OpenSea Mobile is live: Trade everything, together.
Block Junkies is a Large Scale Cross-Chain Community-Based NFT Project.
Enter the Madness is the first episode of content within the project. The ETM collection is a massive eclectic amalgamation containing 10,000 unique collectible NFTs. The tokens contained within the ETM portfolio are a blend of visually intense emoji-like PFPs surrounded by external concepts.
Each Main iteration of Block Junkies if followed up with Limited Content, such as Mini-Series, Open Edition and free to mint.
Enter the Madness consists of 486 layers. Spread out - between 10 traits. Within the drop - you will find a wide assortment of curated content. Spanning out - across the entire floor space of the NFTs.
One of the many goals of the project is to ensure that its portfolios contained a wide assortment of content. So that the collections within them, are be able to resonate with the largest audience possible.
To get a sense of the scope of content - contained within the ETM Drop. A breakdown of the Traits is below.
Boarders (Around the Token) - 14 Backgrounds - 14 Pets - 61 Carrying (Item/Totem Float) - 103 Eyes - 99 Expression - 61 Tentacles - 28 Face - 29 Frame (Around the face) - 29 Vibe - (Bottom Section) 48
To get a sense of some of the styling contained within the Artwork. Some of the layers in the collection are stand-alone. Meaning they only appear "as is". While other layers may possess "Alts". Meaning they have counterparts of themselves, which are more/less rare. These counterparts may be done in a different artistic style or they may be done with a more classical approach. Such as Stone, Gold, Glass, etc.

ETM took a little over a year and a half to produce. Yes, this is an insane amount of time to spend on a project.
However, it was worth every minute spent. To ensure the vision for the project. Unfolded, just as intended.
Due to the layout and style of content within ETM. We did not use generators on this collection. It's not that we didnt try. There was just too much overlapping, bleaching, and insane levels of contrast taking place when attempting to do so. Therefore each token within ETM - is hand-set. Once all the Tokens were adjusted. A sweep was carried out to rebalance the layers, followed by a walk-through that focused heavily on QC. To ensure that every Token fit the collection aesthetically.
The primary goal of the project is to build a large-scale eco-system and community. While providing stakeholders with unique Tokens. Which possess features and characteristics that help the Tokens retain their value. In conclusion, create NFTs, which not only had extrinsic value through the rarity of their traits but also possessed the ability to generate intrinsic value with their unique characteristics and features. This is why the scope of the artwork contained within the project is so wide.
Block Junkies is a blast to work on. Not only does the project provide a creative outlet, but it also grants the ability. To try new concepts and ideas within the digital floorspace.
While the project itself has a certain level of intensity built into it. There is a method to the madness. Everything contained within the project is always carefully selected and curated. To ensure that there is a seamless catalyst taking place between the concepts and components within the artwork.
The main goal of Block Junkies is to foster and grow the largest NFT community possible. Which we plan to do through the project's continuous release cycles. As we believe this to be the most organic approach to building a foundation for long-term sustainability from the ground up.
February of 2023.
Rather than focusing on a single drop, the Block Junkies platform is based on continuous content iterations. Where each main drop (10k Tokens ) is followed up by limited releases of content. Such as Mini-Series, Open Editions, and Free to Mint. Currently, we have 6 large scale drops on the board and each of them, will include their own limited content following their release.
This is for multiple reasons.
To increase flexibility, to tap into other communities and markets. As well as to remain fluid. Which all ties back into project sustainability.
We plan on dropping lots of content down the road. What we do not want, is to detour a release of new content, because gas prices are too high. So by cross-chaining, we can take advantage of all the above situations.
The next main drop of the season is Inverted Nightmare. Which we currently have about 90% complete at the time of writing this. However, before we drop the second installation of the season. We are going to drop lots of limited seasonal content. Again, some of which will be free to mint, so be on the look out!
As a holder, you get access to information about drops before the general community. Being that we offer a lot of free mints, they tend to mint out fast. So having this in your back pocket has huge advantages. Likewise, we have releases that are strictly WL'd for holders only. You will also get access to the community, its feedback channels, and potentially your voice in the project. As the project grows, being a holder will provide more than just content-based privileges.
The project has no set end date on the horizon. Everyone on the team, enjoys working on the project and enjoys developing content. With this said, we do not see the project slowing down anytime soon.
