Time Trotters: Not Your Average NFT on the Cardano Blockchain

Time-trotting [verb]: the happier version of time-travelling.

3 min readMay 9, 2021

What’s unique?

Most projects drop at least 10,000 NFTs in a single sale.
Problems that have arised are:

1. Money-first, minting-second: delayed ownership of NFT for as long as 2 weeks, even though money has been transferred

2. Neglected after-sales: lack of maintenance care in the secondary market to prevent NFT devaluation

3. Unfair Sales Inflation: Most have a whopping 10–20 times difference between their price buckets! Not to mention, a max. price of 200ADA!

Time Trotters’ novel approach has a drop range of only 6,800-7,800NFTs for sale.

On-The-Spot Minting: You will receive the Trotter, right after a successful purchase.
Backup Sales Assurance: When the drop launches, a real-time Discord update of price, wallet address, and time-countdown will happen simultaneously.
Smooth Sales: Website and minting operate separately, aka, a crashed sale means that buyers will need to crash Discord servers and our website.
Fair Prices: Min. price start at 39ADA to prevent flippers destroying the secondary market. Max. price at 67ADA, a price bucket variation of less than x2.

Finally, our after-sales care secret weapon — Merging Mania.

Merging Mania

The goal is to complete your Trotter with a full set of era-specific gadgets and background. How do we do this? Burning.

We burn 2 NFTs, and return an upgraded NFT back to the owner. For each Trotter character, there will only be one ultimate created — The Genesis will be animated + stitched with music.

We are happy to answer any type of questions.

The race for The Trotters Genesis is on. Are you ready?

Pricing: Problems & Solutions?

The popular price bucket method is based on per 1000 NFT sold, there are downsides:

Reservation Panic: Buyers scramble to enlist help from friends, and open millions of browser tabs just to buy an NFT. Historically, this has crashed servers on more than once.
Luck becomes the Ultimate Whale: Early adopters and long-time supporters may miss out on the chance to purchase because of millisecond differences.

Our novel tokenomics allow for:

Equity for early adopters: Buy as much as you’d like. There will be no crashes, and no need for reservations as the wallet address and dust will be the same for all buyers.
Bundle Option: If you’d like more instantaneously, the option to purchase x6 Trotters or x10 Trotters will be available.
Looking Out for the Little Guys: Time is the only factor to price changes, so anybody can purchase at least one Time Trotter in the first price bucket.
Burning: The race to collect NFTs for upgrades will significantly improve the secondary market’s valuation.
