nurtured and built by the Ninety Eight team for 2 years before announcing it to the community. The inspiration for Starship comes from one of Ninety Eight's early founder's core beliefs that the key to long-term wealth is equity ownership.
Naval - a successful venture capitalist once said: 'You will not become rich if you rent out all your time. You must own equity - a share of the business - to achieve financial freedom.'
Therefore, Starship not only acts as a branch that creates a complete ecosystem of Ninety Eight, but also is a product that supports the community in accessing and finding early investment opportunities in the cryptocurrency market.
From there, the project helps create a new generation of investors who are sustainably wealthy and have the opportunity to own part of a business to achieve financial freedom.
Why does Starship issue NFTs instead of tokens like other Launchpads on the market?
Currently, most Launchpads on the market use tokens as a tool to allow investors to participate in Launchpad. This form is very popular in the early days of ICO, IDO, IEO...
However, it has a major drawback: the percentage of tokens purchased will depend on the number of launchpad tokens the investor holds. This causes the "big sharks" to participate a lot while the majority of the community only has very few investment opportunities. As a result, the rich get richer and those with little capital find it difficult to participate in future Launchpad sales.
So Starship chose to use NFTs. Starship is not simply a Launchpad but also a place where people with long-term thinking can converge and connect. With the vision of creating a community where members can build a healthy investment culture and focus on long-term goals when investing, NFT is the most suitable tool.
Starship NFTs could carry more value than Mad Lads and Tensors
With Mad Lads and Tensor NFT, these are PFP NFT collections that have a huge community on the Solana ecosystem. However, the majority of holders will view PFP NFT as a speculative means of receiving token airdrops in the future. Once that NFT collection releases tokens, usually the NFT price will drop sharply because holders no longer have an incentive to hold it in the near future.
With Starship NFT, this is a product supported by the entire Ninety Eight ecosystem - which has been built over the past 6 years. Ninety Eight co-founder Le Thanh believes that the company can do a lot to promote the development of Starship, not to mention that there are many partners who want to issue tokens on this platform.
In the crypto market, a successful project is one that has users and a supportive community. Meanwhile, the majority of Starship NFT holders are from the Asian community, which is also where the largest user base is in the market. Therefore, opening token sales on Starship also means that the project can reach a very large Asian community.
Thanks to Starship's flexibility, foundation value and development strategy, Mr. Le Thanh believes that Starship's value will be much greater than today.
When will the first Launchpad be available?
What events will Starship have in the near future? In fact, the Ninety Eight team already has about 4-5 partners that can be deployed on Launchpad to raise capital and issue tokens.
However, because this is the first Launchpad, the team wants to prepare everything carefully and meticulously. It is expected that the first Launchpad will be available in the next 3-4 weeks. However, before the Launchpad event, the Ninety Eight team may announce a Staking program for Starship NFT.
What is Starship OG Role on Discord platform?
Starship OG Role is inspired by the Proof of Work model. The Ninety Eight team wants Starship NFTs to be not only passively held assets but also a tool to help people participate in community activities more actively.
With projects released on Starship, its success comes not only from the Ninety Eight team but also from everyone through marketing activities. So, OG Role will be like a badge for active members and maybe in the future, Starship OG will receive rewards from the team.
What do I need to prepare to join Launchpad?
Starship NFT and C98 token are the two assets required to participate in Launchpad. Mr. Le Thanh noted that if investors want to participate in Launchpad, they should accumulate these assets in advance to avoid asset prices being affected by market fluctuations when Launchpad information is announced.
All projects launched on Starship will be carefully evaluated and selected by the Ninety Eight team: from teams, ideas, projects to market trends. The most important thing about projects offered for sale on Launchpad is that they must all come from real builders, committed to long-term construction.
Starship does not target any specific market trends because each project will have its own market and products. Starship's biggest goal is to become a platform connecting investors and potential projects.
However, Starship will try to select potential projects, developed according to the latest market trends, to post on Launchpad.
Finally, Mr. Le Thanh also noted that Starship is a platform that allows investors to access investment opportunities early. However, investors should also take time to research before making investment decisions appropriate to each person's position.
