Heart of Gold stands as the world's first web3 NFT project featuring a buy-back function that allows users to sell their NFTs for up to 100X returns through game mechanics. We pioneer this innovative approach to address the significant challenges faced by NFT projects from 2021-2022: lack of utility, unclear goals, and non-transparent product delivery. Our business model aims for a 1.5x growth in both gross profit and user base with each minting event, reflecting our mission to build the largest NFT community in the industry.
We plan to migrate the project to the ICP blockchain, execute a marketing campaign, and launch a lottery.
