We’re thrilled to announce that we’re partnering with blockchain-based multiplayer racing project MetaRides to launch a unique collection of playable NFT cars that will feature unprecedented interoperability between dozens of metaverses. The integration will allow car lovers to make their passion for cars part of their digital identity and own custom, Unstoppable-branded NFT cars that they’ll soon be able to use to compete in a multi-level racing game.
Our community has told us that cars are the second-most desired digital assets for NFT holders to showcase their online presence. To address this demand, the new NFT cars will allow people to represent their identities with the latest in interoperable digital car collectibles – including unique colors, body styles, and license plates with Web3 domain endings like .x, .crypto and .nft. Users will soon be able to race their Unstoppable car NFTs in MetaRides Racing, with interoperability across more metaverse worlds to follow.
“MetaRides provides a perfect example of the revolutionary new features that Web3 brings to the gaming world, many of which were simply unfeasible for traditional web2 frameworks,” said Sandy Carter, COO and Head of Business Development, Unstoppable Domains. “By connecting digital identity with raceable car NFTs, we’re introducing a new way for our community to connect directly with their passions and soon, to bring them across metaverse worlds.”
MetaRides will release an open edition mint of 1 million unique, Unstoppable-branded car NFTs, featuring multiple colors and body styles (base, sport and race), as well as an Unstoppable blue garage NFT. The Unstoppable community will also be able to showcase their NFT cars in a special MetaRides section of their Profile page as part of Unstoppable’s new community builder package. Owners will also receive exclusive badges for collecting MetaRides car NFTs, including:
- “Highway Hero” – own 1 car + 1 Unstoppable Domain
- “Auto Ambassador” – own 10+ cars + 1 Unstoppable Domain
- “Whale on Wheels” – 20+ cars + 1 Unstoppable Domain
MetaRides car NFT collectors will be featured on a leaderboard, introducing friendly competition and giving super fans an opportunity to connect with one another. Additionally, car aficionados who hold 10 MetaRides x Unstoppable Domains car NFTs will be airdropped a garage NFT.
2% of proceeds from each car NFT sale will be donated to DomesticShelters.org.
In conjunction with the NFT mint, Unstoppable will host a premium domain sale of 500 car and racing themed domains, including cars.nft, motorhead.nft and automaniac.nft, giving car fans an opportunity to secure and own an elite Web3 domain to represent their digital identity. Anyone who mints a MetaRides car NFT will get access to an exclusive 20% discount code to use towards the premium domain sale.
“By partnering with Web3 industry leader Unstoppable Domains, MetaRides is expanding the scope of what’s possible in the blockchain gaming space,” said Mike Hurm, CEO of MetaRides. “Blockchain technology is helping us take gaming to the next level, empowering gamers to fully own and freely transfer, sell, or exchange their assets across dozens of interoperable virtual worlds.”
MetaRides Racing is a decentralized 3D racing game that aims to break the barriers between various metaverses by building digital dealerships and offering interoperable collectible NFT-based vehicles across numerous virtual worlds.
