Even before the release, the team managed to attract major NFT brands such as Cool Cats, Doodles, TBAC, Alien Fren to their promotion. The partnership with Barriers and H&M allowed the project to release a line of branded merchandise. And that’s not all. Thanks to a collaboration with Toylaxy, a line of branded toys was released.

• dreamers.

When asked “What do we value?” every member of this NFT community can say:

• unity;

• self-expression in art.

According to the founders of 3Landers, the secret to the longevity of any project is in a clear definition of identity and priorities.

Why are 3Landers popular?

The attention of market players to 3Landers NFT is attracted not only by artistic creativity and an interesting background, but also by the features of a promising project:

• Support of influential partners. Some of the big projects that 3Landers has been able to get involved even before release include Cool Cats, Doodles, TBAC, Alien Fren. Developing partnerships with Barriers and H&M allowed the project to produce branded clothing, and thanks to the collaboration with Toylaxy, a line of toys of the NFT project was released.
• Strong community of caring people. It is enough to check out their Twitter and Discord to understand how active collectors are and how interested they are in the development of the project. The number of digital items they own is also indicative: the average is 1.7 NFTs, and the top 5 whales have more than 30 tokens each.
• Lots of opportunities for both entertainment and earnings. Free airdrops, soft staking rewards, getting pixelated 3Landers for games in the metaverse, free purchase of project goods, as well as real meetings with parties / DJs / music / gifts are available to collectors.

3Landers Roadmap

Immediately after the launch of the project, 2 online meetings with the community were announced, at which the founders presented 4 strategic directions for development:

1. Community/Story/Worldbuilding

• community involvement, study and development of the culture of “genetic” and “legendary” NFT 3Land by:
• holding Campfires, that is, meetings of community members in real time;
• cooperation in the field of animation and music;
• development of written and interactive stories;
• live broadcasts on YouTube (2 times a month);
• release of a webcomics series dedicated to the stories of 3Land;
• development of a reward system for regular community members.

2. The long term 3Land adventure

Implementing the “Adventure Through History” concept, presented on March 22, 2022 as a snapshot with each 3Lander in mind. The essence of the concept is that the numerous secrets of 3Land history will be revealed gradually. As they explore this vast world, the team will give explorers orientation hints.

3. Pixel 3Landers and work towards Metaverse Integration

The pixelated presentation of the collection scheduled for Q2 2022 was implemented by the artist AB @Abaoaqu0x, 0xStudio contributor @0xstudio.

The second step in integrating the collection into the Metaverse will be 3Landers NFTs made in pixelated graphics on the Worldwide Webb platform @Worldwide_WEB3, where the project treasury has already purchased the Penthouse for 72 ETH.

4. The intersection between the NFT space and the physical world

Creation and development of a brand that represents the values of the project, i.e. freedom of expression, collaboration and creativity.

The following steps are planned as for this direction:

• collaboration with clothing brands Barriers NY and H&M;
• release of own goods (t-shirts, caps, skateboards);
• launch of toy production in partnership with TOYLAXY;
• holding meetings in the real world at NFT NYC.

As a non-commercial initiative, the #1 token auction was scheduled for March 2022. It was created by Pom together with his beloved wife. The proceeds, almost 7 ETH, were donated to Women’s Aid, a human rights organization.

Where to buy 3Landers?

Currently, 3Landers can only be purchased on the secondary market, on marketplaces such as OpenSea, X2Y2 and LooksRare.

How to buy 3Landers?

1. Remember that initially you need to connect your crypto wallet with self-storage to the marketplace of your choice.
2. Next, find the official collection using the search bar on the marketplace.
3. Analyze and choose the NFT you want to buy; click on it and then on the “Buy” button.
4. Or you can bet on the token you like. Make sure you leave enough ETH for gas or transaction fees. If the seller approves your bid, the deal goes through.

Should you invest in 3Landers?

Despite its newness, 3Landers promises to be a reliable source of investment. Here are 5 good reasons for this:

1. Exact adherence to the road map. The founders of 3Landers have never promised anything unattainable just for the sake of hype. On the contrary, they deliver on all their promises, thus earning the trust of serious investors.
2. Price stability. Despite rather tough market conditions, the minimum price of 3Lander NFTs is kept at a decent level, that is, in the range of 1 to 1.7 ETH.
3. Demand on the market. A large volume of sales of 3Landers tokens is registered daily on various marketplaces, and there are no signs of a drop in demand for them in the near future. For example, on OpenSea at least 100 NFTs from this collection are sold per week.
4. Some token holder perks, such as Adventure Bag airdrop, will allow you to earn money just by holding NFTs.
5. The commercial appeal of unique digital assets, of which there are at least 18 copies in the collection, allows them to compete with real rare works of art.

The fact that the 3Landers team recently added five new members also inspires confidence. It shows that the project is ready to grow and expand, adding optimism when you look at its future.

In any case, do your own in-depth analysis and research when investing in NFTs, and then make your own decision.

Opinion of NFTMetria

The 3Landers art project is a product of incredible talent and commercial competence of its creators. This is exactly what many other NFT projects lack, and that’s why experts predict the 3Landers collection to be as successful as Doodles.

The project’s partnerships, creativity and recognition have allowed it to develop quickly. The Alpha communities believe it will reach new heights as the 3L brand grows and the roadmap is implemented.

So far, few projects have managed to bridge the gap between the virtual and physical worlds. Apparently, 3Landers will have no problem with this if its team continues to partner both in the Web3 space and beyond.
