Streetlab.io Decentralized NFT Platform Caters To All Street Artists

Street art is a militant art movement by design. Yet, it is currently under-represented in the nonfungible token (NFT) sector. To solve this challenge, a group of street-art enthusiasts joined efforts to develop Streetlab.io in November 2021. This strategy paved the way for the team to create a decentralized NFT platform for street artists throughout the world.

Now it seems like Streetlab.io is ready for its mega launch.

What is Streetlab.io?

Streetlab.io is a community-led platform that comprises the best curated Street Art NFT projects. Undeniably, the team has a hugely ambitious goal for the project. In general, Streetlab.io seems to be to Street-Art what Artblocks is to generative art.

Nonetheless, Streetlab.io is not just any simple street-art NFT platform. Instead of just selling photos of some existing murals as NFTs, this platform takes it a notch higher. The team behind this project encourages street artists to experiment with digital art creation.

By managing to make strong partnerships with big NFT communities, Streetlab strengthens its place as the #StreetArtNFT marketplace. Yes, Streetlab.io has the support of Exclusible, Deck of Degeneracy, Zeneca, Doodles Alpha, and many more. In that context, it is no surprise that over 25 world-class street artists have already confirmed their debuts on the platform.

At first, Streetlab started with 3 street art lovers. Founders, Sébastien Rouby, Alexis d’Eudeville, and Julien Bessaguet are entirely doxxed. Furthermore, the team boasts a lot of experience in the NFT space. For example, Alexis spent over 7 years at Google in Sales and continuously over-achieved the YoY revenue growth target of a 40-account portfolio.

However, that is not all. The founding team has two other members serving as the project advisors: Carlos Marcial who is an OG crypto artist himself and Benoit Couty, the founder of Museum Crypto Art.

The Genesis Collection

To raise funds for the project, Streetlab.io is now partnering with Mexican street artist Yescka to launch the Streetlab Genesis Collection. The nonfungible token collection comprises 4,444 Free Muertos. Normally, these characters are designed to represent the freedom fighters that came back from the dead to guide the street artists to the world of NFT.

How To Mint Streetlab Genesis NFTs

The NFTs are now up for grabs starting from June 2nd, at 4 pm UTC on Streetlab.io. Notably, the drop is split meticulously into three phases.

First, just the members of the allowlist were authorized to mint in the first two hours. Then, those people on the waiting list could join the sale in the next ten hours. For those two phases, the minting price was set at 0.077 ETH. Finally, the public sale opened with a price of 0.088 ETH, with the likelihood to purchase using a credit card.

Getting onto the Allowlist for Streetlab’s genesis NFT collection was quite simple. First, the investors ensured that they had at least 0.1 ETH in their Web3 wallet. Then, they followed Streetlab’s official Twitter page and join its Discord with a validated role. Finally, they registered themselves on Streetlab’s Premint page to secure their spot.

What Are The Utilities Of The Streetlab Genesis NFTs?

Streetlab Genesis NFT holders are promised to enjoy tons of NFT utilities. One thing that is guaranteed is that the genesis NFTs will function as governance tokens of Streetlab.io. In general, it means that the holders have some voting rights. Through these votes, the community decides what artwork the platform curates.

Moreover, Genesis holders get exclusive access to future drops on Streetlab as well. Notably, just the Genesis holders can participate in the platform’s Street-Artist referral program. Through the program, you get to earn 5% of the revenue share from each sale made by a street artist that you successfully referred to the platform.

However, that is not all. Among the available 4,444 Free Muertos NFTs, 88 are designed with secret traits that have the Membership Pass to the Streetlab Curator Club. That is the most significant jackpot of them all since the members of the Curator Club will get some of Streetlab.io’s profits after every quarter.
