First NFT Collection from Paramount Global and RECUR Partnership to Drop with Star Trek on April 9

[Kaeden]

Well... I don't know if this was already known to be in the works but it took me by surprise. Not at all interested in it myself but yeah this will be a thing apparently.

Today, Paramount Global and RECUR announced that Star Trek will be the first NFT digital collection to drop from their multi-year partnership to bring Paramount's beloved entertainment brands and characters to the metaverse. Fans will be able to access Star Trek digital collectibles starting April 9th through Paramount.xyz, the online portal to access Paramount's iconic IP and cherished franchises in the form of NFTs.

Through this fan-focused platform, Paramount and RECUR have created a unified environment where fans can buy, collect and trade NFTs as digital collectibles across Paramount's leading portfolio of brands, including Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET, CBS, Showtime Networks Inc., and more. Star Trek is the first franchise to launch and will be followed with collectibles from Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures. Paramount.xyz allows fans to build a community, engage with peers, and unlock new, innovative and interactive experiences with properties and brands they love.

The Star Trek collectibles will be housed in "Star Trek Continuum," an experiential hub that will be the space for this first and future seasons of Star Trek™ NFTs. Here, fans will have the opportunity to own a piece of their favorite franchise while embarking on an entirely new journey.

The Star Trek Continuum sale will take place for 24 hours only on April 9th 2022 starting at 11am EST. The cost per pack will be $250. There will never be more of these designs created and the minting window will only be open for 24 hours.

The Season 0 drop on April 9th will feature algorithmically-generated starships, and no two will be the same. The starships will be unveiled on April 8th at 1:45pm CT during Star Trek: Mission Chicago, where RECUR will be hosting a star-studded panel with talent from the franchise. Fans around the world can tune in to RECUR's YouTube channel to view a live-streamed unveiling of the coveted digital collectibles.

Paramount should replace their logo; use a ferengi instead.

I don't want a randomly generated starship though

People just need to accept that NFTs aren't going away anytime soon. The constant raging at NFTs on this forum is just weird and I say that as someone who doesn't see any usage for them at all.

 

[Inugami]

There is nothing more antithetical to Star Trek then NFTs. There is literally a season of Star Trek on right now, set in 2024, talking about how a small greedy number of people are destroying the whole world showing weekly right now.

It's beyond tone deaf.

Well, I guess I know exactly when not to tune in.

No, it's not weird. What is weird is your consistent need to defend NFTs and crypto in general.

It's actually quite logical and fact-based to '"rage" against NFTs. The reasons have been explained to you in numerous threads -- in regards to their impact on the environment and the disgusting grifter nature of NFT "creators" -- but you ignore them and continue to try and scold Era as a single entity for being rightfully negative toward NFTs and crypto, only to bounce from the thread when too many people start pointing it out to you.

You don't need to defend NFTs. You really don't.

You need to accept that "No, fuck off NFTs" isn't just a monolithic Era only thing.

Defend NFTs? Lol ok. People just raging on this forum non stop for ridiculous reasons daily but you do you. Fight the power, change the world.

No. Stop.

You are literally defending them in this post by referring to the reasons that people dislike them as "ridiculous" despite the reasons being factually valid and real.

That is my point. Numerous people have explained to you why they're bad. You write those reasons off as "ridiculous."

No, I am saying people can hate them and still not get in a daily tizzy every time a new company announces plans for NFTs. If you think that is defending NFTs then you do you.

There is no usage for them except to try and rip people off with them. It also seems you've personally either invested in them or just invested in defending them. Either way NFTs are a blight. I'm glad there's push back against the things.

Star Trek presents a vast future for digitally distributed goods whether it be holograms or transported or replicated

Digital scarcity and the environmental impact should still be fought though

This forum? Go on any social media post like Twitter and everyone's raging at them.

 

[Frankie Williamson]

Yeah, anything NFT related almost anywhere is met by three responses. Hatred of it, defense of it (generally by people with DAO in their username) or confusion as to what they are. That's it.

2. Non-gaming related stories are, for the most part, not allowed. If it's something substantial, like, "Facebook/Meta requires users to sign away their soul with an NFT 'smart contract' in order to use Oculus" then all right. "Idiot loses $140T in ape jpgs," "Tucker Carlson hosts three-hour-long segment about which cryptocurrency he'd like to fuck," or "Crocs release NFTs of their most fashionable shoes" are not. An informative thread about the topic is ok, but subject to close due to user behavior.
