Ten characters from the comedy series will be featured in 9,999 pieces of unique non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.
As part of an effort to educate the public about new digital trends, Arabic animated series Shaabiat Al Cartoon has received its own NFT collection.
The digital tokens are being released under the Crypto Arabs project, which will offer insights into the rise of NFTs, cryptocurrency and Web 3.0 through its ‘Learn to Earn’ initiative.
Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi and Princess Nejla bint Asem of Jordan were among the first members of the Crypto Arabs Community. They were presented with artwork based on the final collection which will be distributed upon mint.
Sheikh Humaid Bin Khalid Al Qasimi said: “It is an honour to be a part of a project that is so strongly valued around education. It is so important for people in this region to be educated, and included in the future of finance. Crypto Arabs has a strong network of leaders in the Web 3 space. The knowledge they will pass onto the community is invaluable.”
Led by Mohamed Al Banna, CEO of Lead Ventures, Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of Crypto Oasis, and Adi K Mishra, Founder of Karma Innovations, Crypto Arabs is a collection of 9,999 pieces of unique NFT artwork, designed in partnership with Arabic cartoon creation, Shaabiat Al Cartoon, which aired their 16th season this Ramadan 2022.
It’s the first time that an Arabic televised cartoon is being turned into an NFT collection and will feature 10 of its most popular characters.
Individuals can become part of the Crypto Arabs community by purchasing an NFT, which will not only give them a collectable piece of artwork recorded on the blockchain as a unique NFT, but also access to a host of benefits built around their three main pillars, Education, Entertainment and Charity.
Mohamed al Banna’s key vision with this project is to educate the community about cryptocurrency and NFTs. He stated: “Web 3.0 is a new era and, as seen, can be very tricky to navigate. Hence we are bringing some of the most brilliant minds within the Crypto World to educate our community about blockchain and Web3.0. The Crypto Arabs community is your gateway to access exclusive real-world networking opportunities and enhance your business relationships.”
Members will benefit from monthly master classes and Q&As in an Oasis built-in The Sandbox Metaverse with leaders in the Crypto community including Dr Marwan al Zarouni, CEO of Dubai Blockchain Center (DBC) and Saeed Al Darmaki, Founder & CEO of Sheesha Finance. These advisers will guide members on how to navigate the world of crypto, staking, Gamefi, NFTs and DEFI and much more. With each masterclass community member complete, they will be rewarded with partner tokens.
Ralf Glabischnig added: “In partnership with Crypto Oasis, this NFT collection will enable the buyer to be part of an exclusive community where they will be granted access to major opinion leaders in the Blockchain/NFT space as well as events. One of the key elements of this project is that a percentage of the earnings from the sale of the collectable will be donated to charity. Crypto Oasis and the Crypto Arabs are committed to giving back to the community and making a difference.”
A percentage of the earnings of the collection will also go to the Rashid Centre for People of Determination, reflecting the true ethos of Crypto Arabs.
Adi K Mishra commented: “Giving back to the community is very much a part of our DNA. We have already made significant investments toward supporting the local community with some of our other projects. Our investments in Crypto Arabs is another step towards our belief in the UAE and the GCC as a premier Web 3.0 destination in the future.”
