GojuoNFT

About

Free to claim now! GojuoNFT are 5408 uniquely generated poker cards with Japanese character in ERC-721 standard issued on both Ethereum and Polygon. Unlike most NFT projects only storing a website link into the blockchain, ALL visual elements and ALL metadata of GojuoNFT are securely put on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchain, making our NFT collection truly immutable. We will also launch a Play-to-Learn-to-Earn game exclusive for our NFT owners!

Example

漢字 Sun Moon Fire Water Wood Gold Soil = 7 days in a week

 

平仮名 o ha yo u = GM / Good Morning

 

片仮名 sa to shi = founder of Bitcoin

 
 

GojuoNFT is a type of text art, aka ASCII art. Entire NFT is formed by text only which makes cost of on-chain storage much lower comparing to an image-based NFT. There are 104 Japanese characters in our collection under 3 main categories, i.e. hiragana 平仮名 (e.g.あいうえお ), katakana 片仮名 (e.g. アイウエオ) and kanji 漢字 (e.g. 日月気円). Each Japanese character is enlarged and comprised of the respective phonetic alphabet or English word.

Roadmap

Play-to-Learn-to-Earn Game

GojuoNFT owner will be eligible for playing a Tinder-style Japanese learning game to earn more NFT. It is a very simple game to test your understanding on hiragana 平仮名, katakana 片仮名 and kanji 漢字.

 

In the game, a GojuoNFT will be shown on the screen. If you think the NFT is a katakana, swipe left. If you think the NFT is a kanji, swipe up. If you think the NFT is a hiragana, swipe right. Those who get the most correct answers within a certain period can earn NFTs!

 

30% of GojuoNFT Colored are reserved as game rewards! We will potentially launch the game in Q1 2022. Stay tuned!

  • 2. If your token ID shows up here, that mean it is claimed already. Please pick another one or buy from OpenSea
  • 3.

On-chain Mechanism

 

Each GojuoNFT consists of visual elements and metadata. All metadata including suit, rank and the phonetic alphabet or the English word were already written into Ethereum when the NFT smart contract was successfully deployed.

For visual elements, there are 3 parts, i.e. top, middle and bottom. Both top and bottom parts were already written into Ethereum when the NFT smart contract was deployed. Since all 5408 NFTs are derived from 104 Japanese characters (46 Hiragana + 46 Katakana + 12 Kanji), only 104 sets of on-chain visual elements are enough to represent the entire GojuoNFT collection.

That's why there are two tiers of GojuoNFT Classic. For token ID between 0 to 103, users are required to input the middle part of the GojuoNFT visual elements when they claim the token. The input data can be found in the previous section. 104 sets of hashed data verifiers were pre-written into the NFT smart contract to ensure users inputting the exact data when they claim the token. The gas is around 0.023 ETH (for 50 gwei gas price).

For token ID between 104 to 2703, users are not required to input the middle part of the GojuoNFT visual elements. The gas is much lower which costs around 0.0075 ETH (for 50 gwei gas price).
