The inspiration behind Cool Cats

Cool Cats NFT is based on Blue Cat, a primary character drawn by Colin or Clon “the cartoonist.” Colin spent 10 years creating this cat by putting effort into its line weight, ear height, and whisker length until it was the perfect-looking cat in the world. 

Before the official launch of the cats NFT collection, the Cool Cat was already a big hit on the internet but the creator felt that the blue cat deserved more recognition for its high-quality art. It was called “Blue Cat and the gang” based on a Medium article.

Cool Cats is the evolved version of Blue Cat entering the NFT space with its own community and ecosystem providing a wide range of perks and utility.

Seeing a huge hype on the internet about Cool Cats NFT during this month might make you wonder, well why is it so popular? Well, the PFP collection was originally a very popular piece even before it was launched because Clon showcased the Blue Cat in various exhibitions and events. 

When the project was launched many celebrities and famous personalities showed interest in the collection.  

In fact, Mike Tyson was the first celebrity to proudly display his Cat NFT as his Twitter PFP. This grabbed a lot of attention not only from the NFT community but also from Tyson’s fans. 

Later, the famous American actress Reese Witherspoon also bought a Cool Cat NFT. Other famous people like Marc Benioff, Steve Aoki, and Alexis Ohanian also owned a Cats NFT.

The collection became exclusive when the team signed a partnership with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) to “create opportunities for Cool Cats characters across an array of areas, including licensing and merchandising, animated content, brand partnerships, live events, publishing, and more.”

Cool Pets NFT collection

Cool Pets NFT collection is part of the Cooltopia created as a companion for Blue Cats. These pets are similar to Bored Ape Kennel Club, providing a good utility to the NFT holders

Cool Pets NFTs were 19,000 in total. Half of them were reserved for the OG NFT holders, while the other half went out for public sale. Each Pet comes in an egg and evolves to become either of four elements: Grass, Fire, Water, or Air. 

Cool Pets were connected with Cooltopia since they could only be grown after giving them certain digital element items from loot crates on the NFT marketplace. 

Users need to earn $MILK tokens by performing quests with Cool Pet and then buy the items using $MILK from the Cool NFT marketplace. The holders receive $MILK tokens every day, so they can use those to evolve their Cool Pet. 

This is a good example of what Cooltopia is all about. Players play games, go on quests, and perform tasks with their NFTs to earn $MILK tokens as part of the ecosystem.

Cool Cats Roadmap

Roadmap 2022

The team has also released its roadmap for 2022 to inform holders about their various adventures around the world. It recently attended the NFT NYC 2022 where they gathered all the NFT holders and partners to celebrate the development of the project and share the happiness with the community.

The team will follow the roadmap to expand the NFT brand on a global scale and make it an authentic collection competing with the likes of BAYC, CryptoPunks, WoW, and Moonbirds again.

The project is yet to release plans for 2023.

Scandals

Cool Cats NFT hasn’t had a smooth ride over the year after its launch. It was doing quite well as it ranked in the top 10 NFT collections for a long time until the newly-appointed CEO dropped out of nowhere after three months. 

This news came as a shock to everyone because the team refused to give a clear statement on why the CEO left and what was really going on behind the scenes. No one really expected such a situation because the NFT project was doing quite well with a collaboration with a Hollywood talent agency. 

The news of the CEO leaving resulted in a sudden drop in its floor prices despite being the blue-chip NFT collection. 

Since then, the team went through some drastic changes to pick up again from the bottom. Now, the NFT collection is once again dominating the NFT markets with high trading volume.

In the end, the top 5 holders of the winning champion team will also receive a grand prize. These special benefits are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a meet-and-greet with the players, a visit to the AC Milan museum and San Siro Stadium of AC Milan, a meeting with the creators of the FC club, a round-trip air ticket and accommodation in a hotel in Milan, and other community events. 

The mint for this NFT collection started on Nov 17-18 for Allowlist members and it was available for public sale on Nov 19. Currently, the collection is sold out. 

Final words

Cool Cats NFT has grown in popularity within a year of its release. In fact, many experts had called it the blue-chip NFT collection when it was first launched. There’s no doubt in saying that the PFP project has a good future ahead.

The team already introduced Cooltopia, which is a proper ecosystem with tokenomics for holders to earn tokens. This aspect makes it better than other projects that only focus on dropping generative NFTs and nothing else.

Additionally, the artist, Clon, is a big name in the art world because of his interactive and creative artwork. According to the cartoonist, Blue Cat is the first NFT collection, and the project will release more characters from the gang soon.

All in all, this PFP collection is a good investment choice for those looking for utility and authenticity among NFT collections. Seeing its steady progress in the NFT market, Cool Cats NFT will definitely rise to the top soon.
