Introduction
Today's discussion delves into the innovative concept of gigafactories and their promising potential in the evolving NFT market - with we are Tribe throwing more light on our first Gigafactory, “Tabula Rasa.”
So, what are Gigafactories, you ask?
Gigafactories are a revolutionary concept aiming to create smaller, incredibly powerful NFT assets.
The goal is to give holders direct access to the first layer of value and multiple outputs of yield, turning them into co-owners and distributors of power.
The goal is prioritizing quality, utility, and collective value creation over sheer quantity.
Gigafactories are reshaping the NFT landscape & Tribe is embracing this approach by providing asymmetrical upside and the ability to choose cost risk with a flexible mint.
What is Tabula Rasa?
Tribe presents Tabula Rasa: A game-changing gigafactory project reshaping the comic book industry. Join us in redefining the fan experience with cutting-edge technology and unprecedented access.
The Vision
Tabula Rasa's vision is to rebuild comic book fandom by revolutionizing the fan experience and providing unparalleled access to artists, exclusive content, and direct conversations.
With the comic book industry in a moment of disruption, Tabula Rasa aims to leverage Tribe's unique advantage of unparalleled access to talent and create a new era of comics.
Tabula Rasa seeks to reshape the industry and offer a premium comic book experience in both web3 & web2 ecosystems by addressing the misalignment between publishers and artists.
Product Execution
So, how can we ensure that we deliver Tabula Rasa as a valuable asset to individuals across the comic book world? Via “product execution.”
Product execution is crucial because it allows us to not only create valuable first-party content but also establish Tabula Rasa as a leading publisher for artists in the long run.
The versatility of the comic book art style opens up opportunities to apply it to various mediums, including PFPs, physical toys, posters, merchandise, and storytelling, expanding the reach and impact of our vision.
We’ve got three major plans; let’s learn about each 👇
→ Becoming a Publisher
Our goal at Tabula Rasa is to function as a publisher and nurture numerous subsidiary publishers over time. .
We intend to foster and scale up promising comic book artists, taking advantage of our unique access to new talent, including seasoned professionals like Joey and Logan, who have worked with Marvel, DC, Blizzard, and Nickelodeon.
Our goal is to solve the key gap between artists and their opportunities for fair pay and ownership of their IP.
→ Fostering Content & Products Through In-house IP
We will focus on building a network for future content production and engaging our community via immersive comic book experiences.
We've already produced multiple comic books using our IPs, such as Lost Realms, Keensight, Reapers, and Fury.
Along with this, Tribe aims to extend its reach beyond these IPs, collaborate with other networks, and consistently cultivate talent for new ventures.
→ Adopting an Incremental Layered Approach
Our strategy is to develop in layers, each providing increased utility, access, and potential asset yield. We envision creating gigafactories with multiple unique value outputs that can be traded.
This incremental layering approach allows us to enhance the experience and provide distinct powers to our community, ensuring a continuously evolving and rewarding journey.
In summary, Tabula Rasa aims to merge in-house assets with comics, offering exclusive NFT claims for additional value. By bridging comics and NFTs, we aim to enthrall enthusiasts and speculative collectors through an engaging storytelling experience.
Tabula Rasa symbolizes not just the future of comics but also the future of the Tribe itself, embodying the potential for value and the transformative nature of all factory assets.
