Staying up late is the largest consensus among young people today

Oscar Wilde once said, “Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”

With a lamp and a bed, you spent a whole day on your mobile phone before you realized it; as long as your eyes are open, only your phone can fit in your sight.

That’s right, I installed a CCTV monitor in your house.

“Sleep a little later, play two more games / swipe a few more tweets / read another chapter of the book…”

Staying up late is the largest consensus of young people in this generation.

What is the consensus? Consensus is value.

Why does an ape sell for a minimum of 98 ETH? Buyers are snapping up on various NFT marketplaces, making recommendations on Discord and Twitter, and thousands of people are joining chat groups for the items they purchased …… Consensus provides immeasurable value to NFT.

Since consensus can generate such tremendous value, what comes to us from staying up late? The first customized avatar NFT was generated on users’ social data in the blockchain sector, and the 3AM Owl from the community consensus that belongs to today’s young generation.

There are people who during the day have no time of their own. But during the night, they can have fun, they can be themselves, they can be free. The night belongs to them, and they belong to the night. The world calls them, “3AM Owls”.

Unlike the NFTs created by small workshops, 3AM Owl is an NFT of owl avatars generated by AI after analyzing the Twitter content of community users.

The 3AM Owl avatar NFT has 7 main components, namely background, face, eyes, head, body, hands and rare attributes. Each component has a distinct style, and the combination of components is based on the user’s individual Twitter behaviour pattern. With different tweeting events, contents, posting frequency…a little nuance, the generated owl avatar will be very different. Therefore, each NFT of 3AM Owl is a unique and irreplaceable NFT with strong personal characteristics.

Three experiments were conducted with Musk, CZ and Pak’s public Twitter posts. Even the AI could recognize that Musk is a Dogecoin fan, so his 3AM Owl NFT avatar was holding a Dogecoin.

With authorization from Twitter users, AI will use advanced AI algorithms to analyze Twitter content and generate the appropriate NFT avatar. This will be a fresh experience:

STEP 1: March 30

  • Get a whitelist spot to mint a “3AM Egg” (Blind box of “3AM Owl”).
  • Buy a “3AM Egg” from our website or OpenSea.
  • The price of an egg on our website is 0.069 ETH.
  • Follow @EpikProtocol on Twitter.
  • Beware of scams.

STEP 2: April 15

  • Enter your Twitter account like @xxx
  • EpiK Protocol AI algorithm will generate a very personalized 3AM Owl for you.

STEP 3: April 18

  • Congratulations! It’s time to check your own personalized 3AM Owl.
  • Go to OpenSea or refresh your metadata to view your 3AM Owl.

Those who own the 3AM Owl have priority to experience various types of AI Bots developed by EpiK Protocol officials and the community. Project Discover Bot, Token Monitor Bot, New Summary Bot, NFT Search Bot… Grasping the wealth code and exploring the first chance in the cryptocurrency world will probably depend on these bots in the future.

NFT is an outside-in revolution that gives jpg a price, but not a value. Such NFT prices are often limited by the valuation of marketplaces like OpenSea. The reason for this is that NFTs emerged before the community, so their meanings and values were merely imposed by people. Once you leave the cryptocurrency community and take away the FOMO emotion, all that is left is just a jpg file itself.

The 3AM Owl avatar NFT is different because it is a project of the EpiK Protocol community. Unlike other projects, the 3AM Owl avatar NFT is started with a community (EpiK Protocol), followed by a consensus within the community (stay up late + enter your Twitter account), which in turn generates value (minting).

This inside-out value comes from each individual, yet requires the consensus of other individuals. Web3 is the era of creators, and when it meets with NFT, a balance between the inside-out value and the outside-in price is achieved. This is the meaning of decentralization.

3AM Owl’ s GOAL

Everyone wants their life to be different. Every joke you crack, every emoji you send, is evidence of your life. Although an individual seems quite tiny compared to the world, each of us has the impulse to respond to the times as proof that we have lived enthusiastically.

Therefore, a good NFT project should not only have a fancy look, but it also should not be something hyped up by some unknown teams and hidden investors. It should come from a consensus that can highlight every different person, style and personality, and memorable moment and event in the web3 world. A good NFT project should have a community first. The community is the power source of the NFT engine.

Through codes, people segmented out the universes in which individuality and creativity blossomed in the form of NFT.

Indeed, the imagination of NFT goes beyond art and collection. The community culture that NFT represents is the embodiment of the Web3 spirit, though it is merely the tip of the iceberg as well. With the construction of NFT infrastructure, emerging concepts such as NFT Lending and NFT Finance will give the NFT field a more imaginative narrative value, which in turn will drive NFT to become the most important part of the crypto world.

Don’t miss the 3AM Owl’s whitelist

The first customized avatar NFT based on users has already appeared, will Web3 be far away?
