What is Vanguards?
Vanguards is a collection of 10,000 Japanese inspired NFTs, randomly generated to be 100% unique from any other project known today.
The Vanguards team has meticulously designed eye catching artwork, that is supported by an extremely robust and innovative technical team that is poised to set the new bench mark for Solana NFTs.
Holders will earn rewards, evolve and fight with their Vanguards — The team wanted to offer the most engaging utility for the community, and the introduction of a DAO will add additional insurance that the project becomes the newest Blue Chip NFT.
We wish to have a global impact by building something unique and extraordinary!
Phase 1: $GUARD SPL Token & Staking
Manage your fleet and deploy Vanguards to complete missions and earn rewards!
Travel to distant planets and complete missions by joining a diverse range of staking pools. Each pool will have it’s own level of complexities, ranging from simple NFT staking, to advance ‘high reward’ staking which will only allow Vanguards with particular attributes to join them.
Staking your Vanguards or completing missions will earn you $GUARD rewards that can be used to purchase weapon or armour attachments, loot-boxes, or various cosmetic upgrades like skins and weapon effects. Spend your rewards wisely, and with the right strategy you’ll be quickly creating a formidable fighting force to earn you the maximum amount tokens.
Earn $GUARD tokens to evolve your Vanguard and reach its true potential!
- Earn $GUARD by staking your Vanguard(s).
- $GUARD tokens will be used to power the Fusion Chamber
- $GUARD tokens will enable you to purchase ‘Loot Boxes’ — A loot box can be purchased and will behave in a similar nature to a mystery box with a random reward.
- Initially loot boxes will contain: Helmets, Weapons, Armour and various parts which can be added to your Vanguard.
- Vanguards will forever be customisable and you’ll be able to create amazing combinations of extremely rare upgrades to your Vanguard through the loot-box system, auctions or store purchases.
- Vanguards will have access to different missions(staking pools) based on their traits, origin (background) and upgrades. The missions will also be constantly changing!
- Each Mission will last 30 days, and the Fusion Chamber will be available for 3 days once all missions are completed — Use this time wisely to prepare and upgrade your fleet for the next conquest!
Future Enhancements:
- The introduction of the Mission Pass as a reward in the Loot Box — The mission passes which will enable accelerated $GUARD yields and access to exclusive rewards.
- Fusion Chamber Shop- Exchange $GUARD and $SOL for specific upgrades, and ultra rare attributes that will be available for purchase through the store (No Loot Box).
Phase 2: FUSION
The Fusion Chamber will be used to evolve your Vanguard and create your dream war machine.
Our dynamic attribute system will be a major difference when comparing Vanguards to other full-body NFTs.
The Vanguards team are building a ‘build and burn’ method, where holders will be able to forge new Vanguards by mixing existing combinations. Your custom war machine will emerge from the fusion chamber once complete!
In the future, Vanguards will then have the ability to enter the Fusion Chamber, and continually experiment with new parts and create new combinations of elite soldiers to prepare for missions & battle.
Fusion will be the key part of the Vanguard Evolution Project, and the ever evolving nature of your Vanguard will mean you’re never down and out!
- Hyper deflationary NFT due to our burning mechanism.
- Same-Faction Fusion will be used to choose your favourite parts, and merge your Vanguards to create your war machine!
- Parts can be received or bought via staking, airdrops, fusion chamber, part store or in the fighting platform.
- There is no limit on the number of evolutions or fusions you may complete with your Vanguard, the missions will continually change and therefore, so should your fleet.
Each Vanguard soldier will have an class which will go towards their mission eligibility:
- Original Vanguards/Unchanged Vanguards
- Forged- Vanguards that has passed through the Fusion Chamber
- Ultras- Vanguards of the same clan that have been fused together to create a new breed of soldier (2x $GUARD Rewards)
- Colossals- Three Vanguard Pures of the same clan that have been fused together to create the strongest soldier. (3.5x $GUARD Rewards)
Class will be represented by a ‘badge’ on your Vanguard!
Future Features & Enhancements:
- Forge multiple Vanguards together to create super soldiers, choosing between parts to fit your specifications.
- Achieve advanced tiers and classes through specific enhancements enabling users to access exclusive staking pools.
- Place your war machine onto a 1500 x 500 Twitter or Discord banned to flex your favourite Vanguard!
Upon release, holders will be able to generate their own personal Twitter Banner to display their favourite Vanguard combination!
Phase 3: FIGHT
As the Civil War rages throughout the solar system, you must be ready at any moment! Take to the skies, and strike fear into the heart of your enemies!
The Vanguards team will be implementing a fighting system where deployments will last one week, and will be exclusively based on your Vanguards (Similar to missions)!
The winning team will be able to choose whether or not to burn the destroyed Vanguards, or claim parts you are able to salvage which will be randomly shared between the victorious team.
If you’re on the losing side and are lucky, you’ll be able to retreat unharmed, however, a high risk high reward system will be implemented and your Vanguard may be lost forever if destroyed in battle!
Vanguards that succumb and fall during battle, are ‘destroyed’. Destroyed Vanguards can only be resurrected by spending a large amount of $GUARD — tokens to rebuild your suit from scratch or by collecting parts from other fallen Vanguards.
Three fallen Vanguards may be combined to resurrect and create a Pure Vanguard.
The fights risk and rewards will be constantly changing, these battles are not for the faint of heart but the treasures and pride are worth risking your life!
Create the ultimate war machine by defeating your opponents and you’ll be able to conquer the world!
