The EuphorAI Whitepaper
EuphorAI (pronounced you-for-ay-eye) has a big vision. A challenge early on for our team has been to communicate the full scope of that vision to our community. Instead of creating a flashy infographic or roadmap we wanted to keep it simple with this whitepaper in hopes of effectively getting that vision across!
SETTING THE STAGE
To start let’s establish some baseline knowledge about the project. EuphorAI is is a digital art collective whose goal is building a digital ecosystem through community-centric art. Accomplishing this goal will be split into 2 phases. The first being the release of 3 original NFT collections. The second is building a digital ecosystem for the existing community. Both are integral pieces of our overall vision.
The original collections serve as the launchpad for the digital ecosystem — ownership of 1 piece from our original collections gets you membership into the ecosystem which in turn, unlocks various perks and rewards.
Not only does this exclusive membership benefit you, but it also serves as a jump start to The EuphorAI Artist Support Program (more on this later though).
Bottom line is that both phases play a crucial role in the overall vision we see for EuphorAI and we hope you see the value in this long-term approach!
PHASE I
THE ORIGINAL COLLECTIONS
NFT COLLECTION 1 OF 3: THE EUPHORIA COLLECTION
AMOUNT: 5000
MINT PRICE: .025 ETH | .05 ETH
5000 generative art pieces with the central theme of euphoria. These are static images created using a hyperbolic tangent function to create “waves” with a combination of seeds that determine layers and colors which contributes to the complexity or simplicity of each piece. As our signature collection, this will be the most important piece to hold in order to participate in all three original collection mints.
EUPHORAI LOYALTY
We know that everyone has different objectives when it comes to collecting NFTs. Some fall in love with a project and join for the camaraderie, others join for a quick flip and collect the profit, and others are still trying to find the perfect piece to get their collection started. Regardless of what your motives may be, for those of you that remain loyal to EuphorAI we want to reward you. This means pre-sale access to our second collection (The Dysphoria Collection). It also means the opportunity to participate in our third collection — The Delirium Project. Utility, Longevity, and Community are EuphorAI’s three pillars and the people that stick around for the ride will continuously be rewarded. We hope this incentivizes you to join us on this journey.
NFT COLLECTION 2 OF 3: THE DYSPHORIA COLLECTION
AMOUNT: TBD
MINT PRICE: TBA
Pre-sale access automatically granted for all Euphoria Collection holders
This limited drop explores the transition from light to dark and will combine the same technical elements from The Euphoria Collection. The transition from euphoria to dysphoria is displayed through the restlessness of the art — instead of static images this collection will feature looping gifs that transition back and forth between two pieces. We hope this next step in complexity will be appealing to both original collectors and those new to EuphorAI!
NFT COLLECTION 3 OF 3: THE DELIRIUM PROJECT
AMOUNT: TBD
MINT PRICE: TBA
To access this collection, you must be an ORIGINAL HOLDER of at least 1 piece from The Euphoria Collection (Collection 1 of 3) and must still be in possession of that original piece with no transactions attached to it aside from original minting. The Delirium Project is specifically for long term holders and rewards those that took the journey through the first two collections without selling out — only original buyers and holders from the original collection will be eligible to participate.
The third and final collection is coined The Delirium Project, which is inspired by the community activity and chaos that this event invokes.
EuphorAI members that are original holders of The Euphoria Collection will be grouped in pairs. Each individual will take their respective pieces from The Euphoria Collection and submit them to the EuphorAI team. The pair will each receive one new piece, that combines the elements from both original images.
We are still determining the output of the 2 new pieces (static vs gif) and have a few additional twists involved with the combination process that we can’t share yet. As for the pairing process, current collectors have the option to either find their own partner or can elect to have the EuphorAI team match them at random for the event.
Ultimately this will be the final of the three original collections and will also be the rarest. We hope that by incentivizing member interaction it can be an event that brings everyone in the EuphorAI family together!
PHASE II
THE EUPHORAI DIGITAL ECO-SYSTEM
LONG-TERM VISION AND ROADMAP
Building a digital ecosystem through community-centric art is our mission. The three collections are a way to build up our collective while raising capital to support the long-term goals of what we expect EuphorAI to develop in to.
WEBSITE MARKETPLACE LAUNCH
After the successful launching of the first two collections, we plan to rollout the first stage of this long-term plan — the EuphorAI marketplace. Hosted on our website, this will give owners of the first two collections the opportunity to buy, sell, trade and display their pieces directly within the ecosystem. This will ultimately set the stage for the Delirium Project, enabling original holders of collection one, to connect, research, and eventually join forces leading up to the event date.
To be a member of the marketplace you must own a single piece from any of the three EuphorAI collections.
BUILDING THE COMMUNITY
With all three collections launched our focus will then pivot to fully scaling up our digital ecosystem which is rooted in The EuphorAI Artist Support Program and providing value for our collectors. With the goal of building up emerging and established artists through limited NFT collections, select artists will work with EuphorAI team to create and launch their own original art directly on the EuphorAI platform. All members of the EuphorAI digital ecosystem will have the ability to purchase these limited collections before the general public. In addition to this, ranks within the community will determine your level of access and rewards.
ADDITIONAL MEMBER EXCLUSIVE PERKS
Within the digital ecosystem members will have the ability to purchase exclusive merchandise, order physical prints of their digital pieces, and have additional physical rewards centering around the larger art world — think access to galleries, events and more.
LONG TERM UTILITY AND VALUE
Our goal is to continually give back to and reward loyalty for the collectors that own a piece from our 3 original collections. We believe the beauty and intricacy of these collections with utility removed will be worth it. But when you add the elements of the progressive collections, the physical rewards, membership into the digital eco-system we are building which provides you the opportunity to discover and support artists through their projects, and finally the overall mission of what we are trying to accomplish we feel confident that the core EuphorAI members will want to stick around and be a part of something bigger.
GIVING BACK
Last and certainly not least, with a portion of the capital raised, a fund will be established to empower the next generation’s artists and creators. Details surrounding this program are still being formulated but align with our mission of building through community-centric art.
