Deep Dive on Upcoming Luart Launch Partner: dystopAI

Welcome to dystopAI

Welcome to dystopAI, a cutting-edge AI NFT project on Terra, launching on Luart. This article is a deep dive into what dystopAI is and the infinite possibilities it brings to your NFTs. We’ll cover the mint details, their unique utility, collaborations across the Terra ecosystem, and finally, what the future entails for this AI-driven project.

dystopAI is an artificial intelligence-driven NFT project on the Terra ecosystem. Using AI, the team has created a parallel dimension where the moon has disappeared. This caused planet Earth to fall into an apocalypse.

This brave new world is comprised of cataclysmic continents, namely, “The Fallouts in the North”, “The Infernos in the East”, “The Sanctuaries in the South”, “The Wastelands in the West” and “The Eternal Blue”. Each continent has been exposed to different disasters, resulting in vastly different terrains, lifeforms, factions and technology levels. A deadly ocean separates the four continents, playing the role of peacekeeper.

The rich world of dystopAI, that community will be able to explore post-mint

Minting a dystopAI NFT will create a window into the apocalypse, unraveling the deepest, darkest secrets of this alternative reality, that community can explore together.

The AI used to create the art is trained to take text prompts as inpu,s and generate a realistic scene out of them. For example, typing in ‘underwater city’ would quite literally create an image of an underwater city. They have created a rich lore for their dystopian universe, and use AI to create vivid images based on this lore. Much of the lore is community generated, with community submitting prompts to create art for the mint collection — and this is something that will continue post-mint as well, as community shapes their destinies in dystopAI.

Mint Details

“Wen mint” is a phrase we have all come to love. Well, we have all the juicy details for you Lunatics.

dystopAI will be minting on Luart, January 20th. There will be a total of 750 dystopAI tokens available to mint at 120 UST per token.

This will be a sought after mint, given its unique utility, art and way of engaging the Terra ecosystem. Before opening up to the public, whitelisted members, The Chosen, will be able to mint first. We will release the whitelist registration form to The Chosen closer to mint. Luart will announce the exact time of mint, and maximum mint quantities, closer to the mint date.

Prior to mint, dystopAI will be running events and giveaways for whitelisting, and are also organically whitelisting members that are active on their Discord and Twitter. They’re also giving away NFTs from their partner projects — so staying active with them is the best advice we can give you!

dystopAI will also have some surprises for holders. They may or may not airdrop holders. There are also have some post-mint surprises for communities across the Terra ecosystem.

Utility

AI and collaboration is in dystopAI’s DNA. Arguably, the most valuable element of this project is their ability to ‘teleport’ NFTs from any project, across blockchains — into their dystopian universe. This allows for unparalleled exploration of the dystopAI universe, of other projects, and of your own imagination.

They have programmed the AI to take any NFT, and morph them into completely unique NFTs with AI — using your original NFT and the text input you choose, to guide the morph process. dystopAI holders will be able to morph NFTs from any project into our dystopia, each month. You’ll receive the morphed NFT as a new NFT — an airdrop that you can buy, sell and trade.

Who knows, you can even create your own NFT collection, by morphing images into unique AI-generated NFTs! There are also special benefits for holders of multiple dystopAI tokens. You’re only limited by your creativity in short, we’re creating an AI-generated gift that just keeps on giving. By holding a dystopAI token, you’ll be able to regularly morph images into NFTs with AI, in a style that you choose!

Collaborations

Collaborations are the heart and soul of dystopAI. They’re a project that’s already built bridges across Terra communities, and will continue to do so. The following includes some of the projects dystopAI has already collaborated with, with many many more in the pipeline. It’s safe to say that they’re doing utility and community building in a very unique way.

Terrans

For all you pioneering explorers, prosperous traders, magnificent architects and dread-inducing maximalists — how does your Terran traverse the galaxy? dystopAI let Terrans design their own spaceship scene using AI.

AstroVerse

dystopAI teamed up with the Astroverse team to allow their holders to envision their planet’s terrain using AI. Using their community’s text inputs, dystopAI generated over 400 planet surfaces in a mass airdrop, that included sneak peeks of AI-generated videos (part of the roadmap)

Monsterra

In collaboration with the Monsterra team, dystopAI transformed their monsteras from 2D to 3D, showcasing what it would look like if they were to come to life.

Hellcats

Hellcats are a particularly special partner they’ve run several collaborations with. dystopAI had a lot of fun transforming their alpha-content into dystopian characters and scenes.

They’ve collaborated with many more projects, and have a pipeline of projects waiting to be announced post-mint. There are big announcements with these and other projects coming soon. Make sure you get your hands on a dystopAI token to keep accessing these airdrops!

The Future of dystopAI

Although Earth was devastated and is only a shadow of its former self, even though the future seems grim, we try to keep an optimistic view for our fallen planet.

dystopAI is committed to further expand the value and utility of dystopAI NFT and reward its holders. Some plans they have in mind to further increase dystopAI’s platform include:

Enabling dystopAI NFT holders to morph any NFT using Artificial Intelligence, every month
Continuing to refine dystopAI using cutting edge research into Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and community feedback
Working with community to expand the dystopAI universe and lore
Empowering the community to bring about a utopAI
Co-design and launch the second stage of the roadmap — games, a DAO and additional novel utility are just some of the things we’re planning and designing already

With the dystopAI launch coming soon to Luart, the team is creating a new way for the community to particpate in building the world of dystopAI.

What are the main species that inhabit these lands? Who are the prevailing factions? What drives their economies? That’s all in your hands. The dystopAI team will be listening closely and incorporating the most creative ideas into their final collection.

Here’s some final alpha — look through their Discord and Twitter now — you’ll find the clues towards a free dystopAI NFT being given away…
