Jadu is building a world scale game with Mirrorverse
Jadu, an Augmented Reality startup making waves in the NFT space, has announced a partnership with cultural icons including Seven-Time Formula One World Champion, Lewis Hamilton; Canadian musician and internet sensation, Grimes; legendary American rapper, Snoop Dogg; visual artist, Mim Onuoha and NFT curator, Trippy to design and release 5555 Jadu Hoverboard NFTs as part of Jadu’s highly anticipated second NFT collection, available December 12th for 0.222 ETH.
Jadu‘s team of AR pioneers and veterans have quickly made a name for themselves within the crypto community. Their first item released was a collection of 1111 Jadu Jetpacks designed for AR gameplay with NFT avatars in the metaverse. The collection sold out in 20 seconds and has since become a cult favorite in the NFT gaming market – nearing $9 million in trading volume with the most expensive Jetpack selling for over $400,000.
“When people think of AR they often think of Snapchat and Instagram filters. Similarly NFTs have a reputation of being overpriced JPEGs,” shares Asad J. Malik, CEO of Jadu. “It’s important for us to show that AR is a delightful new way for us to engage with our space and planet. Meanwhile NFTs can serve as a new way to build incentive systems for communities that allow monetary value generated by gaming platforms to be shared with their players,”
The 5555 Jadu Hoverboard NFTs will be designed in direct collaboration with the aforementioned cultural icons and artists, with each personality creating their own unique Hoverboard NFT that reflects their personality and individual style. Grimes is no stranger to NFTs as her release earlier this year was one of the first from a major artist. Snoop Dogg is also participating deeply in Metaverse gaming with a huge collaboration with the Sandbox and now with Jadu. For Lewis Hamilton, a passionate supporter of the arts, design, and STEM, this will mark one of his earliest activations within the Metaverse. Mimi Onuoha is a Nigerian American visual artist and academic whose work examines the effect of data collection and technology on society. Trippy is an NFT curator who runs the largest online psychedelic art community. He also collaborated with Jadu on ultra rare Jetpacks that are currently selling for $50,000+.
Just like Jetpacks, Jadu Hoverboards will be compatible with 40,000+ avatars including popular collections like LarvaLabs’ Meebits, FLUFs and CyberKongz. Players will be able to use their Hoverboards to travel to real world locations and find other in-game NFTs, and all Jetpack owners will be airdropped Hoverboards for free.
