# Alchemist Proposal: Meta-Mist

## Project name
Meta-Mist

## What is Meta-Mist?
* This project is intended to further push NFT game theory through alchemy.
* The user will be the Alchemist community, and later the whole meta community.
* The product is an obvious market fit, it just needs an Alchemists touch.
* The core challenges would be acquiring meaningful partnerships & with market conditions currently i'd say community involvement.
* This fractal would bring in a whole new audience ready to be exposed to all of the great Alchemist products. There's many ways to incentivize use as well.
* Is there any competitors? No, not with the full scope of where this could go, especially not with the alchemist touch.

## Team construction
* Open to work with anyone, just me so far.

## Milestones
* 1 Month Artist art contest.
* 1-3 Months first portrait style NFT release.
* 1-3 Months NFT requirements for harvest logic written.
* 1-3 Months invisible attribute/level counter logic.
* 3-6 Months first trait chosen to harvest an ingredient
* 3-6 Months Dapp for NFT(Gaming dashboard, with hidden information and quests)
* 6-9 months NFT market place for Alchemist projects & future partnership
* After that the only plan, is that there is no plan..

## Monetization
* All Royalties split between Treasury, Aludel, Artist, and Team
* The fundraising split would be split the same, except with a higher % to the treasury mitigate any salary pressure, and further expand opportunities for development now.

## Budget
* 2 dev salaries with the option of future expansion.
* Pool of mist(up for discussion) to be set aside for community contests and marketing.

I've had a similar idea for this back in March 2021 then with a CLI to play as yourself, but now with a NFT to play as. I think it'd help drive community, and hopefully driven by community as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this looking forward to hearing back.

## Backstory

The NFTS are a degen alien species that came to earth 10s of thousands of years ago during the golden age of alchemy. Earth became the Collections destination due to rumors of the existence of the philosophers stone. Nobody knows if their quest was ever achieved. This is due to the secrecy of the collection written in law long before their arrival on Earth “The only plan is there is no plan”. There would have been multiple extinction level events, many civilizations long passed, and gone. The NFT aliens lost in time alongside them. It was only a myth, a legend, a rumor, till one day a glimpse of light, of magic, of progress lead by great leader thegostep. A beacon waking up an army of Alchemists in search of the philosophers stone.

## Extra Notes

The main idea came from the idea that we as Alchemists should have an NFT that represents out community, but it could’t just be another jpeg project. It needed something extra.

Currently traits in NFT projects are mostly just arbitrary and thrown together with no further use case in mind. Using these as a WL precursor for future ingredients would be a fun gamification, It’d be like first starting out in Minecraft never having played before, exploring and trying to find rare ingredients.

Combinations of ingredients(burning) may be used to create items, or burn to upgrade crucibles, or where ever Alchemy can take us. These things wouldn’t just be thrown out for no reason, we’d preferable have a use case and idea planned out to impact the community in the biggest way possible.

This can be expanded and integrated with other projects. Item’s that can be used across the Metaverse with different community driven use cases.

There would eventually be an Interactive dashboard dapp, where you could choose if you have more then 1 which NFT(Character) to play as. In this, you would see historical actions taken while in play, the inventory of your character, your characters traits(both hidden and unhidded), and if there’s quests or objectives, experience gained. This basic framework leaves the door open to multiple possibilities.

The objective would be to make having an NFT feel more like a video game, and add a missing dimension to what could be NFTs.

By the portraits themselves you wouldn’t be able to tell the scope of the project, without the community the ingredients would never get made, and it would end up being just another portrait project.
Thats why it will be a quite cheap release for the community, to bring us some excitement back, and a way for more people to feel like they can be involved and have a say.
