Bit by bit, pieces of land are torn off from the main surface, eventually leaving the world in pieces, creating floating Islands each holding a unique value and meaning. It is up to you to collect each one and put them together to create the afterlife. Afloat Eco focuses on it’s community first Our main goal is to make an Afloat community built eco - system which wou ld bring holders value over time. We aim to become the project that our holders are proud to be a part of. Each stage of our development is thoroughly planned and detailed in order to provide real merit to our supporters. A Problem & A Solution With the r ecent surge in Solana NFTs, a lot of saturation has appeared, not only that but also scams and rugs. Even if one project is legit almost none provide real value. That is why, to stand out in a sea of avatars, we took one step forward and created great util ity, so The Afloat Ecosystem can be a long - term project that constantly evolves and produces value to our community. Supply, Price & Launch Date Total Supply 5555 Mint Price 0.69 SOL Launch Date November 26st 2021 DAO Voting 1 Vote Per 1 Island The Artwork “ To tell you a little about the (personal) idea behind these islands; It’s been a whole digital journey on finding what it is I love about digital drawing and finding a “Theme” that I enjoyed creating, and these islands have always been a dream for me to create. I really enjoy the idea of having a personal floating real - estate that one could, in a way, personalize and watch the scenery around you change constantly, in the co m fort of your ‘home’, even eventually join in with others and roam around space enjoying the ever - changing scenes. ” Says the project’s artist @etohacearte or Roberto. Each token will have 4 primary traits and optionally up to 3 secondary, allowing for trait counts of 4 , 5 – 6 or 7 . The traits are listed below. ** Each thing /object in every trait folder , for example, “The Mushroom House” in the “ Building ” section has tons of different color variations, some sub - folders even have over 40 different variations , allowing for 100M+ combinations. Primary Traits ● Island’s Floor ● Lower Island ● Background ● Building Secondary/Optional Traits ● Minerals ● Dome ● Balloons Artwork Sample Note the below is a sample only and trait variations and design is subject to change. Island’s Floor : Waterfall (Blue and Orange) Lower Island : Rock (Orange) Building : Mushroom House (Purple and Yellow) Background : Cloudy Evening Dome : None Minerals : None Balloons: None Trait Count : 4 Secondary Market Royalties Ongoing secondary sales royalties will be initially set at 10% and go to the community wallet for further distribution. The royalties will then be split between the community vault, project development fund and creator royalties. The total secondary sales royalties will be ~12% when including the commissions charged by marketplaces like MagicEden . The community may elect to change these percentages via DAO vote post launch. The secondary sales will be split as below: ● 10% of secondary sales volume to project . This will then be further split as below: ○ 30 % to (DAO) community wallet + a big percentage of funds will be added from the minting sales , as well as the creator ’s funds. ○ 40 % to launching meteorites that destroy floor Islands. ○ 30 % to creators, artist, further project costs ● 2% of secondary sales volume to marketplace fees ( MagicEden etc) Whitelisting We want to offer a decent amount of people the option of whitelisting for the project. We are not stealth launching so want to ensure a fair distribution. There will be a maximum purchase of 1 per whitelisted address. We aim to have the below white list pl aces: ● The First – First visitors of the Afloat Ecosystem will be given Whitelist + Early Access status This will be on a first in, first served basis ( 300 MAX ) ● The New – T hose who were late to pick up the Early Access status can do the tasks like levelli ng up and/or inviting people to get whitelisted. (1000 MAX ) ● The Giveaway – The rest (around 200) will be given away with different events. IN TOTAL – 1500 WHITELIST SPOTS. The Afloat Vault Initially the project will vote for which projects we will purchase from. These will be projects with Solana based digital assets. We want to find 5 initial projects to focus on and buy several assets from each project over the 5 days following sell out. T he purchased assets will be chosen by the community. The community may propose additional projects be added to the purchase list as time goes on. Road Map We have purposely steered away from the 25%, 50% 75% target - based roadmap. We fully intend to sell ou t and quickly start tackling our milestones 1. Community ● Capture The Flag Events ● Giveaways ● Community ar t / writing competition s ● Community Events 2. Governance ● Establish ing Community Wallets ● Establish ing DAO voting on our website ● Establish ing the Community Council ● Transition to be 100% community run 3.

Partnerships ● Establish partnerships & collaborations with other communities , projects. 8. Branding and Culture ● Community evolution ● Cust om emojis ● Sponsorship videos ● Promotional material Concepts & Further Information The below section provides further information about the concepts mentioned in the roadmap. Multi Signature Wallets We will a set of multi signature wallets for the community funds and vault. This allows for transition of ownership and power to the community. Capture The Flag Holders will be able to participate in all types of fun & unique events one of them being Capture The Flag. A free mint / custom airdrop / an X amount of SOL will act as the flag. To find the “flag” you will have to solve puzzles and different challenges with given clues. There will be different types of difficulties and the more difficult the puzzle - th e higher the reward. Community Council The Community Council will be responsible for collating ideas from the community into proposals for the community to vote upon. Community Council members will have elevated rights in the DAO for creating proposals. The Community Council will be elected by community vote and the first election process will begin shortly after the project sells out. $MINERAL Token The Mineral token will be a fixed supply and the result of fractionalising the community vault. You will earn X amount of $MINERAL token a week for holding a Floating Island. Additional Utility will be added to the $ MINERAL token over time. More t okenomics and info will be shared soon. Launchpad The Afloat Ecosystem residents will get a free whitelist and sometimes a free mint for our upcoming drops. Our vision with this launchpad is to expand in industries like music , fashion , since our team has connections in both of these spaces and we have some big things lined up that we can’t talk about. But s o far , we have 3 launchpad projects lined up. 1. A deflationary profile picture collection with 50% males and 50% females with implement ed breeding. 2. Generative Music / Beat Collection 3. A secret Society The implementation and direction of this initiative, however, wi ll be determined by the community. Marketplace Our own marketplace will also launch for our launchpad projects and projects of other sorts, teams. We will use the fees and royalties of our market to reward our holders , expand our project, bigger our DAO W allet. Airdrops Random airdrops to those who have not listed their NFT on any marketplaces. Time of snapshot will not be specified. Airdrops will vary from Solana, other drops on our launchpad, NFTs from the projects we collaborate with or we buy and sen d as a gift. Conclusion We still have a lot of shit that we didn’t even mention like collaborations, monthly giveaways, connections to influencers and way more dope ideas that we are curren t ly working on that will be implemented as soon as we perfect it. We will be adding more and more utility and rewards for our holders over time as we grow. We want this project to be community run and focused so our holder ’ s ideas and suggestions will be fulfilled. Thank you for reading. We can’t wait for this project c ome to life. We promise to work a lot to make sure this project truly serves the value we promise. This is our only goal. We truly want our ecosystem to be a long - term hold and we look forward to working every single day to ensure the success of it. We are going to continue keeping the community’s opinion as high as possible and really add value to the Islands. We want everyone to benefit from it
