The VOID: old school on chain creativity is back
For the next couple of weeks I'm going to be focusing on a brand new NFT project on Solana called The VOID.
My profile pics and info will be all VOID for that period.
It's time to have some proper creative fun in crypto.
Welcome to ... something
https://voidrvidxr.io/ - click the Access The Terminal link
start with the video. Be warned: It is intentionally confusing.
Unfortunately the site is a bit buggy so some things are still not working fully.
The main items for the The Void are at present
the PFPs

and the memory cards

I can't tell you WHAT any of this is for. It's unclear by design. The best I can do is offer the launchpad on Magic Eden.
I mean just LOOK at that roadmap. If that doesn't get you interested then this really isn't for you.

The best way to interact with the project is via the TG https://t.me/thevoidportal
Say hello if you make it on there @andrewdotdotdot
Why The VOID?
First and foremost I was part of the first wave into the project so got airdropped a memory card and 5 PFPs
Back to the good old days of NFTs from last cycle
I wasn't in crypto during last cycle's NFT insanity but from those who were often speak of how much more fun those times were than the memecoins of today.
For mine I've enjoyed memecoins on balance but there's plenty I've not enjoyed and far too much I've outright hated. And I know that my experience is widely shared.
For all the good that we've seen from memecoins (PEPE and BONK being highlights) we've yet to see the creative & innovative high water marks set by NFT projects like:
- Pudgy Penguins
- Goblintown
- Bored Ape Yacht Club
- Famous Fox Federation
- Nouns
and many others.
There's just not been the focus on art and creativity from memecoins like there has been traditionally from NFTs. By their nature memecoins still don't have much of a canvas to express creativity on chain as NFTs do.
That said, there's a bunch of degen characteristics (nihilism and the absurd primarily) that memecoins have been uniquely able to embody which has proved quite popular.
So it's refreshing to see an NFT project, like The VOID, embrace the same degen-like characteristics that memecoins are very good at capturing whilst being able bring more creativity and much less of the extreme financialization of your average memecoin.
The vibes are somewhat familiar
I'm a very big fan of two absurdist animation shows which I think have a lot in common with The VOID.
If you haven't yet seen either of these I highly recommend both.
