The latest reports confirm that the highly anticipated minting of Sphynx Cats non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has finally gone live on Solana and Ethereum mainnets. These NFTs are ancient deities renowned for their broad representation of social and religious practices in Egyptian history for over 3,000 years.
In a March 6 announcement, the team behind the Sphinx Cats project confirmed the successful launch of non-fungible collections of ancient Egyptian deities, including Mafded, Bastet, and Sekhmet. These ancient deities were sculptured and depicted more than 3,000 years ago with cat-like heads, representing long-lived justice, fertility, and power, respectively.
Moreover, Egypt also features one of the popular historical sights and tourist attractions in the world known as the “Egyptian Sphinx.” It is a monument sculpture with the body of a lion and the head of a human.
Sphynx Cats NFTs Explained
The non-fungible token space has occupied the center stage in the crypto industry and has exploded to become more mainstream over the past several years. Interestingly, the NFT mania shows no signs of slowing down as many proponents continue pushing more use cases for blockchain-based technology.
Nonfungible tokens (NFT) games are seen to be thriving and taking over the wider gaming sector. NFTs are distinct digital collectibles that are entirely powered by the blockchain. That nascent feature makes them quite suitable for use in games as representations of different consumables, characters, and many other tradeable items.
The team behind Sphynx Cats adopted blockchain-based technology to bring together ancient history and modern technology through non-fungible tokens. In this case, the team created a collection of 9,099 NFTs, each featuring different traits. Interestingly the developers want these collections to regain their glorified nature during Ancient Egypt and become the heroes of current times.
The Tech Underpinning Sphynx Cats
NFTs utilize blockchain-based technology as a rule of thumb, but Sphynx Cats intend to take this a step further. The Sphynx Cats have adopted machine learning (ML) to grade the rarity of non-fungible tokens in their collections. The team generated their collection three times and compared the results. This selection includes background, skin, face, body style, mouth, ears, head, eyes, and the frames of the NFTs, all representing the likability score.
The Sphynx Cats developers hope that these new NFTs will impress many users. Nonetheless, the team acknowledges that its projected approach is not perfect but vows to improve it. The team will be giving away trips and vacations to Egypt to explore the greatness of the Pyramids. It also pledges to offer 10% of the sales back to Sphynx Cats holders.
NFT games appear to have become popular in the Game-fi world as a means of earning income and the Sphynx Cats seem to be a perfect example. One can sell their in-game NFTs to the other players or collectors and even earn these tokens with play-to-earn models. Whenever you are moving your gaming nonfungible tokens, always make sure that you transfer them to a compatible and legitimate wallet.
