Users staked a total of 5,000 NFTs in 24 hours after Fvckrender’s LVCIDIA launched its first era of staking. Starting October 27 at 7pm CET, FVCK CRYSTAL and FVCK AVATAR holders will be able to stake their NFTs. Holders have already deployed about 30% of NFTs across the entire ecosystem. To conclude, LVCIDIA is a user-generated artist universe developed on Unreal Engine by acclaimed crypto artist Fvckrender.
Let’s take a closer look at the first era of staking from Fvckrender’s LVCIDIA.
About the first era of Fvckrender’s LVCIDIA staking
The LVCIDIA team describes the first era of staking as their “Big Bang – the Beginning of a New LVCIDIA”. Essentially, the idea is to create a metaverse built by and for the LVCIDIA community. By spawning their NFTs, users can earn resources and use them to create stars. In other words, they get to make their mark on the metaverse as “one of the first supporters.”
Sure, when Fvckrender first announced strikes, not everyone was happy. This was mainly due to the association of strike with games and some fans disapproved of adding it to LVCIDIA. However, it is worth noting that, in the project’s own words, LVCIDIA is a “interactive art experience” and no game.
“Strike means to us that we can let our collectors participate in the creation of the greatest immersive work of art the world has ever seen,” the team explained. “Through earning resources and creating stars, staking encourages community collaboration in the pursuit of the arts. It’s unlike any kind of strike you’ve seen before, and will only add to the experience we’re building.
What is LVCIDIA?
As mentioned earlier, LVCIDIA is a user-generated, interactive art experience developed by Fvckrender. In March of this year, the artist dropped the highly anticipated FVCK AVATAR NFTs, which serve as “beacons” in LVCIDIA. The 3D collectibles come with a set of inherent utilities within the artist’s ecosystem.
How and why did Fvckrender create LVCIDIA?
In a Twitter thread, Digital co-founder OhhShiny recalled the origins of Fvckrender’s LVCIDIA. About two years ago, the crypto artist Unreal Engine (a 3D creation tool for game development) started learning how to create his own planet. Named FV_290b, the planet is both a 3D artwork and a playable experience. Later Fvckrender sold it as an NFT supported artwork.
However, the artist had bigger plans: he wanted to build more planets. “I remember him saying to me, ‘1 planet is not cool; you know what’s cool? A Billion Planets,” OhhShiny tweeted. “So Fred went back to work and figured out how to create a universe of stars and planets, each one unique piece of art, own and playable.”
Fvckrender has now sold out two collections: FVCK CRYSTALs and FVCK AVATARs. Finally, his vision for LVCIDIA came to fruition this week.
“Yesterday a mechanism was revealed that allows works from both collections to become lovable as if each were a space artifact in its universe,” OhhShiny explained. “Each artwork can have different resources, which can then be spent to generate new stars and planets, which are owned as @fvckrender artworks.”
