YONIVERSE PROJECT INFORMATION

WHAT IS THE YONIVERSE?
​-
The Yoniverse is the setting of a narrative. It originated from the founders art and was built by the community. It may expand in many different ways. Think of it as the title of a book series where there can be many different titles and formats. 

IS THERE A TOKEN?
-
The token for the Yoniverse is Yonix. The common interest in this project is the NFTs within the Yoniverse narrative for which Yonix is the yield sharing token also acting like a raffle ticket or tier ticket.

IS IT CHAIN SPECIFIC?
-
The Yoniverse is not a chain specific project but incentives can exist in different forms on multiple chains.

HOW DO I JOIN?
-
If you want to be part of the art collective join us in the Yoniverse discord. If you are interested in contributing with your art you will find a community that will help you get inspired and share your art with the world.

YONIVERSE FOUNDER

I am a Swedish Scrum Master and the founder of the Yoniverse art collective. I have worked in IT for years and have been interested in blockchain since 2013. I used to work as a development manager in logistics and two years ago when I was at a fair in Germany I read a magazine where an article featured VeChain and a study on RFID tracking in warehouses using blockchain technology. It was like flipping a switch in my head. I understood that in a few years from now nothing would be the same as far as the products we use. I kept reading and found many great projects with promising utility that confirmed my feeling of the coming technical revolution. One of these projects was Safe Haven on where I have been a proud node holder for a year supporting a product essential for my digital assets as an NFT creator. I also got interested in the XRPL for it being environmentally friendly, fast, safe and affordable.

 In October of 2021 I decided to make an IOU token on the XRPL following the current trustline craze to get my art out there. I was very excited to see if anyone would be interested in my pieces and the idea of people owning my work was my motivator. The response was far bigger than I expected and we quickly grew as a community. As people started participating and a narrative formed the idea of a DAO was the first thing in my mind. As I work with governance in IT on a daily basis the evolution of DAOs has been a passion for me and turning my project into one was almost like a dream come true. The project quickly changed from a simple IOU token for one of my own collections to a world-building project, art collective and trustline token ($Yonix) - trading on the XRPL decentralized exchange.

 I write art collective as there is no support for a trustless DAO on the XRPL yet. We currently have 38 Yonian artists, 2 digital content creators, 14 lore squad members and 1 animation team building the Yoniverse. These people all have value to bring to the project and are part of its community mining. All of us created Yonians, countless planets, short stories, characters, food, beasts and narratives together. We have a theme song, an animated series and have closed 5 incubators to this day. We are building something remarkable as seen when taking a stroll through the virtual gallery on our website. We are united and invested in each other. 

 The incubators are for yonian artists to submit art to the project. The idea was that the community voted on a narrative for the incubator with the only rule being that it lies within the overall Yoniverse narrative. At the end of the month the incubator opens for submissions and later for voting where the submissions are ranked. When a collection is ranked and ready it is planned for one of the snapshots. For the Yonix token we snapshot every Friday at 12GMT. Usually there is one snapshot for incubator art per month while the other are for mini collections, game-standard gear or pets. Every snapshot contains of at least a stamp that will only drop that one week. The idea of the stamps are that they will eventually be collected for a completion reward. 

 Yobot is a discord bot built by one of our devs. With it you can authenticate with XUMM and then see your collection of pre-minted NFTs, send each other Yonix or XRP, see the rich list, get access to tier rooms and see your status. We mostly use it to send rewards for discord giveaways and of course to view our new allocation of NFTs every Friday afternoon. After the last loyalty reward snapshot on the 27 of may 2022 Yobot will be open to mint users NFTs when xls-20d is released. The yonix tokens usercase will then enter epoch 2 with bigger and some currated collections. 
  
​The future of the Yoniverse is not very different from what we have now. We will continue to grow a community of people emotionally invested in the narrative and art, holding and trading yonian NFTs, the yonians will keep building a vast world, supporting each others work and their contributions will be used in plots and events within the discord foremost.
