Friends, we are sure that you are following the TON NFT market, including our other projects.
It has become customary for many to see announcements about "token burns," which are commonly displayed as almost a holiday event.

The thinking is simple: as NFTs are burned, there are fewer of them. Less supply = more demand, and the value on the secondary market should rise.
Such a process is meant to please the audience. It seems like a competent, necessary move in every project.

We don’t assume so! It is on the project TON NFT ARL where token burning is not a positive process. Absolutely not!
That is a mechanism that was invented to run successfully in the NFT space. And it is a tool for other projects to increase their demand and value.

Yet, to the question of whether there will be token burning in the ARL NFT project, our answer is quite obvious.

Our beasts of prey, the endangered species, are already scarce in nature.
The ARL collection is non-generative, there are no repeating tokens, each one is hand-drawn, not to just "let burn" a couple thousand of them, due to organizational weakness. And burning creativity is not ever the same as burning coins.

We are NOT going to burn anything, either before or after the mint.

Burning is not the only mechanism for deflation and increased demand, or to control cost.
We at TON NFT ARL have already prepared, and are implementing, our own specific, effective mechanisms for deflation. We have elegant alternative solutions that you will soon learn about.
We are announcing this, and other positive news we plan to announce during the mint, to increase interest in the project and demand from a new audience. Открыть/Комментировать

Friends, the mint is coming, so we want to be 200% ready for it, and we'll let you know the cherished date the second we learn it

Lots of people have questions that should have been closed in the post as soon as possible.
They ask us in the PM, write to the support bot, sometimes someone writes in the comments.

Still, there are a large number of people who do not ask them.
They are afraid of looking silly, of being misunderstood, or they don't believe that anyone will answer them.
There are always plenty of such people, especially in the crypto environment.

However, in this very crypto environment, including NFT, no "stupid questions" exist at all.
And it is absolutely normal to ask them, so if you don’t know something, just ask!
Always know it's absolutely fine to answer them if you know a little more than the newbies.

Let's just always be hospitable and polite

What is NFT, pre-sale, mint, marketplace?
How to buy TON?
What's going on here?
Not long ago, to the vast majority of us, these (and similar) questions seemed perfectly appropriate to us who were new, it's okay to ask them.
We spell it out in posts, streams, and we make posts with navigation; even then we can't reach everyone.

That's why our community chat exists, where we always like to see warm conversations, and offer mutual help and assistance to newcomers.
That’s the best way to develop our crypto industry and fill up our ranks. Let’s educate each other and make our ARL community warmer. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-22 21:25:59 WARNING! Scammers are hard at work!

Friends, our NFT ARL project has reached such popularity and fame that some way too enterprising, and absolutely dishonest, comrades decided to take advantage of it.

You may receive messages "from us" with the offer to acquire our NFTs via some bot, at the alleged presale price.

We don’t write such offers in PM. Never! All of our actions you can see on our channel TON NFT ARL. And only in the channel will we tell you about our promotions, pre-sales and other activities.

Do not give in to scammers, cease transferring any money to them. Block them, and complain about spam. That's the only way we can outsmart and destroy them! Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-22 10:05:00 ​Mint for TON — a special joy.

Both you and I have a vested interest in the widespread dissemination and acceptance, the mass adoption, of TON and NFT blockchain on this network.
Although our marketing machine has already come a long way, and interest in the beasts is consistently high, this is not the end of the road.
Although numerous "hunters" are lurking in the wilds, before casting about for an NFT that catches their eye...

It is impossible to miss the waves of hype that are going to hit the NFT eco-system TON.
And the marketing tributes will reach in abundance the first NFT marketplaces on blockchain.

The TON Foundation loves to hype, launching huge advertising campaigns all over the world, enjoy the benefits of Telegram. And they're going to get everyone talking about NFT on TON.
So the space will be heated and heated some more, tremendously, it's something we legitimately expect.

The first mint collections, the biggest ones, by the laws of the genre, will be the most profitable, and the fastest-selling. And ours is just one of them.
Tens of thousands of people, at least, if not hundreds of thousands, are going to watch the animals with gusto.

Yet here, too, you'll still have the advantage of being the first to go.
The key is to have the skill of waiting, and to keep a positive attitude! Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-21 15:49:38 ​Friends, our charity fundraising is up and running!

We’re moving forward as planned, and today we're proud to tell you that both of our flagship Animals Red List, and Mammals | Animals Red List channels launched a donation bot a few days ago.

And we have already started collecting donations.

Great work is ahead to develop the culture of charity on the channels in TG and increase the trust of the channels' audience to the project and its activities.
While this is a separate responsible area of work, the first stage has been set.

As you remember, 25% of these funds will be transferred to the animal protection fund, existing directly at the ARL International Red List, and a portion of them will be distributed among our NFT holders.

Also, we would like to proudly report on the number of participants in the creative phase of our project. By the time we finished rendering the collection, they were already working on it:

276 illustrators, whose skills you've seen, and more than once,
15 leaders of "Amphibians", "Birds", "Large Mammals", "Insects", etc.
and our beloved art director, for sure! Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-20 10:35:22 ​So, well, our Vancouver marmot fled, into a thicket of junipers, instead of that pig, and right before the mint.

Thus ending our creative marathon which we called "Creating the TON NFT Animals Red List Collection."
Our gorgeous illustrators can finally get back to their cottage-family-shish kebabs, recalling the meaning of the sweet words "weekend" and "wholesome sleep."

And what about us?

Well we keep moving forward, at the same cosmic speed, maneuvering skillfully and boldly.
The place of illustrators has been taken by equally creative artists-developers.
Their art is our priceless smart contracts.
A process no less exciting and fascinating than drawing.

We've all probably seen the stars of young projects light up and quickly go out, getting bogged down in the abyss of technical complexity.
But don't you forget that we have only top developers in our team, led by Vlad Arbatov? Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-17 21:30:05 Friends, today in our private club Animals Red List NFT — Private Community, a really exciting speed contest took place: the club members had to guess from the silhouette what kind of animal is depicted on our last drawn NFT ARL. We are not going to tell you about all the twists and turns, but the contest is over and we have the winners!

1st place and the NFT ARL, Tier3 prize, go to our reader, nicknamed 伊豆の踊子.
2nd place and 50 TON was won by Vadim Volodin
3rd place and 25 TON go to Stepan is typing.

Congratulations again on behalf of our team!

NFT Marmota vancouverensis (Vancouver Island Marmot).
Tier 1 (Found only on Vancouver Island in Canada, found in the mountains at about 1500m, only about 100 left in the wild). Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-17 17:35:00 Great Week of Great Announcements, not tied to any calendars, continues!

Do you know, friends, what a momentous event is happening right now as you read this post? Something not tied to any calendars.

Our illustration artists are working on the last of 13,333 artworks right this very minute, which will be turned into full TON NFT ARLs in the near future!

The collection is finished, and all the NFTs will be ready today.

Yeah, that moment has finally arrived, and to somehow celebrate this slightly sad, but so long-awaited moment, we decided to play with your imagination and fantasy.
Already today at 15:00 UTC our private club Animals Red List NFT — Private Community will give you a chance to win a prize by simply giving the right answer.

We'll announce the correct answer later, and, of course, give you the opportunity to admire this beauty. Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-17 13:21:00 Friends, we wish to help you get a better grasp of the gradations within Tier.

Each Tier is divided into legendary, epic, mythic, rare and common sublevels. We didn't have to puzzle over which NFTs to assign to which group, because virtually the same gradations already exist for Red Book animals.
You can correlate our illustrations with the official IUCN Guidelines.

On the marketplace, you can see which category a particular NFT belongs to. Perhaps this gradation will be the last straw that influences your purchasing decisions Открыть/Комментировать

2022-04-17 09:54:26 ​When will be the worms?

Well, friends, the mint is getting closer, the debate is getting hotter, and the stakes are getting higher.
Worms, toads, cockroaches - who will be the sales favorite, despite their seeming unsympathetic nature?

Their unsympathetic nature is exactly apparent, if only for the reason (and here we will repeat the commonplace truth again) that every living creature is beautiful and essential for our planet. Besides, many of us have a proverbial sense of protest, screaming that pandas and dolphins are cool, but spiders (for example) are not as "replicated" and therefore look as anarchistic as we do.

What surprised the team a bit was a request from one of the esteemed whales to show him all the "creeping and flying creepers,” if possible, with the possibility of buying a couple or two of these beauties. He's especially interested in those very worms...
(By the way, you do remember that almost all of our NFTs are drawn, right? And when it's the last one's turn... well you’ll find out soon enough! )

Every team member, like any of you, has their favorites among the NFTs. And who knows, maybe we'll show you our cards Открыть/Комментировать
