Gamified Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) project Pinazza recently launched the first series of its NFT drop “Piñazza Piñas,” and has committed to donate $50,000 out of the proceeds to mental health charities selected by community supporters.
In a statement issued here, the company stated that everyone who mints a “Piña” will receive a free future airdrop of a Piñazza Pizza NFT and owners get two opportunities to receive a rare drop and ability to trade up with the community to create partnerships and unique matches based on attributes.
One hundred tokens will be dropped to a lucky selection of community members. Successful sales will also result in building a “golden pineapple” statue within the metaverse that will act as a “Virtual Wishing Well” where some proceeds benefit the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) via a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO), the company stated.
“We’re putting fun into the NFT space through an innovative gamified NFT drop that also supports a very good cause,” said Wiley Mathews, co-creator of Piñazza. “Piñazza NFTs are not just compelling collectibles but they will create future opportunities for fun and utility throughout the metaverse, so we’re really excited to introduce this to the community.”
Mathews added, “In creating Piñazza, we pushed the boundaries of standard pfp NFTs: we explored character posing, extreme expressions, and more elaborate backgrounds,” said Michael Lennicx, co-creator of Piñazza. “This resulted in a higher-end product and a wild variety of characters, some unpredictable, that I think will bring endless laughs and inspiration to the NFT community.” Piñazza was developed by Michael Lennicx, a former Art Director for Nickelodeon Animation Studios.
