Uprising L2 to Release Free Genesis NFT Mint on August 14th

Uprising, a L2 network secured by SEGA, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, and Ubisoft, and built on the Oasys gaming blockchain, is launching its very own Genesis NFT Collection in the form of a free mint taking place on Ethereum in multiple phases starting from August 14th at 10 AM EST.

What Is the Uprising Genesis NFT Collection?

The Uprising NFT Collection is a Genesis PFP Collection of 1,111 NFTs that will serve as the foundation of the upcoming gaming-focused blockchain, with 222 NFTs reserved for partners and the treasury. According to the FAQ in the official Discord server, these NFTs will have a variety of future utilities to provide long-term value, and we already have a sneak peek of some of the utilities the community can expect to benefit from.

Utilities

So far, it’s been revealed that these NFTs will serve as PFPs but also as Game Passes for upcoming Web3 titles launching on this chain. It’s not currently clear if this Game Pass will apply only to one game, to projects the team is directly working with, or to any play to earn game that integrates these NFTs. Next to likely providing early access to upcoming crypto games, this NFT will also provide access to something else that’s been redacted, so you’ll have to wait for a future announcement to find out more. Other utilities revealed so far include bonuses to a Discord leaderboard, and a boost to the Proof of Play Points you’ll earn by actively playing various games in the ecosystem. Proof of Play Points will be used together with the upcoming Uprising token to collect various rewards from the studio and their partners as you climb the Uprising leaderboards. Gameplay, content creation, and community engagement will all be ways for players to earn both Proof of Play Points and Uprising tokens.
